What I Feared. war starting between clinton/obama

[democratsin08]

i feel we need to get behind hillary and go for victory. i am afraid this fight is going to get very nasty. i like biden but we all must sacrifice now!!

[Connie_Corleone]

1. The fucking primaries haven't even happened yet!

You sacrifice!

[SharonRB]

2. Perfect excuse for Gore to enter the fray!

[democratsin08]

7. that could happen

if obama and hillary rip each other apart then gore may win the nomination. we cant get behind obama, he is making too many slip ups and is too far behind.

[janx]

9. Speak for yourself man.

:rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. So why shouldn't we get behind Obama and go for victory?

Better yet, why don't we wait for the primaries, when we can all go vote for the candidate we like the most?

Nuts to this "get behind Hillary" nonsense. I'll get behind whoever I want to get behind -- and right now, it's not Hillary.

[Myrina]

58. Well said, and thank you!

:applause:

[janx]

4. REALLY?

:rofl:

[Crunchy Frog]

18. I think I'll join you in that.

:rofl:

[Imagevision]

44. Obama is good, very impressive!

[janx]

47. Critical thought!

:hug:

[Olney Blue]

5. Sacrifice what? I'm still listening to ALL the Dem candidates right now.

[Der Blaue Engel]

6. You've come to this desperate conclusion in less than two weeks, huh?

Who wants to start the pool?

[democratsin08]

10. no

i am pragmatic. its clear biden cant win so we must all rally around mrs clinton. she sounded presidential last night.

[Donnachaidh]

17. *she* sounded presidential? to you perhaps

But not to the rest of us who won't be pushed into backing candidates. Jeez.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

20. Well, you've convinced me, a powerful argument, filled with the emotion and intellect for which

pragmatists are known.

8. You're cute.

Not subtle,mind you,but cute.

[janx]

11. This is the official start of the primary season.

When posts like this appear, we can all be reassured that the primary season has kicked off. :rofl:

[mnhtnbb]

12. Let Clinton/Obama beat each other up. Edwards will emerge as winner

[DavidDvorkin]

26. That would be fine with me.

[Colobo]

27. Look, as long as Obama is on our ticket, I don't mind him being Edwards VP

... or viceversa.

[sandnsea]

30. Edwards has been slinging mud too

Half the crap against Obama comes from Edwards supporters. Elizabeth is hitting at Hillary because her cancer makes it harder for Hillary to hit back. Don't think Edwards' tactics aren't noticed.

[Donnachaidh]

13. sacrifice and get behind hillary?

uhh ... no thank you. :rofl:

[Perky]

14. Oh Please that is a rash reaction to a story that will die with the next news cycle

I am not usre I agree with Obama on what he said....but He gets point for sticking to it and not rying to respins it. The in your face response to Hillary was really good. It is waaaaayyyy to early to be worried about this....

[pinto]

15. I think it's going to be an interesting primary season. We've a good field,

they're getting press for the most part, and we are itching for a Democratic White House.
As well as a bigger majority in Congress. All seem doable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. I thought this post looked kind of familiar.

Same lame remarks, and only last week: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3387091

Get behind Hillary. Sure. Screw the primaries; we don't need to actually VOTE. :sarcasm:

[Forkboy]

19. Like I said above,not very subtle.

:)

[billyoc]

21. Look, I don't like her either, but I must protest your call for

using her for a human sacrifice in the most strong terms!





:rofl:

[Colobo]

22. Sacrifice yourself. Don't tell us what to do.

If you wanna bend over to Hillary, do it.

[laugle]

43. Now....Now....stop picking on the newby! I for one,

would like to see a little fire come out of Obama, rather than him playing it safe. But than, I always thought he was running for VP.

Time will tell..........

[illinoisprogressive]

23. I stand by Obama. but, it won't blow up into anything much.

[aquart]

24. Frontrunners? Uh, yeah. They fight.

But why is that any reason to forego our right to vote and choose our own preferred candidate? So they slug it out. Big fucking deal. If they're too delicate for a primary, they ain't gonna make it in the general.

[karynnj]

25. That makes NO sense

I do think it makes sense for the Democrats to agree to all avoid the smears and slurs - debating issues and differences. But, I certainly do not think that we should subvert democracy by simply getting behind the candidate who was the obvious party and media favorite since Nov 2004.

