7. She ran her campaign like Rumsfeld ran the war
Both thought they would be in and done in a month.

Neither had a plan B

11. Again
you guys are showing by your reaction that this is bigger than most Clinton supporters thought it was. It really seems to have hit a nerve.

14. Sure hits a nerve
Edited on Tue Feb-19-08 07:50 PM by thesubstanceofdreams
Obama made a small mistake, which he immediately acknowledged.
Hillary made a huge mistake, which she has failed to acknowledge.
What "hits a nerve" is the complete lack of perspective, and that's why this OP is so great.

18. Anyone who votes for Clinton is not anti-war, it is as simple as that.

21. Anyone who votes for Obama
is anti-gay.

See how easy it is to throw out stupid absolutes?

22. Clinton voted for the war

Since you bring the gay issue, the equivalent would have been voting for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Obama didn't do that.

On such a grave topic as the war, there are no stupid absolutes.

24. Barack Obama Champions Gay Rights on the Campaign Trail
ON JAN. 20, THE eve of Martin Luther King Day, Sen. Barack Obama stood before Rev. King’s home church in Atlanta and proudly set forth his vision for achieving progressive change and unity in America. In that historic speech, Barack challenged his audience to examine their own prejudices. “If we are honest with ourselves,” he said, “we must admit that none of our hands are entirely clean. If we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll acknowledge that our own community has not always been true to King’s vision of a beloved community. We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them.” He continued:
“So let us say that on this day of all days, each of us carries with us the task of changing our hearts and minds. The division, the stereotypes, the scapegoating, the ease with which we blame our plight on others—all of this distracts us from the common challenges we face: war and poverty; injustice and inequality. We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing someone else down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late.”

This extraordinary act—including the LGBT community in a message delivered in the very heartland of the Civil Rights Movement—was merely the latest chapter in Barack’s advocacy on behalf of LGBT Americans. Among all the candidates in this race, only Barack Obama included gays and lesbians as participants in the American Dream when announcing his decision to run for President. Only Barack has regularly talked about LGBT equality on the campaign trail, even when the audience was not LGBT-friendly. Barack has been changing hearts and minds, and the visibility he has given to LGBT equality is unprecedented.

Barack’s commitment to LGBT rights is also manifest in his record of accomplishment, which extends throughout his 11 years in public office on every issue of concern to our community. From relationships and families to workplace discrimination to bold policies on HIV/AIDS, the Senator’s commitment is unmatched by any candidate. He has proven that he has the character to stand up for principle when the going gets tough.

In Illinois, Obama sponsored a fully inclusive anti-discrimination law that included both sexual orientation and gender identity. A subsequent version of that bill was later enacted as the Illinois Human Rights Act, now one of the most progressive laws of its kind in the country. The U.S. House of Representatives was not able to pass a bill that included gender identity. Barack helped make it happen in Illinois...

27. and I can dispute the fact
that Clinton supporters can't be anti-war.


My point, which flew so far over your head you couldn't catch it with a net, is that blanket absolutes like the one presented above are stupid.

33. You are exactly right.
It seems like a lot of Clinton supporters never thought that her support for the use of force against Iraq and her willingness to fall in line with Bush's statements would be that big of a deal at all.

It really has struck a nerve.
