You know the sad thing is these threads and BO campaign pushing this story is hurting BO more than HRC.  HRC is running on experience and 8 years of pease and prosparity and even thro her negatives are around 50% she still runs even with McCain. She can beat McCain with negatives of 50%.

BO on the other hand is running as change and a new direction or a new kind of candidate.  When BO, his campaign, and supporters go negative in such a manner as this (parsing a candidates words to attack them) it hurts the BO campaign and approval numbers more than HRC.  

And you can clearly see this in 1. his negative are now at 50% or over; and 2. he is not longer running ahead of McCain and in the rasmussen poll and HRC is running (mind you very slightly) better than BO.  And this is a real change from a month ago when BO was running much better against McCain than HRC.

To voters these parsing attacks on HRC look a lot like politics as usual and of course it is.  But when you run as some one above politics (BO) and voters see you doing politics as usual you look like a hypocrite and this is the biggest sin of all.

So let me make my point.  The more BO, his campaign, and BO supporters like yourself push this story the more it hurts BO and not HRC. And negaive attacks need to be really clear cut.  Like "God Damn America" not something is confusing as "Hillary's memorary".  So for me i hope you all push these stories more and more just dont look at any polls that will show BO numbers tanking as he does this.  The one thing we have seen is BO nor David Axelrod have any idea how to run a negative campaign.

Wow, how blind. HRC threw "the kitchen sink" of negative slurs, on patriotism, pastor speak, 3 AM, phony plagiarism charges and you think you are going the high road with your candidate.

Speaks of the absolute dedication to those who must see their own demographic elected.

Take this event as an opportunity to examine your own assumptions about your candidate and and entertain the notion that her "substantial experience" in foreign policy is not much more than a flight of her imagination.  Have the courage to infinitely re-examine your own side!

But HRC will do anything to win.  This is a meme that BO, his campaign, and his supporters like you have gone on and on and on about.  She is the candidate who wants to win and people who support her are ok with this.  Or she barely beats HRC even through her disapproval is 50%.

BO has pushed a narrative of i am above politics and if he is seen as just another politician that hurts him.  And pushing the hillary is a lier ends up hurting BO more than HRC.  That is what i am saying.  Please read again. Most of what you have written has nothing to do about what i wrote.

I dont need to "Have the courage to infinitely re-examine your own side!" since i am not addressing this issue.  What i am addressing is BO is hurting his campaign and apporval numbers by going negative more than he is hurting HRC.

David,

I don't deny that the Clintons are diabolical and set ingenious traps.  And you just described one.  Throw the kitchen sink at a candidate and if he goes slightly negative in response, then he is hurting his own candidacy!

All candidates want to win!  Only a few will do anything, including damaging the chances of their own party, for personal victory.  You may think that is admirable tenacity, I don't.

Put those values in the White House, and those we deal with in the world will be even less friendly than they are today.
