of one track mind...

... as they keep calling clinton a liar.

they keep recycling stuff that the repubs fabricated & nit-picking on her bosnia misspeak as if it was the biggest lie they have ever encountered. about how she lied about her hospital story as a way to get sympathy. then they tried to pick apart the clinton's tax return looking for skeletons of some sort. all the while forgetting that the nation spent millions of dollars trying to dig up dirt on them and failed. they desparately look for things to blow out of proportion while ignoring that their own candidate lied about things that are possibly considerably worse...

1) how much money he took from his rezko pal - started with 80k, then 120k, then 250k
2) how he didn't know of his pastor's inflammatory rhetoric for 20years
3) lack of disclosure about his own tax records for more than just 1 year
4) how he claimed credit for pushing through legislation in the illinois legislature when it was someone else who fed him those legislations
5) how he is above negative campainging when his campaign is doing it indirectly
6) back tracking on his stance on getting troops out and his advisors contradicting them on national media
7) how he doesn't take money from lobbyists and pac's while employing former lobbyists and takes money from bundlers.
8) how he claims to be politics as usual but is all politics as usual?

there is one thing that is different about a clinton supporter versus an obama supporter. a clinton supporter does not put his/her candidate on a pedastal of perfection. we accept her for all her flaws and evaluate her for her accomplishments despite having do deal with the nasty politics in reality. there are no love goggles here, but only deeply rooted support for a candidate who have endured character assasination because she chose to stand up for the interests of those that need a champion.

politicians lie to get things done, so get over it. therefore the only fair way to evaluate one, is to look at their accomplishments and their track record.

obama isn't going to bring about new politics without lying, because it is not up to him to dictate. in fact, his track record shows that he's a plenty good liar too.

politics is what happens when individuals and groups look out for their self-interest. i hold no unrealistic expectations that bad people in the world will come to their senses and join hands with obama in the interest of being fairminded and moral. the fact that obama is selling you this koolaid, makes him one of the biggest liar out there. i am fine with his lying to get things done as a politician for the betterment of his constituency. it is his claiming to be a new brand of politics that irks me.
