    Why?

    Why is it that every single time it turns out that Hillary lied or made some indefensible vote (such as the Iraq authorization, the PATRIOT Act, the bankrupcty bill, or the Iran "terrorist" vote) Hillary supporters ALWAYS come back with an attack on Obama?

    Why is that the only way they ever try to defend their candidate? I'd really like to know. As a life-long Democrat, it bothers the hell out of me that I've been in the same party with people who are perfectly happy to mindlessly throw feces at their enemy rather than respond substantively. I thought Democrats were supposed to be the smart and honorable ones!
