[democratsin08]

130. well if you really support Biden

and willing to not get in line for defeat in the general election (HRC)

Then Donate to Joe Biden today. Help get the word out. He is simply the best Choice for ALL of America..

3. Silliest post of the day so far!

[iconocrastic]

73. I saw another that was worse, but not by much. n/t

[papau]

4. LOL - excellent flame bait! - I believe we will unite after the primaries - and not a minute before

:-) n/t

[rodeodance]

6. right ON

[bahrbearian]

5. Are the Primaries over?

Should we roll over a play dead?

[dugggy]

91. Yes, Opponents to HRC are on life support

and the HRC bandwagon gets bigger each passing day!
GO HILLARY!!!

[fujiyama]

94. It's a bandwagon alright

and like most bandwagons, it will likely veer off coarse and fall apart once it's proven how poor a candidate she is.

[bahrbearian]

111. Why endorse a Canidate that can't win the General Election?

[Froward69]

132. BLAH!!!

lemmings over a cliff you are. I refuse to blindly follow.

[rpannier]

7. Sorry....I was for Edwards in 04 and I am again in 08

And I'm more supportive of Ogama and Dodd over HRC.
It's September 07. I'm not calling it quits before it's even started.

[democratsin08]

8. we must join hands and unite

lets not get into vicious attacks. i am afraid obama and edwards will be attack dogs and divide the party. hillary clinton is above petty politics and she wants to bring us together.

[BobRossi]

11. "Above petty politics"?

Have another sip of that kool-aid.

[rpannier]

15. You have now convinced me that your post is a joke

A toungue-in-cheek kind of thing.

The "join hands and unite" tipped your hand.

I literally did. going through some difficult times healthwise and needed a good belly laugh . Thanks

[Froward69]

134. SHE is the most Devisive of them ALL!!!

[BobRossi]

9. "Thank you sir may I have another one?"

Nah, let's not keep shooting ourselves in the head.

[billybob537]

10. Why don't we all

just let you deciede who gets to be president. That would be simpler!

[democratsin08]

13. if it were up to me

biden would be president but i have put aside my desires for the good of the nation. sen clinton does not engage in the hate filled attacks of obama or edwards. well actually they are wimped out and they send out thier wives to attack. we must unite and support hillary clinton now.

[JTFrog]

23. Oooo, that's sounds mighty uniting there:

sen clinton does not engage in the hate filled attacks of obama or edwards. well actually they are wimped out and they send out thier wives to attack.

Even with your avatar, it was a nice try, but surely not buying it from you.

[Adelante]

25. What "hate filled attacks" has Obama engaged in?

Please cite them including links. Thank you.

[ariesgem]

59. Sure, if you say so democratsin08. They'll be no more Obama for me......

:rofl::crazy:

[demommom]

116. Well, I am sticking with my preference until he decides it's over for him

I will then support whoever he supports unless it is Hillary.
I do not think I can vote for someone who announces a position and then when it receives a lot of negative noise,comes out with " oh, no, we were just floating it, it was never a serious idea." They called Bill "Slick Willy", well imo she is "Slicker Hillary". I'm sorry, call it bashing if you must, but it is how I feel.

[Moochy]

129. this cements the biden supporters position, toward Clinton

Consensus reached.. now all rational Biden supporters shall now be endorsing Hilary. KthxBye!

[zabet]

12. Ooookaaaay...

Being as you must know more than everyone else who
post on DU. Your future telling abilities astound me
since you seem to be sure Hillary will win the primaries.

Oh great Oracle, please answer this query?

Will I REALLY save money by switching to Geico?
:rofl:

[democratsin08]

14. this is what i mean

we attack each other instead of uniting. i have put aside my petty differences and want to join hands with everyone. i dont believe in attacks. obama and edwards are dividers and mean spirited.

[luckyleftyme2]

20. haven't we learned?

you can push your preference without slamming someone Else's. to post hatred only
divides.
I feel we have several great candidates,and any will make a fine vice president.
so keep it positive,and who ever wins the nomination lets support 110%.
until then show positive points for your candidate!

[Imagine My Surprise]

22. You don't believe in attacks?

I'm sure you are sincere, but you are a perfect example of how to maintain the status quo. She gave Bush EVERYTHING he wanted. Hello!?

[JTFrog]

24. And this was said with the

nicest of intentions right? You have put aside your petty differences and want to join hands? No thanks... not even if you claim to have washed them first.

sen clinton does not engage in the hate filled attacks of obama or edwards. well actually they are wimped out and they send out thier wives to attack.

[trumad]

27. Concern--- uh what's the other word....

starts with a T.

