unf'ing believable.

Not much different then what has happened to President Obama with the certain elements in Congress

with all that is wrong, not just with the 47, but with the public awareness of events, things not covered by the media, very real problems that need fixing, etc, and their comments amount to playing pitching pennies with talking points.

The self-appointed Kool Kids have apparently decided that Clinton is worse than Hitler and anyone who doesn't hop on board their bus is deemed worthy of derision. Personally, I'm content to wait until, you know, there's an actual choice to be made in the primary.

you know, the one which predicts the use of hitler in a thread?

i'll try to remember that. otoh, if i remember when i am now i would be lost!

And got trashed anyway.

She does the right thing either never or too slowly, and she does the wrong thing with a cool calculation that has everything to do with promoting the interests of the 99 percent.

While I do not want to accuse an individual of being a Hillary Hater, I have to say that the action of calling what she did "Unf'ing believable" seems to be a tad harsh.

calling what she did "Unf'ing believable" seems to be half of my message.

read the link from the op.

read the rest of post 6.

do you still feel that i am being a bit extreme?
at what scale do you rate my hatred?
does my seeming to be a tad harsh also apply to my giving his retort the same comment?

Nothing is wrong on the level of each individual party to this. What is wrong is that WE have accepted a she said/he said toothless piece of no information and are satisfied with it.

Her statement was, "No one considering running for commander-in-chief should be signing on."

Cotton's reply was, "No, .@HillaryClinton, letter to Iran helps protect USA from bad deal. No CINC should allow world’s worst regimes to get world’s worst weapon".

NBC puts it out and we are satisfied. Yeah, she showed him. That will pull the undecided voters in. Of course the other half of the undecided see it the other way, he showed her. Good job NBC. Good job Hillary. Good job Tom. Good job America. Let's not schedule any primaries, debates, or even rallies. It's all over. She zinged him good. So, if there are no more problems in America, we'll see what clever one liners will keep this country on the garden path tomorrow.

credibility of the office of the President to foreign powers.

Nothing, absolutely nothing! At least Hillary came out against this.

in truth, she is the last Dem that i would vote for in the general. it would still be a (D) vote, but i would be questioning my own values voting for Hilla(R)y.

Cool way to rationalize it. I'd hide behind implication too had I said it.

should she the the Dem nominee i will hold my nose and vote for Hilla(R)y.

She made a perfectly acceptable statement.

And with that 47 GOP ass clowns are cleared from the field.

I haven't seen any. Yesterday there was a post a DUer had contacted I believe Durbins office and there would be a unified D response

Tim Kaine, Durbin.. don't know if the ol "unified response" has come out yet.

I've been offline all day.

Well you and I already knew that. In fact there is no Republican fit to run, they are all traitors.

on all the current gop assholes likely to run.

but, to set it up like that is perfect in my book. All the clowns in the car looked so stupid tripping over themselves and jumping onto Cotton's Letter to the Ayatollahs.

about healthcare and will strengthen Obamacare. She replace retiring SCOTUS members with decent judges.

the OP only contains the first few paragraphs of an article...copyright laws.

have voted for the Iraq war!!!

There are many dems with blood on their hands,
no balls, backbone, or principles and do not qualify
to lead this country!!!

People make mistakes especially when lied to by our own Government by proclaiming falsely that Iraq had WMD and another terrorist attack was imminent if the US failed to act.

As a Senator representing New York who had just faced the worst terrorist attack on American soil, Hillary's Constituents demanded she do whatever possible to prevent another terrorist attack.

We were all lied to and the nonstop barrage of lies about radio chatter indicating by the Bush Administration had our country in a state of constant fear...

because lately, I'm feeling a little uneasy about your candidacy.... and it's not just from the emails.

about Hllary's campaign, especially with the unforced email error — any Clinton has to know the repugs scrutinize every move with a microscope and blare every misstep to the world with a megaphone — then came the timing of the presser to explain the personal email server to re-enforce my trepidation.

I couldn't understand why she would want to hijack the news cycle away from the hammering the repugs were getting from the open letter fiasco, then I realized she was trying to slip in a response that would hopefully be under reported because the media was preoccupied with the open letter — sort of like how late Friday afternoon news dumps go unnoticed.

