If you don't like my candidate, fuck you

[hootinholler]

You're probably a Naderite or closeted infiltrator or some other shriveled nasty excuse for a hateful thing.

Besides it doesn't matter my candidate will win just to piss you off.



Fucking. Comedy. Gold.

[Autumn]

1. Good thing that we can vote for whom we chose.

[L0oniX]

87. +1

[darkangel218]

2. Im still LMAO!!

literally!

[VanillaRhapsody]

3. Except for the fact that one side has the support of the VAST majority of the Democratic party!

and one doesn't

[MoonRiver]

4. Except in the silly and totally irrelevant DU bubble!

[VanillaRhapsody]

14. I know right...they think they "represent"

[MoonRiver]

18. Riiiiight, (pun intended, not sure)

[marym625]

79. +1000

[MoonRiver]

82. So, I'm not sure you got my point.

But I tend to be a little obtuse.

[marym625]

84. nope. got it.

Thinking it's the other way around. Just thought it was perfect for this OP.

[djean111]

5. Then why the hilariously assiduous repetition?

Bwahahaha!

[misterhighwasted]

7. and that is the bitter pill. "bitter"

[darkangel218]

8. "she is just walking away with because WE Democrats WANT HER!!!

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. Are you denying it? Because you shouldn't

http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination


it just makes you look silly!

[darkangel218]

21. Get back to me when the debates start!

[VanillaRhapsody]

22. Do you think she has a problem debating?

Uh you don't know her very well at all do you?

(you do know she has a law degree right?)

and her chances of winning the Primary have been consistently over 75% for quite some time now...long before she announced.....so....keep dreaming.

[darkangel218]

23. LMAO!!!

[VanillaRhapsody]

31. and I will laugh all the way to the polling booth too!

[AgingAmerican]

54. Yes, she does

That is what killed her in 08. She went full negative. She handed Obama the election with her endless attacks. All he had to do was shake his head and look at her like she was crazy.

If she does it again, she loses. We aren't Republicans, we don't vote in snarky, negative Democratic presidents.

[yallerdawg]

66. What killed her in '08?

She was snarky and negative?

I do not remember it that way.

I remember Obama-change-no more war-Yes We Can-blindsided-need a job, Hillary?

[AgingAmerican]

74. Ironically

I thought then, and still do now, that she would have done a better job than Obama.

I believe she would have stood up to the GOP, rather than join them like Obama did.

[yallerdawg]

77. I'm aging, too...

but my memory remains intact!

Obama joined the GOP?

Have you forgotten the last 6 years and counting?

[AgingAmerican]

80. Grand bargains

...stuff like that. One sided, 'Bi-partisanship'. Giving 'Teh Boner' '95% of what he wanted' for nothing in return. Extending ruinous tax cuts to impress them. All that sort of rot.

I do not believe Hillary would have taken that road with them.

Go Bernie!!

[BeanMusical]

83. "She went full negative"

That's one of the reasons why I switched to Obama back then.

[AgingAmerican]

86. Yeah, I think a lot of folks did

It won him the primary for sure.

[betterdemsonly]

13. Things change. Particularly when she has a challenger

starts opening her mouth and people are forced to look at her actual history and views. She has 3 of them. Sanders, Webb and O'Malley. Each more liberal than her on economic policy to a last person.

Her advantage over last time is that Obama's team players have revealed themselves Clintonistas at heart, and are adopting the uniform. Her disadvantage is that these people are are urban elitist snobs that turn off the Appalachian southern democrats she did well with last time. Webb should pick up those people.

[VanillaRhapsody]

16. Oh really?

http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination

Good luck with that...

[VanillaRhapsody]

17. and you act as if Democrats have never heard of Hillary before

[betterdemsonly]

24. America is notoriously Amnesiac but the campaign will be a long one

memories of her IWR will revive, particularly given her continued neocon hawkishness and tendency to make messes in Libya, and Syria.

[VanillaRhapsody]

25. Not so amnesiac that they have forgotten who Hillary Clinton is....obviously...she has held this

level of support for over a year already!

[betterdemsonly]

29. So what if she has held for a year already

Nobody is focusing yet and the unfortunate reality is she has done some unpopular things.

[VanillaRhapsody]

33. so what????

are you now discounting the opinions of the entire party?

