Reply #153: Of course she did, that is the POINT [View All]

Her bill provides cover for those running in TOUGH RACES. She will win her race, this is not for her, herself, it's for others. HALF the Democrats voted FOR her bill. Are they all craven, too??? Why aren't you mad at them???

Why aren't you angry with the fourteen Democrats who voted WITH the Republicans in favor of the Constitutional Amendment? Why don't you have a problem with them???

Why is it just Hillary? She had what it takes to win a brutal Senate race in 00, she'll win her seat again this year. She believes in the great art of compromise (triangulation). You seem to like winners, and she will keep her seat this year.

Here's the problem you can't overcome--the Democratic party is a BIG TENT, and when you insist that we stand for "what WE believe" you really mean "what YOU believe."

If YOU believe in CHOICE, Jack Murtha, who is under our big tent, doesn't AGREE with you--he has a ZERO from NARAL. If you believe in getting out of Iraq NOW, Hillary Clinton doesn't agree with you. If you want to ignore the Evangelical Xtian vote, you won't care for Obama.

The point is, there is no way you are going to agree with everyone in our delegation on every issue. But to single out JUST one for scorn when there are plenty of others who do the same sorts of thing just smacks of some sort of discrimination to me....darned if I can figure out exactly what kind, though.