It was a miscalculation though as it turns out the media can walk and chew gum at the same time as both Cotton, he of the open letter, and Hillary are both now getting blasted.

Something is amiss, maybe it's her advisers who recommended the ill-timed presser, or maybe she just doesn't have Bill's political instincts. I know he would have let the repugs twist in the media winds alone for a few more days.

She did recover somewhat with the tweet about repug 2016 hopefuls. So there's hope.

There IS no deal yet. How the hell do they know what the deal will be?

And the alternative is to make no deal and allow the Iranians to continue on with whatever they want to do with no oversight from anyone else.
To kill any hope for a deal is to make it easier for Iran to build nuclear weapons.

Of course Tehran Tom has the strange idea that Iran already has weapons because he was telling them to dismantle them.
He's an idiot in every direction you look and he's got the rest of the Republicans blindly following his blindness.

I wish this would have consequences for them but I know from history that in a month or two this will be forgotten, Tehran Tom will be a hero, and voters will think once again that all these Republicans represent the pinnacle of honorable statesmanship.

. . . "he's got the rest of the Republicans blindly following his blindness."

I mean this still wet-behind-the-ears guy has only been a senator for two months and long-time, multi-term Senate veterans like McConnell and McCain, who should know better, signed on to this?

Un-effing-believable!

That march-in-lock-step think the repugs do hurt them this time.

I am very glad she tweeted this out.

Politico added some......


Hillary Clinton rips GOP rivals on Iran letter

By Kendall Breitman

3/11/15 3:24 PM EDT

Updated 3/11/15 4:22 PM EDT

Hillary Clinton took to Twitter on Wednesday to blast congressional Republicans for their recent open letter to top Iranian leaders.

“GOP letter to Iranian clerics undermines American leadership,” Clinton wrote. “No one considering running for commander-in-chief should be signing on.”

Clinton’s tweet comes after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and 46 other Republican senators signed a letter to Iranian officials warning them that any nuclear agreement with President Barack Obama could easily be reversed without congressional approval.

The tweet is a rare direct attack on Clinton’s putative Republican rivals for the White House, four of whom — Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) — have explicitly signed on to the letter, and four of whom — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — have merely endorsed its sentiments in more general terms.

of the repug treachery and cowardice.

this is the way she will become President. I'm very proud of her.

And that is where the swing voters are watching closely. The GOP ball is rolling now and it looks as though it has already run afoul.
Clearly the republicans cannot come up with a way to pr this fast enough. It wasn't a good idea ,at the time it seemed-it was a dumb idea ,a blizzard was coming had to run out of town, no time to think about it carefully, maybe it was a mistake . They are all out in front of it and at the same time they all cannot remain behind it. And isn't that the root of division.

Some will try to run with it and the others will run away from it.
47 ski due hail mary pass. McCain isn't so sure about it now that it has gone down. ICEOLATION.
As the weather begins to warm up in the cold areas the republicans prepare for the deep freeze.

Some will become frozen solid.

and I don't like being lumped in with them. I will support her, and I have supported her in the past. This hate is nonsensical. Just as bad is not being unable to criticize anything Obama does without being attacked. We need discussion, not division, at DU.

That said, I do not like it when anyone says someone is running for commander-in-chief. They are running for President. Yes, commander-in-chief is part of the job. But our country is not run by a military junta. We have a chief executive who has many jobs.

Whenever my husband would criticize the Iraq war, repubbies at his work would say, "You can't criticize our commander-in-chief when we are at war."

My husband would reply that he was not in the military any more, so Bush was not his commander-in-chief. Then, he would ask them if they had served. None of them had.

Thought of the distinction before.

Which will be good for ANY eventual Democrat who wins the presidential nominee because I think anyone who signed that letter should be held accountable for their actions.

I mean how would a President Rubio react if Democrats wrote a letter like that to leader of another nation? I highly doubt he would sit back and let it slide.

In the end this letter will hurt all of them. But right now Hillary stating that none of them should sign it pretty much is like Obama saying that kids should be Vaccinated - you know the GOP will come out totally against it.
