Tell me who you hate, and I'll tell you who you are - after fighting the Republican Slime Machine, the Clintons have become the same lying thing.
I have come to the conclusion that Hillary will do anything, no matter how intellectually dishonest, in order to get elected. I submit to the court "Evidence A," this clip of her at the debate last night calling Obama "Change you can Xerox." The crowd responded with angry boos.

In the clip, Obama calmly and logically defends himself against the plagiarism charges by the Hillary coterie. There were only two speech lines that were reused, and it turns out that the person he allegedly "stole" them from is one of Obama's top campaign advisers. That person gave the lines to Obama, since they both believe in the same ideas. How can Obama steal ideas from one of his top supporters, working to get him elected?
I just don't want four more years of spin and dishonesty, much less from my own party. We're Democrats for God's sake! We can't become the Republicans, defending phony positions without an ounce of truth to score a cheap political point.

Obama's performance was brilliant - he confronted the issue, told the facts (at issue are a couple lines in one speech, given to him by a friend and supporter to use in his speech), and then went on to call this "silly season" in politics, and talk about things we should be talking about (like credits for college). Brilliant.
And then Hillary kept on attacking.
And best of all, people saw right through it. She's done.

What is this, the locker room in junior high? This is the kind of petty drama I associate with daytime television. She needs to go.

And, yeah, Hillary came off as someone who'd just stepped out of a junior high school locker room.

And how's this for irony - the words he borrowed from his friend are words about the importance of words. He didn't take an idea and express it in his own words, and that's the diff between being original and being Xerox.
The good news is they got over it, and most of the debate was cordial.

If Obama can end the Iraq occupation, or get us universal health care, he can rip ALL his inspirational speeches straight from "Friday Night Lights," for I care.
