If the roles were reversed, Clinton and the Clintonettes would be screaming bloody murder.
They would be telling us that Obama must be stopped. She has lost, and she's a sore loser. The "arguments" she makes for her candidacy are all based on distortions of the facts and she only need "arguments" because factually, she has lost the primaries. Her continuing quest is deceitful to voters, destructive of her own status and damaging to the Democratic Party.

Thank you for a stimulating and worthy discussion. It has always seemed to me that Libertarians deny the simple fact that humans live in society and government is the logical effort to organize the myriad of relations that grow out of this reality. Libertarianism is ultimately a form of romanticism in so far as it imagines that society ungoverned, people in a state of nature, would be happy, just, fair, humane and all good things. Of course, they would not. Humans in a state of nature are cruel, abusive, manipulative, etc. and we need government to protect us from each other.
