Political Punch

"the politics of pile-on" strikes me as whiny, which annoys me, because I don't like it when women get either portrayed as whiny, or get a pass for being whiny because they're women. She's being whiny and expecting the pass. Thank you for exactly nothing, Mrs. Clinton.

Many thanks, Jake, for the WP link to show clearly that both sides in the argument concerning declassification of Pres. Clinton's papers are equally guilty of skewing the facts to suit their own ends. Sen. Obama is simply exploiting this issue politically to cast doubt on Sen. Clinton's veracity, a tactic that she'd probably use were their roles reversed.

And, no matter what the issue of the day is, it seems that all missives from every candidate end with an urgent plea for money to stave off the collapse of civilization as we know it if that candidate's message is silenced by all those opposing him or her. We've finally seen politicians reduced to mere mendicants with everything they do or say, not a pretty picture to contemplate!

Jake, what happened to the post regarding Edwards' ad?

First I see libs want socialism, see by supporting any of the socialists on the Democrat ticket proves that.

They talked about the ATM, saying how bad it is, well they created it!

Hilary got caught, finally, and you libs blame everything else.

cordelia525 so you believe its alright she lies to the people on what she is going to do?

Not one of these libs have any experience. and change colors as the weather vein changes!

Hilary says she has experience because she was first lady, well if I remember correctly Monica spent more time in the oval office then her! (had to say it)

Hilary health care that she tried to have Bill pass was a complete failure, and then Bill pushed her out! Thats her experience, well then I guess it proves that will be a complete failure and we will be either Islamics or Chinese by the end!

She's running for the general election, reason being: because she can. She's a smart politician. Yes Drexel was her weakest performance, but that isn't saying too much.

As for the vagueries, the only one that bothered me was the drivers license issue. There's no hypothetical there. The policy is so dynamic or complex that she can't opine on it in a vacuum. I mean, I give her a pass on social security because she'll lose the general election if she concedes she's going to lift the FICA wage base or cut benefits. Better to just do what she's doing which is to keep her options open.