[Adelante]

32. "dividers and mean spirited"

Are you going to post examples to back up your charges or do we just take your word for it?

[cali]

39. Way to go there sparky!

You've really put aside your "petty differences" with your comment that Obama and Edwards are dividers and mean spirited.

Could you possibly make a stupider more contradictory statement?

[Crunchy Frog]

55. "i dont believe in attacks. obama and edwards are dividers and mean spirited."

:rofl:

[mcscajun]

67. Sigline pic Too Tall.

I applaud the sentiment but... :thumbsdown:

[rpannier]

16. Yes it will

And with sprint you'll save 17 cents a months over the more dependable providers.

Oh and the lotto numbers are 1-7-44-15-35-9

[monmouth]

18. Not in my lifetime.....

[NoPasaran]

21. Let's not

I enjoy primary season too much (the real sport, not the petty bickering on DU.) Of course, I hope and expect we all will unite behind the eventual nominee. But until then... play ball!

[glowing]

26. Um... my primary hasn't happened yet... and I don't think its over.

Besides. voting for HRC would be like voting for Gouhliani to me.

[ileus]

28. We're all with you 100%, it's just some don't know it yet.

[iamjoy]

29. Let's Wait For The Iowa Caucus

and then whoever wins, let's all just vote for that person. Why do we need to make up our own minds when Iowa does it for us? Let's just cancel all the primaries and go with whomever Iowa picks.

[abq e streeter]

36. I said virtually the same

thing a few days ago. You're absolutely right. Think of all the time and money we could save. Hell, narrow it down further and just have one small Iowa focus group do it. Come to think of, maybe even that's excessive. Just have Tim Russert, Tweety and a couple of the other boys get together for drinks in one of em's living room and then decide who it'll be, and they can announce it to us the next day.

[Systematic Chaos]

30. I'll support Hillary

the day she resigns and gives her endorsement to Edwards or Kucinich. Until then I'll keep praying she's not the one I'll have to vote for in 2008.

[Warren Stupidity]

31. WTF?

How about we actually have a primary or two first.

[SaveElmer]

33. After the primaries would be the appropriate time for that...nt

[PFunk]

34. No.

I'll either vote independent or not vote at all before that happens

[cali]

37. Go away

Who the fuck are you to tell people during the PRIMARY process to support YOUR candidate?

Just go away.

[Totally Committed]

38. No, thank you.

TC

[tammywammy]

40. No. This is what primaries are for.

You unite afterwards.

[ncteechur]

41. Well, I don't know yet if I'm ready to give to Hillary but I do give her an 80%

chance at the nomination. However, I will say this. If she does get the nomination, I'll vote for her. For those that do not, they need to get off DU. I suppose they can go to Independents Underground with the Leiberman supporters or Green Underground with the Nader supporters, or even Libertarian's underground with the conflicted Ron Paul supporters.

[Larry Ogg]

56. That’s right anyone who doesn’t support the corporately owned rite wing conservative bias media’s

favorite conservative democrat should not come to DU.

That would really suck because the only people that would come to DU would be freepers and Hillary supporters, problem being it’s hard to tell the difference.

[Connie_Corleone]

42. What in hot damn hell are you talking about??

NO ONE HAS CAST A SINGLE VOTE YET!!!!!!!!!!

To tell people to unite behind Hillary before the caucus and primaries have happened is asinine.

You don't ask people to unite behind someone during the primaries. You ask that after someone has ACTUALLY won the nomination!!


It's too early in the morning for this crap.

[Ethelk2044]

43. I will never vote for her. I know several other people who will not as well.

[Bucky]

44. Amen! None of this voting malarkey! It only leads to bad feelings. End debates NOW!

thanks for sharing

[Lerkfish]

74. yeah, who needs a democracy? lets just go straight to a monarchy by acquiesance.

that's the ticket...riiiiight...and Im' married to....MORGAN FAIRCHILD....

[saltpoint]

45. I think we should all get behind Gordon Lightfoot.

Abandon your campaign favorites this instant and let's all band together with Gordon Lightfoot.

Here's why you should like Gordon Lightfoot better than your candidate:

Lightfoot has likely recorded more albums than your candidate.

Lightfoot isn't tarred by the Washington insider component; in fact he's not even a citizen of the U.S.!

Lightfoot's health is in peril and he almost died a short while back, yet rebounded and lives on.

He knows how to celestially navigate, and it's very likely your candidate doesn't.

So there it is. Overwhelmingly persuasive reasons to dump your preferred choice for the 08 nomination and throw your time and talents behind Gordon Lightfoot.

This is my final post in this matter.

[mmonk]

46. .

