This is supposed to be a nomination for Secretary of State where we use diplomacy and try NOT to go to war. Yet you advocate President Obama, who's got more than enough shit on his plate as is, to go to war with the Republicans??

If you're really pissed off at someone, go after the fucking Rethugs who have publicly dragged her reputation through the mud, called her "dumb" among other racist and bigoted pejoratives (however veiled), and demonized her day after day after day. Then, when they were completely proven wrong, they went about to demonize her, but yeah, blame President Obama because it's all HIS fault.

Exactly. n/t CincyDem Dec 2012 #1
