You don't have to support HRC to "Stand With Planned Parenthood".

[Ken Burch]

Sanders and O'Malley are just as pro-choice as HRC, and so are their supporters. And I think I can say with full confidence that virtually everyone who backs any Dem candidate "Stands with PP".

1. I'm very pleased that Planned Parenthood stands with Hillary! It's a smart move!

They like Hillary better the same way that I like her better. Hillary's got my vote! <3

2. Me too... nt

11. Its political cronyism bs

They should not be endorsing a primary candidate, when all support the positions of PP. It demeans the organization and smacks of cronyism.

It us unfair to their members and donors who do not support her.

If they want to endorse,they should wait until the GE when there'll be a Republican who is against them and choice.

3. No you don't, but

PP endorsed the candidate who has worked the hardest and longest to support women's rights. Cudos to PP for this decision!

[Ken Burch]

4. She pretty much stopped working for women's rights when she helped form the DLC.

You can't care about empowering women and fight to kick the left out of the Democratic Party at the same time.

[MoonRiver]

5. That's your completely biased perception.

I obviously disagree that she has EVER stopped working for women's rights.

[kath]

6. Bingo!

Thanks Ken.

[MoonRiver]

10. I don't agree with your statement.

She has NEVER stopped working for women's rights.

9. They should have endorsed any candidate during primary season.

It was a slap in the face to two other candidates and they're supporters who have all been fighting for a woman's right to choose. I think it was a terrible decision. Why estrange people who completely support you. Should they have endorsed Bernie or O'Malley? No. They should endorse the Dems in the General and fight the rethugs tooth and nail. Don't forget, there was the time HRC called the PP sting videos "Disturbing."

15. You forgot the word "not" in your headline

[Ned_Devine]

7. I have so many people on my blocked list that I...

...can only imagine the responses this thread is getting. Honestly, it's so much better to imagine it than actually read them though.

[Amimnoch]

8. Very true, and respect for that.

Susan Sarandon endorsed Bernie today. I still adore her and her body of work.
Postal workers union. I do and will continue to support them.

Anyone who suddenly despises anyone or any group for endorsing Bernie, or for endorsing Hillary, or for endorsing O'Malley is a really pathetic excuse for a Democrat.

Democracy isn't about getting along with those you agree with. It's about getting alone with those you don't agree with.

[Armstead]

13. No it is not despising them

But disappointed in their decision to throw two other candidates who support them and their goals under the bus.

It's also a slap in the face to the supporters of tjose who support PP but not Clinton.

[YoungDemCA]

14. Good post.

And FWIW, even Republicans must be compromised with by any Democratic President. Note that I'm not saying that compromise with Republicans is a good thing. I am saying that it is inevitable.

[YoungDemCA]

12. The difference is that Hillary Clinton can win

Offering a sacrificial lamb to the GOP for the sake of some narrow fringe-left purity test would be foolish and myopic in the extreme.

[Ken Burch]

16. The polls show Bernie doing just as well or better than HRC against any Rethug you can name.

The "only HRC can win" meme has been totally discredited.

[winter is coming]

17. You'd better give Hillary a heads up about the fringe-left thing.

'Cause she keeps evolving to cover the positions Bernie's had for years. You know... the ones that poll well with a majority of Americans. There are so many people way over on the "fringe left" that I'm amazed the country doesn't tip over.
