1. well, that can't be right...
...i agreed with the whole article..what's the author smokin?

"Bill Clinton plays hardball because winning politics is hardball."

"Bill knows the drill and has said publicly that if Obama wins the nomination he will fight tirelessly to get him in the White House. We Democrats need to remember that. We need Bill healthy for the coming fight and need to remember that taking him down early is the Republicans' best hope at retaining the White House."

i mean these are....almost logical statements!

3. Trey Ellis nails it

Obama and his supporters need to grow some thicker skin, and stop their



style rants around this board. If by some miracle he wins the nomination, the stuff he's seeing now is tepid compared to what he'll see from the GOP machine.

5. Wait til the Republicans roll out the
Barack Hussein Obama ads morphing him into Saddam. Or the one where he swears on the Quran. Or just show some of his supporters like Leo Terrel or Jesse Jackson. I think the MSM is just giving him a free ride setting him for the kill.

7. Seems like it sometimes
Look what the far-right did to Kerry with all the allegations about him regarding Vietnam...fake purple hearts, bogus Cambodia claims, tossing medals away, etc...all vile BS of course, but their spin machine worked to make a lot of people believe it.

4. All he needs to do is tell the truth, Is that to much to ask? For a Clinton I guess it is
Don't blame us for calling out Bill for his distortions and outright lies.

This is the Bush defense, you can't attack the president because it harms the presidency, no matter how despicable his words and/or actions may be.


Screw that. Bill did it, he needs to face up to the consequences LIKE A MAN ! But that seems to be to much to ask of a Clinton too.

8. Nice Republican talking points! I have not heard one lie Clinton told about Obama!
And I have researched it. This is spin from the thin skinned Obama camp. Hey it worked for the repubs, always make the Clintons the villians. Its too bad that people like you have forgotten all the good and all the tough fights the Clintons have taken on for our cause!! Are they perfect? Of course not, but are you? Am I? Is Obama? Bill Clinton is using race? One of his largest constituencies he is going against? Give me a break!

6. Campaign strategy outlined here: gain sympathy as the Clinton's victim
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 05:36 PM by robbedvoter
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/01/obama_and_clinton_to_clintons.php
Advisers believe that the more the Clintons poke at Obama, the more sympathetic he becomes, and the more she plays into his contention that she's a divisive, polarizing figure; Obama's polling shows and his campaign's strategists sense that it reminds Democrats in the interior of the country of the Clinton of yore: cold, unlikable, sarcastic -- and coastal. In states like Arizona, Kansas and Idaho and Missouri, Clinton will scare off independents and will lose support among younger women, in particular.

It's easy as his attacks on the Clintons are either not covered - or cheered by the MSM.

Reminds me of the Bush's strategy to raise his approval rate after the coup.(didn't do much though)
Some of the "gates" they made up then were floating on DU every day.

11. Bill Clinton is one human being who, at present, is behaving deplorably - he's NOT a GOD.
I swear, some of your HRC supporters think even Bill Clinton's farts must smell like "roses." :crazy:

Bill Clinton has been behaving badly.

Face THAT FACT, and for heaven sakes, move on. :thumbsdown:
