Hillary at twilight

Was her campaign stop in an Ohio town called Hanging Rock a metaphor -- or a symbol of dogged defiance?

    @cecil and chhabili

    Ladies, you both tell me to read your posts carefully, yet both of you misunderstand or deliberately misstate the things I've said that you are now so tediously trying to answer.

    Iit is not true that I said chhabili gave no reasons for oppposing Clinton; I said precisely that that is ALL she gives us--no real reasons for supporting Obama, just negative reasons for opposing Clinton. You CAN read, right? Here; try again.

    "There are only negative reasons--reasons she has stated as to why she now hates Clinton."

    Further, I never say anywhere that she was once a strong Clinton supporter. You find it, and show me. It's not there.

    I said that she was a vehement and "unseemly" attacker of Obama who in a period of a day or two suddenly became a virulent attacker of Clinton instead. I read all the posts and see the earlier discomfort with Clinton, but in every one of them--up to 1/26--the point is that Obama is SO MUCH WORSE!

    It's easy to read accurately, my friends. It just takes a little care and a little time, before going off misinformed and making a fool of oneself over it.

    As to gratuitous advice, I have no idea what point you make by cut and pasting the very paragraph that I had obviously read or could not have attached the term to your present "advice."

    When chhabili ever gets around to actually telling us why she likes Obama and why all the things she said about him suddenly have become falsehoods, let me know. I can get all the Hillary-hate I need from the dozens of other posters here and elsewhere; none of it is new. What would be new is seeing you cut and paste some of your own remarkably mean claims about Senator Obama and an explanation as to why they no longer apply and why you now believe he is the best candidate. Anything positive at ALL you can say about your guy?
