If Hillary had fought Bush half as hard as she's fought Obama,
I doubt we'd be in Iraq today.

1. Baloney. If the entire country had fought Bush we'd still be in Iraq. Oh right. We are.

8. I'd be happy if she'd just fought his judicial nominees
Or maybe the MCA or the renewal of the PATRIOT act.

14. I agree... I am reading Lincoln Chafee's book and
at least I understand his reasoning... however flawed.

Why does it take them being disemployed (unelected) to be truthful with the general public?

22. Because then they are no longer on the payroll of lobbyists.
While they're in office, the institutionalized bribe money is just too good. Oh, and there was that anthrax thing.

17. Then she never would have fought Obama ...
... because the nomination would have been hers, walking away.