The Clintons were the first to start slamming other candidates - to reward her with an uncontested primary seems to send all the wrong messages.

I do see the risk in the candidates damaging each other. I also think the Edwards have had their share of attacks. Who knows - if we hate all of them - we'll draft Gore.

[sarcasmo]

28. Why Hillary? She is bought and paid for.

[illinoisprogressive]

29. 2 Get Behind Hillary posts in one week. hmmmmmmmmmm

[Der Blaue Engel]

33. You'd think they could try harder

They're just no fun when it's this easy.

[jefferson_dem]

32. Not again.

Didn't you roll out this same "get behind Hillary" nonsense a couple days ago?

:eyes:

[GeorgeGist]

34. Welcome to DU ...

good to know whose side of you are on. No sacrifice is too small for Hillary.

[democratsin08]

38. i am on the side of democrats winning

we all must sacrifice.

[durrrty libby]

40. It is no sacrifice for me to support Hillary. I am happy to do it

:toast: :thumbsup: :hi:

[CK_John]

35. IMO, we need to worry more about war in Iran. n/t

[Sukie1941]

36. Nothing turns me off faster than a bitter battle

I am not spending too much emotional time over this election.

It is far too soon to make up my mind about who to vote for other than it will be a Democratic team!

We are going to turn off alot of voters (myself included) or potential voters with too much hype about everything so soon.

[democratsin08]

41. i agree

peole will be bored to death come next winter.

[emilyg]

37. They'll kiss and make up

Clinton-Obama welcome to DU

[thatsrightimirish]

39. I don't know if this is a call to get behind Hillary

or some type of weird Aztec sacrifice threat. Welcome to DU!

[Capn Sunshine]

42. What the hell?

That's a pretty convoluted message there pal. You've been spending a lot of time elsewhere I imagine.

[ShortnFiery]

45. No more Dynasties. We don't need any more Clintons in the WH ... EVER!!! nt

[zulchzulu]

46. Are lobotomies tax-deductable? Should I only listen to Celine Deon now?

Perhaps if I ate upside down and drove my car into the side of my house... maybe I should vomit on my next door neighbor the next time I see them... should I stick needles in my eyes?

That's what "we need to get behind hillary and go for victory" means to me.

:crazy:

[janx]

48. I-POD.

It's the only way to go. I actually walk into the classroom at a good university wearing one, the same as my students do--only I make a point of turning off my electronic devices--my I-POD and my cell phone--at the start of class. This (I hope) reminds my students to do so. (Actually, if they don't, they're toast.) I don't do so to seem cool; I do so because I love music.

P.S. I beat Halo years ago.

[TheOtherMaven]

49. Nuts to that

I wanted Edwards for President in 2004, I want it even more in 2008. I don't want Bill Clinton sneaking back into the White House behind Hillary's skirts (isn't this one of the dirty little secrets behind the Hillary bandwagon?), and I think Obama could use more seasoning. Maybe an Edwards-Obama ticket in '08 - if the elections are even held.

I would like to see A woman President - but not THIS woman. Not with all the baggage she's carrying. Not when it has "Lurleen Wallace Maneuver" written all over it.

[janx]

52. "behind Hillary's skirts"

Lovely.:rofl:

[BringBigDogBack]

50. How conveient for you....

Seriously. This post is fucking hilarious.

[BringBigDogBack]

51. oh and by the way, we don't have to sacrifice anything now.

That's what primaries are for. And just so you know, even in the unlikely even that Hill wins the nod, we all won't be aligning with her, nor supporting her in her power grab.

I've sacrificed plenty.

[sueh]

53. If you can't stand the heat...

you're going to have a hard time in here once primary season really gets going. Just vote for the candidate of your choice in the primary and I will vote for my candidate of choice.

Here's a spoiler, though. If Gore doesn't get in, I'm voting for Dennis Kucinich.

[calteacherguy]

54. Please capitalize. Why do you like Biden? nt

[democratsin08]

57. good

he has the best grasp of foreign policy by far

[monmouth]

55. Exaggerate much????

[LWolf]

56. I take a different view.

It does look like a nasty war. Let them go for it. In the best case scenario, they'll damage each other so badly that neither can be a viable candidate, and we'll get someone better on the ticket in the general election.

:popcorn:
