Maybe that's just not Barack's style, and I respect that. But I would prefer the Clintons not get the choice of weapons, and then unilaterally half-disarm myself.

(edited for spelling)

5. I like when they decry "Rovian" poltics while quoting Limbaugh and Rove.
:LOL:

11. Of course you don't want HRC to be attacked. This thread is for her rival.
And she has no problem extending her claws, does she?

15. Oh, to the contrary: I love when HRC gets attacked. It always improves her vote margin.
What seems a sad thing to me is for DUers to quote Ann Coulter. What a sign of desperation.

23. And then urging us to behave just like they do
which would then make us different from them how . . .?

3. he did it with such ease and made so much sense
Really, who does want to listen to these Bill Clinton background noises for the next 8 years. I totally agree with you.

6. I thought it was a desperate and pathetic attack
She's going to raise taxes, scary scary scary. I thought it was just the same old scary liberal bullshit.

8. I don't respect it
God help us if he gets nominated. The rethugs will eat him for lunch while he is busy trying to convince them to "work with him."

9. Yes, that's the other side of the coin.
I respect the attitude as a mark of personal ethics and style. Trouble is, when you're in a fight you're in a fight and it's necessary to win. The Clintons certainly have no qualms about trying to draw blood.

10. It sounds counter productive
eventually, one of them will have to face the Pukes. Would you prefer a strong or weakened candidate?. If either was smart enough they'de try to stay out of infighting

13. I believe that Barack is stronger than he appears
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 11:25 PM by iconocrastic
But IF it appears he can't stand up to HRC, people will think exactly as written above, that he might be unable to stand up to the Thugs. That's why I wish he would attack more sharply. In a championship basketball game (choose your analogy) there will be tough competition. It's a fight, and there are only votes to be counted, not points awarded for style.

12. Romney lied. You want Obama to lie?
Romney said Hillary wanted us to just leave. That's a lie. Hillary is the one who said, among other things, she was concerned about leaving Iraqi people who helped us all these years.

In other words, Hillary believes in a planned withdrawal covering all the circumstances involved with such a departure. She has been reamed by Democrats for refusing to agree with a quick bug out.

24. He can't because she keeps him on defense. Romney will be on defense also.
