Reply #31: While I am not exactly the biggest Hillary supporter... [View All]

the OP was certainly among one of the most clear examples of bad reason to oppose Hillary. No one wants to go through what right dragged us through during Bill Clinton's stint in office. But if we decide that we are not going to nominating someone, legitimate qualifications aside, just to avoid the trouble the right will cause, then we have given up. If they see we are unwilling to go into what may be seen as a "difficult" general election, all they have to do is show they will make it difficult for any of our stronger candidates, and we will be steered towards a weaker one. And do not think for a second there is something special about Bill or Hillary that makes them more susceptible to attacks, they will find ways to attack any of them. They in fact have already laid ground work (Barrack Hussein Osama, err Obama and John "$400 Haircut" Edwards).

Let us decide who we think is the best candidate based on their issue positions, leadership skills, and other germane qualifications. Then we must go about the business of preparing ourselves for the inevitable attacks from the right regardless of the nominee.