:rofl:

[ginchinchili]

47. If you prefer Biden, then promote Biden.

When people see you do that, they are more apt to do the same themselves and at some point the scales begin to tip in Joe's favor. Campaign for the candidate who is best qualified to make the most of a very, very difficult situation, for our country's sake. It's not too late.

[wisteria]

48. My differences with Senator Clinton are not petty. n/t

[Carrieyazel]

49. If she wasn't such a bad candidate in a general election, I would think about it.

Hillary will unite the Repukes along with many Independents, and her unlikability is going to do her in. She foolishly voted to authorize the war, and voted against every effort to slow it down and possibly avoid making the biggest blunder ever in foreign policy. She just had to rush to war. She showed no vision whatsover. She refuses to admit her awful mistake, and most importantly here, HAS TRAPPED HERSELF in a box in which she cannot extricate herself. She cannot make a real distinction with the Repuke nominee on foreign policy, and that is essential.

Add to that, the fact that many Democrats (and others) believe that she would CONTINUE this war through a FIRST TERM in office! Finally, Repukes and many Indeps still loathe her, even when she votes their way. They accuse her of pandering, or "not being sincere". It's unfair to her, to be sure, but that's the reality. She just can't win, even when she tries to be all things to all people.

[Tellurian]

105. Actually, it's Obama that has united the pukes. He has them working for him on his payroll..

A vote for Obama is a vote for Republicans.

[ljm2002]

50. Yep, that's how it should work all right...

...everyone should unite behind one candidate before a single primary vote has been cast. That's what primaries are all about ... right?

:crazy:

Dream on.

[OnionPatch]

51. Didn't you forget your sarcasm tag?

Actually, I'm not that crazy about Hillary. We are still in the primaries and we still have free choice so I'm not getting behind Hillary in the primary. That said, I can't imagine anyone who would not vote for Hillary against a Republican. (Unless you're a Republican.) Let's see....two people are running and one of these two people is going to win. One is totally against every single thing you stand for and wants to wipe your beliefs off the face of the Earth. The other you disagree with on several issues but are at least in the same ballpark with most others. But hey, let's just not vote because neither one is pure or perfect. That will turn out great, won't it? :eyes:

[CreekDog]

52. I like Hillary, but I think the competition has made her a better candidate

So, a little competition through the primaries bothers me not one bit.

[democratsin08]

68. money

senator clinton needs to save her money for the general election

[demommom]

119. Now,we get to the real reasoning behind this ...

of course , why would it be anything else,$$$$$$$$.

[mitchum]

53. LMAO!!! Well done (and a sarcasm tag isn't necessary)

once again, well done :)

[Crunchy Frog]

54. Um, can we wait to do that until after the primaries?

In case you haven't noticed, we haven't chosen a nominee yet. It would be kind of a drag if we were to all unite behind Hillary, and then Obama ended up with the nomination.

Disclaimer: I'm not in any "camp", but I'm sure not "uniting behind" anyone until we actually have nominee.

[William769]

57. It's still to early to say that.

People should back whoever they want until the Nominee is picked. With that said though, the bile some people are spewing we could do without.

[Forkboy]

58. That's right. "We must sacrifice".

[Cha]

60. You Have Got TO Be

Shittin' Me. Please don't reply.

[JNelson6563]

61. I'll be glad to send you some crutches.

Pathetically lame.

[Myrina]

62. Nope, sorry. Can't do it.

n/t

[HughBeaumont]

63. Nope.

Not happening. This isn't "Lockstep Underground".

There's no "inevitability", there are better candidates, damn it.

[freestyle]

64. We have primaries precisely to fight among ourselves.

That is what they are all about. We get to fight and argue, and debate, and hash out which of the Democratic candidates the largest number of us wants to send to the general election. I have never bought the argument that tough primaries are a bad thing. They are a good and necessary thing to make sure as many voices as possible are heard. Whoever the nominee ends up being, they need to take into account ideas from many corners of the party. I will support Obama during the primaries, and we will see who our eventual nominee is. Then, I will support that person, because all of the Republicans who might win their primary are total disasters. But now, we Democrats get to fight through our primaries.

[derby378]

65. This is the funniest damn post I've seen on DU in quite a while

Unite behind a Republican? No, thank you.

[JI7]

66. too fake

[NastyRiffraff]

69. demsin08, the humor is a bit subtle for some here :)

But well done, and point taken!

[Forkboy]

70. If you read enough posts by this OP you'll see it isn't comedy.

subtle or otherwise. :shrug:

[Lerkfish]

75. It certainly does appear coordinated ..er..triangulated ...er...

like a paid operative, I mean.

