Don't mind him, Razzy. He's just upset he didn't get his Big Benghazigate Cover-up Conspiracy surprise today in the hearings.

Clinton is toast in 2016.

I doubt she'll run.

Not now anyway.  LOL #whatdifferencedoesitmake

QuoteRepublican antipathy toward Clinton has declined significantly in recent years. As recently as April 2008, 84 percent of Republicans said they had unfavorable views of the then-candidate for president. At the time, that number included 70 percent of Republicans who held "strongly unfavorable" impressions. Now, fewer than half that number — 32 percent — have intensely negative views.

That's only because they've had the one thing worse than a Clinton to keep their attention by driving them bonkers: a black guy.

Kinda like how Clarence Thomas drives you bonkers?

:hmm:

By April '08, Obama had already crushed Hillary in many states. He was already a credible threat for the presidency by then.

He'll be outnumbered by 2016, so no fuss no muss.

I think Seedy is partly right, though of course for the wrong reason.  Many on the right saw Hillary as the lesser of two evils.  I gave money to her campaign & Ed switched parties to vote for her.  I think that sentiment fermented a bit even after the primary.

Along with that, in her time as Secretary of State she tended not to spout much partisan rhetoric, which helped to soften her image.

My point was that there was still a lot of animus towards Hillary during this time when you were donating to her campaign (aka Obama was viewed as a credible "evil").

That is true.

SoS usually tries to stay above the partisan fray (usually), and she's been a good soldier in supporting and pursuing Administration policy.

Also she apparently has refrained from killing the White house lawyers this time.  I think she deserves credit for that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Managed to score 1000 rounds of this stuff.  Now I won't need that Russian steel-cased stuff I bought a couple weeks ago.

My Uncle Terry reloads his own.   :D  Seriously, I left all my firearms in Oregon with my Dad - so I only go shooting when I am back with the gang.  We have an Italian Air Force WWII 6.5mm (I believe from the stamps on the stock that it was for airbase security guys) and now that it's back from the gunsmith, I'd like to take it out and do some plinking.

Only dropped once
:lol:  Near as I can tell, it was in pretty good shape.  We got it from a friend of the family, a WWII vet who left his gun collection to my grandpa when he passed away - now that Dad is custodian of the 'arsenal' - he's been on a kick to send EVERYTHING to the gunsmith and have it all safe to fire.  He's afraid of passing along unsafe guns to anybody, and I concur.  However, it's a bit annoying that he won't let me chip in with this - he's taken it on as 'his' project and won't take any $$$ from me or by Bro-in-law.   :mad:
