I would like to echo the sentiment, that Democrats having been using the same lack of fact-based, name calling, arguments against Republican for years.
But there are a couple other interesting things from this article, I was hoping the author could clear up.
First, why is she unwilling to let the matter between she and her sister go?
“It occurs to me that my “family fight” somewhat mirrors the Democratic primary that the media has frequently characterized as a ‘family fight.’”
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but she says “mirrors” (still on going) as opposed to mirrored (over and done). Her sister lives in Maryland, which means she voted for Obama almost 3 months ago, on February 12th. I’ll assume her little sister isn’t a super delegate, so she can’t go back and change her vote. The author acknowledged her sister said she would vote for Clinton if she becomes the nominee. She why does the author continue to press the matter?
The other interesting thing in this article is the author‘s explanation for Clinton voting to authorize war with Iraq.
“ Me: Obama didn’t have to make that tough decision. He wasn’t in the Senate. He wasn’t representing the state of New York that had been devastated on 9/11. He just gave a speech at an anti-war rally in Chicago, in his very safe, very liberal state senate district. How much courage did that take?”
This raises two questions.
First, is the author suggesting Hillary voted to authorize going to war with Iraq, because she (either the author or Senator Clinton) believed Iraq was involved with 9/11?
Second, does the author believe Mrs. Clinton showed political courage when she decided to run for the Senate in a very safe, very liberal state she had never previously lived in, as opposed to facing voters in her home state of Arkansas?