[Forkboy]

77. Can't be paid.....sooooo not worth the investment.

The paid ones are slicker. :)

[Lerkfish]

79. true. this has the opposite effect: making people run away from your candidate

so maybe they're trying to extort money from them to shutup?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

71. Oh, here we go again.

Same ol' thread, over and over.

NO. We are not going to "unite behind Hillary." There are these things called "primaries" coming up next year. Look it up in the dictionary. That's where we decide whom to "unite" behind. And a whole lot of us are not interested in that candidate being Hillary right now.

[Lerkfish]

72. ummm...okay. No one tells me how to vote.

this "inevitability" argument is working against your candidate, btw.

[LWolf]

76. Okay, here's the plan:

We'll meet up in an abandoned factory; lots of room that no one needs anymore.

You make the kool-aid, and Lieberman will bring the special brownies. We'll greet each other, shake hands, eat some brownies, and drink some kool-aid. The rest of the candidates will all give speeches of concession. We'll eat more brownies and drink more kool-aid.

Then we'll blindfold HRC, gather around her in a circle, hold hands, sway, and sing "Kumbaya." When we're sufficiently pumped up, we can do a round of "My Hero, Mrs. President."

After that, we'll place the official presidential tail/pen in her hand, spin her around several times, and see if she can find the donkey to pin it on.

When she can't, we'll loyally proclaim whatever she stuck it on to be the "New Democrat" ic mascot, and surreptitiously toss the old donkey into the rubbish bin.

I hope she doesn't pin it on the sheep, but whatever happens, we'll be united when the new era dawns.

[Forkboy]

78. LMFAO

:rofl:

[ariesgem]

86. Too Funny!!

:rofl:

[illinoisprogressive]

80. Unite behind Hillary? Bwahahahahahahaha. Good joke

[ChiciB1]

81. I Dun SinK So!!! Kinda Like Crowning Her QUEEN Or Something...

I was under the impression Democrats had DIVERSITY... but then who knows??

[ChiciB1]

82. Wait.... You Prefer Biden, But Your Avatar Is Elizabeth Edwards...

don't you think you should have Hillary there??

[democratsin08]

110. simple reason

elizabeth edwards is the "real" edwards. john edwards is wimped out. if elizabeth were the candidate i would support her. i have put aside my support of biden for the good of the party. lets all unite behind hillary and march to victory together.

[demommom]

118. I think Hillary coul have written this herself.

How does putting aside your support for Biden, if he ever had it, translate into "for the good of the party?" You want everyone to abandon their candidates,for Hillary and the best you can do is "for the good of the party?" How much does the Clinton campaign pay you for this stuff?

[saltpoint]

83. So it's settled, then -- we're uniting behind Gordon Lightfoot.

I loved the SUNDOWN album.

[Blue_In_AK]

88. Hey, I'll vote for him.

:hi:

[saltpoint]

90. Hey there good person.

Very good to see you around tonight on the boards.

:hi:

[Lerkfish]

102. Only if I can suggest Paul Simon as veep.

then I'm with it.

[saltpoint]

124. No complaints from me on Paul Simon as veep. A Lightfoot-Simon ticket

is extremely palatable at our house.

Told not to listen to popular music, I snuck my transistor radio to bed and listened to top 40 music, including "The Boxer."

One of Simon's great compositions.

That song blew me away.

For that matter, is STILL blows me away.

[Lerkfish]

125. OMG! I had to sneak my transistor to bed, too.

what a small world.

[Township75]

84. don't worry, everyone here will soon after she gets the nomination...

I lover hearing people say they can't vote for her...I am going to bookmark this thread, and watch as those we said they won't voter for her, turn and talk about how great she is, what they are doing for her campaign, and how much they want her to be our next president as the election approaches. Just like Kerry, everyone will be behind her despite their futile whining now.

[Blue_In_AK]

85. WHAT??!!?? n/t

[The Wielding Truth]

87. Not yet. The process has just begun. Let us study the field.

[rinsd]

89. The time for unification is after the nominee is decided by voting (nt)

[IndianaGreen]

92. Keeping combat troops in Iraq until 2013 & voting for Iran War Resolution are NOT petty differences

Hillary will turn Iraq into a Democratic War. She will support whatever crimes Israel commits. She voted for Lieberman's Iran War Resolution.

All Hillary offers is that she will be a more efficient warmonger than Bush. That's not a President that I will support!

[fujiyama]

93. She doesn't have the nomination yet

We haven't had a single primary. Let's have the vote and may she win or lose on her own merits.

It's too early to force people to get behind any one candidate. A single vote has yet to be cast.

[Jed Dilligan]

95. A little early, ain't ya?

I say we vote our conscience in the primaries and our intelligence in the GE.