[betterdemsonly]

36. The only poll that counts is the poll on primary day.

That is the only one to be respected. She has not been compared to the other challengers yet.

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. you keep telling yourself that.....whatever gets you through the night..

and the entire Democratic Party are completely ignorant of the other "potentials".....BULLSHIT!

[betterdemsonly]

43. well you keep fantasizing most primary voters

are well aquainted with the other candidates yet. also keep fantasizing that if you pull things off you small clique of of jr urban league volunteers are enough to win a general election, without needing outside voters. I am sure Grimes, Burke, Davis and Nunn thought so too.

[VanillaRhapsody]

44. I don't HAVE to fantasize....i have numbers to back it up...

http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination

[betterdemsonly]

47. Predictions on elections aren't hard science and never were.

Particularly this early on.

[VanillaRhapsody]

48. Yeah that is what I would say too if my candidates numbers were THAT low!

HRC's numbers have been that high for over a year.....

Pretending Democrats are just all ignorant is no way to go through life...

[betterdemsonly]

51. I am not pretending they are ignorant

your pretending I said they were. Hillary started out in life with no supporters too. Guess people were just ignorant.

[rhett o rick]

61. Gloat while you can, you do have all the big money on your side, but

the people will prevail.

The Populist Movement is growing much to the consternation of the Oligarchs and their bought and paid for political lackeys.

The Progressive Wing supports the 99% while the Conservative Wing supports the 1%.

[Quackers]

76. Don't expect a response

Someone's on break.

[morningfog]

91. Thank jurors!

One note thread jacking nonsense.

[VanillaRhapsody]

41. Oh nobody...righttttt......you keep telling yourself that the 77% vs the ENTIRE rest of the field

combined....are just ignorant!

[awoke_in_2003]

58. She did in 08, too

How'd that work out for her?

[Thinkingabout]

81. You need to do some background checking on Webb and O'Malley. They are both rated as

Moderate Liberal, Hillary is rated as a Hard Core Liberal.

They can run but they can't hide from their record. I would be glad to see competition in the DNC but facts should be just that, facts.

[LWolf]

28. What are these "sides" you refer to?

[VanillaRhapsody]

40. The side that supports the Democratic Parties decision...and the side that doesn't

the 77% that support HRC and the 23% that doesn't....those "sides"

[LWolf]

50. I see. Democrats

who want an actual Democratic Primary, who want to support a Democrat other than HRC, are those who don't support the "Democratic Party's decision," because who needs primaries?

[cui bono]

62. How many Democratic Parties are there?

That may explain all the fighting on DU! We should make sure all the different parties get their own names!!!

[morningfog]

92. Look at the calendar. No decisions have been made.

53. Then why all the hand wringing?

And wiggling and squirming in agony if your candidate is such a total lock? I don't get it. Is it just thin skin?

We have the right to like, dislike, or prefer any Democratic candidate we want, for any reason we see fit.

Some dare call it Democracy.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

60. I don't vote based on polls.

[morningfog]

90. Uh, that changes nothing about the OP.

Or "one sides" obnoxious and infantile behavior.

[NYC_SKP]

6. Hitler didn't like Nader. Why do you hate Hitler?

H8-ur!



(as a host of the big forums, I recuse myself from expressing an opinion as regards the appropriateness of this OP to this forum)

[hootinholler]

10. I'm merely presenting a formula

Observed on the intertubes, not wholly contained by any individual forum large or small.

[marym625]

12. ha!

[marym625]

11. so you were reading replies

To my post. And her post. And his post. And every other person who questioned anything.

I actually received almost exactly that response today. Perfect!

[JaneyVee]

19. Who said that, or is this another strawman op?

[Octafish]

20. It's not like there's enough money to go around.

My friend, the investment advisor, says you wouldn't believe what all the rich clients say to him after the market goes down a tic. The ones with Trust Funds are sore worried about not having money, they can't think of a new way of replenishing their supply.

I ask him to tell them, "You should try living without any money at all." He looks at me like I Ted Nugent undressing for the draft board.

[merrily]

26. I don't know what to say about either thread.

But I like laughing.

[hootinholler]

38. Me too!

Laughing makes me feel all floaty and stuffs.

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. I don't need you to like my candidate....the vast majority of my fellow Democrats do!

