155. I am not a Clinton supporter
I am not saying "she is better than he is!" I am not claiming that my perception is more valid than yours, or saying that I have a superior view of things, I am merely saying that I am not certain that your view is correct. I am not comparing the two candidates, or obsessing at all over the race. If Clinton is as bad as people claim, that kind of takes the starch out of using Clinton as a comparative example to promote Obama. If she is that bad, then anyone would be better, yes?

Oh, I have "heard everything about it" all right, over and over and over again. When you track down the charges from the howling mob to their source, you find that Clinton was a sleaze bag, but that the outcry is way, way out of proportion to the offense, and nothing she did was that out of the ordinary for any politician in any campaign.

You have feelings of trust and admiration for a personality - I respect that. But that is not "facts." It is valid and legitimate, but you can't expect or demand that everyone feel the way you do, nor call your feelings facts and the opinions of others delusional.

I am not opposed to the Obama candidacy, do not dislike him, and am not trying to trash him. I am just not in love with him, and I am questioning the methods that many of his supporters are using.
