(some)Clinton supporters are FUNNY...
They're screaming about Obama's judgment in staying with this church while their candidate, with all her "experience":

-Voted FOR the IWR;
-Voted FOR the 2005 Bankruptcy "reform" bill, a.k.a., "No Credit Card Company Left Behind";
-Voted AGAINST a Senate amendment to a House bill (S.Amdt. 4882 to H.R. 5631) that would have banned the use of cluster munitions in civilian areas and refugee camps.
-While First Lady, couldn't get her health care plan through a DEMOCRATICALLY-CONTROLLED Congress.

So, Clinton, with all her experience, voted for an unjust, ill-conceived war, voted to reward credit card companies for their irresponsible business practices, voted to preserve the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas and refugee camps, and couldn't convince a friendly Congress that her health care plan was a good idea.

Experience, in this case, doesn't seem to translate to good judgment.

OTOH, the "inexperienced" candidate:
-Opposed the IWR when it was politically unpopular to do so;
-Voted AGAINST the bankruptcy bill;
-Voted FOR the amendment banning the use of cluster munitions in in civilian areas and refugee camps.

Hmm - doing the right thing - seems experience is NOT a prerequisite for good judgment, after all.

7. BO voted for Cheney's energy scam and couched it within some willy-nilly...
"nearly 3bil tax offset" (a thin veil of compliance) for oil companies now making record profits in the history of record profits; that in no small measure has brought America down & onto her scruffy, knobby little bloody black & blue energy-knees so that he didn't even really need to vote for the IWR in that the oil is the reason we went there after all now THAT's funny

:spray: :rofl: :thumbsup:

10. the difference
While the things you cite damage Clinton with us, and are the reasons I never supported her candidacy, they do not necessarily damage the party's chances in the general election.

That is all the difference in the world. Many of us are not happy with either candidate. That does not mean we want to see McCain elected, though.

14. Obama voters should be aware
If I was you Obama followers I wouldn't talk about who voted for what? The one issue you clowns to nail Clinton on (the Iraq war) he has not voted to stop the funding once. And their voting record are the same.
