Even if she only sticks to half these positions (which seems silly to believe to me, but apparently not so much to others), it is still better than the zero or very few we will get with a Republican in office.
I could support Mickey Mouse over Hillary. Have you been paying attention to her conduct during the past 4 months?

No sir, you put aside your personal vendetta against Bush, then you can arrogantly tell other people to put aside their "personal vendetta" against others.

There is no "if." I've made my position on the issues, McCain, Obama, and Hilllary crystal clear, and if you've failed to read them, then that's your problem.

As for reactionary, that sounds like a communist talking point. If you want to call me "reactionary", well ok, but from what point of view? The sickle and hammer? lol

It's disingenuous to make a speech opposed to the war? Please tell me what the cutoff point is for being able to speak honestly in a speech. OK, so by your standard all state senators who make speeches are liars. Who does get to make speeches without automatically being a liar, only federal lawmakers?
