Reply #87: You have it wrong

I'm not sure you're saying this to start a flame war or just to shake things up a bit.

This is how I see it. For my part, I do not like Senator Clinton anymore. I wasn't faking anything, in fact if you want the truth I'm a lousy poker player and I can't lie without looking so guilty that everyone knows it.

It wasn't fake outrage it was unbelief and utter dismay. Some of us are so disappointed over how she has run her campaign that - that was the last straw. I cried because it was a horrendous thing to allude to, tired or not. Had Senator Obama said something like that it would have been over for him and I would have had to rethink him as a candidate. Everyone makes mistakes; I know from personal experience, but not so often that it becomes obvious what people are really made of.

George Bush campaigned along the same lines as Hillary Clinton, he screwed McCain so hard that I started to hate bush. I give people plenty of room to make mistakes and as long as someone isn't deliberately mean, I'll let them off the hook. She went too far and yes you are right Senator Obama could have used the same tactics she did and forced her out of the race. (Remember in Ohio, the "fake" outrage Clinton spewed over NAFTA?) She was even lying and she pulled a horribly hypocritical stunt in order to put him out of business. I know what you all said though, it's just politics. So maybe you you and Senator Clinton should start to see just how lucky she is that he hasn't exploited her errors the way she has exploited him.

Anyway, no it isn't fake outrage, for my part, it's as real as it gets.
