Should Spitzer impugn Clinton in anyway? Should it innoculate Obama a bit on Rezko? |
|
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 02:42 PM by Perky
I so not think it should. I have never suggested that is should. The point it Guilt by mere Association is a two way street. which is all there apparently is on Rezko and Obama

4. Was Spitzer Hillary's pimp? If not, this shouldn't impugn her in any way. |

8. You guys have been beating Obama over the head with his "associations"..... |
|
...well.... if we should be judging Obama by the people he "associates" with (Rezko, Ayers, Pastor Wright)... then we need to judge Hillary by the people she "associates" with.
Spitzer is Hillary's Rezko.

9. I see your point. The Governor of New York is quite similar to a slumlord. |

28. Change the name in the story from Eliot Spitzer to Duval Patrick..... |
|
...and then tell me what your reaction would be.
Be honest (if you're capable).
Thought so.

|
Other than that I kinda doubt it has any impact

19. The crawlers at the bottom of cable newscasts will say this.... |
|
"NY Gov Spitzer, Clinton Supporter, resigns over prostitution ring scandal"
If you don't think that's relevant to this campaign, you're dreaming.
It's as relevant as Rezko.

10. I don't think it should at all... For the same reason that Rezko Fraud trial |
|
has nothing to do with Obama.
At best it is guilt by association and it would be wrong in both cases.

Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 02:25 PM by Melinda
that the OP asked a question without infering nor drawing a conclusion. His view on the matter came much later, and if you'd bother to look, you may have agreed with it.
:eyes:
I personally appreciate the fact that the OP is attempting to diffuse a potentially pointless argument against one or both candidates without rancor on his part.
Edited to more fully add MY two cents and make corrections and admit I should never post while yet half asleep.

you use Rezko to attack Obama, you should have no complaints when Spitzer is used to attack HRC.
