For example, when Senator Clinton fell on her face at the last debate her machine began to claim sexism. Chris Matthews asked fair and firm questions she couldn't answer.

The reason is because most liberals (there are a few exceptions... notably a couple friends of mine) are not driven by facts and truths, but rather by an emotion-driven agenda.
Present them with the truth of Iraq for example: that things ARE getting better, that we are making progress, and troops will be able to start coming home soon. They'll either deny it or downplay it as political spin.
This can also be observed in their politicians. Just look at Hillary. Rather than being driven by facts and values, she's driven by polls, saying and doing whatever it takes to get elected... facts are irrelevant.
Bottom line: They can't stand the heat because they can't argue with facts using their emotional rhetoric.

If you're going to use an old cliche, you should say it right. This is a very broad statement that means nothing. I've yet to see a kitchen so hot that I couldn't stand the heat! Bring up an issue for debate, instead of just taking pot-shots at Democrats.

it really is the generic textual content for a important international faith and maximum Christians own more suitable than one Bible. As a important component to western lifestyle, it is also of interest to non-Christians. Being a great-enterprise does no longer mean it really is real. Fiction makes it onto the great-enterprise list each and each and every of the time.

like what exactly?
I've had my life threatened several times by Republicans on here that flip out...
I don't think I've ever threatened someone else's life though...
so apparently I hold up better than some of you guys?
EDIT: and why do republicans talk about facts... yet scream emotional cries about others being "traitors" and "terrorists" all the time... shouldn't they just use facts to prove their points?
EDIT2: Clinton took a hit, but she's not out... by a long shot... and all politicians spin taking hits anyway they can...how many cries about the "liberal media" have we heard from Republican candidates?

Huh? Give an example.
I'm a liberal and love to cook. I also can indeed by harsh in my criticism.
[ADDED] Thanks for your example. I completely disagree. Of course, HER machine took over - but did you happen to notice the other Democratic candidates on stage next to her? Happen to notice how Edwards and Obama and Dodd in particular took her on?
Or is that just an inconvenient truth for you?
BTW, it was Russert, not Matthews.

Because neocons deserve the criticism.

At least she is not accusing them of being Anti-American and aiding America's enemies

go ahead,,, wheres the heat...
i agree, we libs seem to be driven by emotions rather than simple math.
The problem with the simple math that cons use to calculate their arguments are propaganda written by the elite to confuse the people.
The elite side with the simpleminded majority by using their judgments and hatreds that fuel them. ie. gays, abortions and prayer in schools etc...
