4. As "Snake Oil" Obama would say "Voters who desire secret ballots are against hope".

5. Caucuses were just fine...
Edited on Thu Mar-06-08 12:13 PM by TwoSparkles
...until Hillary lost the Iowa caucus.

I've lived through many caucus cycles. Many candidates have won the Iowa caucuses, and more
have lost.

However, not until Hillary Clinton blew through Iowa, did we hear how unfair, disorganized,
disenfranchising and just plain wrong--caucuses are.

She's a sour grapes manipulator who doesn't give a rat's ass who she hurts and what Democratic
processes she maligns. As long as she can continue to position herself as a winner. It's
Iowa that is bad. Not Hillary. It's the caucuses that are inferior. Certainly,
not Hillary.

I have learned a great deal about Hillary Clinton since this primary started. One thing
I know for sure, is that she will fuck over, rip to shreds and destroy the reputation of
anyone and anything--if it benefits her in some way.

What bothers me the most is that people blindly pick up her talking points and run with them.
What in the hell has happened in this country? Are we so obsessed with candidates, that we
accept what they say and take up their marketing points and blindly defend them--no questions
asked? Disturbing.

She makes me sick to my stomach.

10. I've been against caucuses and the electoral college for ages.
As long as I could vote. There *are* some of us here who are *consistant* about this.

And certainly Hillary has been consistant about peoples votes mattering.

11. Why do you think Bush got the mass amount of support he did?
It's called Groupthink, and everyone has succomb to it...it's easy for us to say that looking from the other side. I agree with the first part though, that's it's never HER fault...it's the process. That's classic Mark Penn if you didn't know.

14. I wish it was possible to vote for individual posts for the Greatest page.
Your post would get a vote from me. Good job!

15. An example of what you're talking about:
She knows it is harder to beat Obama than it would be to beat McCain.

She is hiding her records as First lady and her tax records until she becomes the nominee.

This strategy is good for Clinton but bad for the Democratic party.

She would give us a wounded candidate as long as it is HER!

There must be some damning information in those records or she would have disclosed themm already.

8. Is that a picture of Hillary dropping the red phone in fear and confusion?
or is this a sneak-peek of her eventual arrest?

9. Hillary isn't great on the stump ...

Hillary Clinton is not great on the stump. But comparing her to Condaleeza Rice is a low blow. Hillary doesn't sound like she's ready to burst into tears every given second of every public presentation.

12. That's not really the source of the comparison
I'm mostly talking about how Hillary was out buying shoes while Obama ripped off 11 straight wins.

13. Super delegates = the biggest caucus EVER!
She certainly is well versed in irony! She decries the use of caucuses and yet she would require almost two thirds of the caucus of super delegates to capture the nomination.
