what's up with this ?
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 04:56 AM by JI7
i hate the Kerry bashing and this type of shit makes me sick also when it comes from those who support Kerry. but seriosly, no matter what one thinks of Hillary should these types of attacks be allowed ?

2. glad they did
what ugly attacks they were. this person also said they would not vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. while i might support others before Hillary in a Primary i can't see how anyone could have trouble voting for her against a Republican.

3. Depends on who was running against her. I would have a problem voting for
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 07:28 PM by saracat
her. I would do as best I could to prevent her nomination. But i wouldn't vote for the repub or green. I'd probably not vote. Maybe. I 'd really have a problem with her. That being said, there are others I would have a worse problem with, like Evan Baygh, or (unlikely) Lieberman!

4. I didn't see it.
I'm not a Hillary fan. But I don't think vicious emotional attacks on any prominent Dem do anybody any good - they're just flamebait, they shed more heat than light. It is NOT the same thing as reasoned criticism, even harsh reasoned criticism.

5. I agree
I have problems with Hillary as a politician. (She is actually not bad in her votes, pretty liberal.) But she has never impressed me with her political skills at sheparding her issues through the Congress. (Health Care died. Her ineptitude at Health Care contributed to Dems losing both houses of Congress in '94.) I don't have that much of a problem with her recent speeches on reproductive choice as it is a semantic appeal not a core values change. But still, she's not my favorite. (That said, I don't think the feigning right thing is going to work. She is too well known. The press will nail her on this later on, it's just good a target.)

But I would vote for her before I voted for a Rethug. (I would have to have a lobotomy before I would ever vote for a Rethug.)
