@ David Blixt & DoloresFlower: Then Let's Keep It Real
David Blixt:
Referring to me as "your ilk" shows an immediate disdain for Clinton supporters. I have never called Obama's followers "delusional" or any of the so-called negative names you infer in your "ilk" comment.
If you're going to be real, then acknowledge that there is a huge difference between bills that Obama has sponsored and/or cosponsored and bills that have actually survived beyond their introduction. I have never said Clinton introduced 8xxx or 5xxx bills. I have noted elsewhere that she has 22 U.S. Senate bills to her credit in the eight years of her tenure there and that she is ranked 9th out of 100 by Congress.org for her legislative accomplishments, for her leadership, and for her ability to get things done.
RE: Obama's State Senate history. My comments regarding his "taking a powder" come from his own State Senate colleagues. And the "dilettante" comments come from his own U.S. Senate colleagues.

DoloresFlower:
You can't have it both ways: you can't smear Sen. Clinton in one breath and in the next talk about her record of accomplishments, etc.. That is just another lowball way of "sticking it to her."
If you want to laud Sen. Obama's record, fine. I have no problem with that. But as long as you and others in Obama's camp continue to drag Clinton down, don't expect Clinton supporters to sit back and take it. It gets tiresome coming to this site and elsewhere to read the same vitriol and drivel about her.
And if you will recall (since we have been through this before), I do not engage in smears about Sen. Obama. What I put forward is written information about him, from written records about his campaign, his associates, his political record(s)/history.
