What is the meaning of "is"?

Wyoming doesn't count because Hillary won Texas.

OK, she didn't actually win the most delegates. But she did win the popular vote.

OK, she only won the popular vote because Rush Limbaugh commanded his robots to pad her numbers. But Obama did fail to close the deal.

OK, Hillary still has to win every remaining state by margins she hasn't managed even once. But she's still ready to take that 3:00 AM call where she'll keep your children from being killed.

OK, so she did blow the single most important foreign policy vote in her Senate career. But George Bush tricked her by putting lies in the NIE.

OK, so she never actually read the NIE. But now she agrees that we shouldn't have invaded Iraq.

OK, so she's only saying that now because it's popular. But Obama promoted NAFTA back when it was popular and look at all the jobs that left Ohio.

OK, so it was actually Hillary who promoted NAFTA. But now she says she didn't, so that shouldn't count against her.

OK, so she's lying to avoid embarrassment. Isn't Obama lying about Rezko?

OK, so he's never been accused of anything with regards to Rezko that he could lie about. But doesn't Hillary's campaign bringing it up all the time make him look suspicious?

OK, so they're just trying to smear him. But isn't Obama trying to smear Hillary by challenging her to release her tax returns while people have a chance to vote on their judgment of them?

OK, so they challenged Rick Lazio to release his tax returns when they were running against him for the Senate. But transparency is important in judging a politican's ethics.

OK, so they still won't release the list of donors to the Clinton presidential libary. But how could you be concerned that the Clintons would sell White House access for money?

OK, so they did sell White House access for money with that Lincoln bedroom business. But they were broke from defending themselves against Ken Starr's right-wing smear machine!

OK, so they're worth more than $10,000,000 dollars now. But why should that make anyone suspicious enough to demand to see Hillary's tax returns?

OK, so they never did explain exactly how she earned that $100,000 in futures trading....


I didn't write the above and can't find out exactly who did in order to credit them, but it is good.
