So, Hillary supports the "defense of marriage act"

Hmmm. Is this one of those dictionary entries to exemplify the definition of the word "ironic"? Those Clintons really do have nerve... sometimes.

I just remembered when it was that Bill 'lost me' - I was wavering after the cowardice displayed over Lani Guinier's nomination for AG, but the real pisser was "don't ask, don't tell." Clinton had the chance to take the moral high ground and put Congress in the position of having to do their own dirty work (even forcing them to override a veto if it came to that), but, no... rather than let politics/government work its way through a process in front of the citizenry, he handled the accomodating all on his own.

Clintons seem to be cowards when it comes to fighting for the tough issues in which they sometimes profess beliefs. Or else, they don't actually have any beliefs beyond an amazingly high faith in their own abilities to decide (on behalf of those of us who've had no better choices than they when faced with any ballot on which their names appear) just when to give up a fight.

Sure, I'd love to vote for a woman to be president, but my primary criterion is not a candidate's sex.

As my elderly mother keeps reminding me, there's no way this country will ever nominate/elect a Jew as president. Nevertheless, unless someone else (Gore is the only real alternative) steps up as a comparable man of honor, is there really anyone other than Russ Feingold who deserves to represent those of us who still believe in the potentials of honour and decency in an American, democratic republic?
