Reply #144: I don't enjoy posting negative stuff about other Democrats... [View All]

I actually rather like all of them...

I have said here on numerous occasions that I believed Obama would be President someday...I think he really has the It factor going for him. I just didn't think this would be the year, and I think at this point Hillary would be the superior President, I have always supported her, and hoped she would get into the race in 2004.

I have defended Obama on numerous occasions - on the Madrassa smear, against some who didn't like his answer in the first debate on abortion and women consulting with their religious advisor, on his relative experience being a bar to the Presidency (I even posted a picture of Abe Lincoln to make my point), and on his comments with regard to religion and politics that he wa criticized for around here - I don't think the negative stuff coming out about him lately is particularly earth shattering or unusual for anyone in public life...

But, when Hillary is attacked unfairly in my view, I will defend her by trying to set the record straight. But it seems that some people (present company excluded), relish in posting the same discredited stories from discredited sources about her as a way of promoting their candidate, over and over again. Just today I have seen Peggy Noonan quoted verbatim in more than one thread as an attack on Hillary.

So, eventually, if playing defense doesn't work, I am the type that will play offense to get my point across...

I would sincerely love it if the over the top Right Wing aping smears could be eliminated here. Hopefully the vitriol of the past week will get everyone thinking and maybe pull back a bit.
