what conservatives thought about Clintons in 2001
Here's a quote from Brian Buckley, former attorney for freerepublic.com, nephew of the late Wm. F. Buckley, Jr. This was written on freerepublic in early 2001.

"Posting on January 25 under his FreeRepublic screen name “Clarity,” Buckley said, “Why be so easy on the Clintons? Even after they are dead, I say we stuff their bodies, fix them in some kind of preservative and display them at county fairs across the nation, on a rotating basis where the citizenry can have fun putting cow dung on them (remember that’s ‘art’). If that’s not in good taste, their bodies should be flattened thin as possible, again fixed in some kind of preservative and hoisted up a flag pole to flap in the wind.”

This is the kind of trash talk and gutter politics the Clintons have endured from conservatives. Refined by fire, she's become able to shed insults, apparently.

1. Apparently that was the SRCIPT fashioned for the media machine. GHWBush knew better
how useful the Clintons were in protecting their agenda throughout the 90s.

Look at how many BCCI figures ended up putting tens of millions of dollars into the Clintons the last 8 years - the same figures protected by the Clintons' consistent protection of BushInc and his powerful cronies throughout the 90s.

The RW media smokescreen certainly served its purpose for Bush-Clinton-Bush - now they are being STOPPED so Clinton2 will NOT be in place to continue the coverups and protection of BushInc the way Bill did for Poppy.

Finally.

2. That exemplifies why the GOP wants to face her in the GE over Obama
They have been planning to run against her since Bill was still President.

7. your post ignores the reality that Obama has run a negative campaign
Why do you just ignore the facts out there? Your statement is a fallacy. You hate clinton for something that is not even true. And, then you ignore Obama's negative campaigning.

10. Some do have the tendency to elbow back, except for Jesus Christ maybe. But in my humble opinion,
his campaign, on the whole, has been fairly clean. I was an Edwards supporter and voted for Edwards in my state, even though Edwards had already called it a day.

The reason I voted for Edwards anyway, was because I did not find Obama or Clinton all that appealing. I am not a strong Obama supporter now.

The thing that really turned me against Hillary is when she said that McCain had the experience to be CIC and that Obama didn't. I have lived a fairly long life, and I have never seen such disloyalty in the Democratic nomination process. It franly blew my mind.
