stated with great vehemence, a situational sort of thing. Those of you who thought Hillary and Obama were extremely different choices and wailed about her being racist and every other thing don't really have much to offer others. You will say things, awful things, out of expediency and agenda about a person whom you'd later entrust with our nation's highest office and you think that is a positive trait?
Here is you, back then:
"If George Wallace would have made the same remarks to USA Today.....

...we Democrats would've been in an uproar.

That it came from Hillary Clinton is astounding.

It was vulgar. It was something NO Democratic politician should ever think, let alone say.

Even during his "southern strategy", Richard Nixon would not have been as blunt.

Hillary's raw ambition has turned her into something very ugly inside. She has literally, before our eyes, become a bad person.

Disgusting.

If Obama shows the poor judgement of adding her to the ticket, then he is not the man I thought he was ... and I will have serious problems voting for him in that case.

Strong words, but now? She's your favorite. Wow.
