[SaveElmer]

1. Good for her - this should give her the confidence that she isn't showing at this point.

By having her team out attacking all the others BEFORE they even have a chance to debate is just so....Tonya Hardingish, don't you think?

Come on Hillary - just have the debate with ALL the players - isn't this why you've kept all that high-powered powder of yours dry for 6 years?

[paulk]

2. you mean like you attack every Democrat

except John Kerry?

take a look in the mirror....

[blm]

7. No, I don't. You only see me attack BACK. Like the Gadsden flag warns Don't Tread on Me.

Had Carville, McAuliffe and Co and Hillary herself, not gone after Kerry, even with Bush's lies, then I would never have said a word.

And if Bill Clinton hadn't insulted us in his book by insisting he didn't pursue outstanding matters in IranContra and other crimes of office because he wanted Poppy Bush to have a 'peaceful retirement" then none of this would be necessary, would it?

And for the record, you never see me attack an anti-corruption or open government Democrat. I do point out those Democrats who HELP corrupt Republicans to cover their crimes of office.

Why should that bother ANY American citizen concerned with honest governance?

[paulk]

8. No.

You've been going after every other Democrat running.

I hope to God you aren't working for the Kerry campaign, because you are doing more damage to him than any other poster on this board.

10. i think that you are talking to Jeff Gilooly. nt.

[blm]

13. No, I haven't. I go after anyone not interested in investigation of corruption.

And you know me long enough, paulk to know that I have been consistent about that. And also know me long enough here to know I never worked for a campaign. Volunteering around election time at Dem HQ is the limit.

You and I both used to defend Clintons together, I stopped after reading his book, paulk. Except for outlandish lies by RW media that attacked him falsely where I would jump in, I just won't do it anymore. The realization of how Bush2 should NEVER have happened was too great for me.

You stick to defending ALL Democrats, paulk, I know you're sincere about it. I will stick to defending anti-corruption, open government Democrats and pointing to those who let the Republican corruption remain out of the public eye, because that is my earnest call.

And I care little for popularity. Show me a truth and show me a lie, and I will side with the truth. That is the bottom line.

9. true dat. nt.

3. Well if you are referring to Mark Penn's comments...

I don't really view that as an attack...is there anything else you are referring to?

4. Dukakis led Bush in 88 as well, and we know how bad he lost.

5. One guarantee I will make...

Is that there is no way Hillary CLinton would let the Republicans walk all over her the way Dukakis did...

She has proven that time and time again!

6. Maybe I have internalized anti-hillaryaphobia?

11. I still hope the Dem primaries are robust. Will make the GOP patronization

of the population look weak.

12. Hill will be takin' names and kickin' ass until election day. Doing it her way.
