The clear difference between Clinton and Obama is how they negotiate with our adversaries |

Hilliary believes you negotiate through threats, Obama believes you just negotiate
Hilliary's votes on the IWR and the Kyle/Lieberman amendment accentuate that philosophy.

GWB didn't successfully overhaul taxes, the judicial system, our foreign, monetary and fiscal policies simply by being amenable, and we need someone who can go from zero to full bitch in under 10 seconds if we are to have any hope of turning things around. We'll need a doer rather than a pontificator.

2. You got that ass-backwards. |

Domestically, she does nothing BUT negotiate, compromise, and cede the high ground. Only in foreign affairs does she believe in gunboat diplomacy.

4. OK, I am talking about philosophies and negotiations as I see it in regard to other countries |
|
Personally, I believe you should not negotiate by threatening your partner, that is why I do not support Hillary in the primaries
and hope she isn't our candidate, even though I will vote for her in the general election if she wins the nomination, I personally believe it will be a disaster
I also hope my assessment is wrong if she is the nominee

3. Hillary believes in coercive diplomacy. Obama believes in preemptive strike. |

5. No, just the opposite, because making threats as a way of negotiating |

has led us into the situation we are in now
I guess we don't learn from our mistakes
