Hillary Clinton cannot let go of her dream

If you believe her to be preferable over Obama, then I believe that her tactics and planning have worked to deceive you into believing that she is something she is not.

I don't "believe her to be preferable over Obama", I believe her to be much, much easier to beat in November than Hussein. Also, I believe that the stronger Hillary is now, now matter who eventually wins in Denver, the weaker the demonrats are in November.

But alas, it is not meant to be. The Clintons have been finally caught in one-too-many lies and this last lie was a super-duper-whopper. A lie so big, and so stupid, that even the demonrats can't stomach her anymore.

She coulda been a contender. But now she's toast. And so much the worse for us.

My comment was not directed at you.

I know. I was just chiming in. I wasn’t really directing my comment to you personally, just to the idea that the superdelegates were always beyond her reach. I think until very recently they WEREN’T beyond her reach, at least not completely.

But now all has changed. Now they are completely beyond her reach.

(I’m not arguing the point, I’m just posting my take on the situation. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just saying the way I see it.)

No problems, no offense on my part was taken. However, we are kind of talking two different things here.

You are referencing who is easier to beat, Obama or Hillary. A valid case could be made either way.

The original comment I made was to someone who believed that Hillary would be preferred as President over Obama, because Hillary is less liberal then he is. That is what I took exception to. Hillary has gone to great lengths to deceive people into thinking she is not a left wing extremist.

Thanks for your input.

[samtheman]

You are right. I was offtopic in your discussion. And I also believe that you are right to say that Hillary is every bit as leftist as Obama.

I didn’t outright call him evil...I said ....may be.....
Regardless, I think someone who will willingly take from one to give to another against the one’s consent is in fact, evil in a fashion. Their sense of fairness is distorted due to the one fact that they know miscreants, idlers, and slackers will always vote for largesse at the expense of others. They are willing to sacrifice freedom for security (at no cost to themselves — reminds me of the “at no cost to you!” commercials about those damn speedy wheelchairs, etc. we’re all paying for some lazy ass senior to ride around in.)
