Hillary can't take it..

The whole "Hillary's a fighter and can take whatever the Repubs can dish out" talking point seems more and more ridiculous with every passing day.

Here's a few peeks at what her "good friend" John and his Repub cohorts have in store for Mrs. Clinton:

•Hillary can't be a feminist because she didn't leave Bill after the Monica affair. She is obviously so power hungry that she'll ignore her own husband's infidelity to get elected. Extrapolate any personality flaws you care to from that.

•Hillary is a closet lesbian. Just what is personal aide Huma Abedin's job anyway? Stress relief specialist? Extrapolate any personality flaws you care to from that.

•Peter Paul vs. Clinton: nothing like trying to run a general election campaign while being sued for wrongfully taking $1.5 million in campaign donations. Extrapolate any professional flaws you care to from that.

•Mehmet Celebi, one of her "HillRaisers" produced a film called "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq" - a 2006 movie that depicted a Jewish doctor removing the vital organs of civilian prisoners to sell to wealthy transplant patients overseas. Why does Hillary hate the Jews? Extrapolate any professional flaws you care to from that while remembering that we're looking at a 10,000 vote Florida margin of error in the general.

•Whitewater, Travelgate, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, Mark Rich et al. Progressives may think these "scandals" are water under the bridge, but a majority of Repubs believe they are not and will be using them anew in the Fall.

•The Vince Foster "Murder", selling secrets to the Chinese, what Sandy Berger was shoving down his pants in the National Archives: Progressives may know these as distortions or outright lies, but a majority of Repubs believe they are true and will use them to turn out the base come November.

•Crying won't help. Calling the attacks "below the belt" or other "poor me" defenses will no longer work, because Repubs don't care and, honestly, they WANT to make her cry.

•There will be a 527 that will run a non-stop ad with Hillary comparing herself favorably to McCain this fall. That will be all it takes to reassure the soft 20%ers in the middle that a McCain presidency wouldn't be too bad.

Thats' what she's up against this fall. Sort of makes Rezko and "monster" look dumb, doesn't it?

Learn to read, ljwalker53

I don't endorse any of those assertions. I'm just telling you what's coming, based mostly on a quick check of right wing anti-Hillary websites. You have a problem with those guys, not me...

Just another reason...

...why it needs to be legalized.

C'mon people, after watching "Cat House", is there any doubt that prostitution will only degenerate the "moral fiber" of our country as long as otherwise upstanding members of society are needlessly harassed for feeding (at worst) a biological urge.

And for what? Keeping their marriage together? Better they go out and hook-up anonymously with someone or start an affair? You try to sleep with the same person for 30 years!

On second thought...
