"Vetted": Question about this Clinton argument |
|
Will Senator Clinton's having been "vetted" make the attacks against her in the fall should she be the nominee any less effective?
Doesn't "vetting" just mean that the GOP can save money on its opposition research and just hit the same attacks they did 16 years ago?

1. Exactly. And it's not like time stopped in the year 2000 either. |
|
All the 'vetting' they refer too happened before that. Since leaving office the Clintons have made some new shady friends and it's widely rumored that Bill hasn't been keeping it in his pants.

2. I'm worried about the Clinton library donors list, particulary those from India |
|
That will end up not being pretty. There's a reason she's called "The Senator from Mumbai"

3. I guess what I mean is, she says "vetted" as if she had been vetted and *passed* |
|
She has been "vetted" and been shown to have some pretty serious ethical lapses as regards fundraising.
Now, I know, that was just the way things were in the 1990's. But it's not the 1990's anymore. (Why do I feel like that's the fundamental disconnect between the Clinton and Obama campaigns?)

4. The purpose of being vetted is to be found clean |
|
That didn't happen with the Clintons -- per the perception of about half of this country.
I'm a Dem and even I think they aren't to be trusted.
