Sorry but Hillary wasn't faced with "gotcha" questions..she did this to herself...

[ddeclue]

I simply do not buy into the excuse that Hillary was facing "gotcha" questions... They were simple yes or no questions and she would have done far better to simply answer them yes or no... but she just can't stop trying to take both sides of every argument.

It's just that Hillary is afraid to ever take a clear stand for fear of having to offend some voter some where.

Well guess what?? The 90's are over and people want politicians who are going to be clear as to what they believe - and Hillary can't seem to move past Bill Clinton-esque 1990's style triangulating... It's old, it's worn out and the voters just won't stand for it.

So whine all you like about "gotcha" questions but the fault is all Hillary's for not being able to simply say "Yes" or "No" to a yes or no question and then shutup and stop trying to qualify her answer and give herself weasel room.

Actually the most offensive double speak answer she gave in my opinion wasn't the Driver's license question but her weasely statement that she's opposed to the RUSH to war with Iran

Well I learned to diagram sentences in English class into subject verb and object and the object of that declaratory sentence by Hillary is that she is opposed to the RUSH, as opposed to a war with Iran.

So as long as it happens "slowly" apparently Hillary is still for a war with Iran...

She could not simply say "I am opposed to war with Iran".... It would have been simple and clear but she could not say it because she might offend some pro-war-with-Iran voter somewhere????

Give me a break...

She did it again with Social Security and yet again with driver's licenses trying to take two or more sides of an argument and holding none of them convincingly.

This is why Hillary's campaign is now imploding... It's not because she's "being picked on".

Ironically even this deflection/excuse tactic (aka "Politics of Pile On" for instance) is itself a case of trying to take both sides of the argument of "I'm tougher and smarter than the men up here on this stage" and at the same time "All these mean old men are picking on poor little defenseless old me..."

Well which is it Hillary? Are you ready for the big leagues and can handle the debate from six or seven other men (by the way Hillary got the most speaking time of any candidate in the debate) or do you want your opponents to stop picking on you because they're mean old men and you're a defenseless woman???? I'd certainly hope it's the former and not the latter..

Make up your mind Senator Clinton...I've made up mine...