That's why I changed my avatar today.

[TSIAS]

96. You can't really be a HRC supporter

Your act is becoming transparent. I don't support Clinton, and I highly doubt you do either.

Hope your boys at CU are having a laught right now.

[snowbear]

97. This is the most LAME and SUSPICIOUS thread I have ever seen.

A non-donating DU member who has been here less than 3 months is telling Edwards, Obama and Biden supporters to cash it in and hand their votes over to Clinton.

Democratsin08: If you stop in again ------ ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND ????

WTF should we listen to you??

Your thread sounds so Rovian that it stinks.

[Enrique]

117. good call

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3387091

[killbotfactory]

98. Hahahahahhahah

hahahaha

[Pushed To The Left]

99. I will continue to support Obama until the primary is over. After that, I will proudly

support the Democratic nominee, regardless of who he or she is! I agree that Democrats need to unite and support our nominee, but the primaries aren't over yet.

[Greyhound]

100. The differences are far from petty, and while it may be possible for you to ignore

her history, her actions, and her blatant pandering to her corporate masters, many of us still have principles and a knowledge of history.

Her liabilities are not just in her policies, but there is the undeniable fact that many GOP voters that are currently demoralized and disheartened, would crawl out of their death beds, across hot tar and burning coals, just to vote against her. She has no coattails for other candidates to run on and that will hurt the Party badly.

She might well get into the White House, but she will go alone and have to face a shitstorm of huge problems, a slumping (possibly collapsing) economy, a national debt of $500,000 per household, corporate abandonment, and international hostility like none we have faced before. Add to that two, or possibly three wars, none of which can be won, that Americans have no will to fight, and you want to add a Republik controlled Senate and possibly the House too?

[Perry Logan]

101. After Hillary wins, will the anti-Hillarites repeat everything Fox news says about her?

Probably. It makes me hope they really do join some third party. God knows they've done enough damage to this one.

[Lerkfish]

103. so, your preference is to purge this party of everyone who does support Clinton?

kind of a scorched earth policy?

but its you guys that keep claiming WE"RE purists.

[Lerkfish]

104. another question: What if she loses either the primary or the general

will you still want us to leave the party? That would prove YOU the disruptors, n'est-ce-pas?

let me give you a dose of reality, oh piquant one:

My preference is that she not with the nomination, but even if she does, she will NOT win the general, because she's the republican's PREFERRED opponent.
That means they KNOW they can either beat her or coopt her.

and if that happens, all this petty squabbling wont matter one bit.

and Fox news is going to treat her like royalty, or have you already forgotten her partnership with Murdoch?

[Tellurian]

106. Let us know when your finished with your SNL impressions..

I can't stop laughing... :rofl:

[Lerkfish]

107. see, here's the difference between you and me.

I discuss the candidate, and you trash me.

think about it.

what's the difference? *I'M* not a paid operative for any candidate. I"m just a democratic voter

[Forkboy]

139. Let us know when you're done with your tool impressions.

I can't stop laughing either! :rofl:

[gorekerrydreamticket]

108. Let's unite behind someone else....n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

109. better yet - let's put aside our petty differences and unite behind Rudy Giuliani!!

That way we can REALLY be sure of winning !!
:crazy:

[Douglas Carpenter]

112. a deja vu from 84: "Let's put aside our petty differences and unite behind Fritz!"

That's exactly what all the pros, political operatives, "party regulars" and "people who know" were saying in those days too.

126. because they want to?

:shrug: its up to them if they want to rent out the site to the Clinton campaign.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

121. Ain't no fucking way I will every support her corporate owned ass.

[gateley]

123. I'm not giving up on Biden and I hope others don't give up on their candidates

either. This the foundation of who we are and one of our few rights remaining. We're not being presented with just one candidate from each party. Or like Saddam, one candidate, period. After the primary, then we'll unite. Don't worry, we won't let the R's do it to us again.

And if you want to join hands, come on back and join hands with the Bidenites! :hi:

[jcrew2001]

137. i don't think they understood the sarcastic point of this post

so it has yet to be locked.

If we unite behind hillary, then DU is irrelevant and should just have a big link to the Hillary website.

[TheFarseer]

138. She hasn't even won the primary yet!

This is what you should say in about April (IF she wins the primary), although I will still not stand behind her because she certainly doesn't have my back.

[DuaneBidoux]

140. The O.P. reminds me of Bush's "bipartisanship" Do it my way, be bipartisan.

The nomination process is democracy in action. I hope it continues until we have a winner from that process fair and square. Then, regardless of who is the nominee I will "unite" behind him or her.
