The woman from Hope

Is Hillary Clinton giving a bad speech because she’s losing? Or does losing make it seem like she’s giving a bad speech? There’s a certain point at which the refusal to acknowledge reality stops coming across as admirably tough-minded and starts being cringe-inducing.

    “There’s a certain point at which the refusal to acknowledge reality stops coming across as admirably tough-minded and starts being cringe-inducing.”Hopefully the point at which the refusal to acknowledge reality stops coming across as admirably tough-minded comes sooner rather than later. Personally I consider willful ignorance and outright denial of obvious reality to be more symptomatic of weakness and cowardice than tough-mindedness. This is a general comment with broad application and is not specifically directed at Hillary Clinton. Au contraire, I know of a lot of other weak and cowardly people who obstinately refuse to acknowledge glaringly obvious reality.

    get ready for a lot more of the same, but a decisively more negative tone.Mark Penn is pushing for a cat fight, hard. Let’s hope Hillary is smarter then to keep listening to this fool.

    Clinton, a hypocrite, who ended the debate using stolen words taken directly from John Edwards also said only minutes earlier about Obama… “If your campaign is going to be about words, they should be your own words,” she said. “Lifting whole passages isn’t change you can believe in; it’s change you can Xerox.”Clinton thinks Americans are stupid.

    Americans can’t trust a hypocrite. Clinton ended the debate using stolen words taken directly from John Edwards also said only minutes earlier about Obama… “If your campaign is going to be about words, they should be your own words,” she said. “Lifting whole passages isn’t change you can believe in; it’s change you can Xerox.”Who is stupid, Americans or Clinton?Clinton is betting that Americans are.Clinton and Obama Debate * From Austin, TX * Tonight, 8 p.m. ET * CNN Election Center 2008
