73. I take it then you support the neocon 'forever war everywhere and anywhere' policies AND you

oppose Whistle Blowing?

I agree you don't kow how to deal with Democrats' opposition to those policies.

That was my point. When Bush supporters couldn't respond to the opposition by Democrats tp those policies, Iraq at that time, they translated that opposion into the very lame: 'You love Saddam'

And when we supported Whistle Blowers like, at the time, Binney, Tice and Drake, they resorted to the old 'so you're a Drake fangirl' nonsense.

It's really sad that anyone on the Left would have to use old, not-very-clever-to-begin-with, talking points, a dozen years after they first launched them, certain of how clever they were.

At least if you want to personally attack me, could you do me a favor and do it more creatively and with something more up to-date, than those old worn out 'insults'? They had zero affect then, and even less now.

Or better yet, simply explain where Clinton stands on important issues.

I hope for her sake, this isn't going to be the way Hillary's campaign is going to be. Personally attacking anyone who asks a very relevant question about her stand on issues.
