Seriously guys, you've got to leave Hillary alone. Stop this Clinton bashing, it is utterly unfounded and threatens to do more harm than good to the party. The Clintons are the most famous and successful Democratic couple on the face of the planet today and even if you don't agree with all of their politics, I think you ought to show a certain level of respect. Your anti-Clinton tirades are getting from bad to worse, it's playing in the hands of our enemies (the Republicans) and serves as a destabilizing force in an otherwise united and energized Democratic Party. I can understand why those on the lunatic right wing fringe hate her but I can never get this cannibalistic, self-hating vitriol from some of my folks on the far left. Give me a break! This must be the biggest fairytale I've ever seen. Leave her alone!
This poor woman is being attacked from every angle. She can do nothing right in your sight. You accuse her of being too calculating, lacking true conviction when it really matters-like voting to authorize a war- and oh my God, the mother of all sins: Triangulating on the issues. Some of those maybe fair points but does it justify your diabolic attacks against her? She has been through so much throughout her long and distinguished career as a public servant fighting for the American middle class. The fact is grass roots, blue collar, beer drinking, ordinary Democrats love her because they know her record, they know what she stands for and they know that she is best qualified to fight on their behalf. She is probably the most vetted Presidential Candidate in US History. No one has ever been subjected to the kind of public scrutiny that she has to endure over the years. She is a fighter and a survivor. I believe she will make a great President.
The mainstream media has been incredibly unfair to Hillary. The blogosphere even more unfair. First they built her up as this inevitable candidate only to drop her like a hot potato as soon as this cool new guy named Barack Obama came on the scene and seduced them en masse with his message of Change and post-partisan unity. You were quick to write off her campaign after Obama's Iowa victory. You distorted and marred the record of one of the greatest Presidents in US History, William Jefferson Clinton, to have your way against her. You bastards wouldn't stop until you finally broke her down on national television in New Hampshire. Yes, I'm talking about that infamous choking up moment. No wonder she has retooled her campaign to reflect this message of change because all you want is Change, Change, Change and more Change! You bastards, Leave her alone!
You give Barack Obama passes for things you would otherwise use to crucify Mrs. Clinton. He exalts Ronald Reagan, and get praised for it even from some of you Kossacs, imagine if it was Hillary who had done this. He has been absent from some of the most important votes in the senate so we never get to know how he would stand on some of the most sensitive issues. You don't seem to mind at all. Edwards supporters are especially harsh towards her even though both camps stand closer on the issues than Obama's camp. Our passion is fighting for the middle class and the oppressed in society. Obama's passion is uniting Republicans and Democrats with hope.
All you Edwards people who are quick to jump on the Obama train, you better think again. I don't think you are gonna be that welcome in their camp. Mr. Edwards was closer to Hillary in rhetoric and policy (I can hear some of you growl at the suggestion of this). I actually think he wants to endorse Hillary but he is afraid there would be a backlash from his supporters. Mr. Edwards knows within himself that Hillary stands closer to him on the issues and would be the best person to represent his people's cause. So guys, stop this Clinton bashing and give Hillary a break for once. Let's focus on the issues, not on personalities and save our ammunition for the Republicans. Please leave her alone!
