Re: Debunked? With what? Bunk?

oxboggle,

Hillary Clinton has been a Senator for 7 years. Being a member of the State Senate would never qualify anyone to hold top Federal Office. Obama knew he had to be a Senator first, but apparently he only needs to be a Senator for 2 seconds. Clinton might not have as much foreign policy experience as she likes to claim, but apparenty it's ok for Obama to have absolutely *none.* Awesome.

And yes, I do have contempt for his followers--I haven't met one who has made an argument that makes any sense or is based on an understanding of fact versus fiction, reality versus fantasy. I haven't met one who is capable of a fair assessment of what actually happened in each election. Each Obama supporter I have run into (except his African American supporters) have been overimpassioned ignoramouses who confuse ardent love for political awareness and are so blinded by their passion that they can't see anything with even a modicum of complexity. It's all black and white, good versus evil, new versus old, change versus stagnancy--and NONE of that is true. None of it even makes any SENSE. You keep saying that Clinton is running on entitlement, but that does. not. make. sense. Of course she's running on entitlement--so is Obama! They ran because they thought they could and should win. And she's running with just as much support from the voting public as Obama--just as many people *want* her as want Obama. Isn't voter support the very thing that *makes* Clinton "entitled?" Again, what the hell are you *talking* about?

It has been this behavior that has turned me off to Obama--his supporters are capable of a heap-load of open sexism. His supporters are incapable of actually discussing politics. His supporters make me feel nauseus.

Ok so Hillary is a privileged (but middle-class) suburbanite---what are *you* exactly? Are you from the ghetto? Are we going to recruit our public leaders, not based on competence, but because they're Black? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama BOTH went to tony schools, they BOTH went to tony law schools. They both worked hard in school and they BOTH faced social discrimination. So somehow this makes no difference because Clinton was married to someone who held office? Or is it because she's white?

And I didn't lose--how did I lose? Do you think you won? Why? Did you do something? Are you seriously that arrogant to claim responsibility for Obama's primary success? His winning means that somehow you are a smarter. better person? As far as I remember, Bush also won. Does that mean his supporters were intelligent people who understood...anything?

And HRC and Obama would both step past you for many reasons outside of affirmative action. You and they aren't even in the same ballpark, not even in the same *galaxy* when it comes to intelligence. Clinton and Obama would murder you in a debate (on *any* subject) and then they would take turns peeing on your mascerated body--that is how much stronger either one of them is to you, so don't worry so much about you being left out due to affirmative action--you never would have gotten there anyhow.
