I want the Constitutional Law Professor and Civil Rights Attorney speaking for me.
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 09:46 PM by AtomicKitten
With the Bush Crimes out loud now and ripe for prosecution, I want the one that will stand between them and their getting away with it.

Not the one that voted YES on the Iraq War Resolution. Not the one that voted YES on Kyl-Lieberman. Not the one that just spoke of her own imperial presidency punctuated with the cry of the hawk: MASSIVE RETALIATION.

This is the one I want:

She wants an umbrella over the Middle East? Doesn't sound like we'd be getting out of there any time soon. She has lied in the past, and lies now, and will continue to lie. I can't trust her not to invade another country.

39. Actually NOT a Constitutional Law Professor. Semantics and all.
Edited on Fri Apr-18-08 05:21 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
He was a senior lecturer.

He does not give himself that title, BTW. He is clear that he taught classes and I've not heard him make the claim of being a Constitutional Law Professor.

51. Well, if poster #1 says so...LOL. At least, Sen.Obama doesn't make the same claim, hopefully.
It's just that if the title gets out there, and Constitutional Law Professor is an attention getting title and then FAUX or Drudge decides to trumpet the fact that he was a "SENIOR LECTURER" well, nuance is pretty non existent these days, during political season.

And calling the Democratic candidate a "liar" is a proven successful tactic for those who want the war machine to keep grinding on.

Poster #1. :rofl:

53. Point taken but can we be at ease at DU?
All this excruciating examination of minutia is exhausting. I proffered a title, was corrected, and now I'm being corrected again. It's making me dizzy. At some point I would like to think we'll be on the same side.

61. Ya know, I worked for the Clintons through their 1992 and 1996 campaigns and
that is flat-out not true. Is there a reason you aren't content to expound on what she has actually done, choosing rather to exaggerate her already puffed-up resume? You have no clue that you are just making it worse for her already basement level credibility. But, hey, you go on with your bad self.

66. Riiight! Why don't you start your own thread and try to sell that here at DU?
Jeez, why do you guys keep exaggerating her record? Haven't you clued in yet to the notion that Americans are tired of being bullshitted 24/7 by people like the Clintons and the MSM and the GOP? But you keep doing it over and over and over again expecting a different result.

It's over for Hillary. Barack Obama is going to be our nominee. The sooner you get used to it and swallow your bitterness over it, the sooner the Democratic Party can turn to beating John McCain in November.

No worries, we're moving on with or without you either way.

I'm done with you. Enjoy shitting on my thread.

74. You want the one who was sick /no campaigning /no afraid to take a stand
on Kyle-Lieberman instead? You want the one who supported the war since he has been in office and voted every time to fund it and never ONCE spoke out against it when he had the power to do something about it?

You want someone who votes present or who waits for the political fall out before he takes a stand?

I want someone who STANDS.
