It shows how one can agree that Clinton is better than Bush (and, by extension, any prominent Republican) and yet still find plenty of grounds for criticizing her.

I'm really tired of how some of her supporters treat any criticism as coming direct from RNC oppo researchers.

On our side, I'm also tired of the people who make legitimate criticisms of the Democratic Party but then go way beyond that to say that there's no difference between the two major parties.

This chart says "Phooey" to both sets of hypercaffeinated advocates.
