Only the GOP and anti-Hillary people on the left care about emails. The general public only care about making a living and feeding their families.

I am not sure it is important, but why do I remember the name Vince Foster-----not saying that accusation was true. Put down the guns!!



I am just saying that they are the masters of pounding in the same message

If someone is out to do me harm I will come up with effective strategies to counteract him or her. I won't go run and hide. That's pusillanimous behavior and DemocratSincebirth is no punk and I expect no less from my leaders.

"To the best of my knowledge" is not an effective defense in any court of law or forum of opinion.

Refusing to answer the question only breeds contempt as her unfavorability numbers show.

The GOP's intent is to turn off voters - not inspire them to vote. The lower the turn out the better the GOP fairs in an election

When the general election begins in earnest she will have one opponent in which she can sling the shit right back at. If you believe she's some kind of punching bag or pinata who will not fight back and defend herself there is nothing i can do to disabuse you of that notion.

going to be pretty tough to say "I have done nothing wrong" amid all the talking heads on the right

Most of all - this reminds me of John Edwards campaign

I will leave for now where I started and say living in fear is no way to live.

"A hero dies but once. A coward dies many times before his death."


In a war against the right I would literally bet my life on the Clintons.

The House can not file charges...That's ninth grade civics.



FreakinDJ, maybe you should stick to the mic. I never suggested to step blindly into the good night, that's for punks and DemocratSinceBirth is no punk nor does he support such

BTW, Romney destroyed all his e-mails as Massachusetts governor on the way out the door.

Point- 'Dirt' can be dug up on anybody.

which failed to uncover any wrongdoing.

The question is, is that any worse than "Self proclaimed Socialist"? I don't think any combination of Hillary issues will be as effective as that.
