Ten Questions for Hillary Supporters

HarperLee · 03-07-2008, 05:42 PM

1. When did Sen. Clinton cross the Commander-in-Chief threshold?

2. Was it before or after October 11, 2002 when she flunked the biggest foreign policy test of her career and voted to authorize the war in Iraq?

3. How can a candidate claim to be ready on Day One when on Day 646 of her senate career she voted for a war without reading the 90-page National Intelligence Estimate that so convinced senate colleague Bob Graham the war was a mistake?

4. Are you okay with the Clinton campaign darkening Sen. Obama's complexion in its ads and would you be okay with it if that's what it took to win the nomination?

5. Do you think Sen. Clinton's failure to plan for a primary campaign beyond Feb. 5 -- best exemplified by the Iowa insult of Mississippi that she figured would never come back to haunt her -- demonstrates the foresight you want in a president?

6. Do you think Sen. Clinton's top-down, consultant-heavy campaign spending -- that necessitated her $5 million loan to the campaign -- is an indication that she'd be a good steward of the economy?

7. Are you okay with a Democratic candidate suggesting that the Republican nominee would make a better Commander in Chief than her Democratic rival?

8. Do you agree with Howard Wolfson's charge that asking a presidential candidate to release her tax returns is tantamount to Ken Starr's $40M fishing expedition?

9. Do you agree with Mark Penn's suggestion that some states are significant and some states are insignificant?

10. Are you looking forward to another I-was-for-the-war-before-I-was-against-it general election campaign?

Are we supposed to respond to all 10 questions? Or just conclude that Hillary desperately wants to be president and will do just about anything (even Monica Lewinsky) to get the office? Maybe it is whomever wants it more. Is Obama willing to do or say anything to become president? Probably. But will he do it? Hillary has shown she will. Obama seems to be a bit squeamish.

For the mathematically impaired, 2004 plus 4 equals 2008. Thanks for playing are you smarter than a kindergartener though.

Calling on Jesus Christ in these debates is permitted. But try to make it applicable please and not just in vain.

I support both Democratic candidates and will support, work for and vote for the Democratic nominee. However I would be most interested if the more vocal Obama-exclusive supporters, those who would rather see McCain in the White House if their choice somehow loses an apparently insurmountable delegate lead and loses the nomination, tell those who may be on the fence why Mr. Obama is the superior choice.
You see, it is hypocritical to complain about one candidate tearing down another while a (fortunately) few of that other's supporters do little else. It is hypocritical to claim anyone who challenges or questions the few most acrimonious supporters are "bitching" or "whining" while posting thread after thread bitching and whining about this or that offense one candidate has visited upon their preferred choice, while ignoring the unpleasantness inherent in politics for two thousand years.
Tell the undecided, of which I am not one, why they should support your candidate over another.
Just a suggestion, you understand.

I think someone has too much time on it's hands. Bless it's heart.

you ceratinly save me a lot of posting time, trying to " answer" the constant charges of the Obama fans

Thank you for clarity of purpose ( calling out those who won't vote for Hillary over McCain).

as I've been putting it: "Eyes on the Prize"
