Clinton more equipped to take on the repugs.

[elixir2]

Obama hasn't been battle tested. The republicans will find many issues to kill him on, Hillary's been through this already.

[The Delegates]

1. The Repubs might find many small issues on Obama

But all they need to do with Hillary is play the wage garnishment clip and watch her fade away.

2. wrong

3. If he beats Clinton, he will have been plenty battle tested

4. If Clinton machine is so tough, why didn't they even try battling RoveBush the last 7yrs?

Their machine has been in place for over a decade and they can barely take on Obama who has stitched together a team in a little over a year.

Of course, the only practice TeamClinton has had the last 7 years has been their support for Bush against other Dems who came forward to oppose him.

Like Bill defending Bush during his 3wk summer2004 book tour:

Or when they joined Bush's smears against Kerry:

Or when they supported Scooter Libby. And Lieberman.

6. As far as I know, the last seven years weren't on Clintons' watch. Why should they need to take

them out?

What is it Stupid Crazy Addled Baseless Slurs night on DU? The Clintons' not only oppose Bush but support other efforts to undo his horrendous actions!!

[blm]

7. Clinton's been head of the Dem party as the last president since he left office.

Hillary was a Dem senator who sat on her hands while her MACHINE stayed quiet when any other Dem was under attack for opposing Bush.

The only addle-brained here are those who think it was OK for the Clinton machine, paid for by MANY OF US DEMS over the last 15 years, to sit back while RoveBush attacked relentlessly and TeamClinton only saw a fit to come out when BUSH NEEDED DEFENDING from the left in 2004. Or when Scooter Libby needed defending from the left. Or when Lieberman needed defending from the left.

Don't even TRY to snow us with EXCUSES why Clintons couldn't help return fire when so many Dem laemakers, Dem issues, and even our Dem nominee were under constant attack.

I paid into that machine over the years for it to operate against GOPs and Bushes.

Instead they were working to UNDERMINE Dems in their effort to protect Hillary2008 by protecting Bush.

And some people DID NOTICE in April2004:

And on election night:

And in 2006:

Don't even TRY your lame excuses for the Bush protecting Clintons. Not with those of us who KNOW better.

9. Obama is here on the eve of Super Tuesday in a position to possibly wrest

away the nomination from someone who, with her husband, has been building and oiling a mighty political machine for 30 years. I'll take my chances on the kid, thanks.
