    @ Ben Sen

    "Will they tell us what it is about her that makes them her hate her more than war, war, and more war? I know they'll deny misogyny because that's too politically incorrect."

    Have you lost it, brother? Do you not follow the news? She voted FOR the Iraq war. Hillary Clinton sided WITH George W. Bush on the most important foreign policy issue--and the most tragic foreign policy mistake--for America in over thirty years.

    "Is it her moral deficiency since she forgave her husband? Is it something else about her morals, or her campaign, or some other "political" gaff she committed--that McCain didn't that makes him more viable--even though he has clearly gotten into bed with the intolerant."

    While I admit that I personally do not approve of the fact that she continued a marriage of political convenience after her husband made a very public mockery of their marriage, no, that is not my reason for excoriating her.

    Hillary is PRO-war, period. Voting for her would be no different than voting for McCain, as regards this most crucial of issues.

    That is why I would sit out the election if she gets the nomination over Obama. There really is no other reason.