[betterdemsonly]

32. Until they are introduced to candidates they like better. n/t

[VanillaRhapsody]

34. Introduced????

you think Bernie can dig out of that 77 to 0.1 hole by being "introduced"



http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination

[betterdemsonly]

39. Yes, as can O'Malley or Webb

All three are preferable in my view.

[VanillaRhapsody]

42. Have you seen O'Malley's numbers?

5.7% or Webb's .1% to Hillary's 77.5%!!!

http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2016DemNomination

Good Luck with that...

[betterdemsonly]

45. This is early in the campaign so what prtedictawise says matters little

Voters don't know all the candidates yet but we have a 16 month window. I am undecided anybody but Hillary at this point.

[VanillaRhapsody]

46. Yes they do....damn you still think Democrats are just ignorant? Thats your stance???

We appreciate your "high regard" for us Democrats!

[betterdemsonly]

49. Not ignorant, but not committed or decided yet.

I am a democrat too and you do not speak for me.

[hrmjustin]

35. I haven't gotten paid by Hillary yet so I don't ask you to like her.

Just to vote for her if she is the nominee.

[Koch Ebola]

55. Vote for anybody you want

In the primaries....In the general elections? You are on your own

[clg311]

56. Only an idiot would cite polls a year before the election.

GHWB was considered unbeatable in 1991 and many leading democrats did not run; paving the way for Clinton, the drug war, expansion of NATO, (breaking the promise to Gorbachev not to expand) repeal of Glass Steagle, NAFTA, increase in prison population and other neo-liberal thuggery that his wife will continue.

[99Forever]

57. K&R

('cuz it needles all of the right people)

[whereisjustice]

59. More like, "If you don't like the choice Wall Street made for us..."

Fuck you. Start your own investment bank.

[Initech]

63. I've got the popcorn and the beer ready!

[stillwaiting]

64. There are 63 posts in this thread and I see maybe 20 posts.

And I only have a handful of posters on ignore.

Someone is pissed off at this thread I gather.

[hootinholler]

68. I suspect there is one who is even more pissed at this thread

I'm afraid I can't laugh about that one's vacation even if it is their own fault.

[Autumn]

69. Looks like you have everyone on ignore except for one poster.

[stillwaiting]

71. Hey Now!

I see 15 unique and different posters prior to my post!

I really do only have 6 or 7 people on ignore. I don't put people on ignore for having a different opinion that's for sure!

They have to not offer anything that I consider valuable insight for quite sometime CONSISTENTLY to get there (3 posters). Or be overtly hostile to me (2 posters). Or call me a racist (2 posters).

I just ain't got no time for that!

[stillwaiting]

73. Oh mah werd.

2 of my 7 on ignore are on temporary vacation too.

Someone really is busy in this thread...

[Oilwellian]

88. It's all vanilla stuff

: :

[QC]

93. Vanilla wafers and graham crackers are strangely similar.

Ever notice that?

[delrem]

70. Oh, a couple of posters decided to demonstrate the OPs meaning, is all.

Quite a hoot!

[edgineered]

65. My friends are very excited about this.

We have pooled $52 between us.

Soon we will be joining the 1% though. Our plan?

There are 8 races at the dog track today, and we are risking everything, the whole $52 on the favorite in the 1st. Even at a mere 2/1 odds we'll have $104.

repeat, repeat...

By late this afternoon we'll have over $53 trillion!

It's nothing but sure bets for us anymore!

Oops, wrong key, $6,656, so it's gonna take a few days longer, but you get the point!

[canoeist52]

67. You don't have to like this car - just buy it!

Never mind kicking the tires or checking under the hood. Now there's a sales plan!

It's almost as if they're deliberately trying to lose.

[whereisjustice]

72. Just elect her... we'll fix her later... ahahahahahahahahahahah

[Buns_of_Fire]

75. Oh yeah? Well, when MY candidate passes gas

they leave behind the pleasing scent of a mountain meadow covered in clover after a spring shower!

(Something like that. We're still trying to work it in to a campaign commercial if the parole board decides in our favor and My Candidate is allowed leave the state.)

So there!

[marym625]

78. I finally saw what caused your post

You're right. Comedy gold!

[daredtowork]

85. You left out freeper "vermin"!

[hootinholler]

94. I haven't heard ratfucker in a while

So I left that out too.

[Faux pas]

89. How liberally

tolerant of you.
