Hillary fills me with Hope.

[maddiejoan]

When I listen to Hillary, it fills me with hope for our future as a nation.

So sue me.

[Thrill]

1. Thats your right

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. me too. maybe its the water in brooklyn, maybe its hillary :)

[maddiejoan]

7. OMG

We should meet for lunch!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. i would LOVE to. i live in greenpoint.

[maddiejoan]

16. Park Slope here :)

and yes --Brunch would be awesome!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. cool. i am sick this weekend. but we should plan something soon

:)

[LowerManhattanite]

32. We have disagreed in the past Maddie,

...but as a long-time “Sloppie”, it's good to see another in the mix.

Smiling Pizza, Mr. Falafel, Uncle Louie G's and Katina's...all familiar haunts—as well as “The Purity”.

Damn, I'm hungry just thinking about those places! :)

[maddiejoan]

34. Katina's

is now Purity II (or little Purity as I call it)

[AX10]

3. I know she can talk the talk and DOES walk the walk!

I know that Obama can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk!

Vote Hillary!

[blm]

11. She talks the talk and closes the books.

But, for some reason, some Dems don't care if BushInc stays protected for another decade.

Interesting thread here - but you never see Clinton supporters on serious corruption threads for some reason.

28. Name one president who investigated the previous one

[blm]

41. Clinton didn't HAVE to investigate - all he had to do was COOPERATE with the investigations

that had been going on and FACILITATE access to documents that had been stonewalled by previous administrations.

Man, what is so HARD about this for you all to grasp?

Are you PROUD Clinton's taking in millions of dollars from the very same people who were protected when BCCI report was deep-sixed?

You want MORE of that when Bush2 leaves office? What the hell has happened to a citizenry who no longer WANTS open government or accountability?

You want MORE 9-11s? More Iraq wars? More dominant fascism?

[Little Star]

4. Me too, Maddiejoan. Me too! k&r

[Bread and Circus]

5. I don't blame you for that, she has a lot of poise and is well spoken.

[dkf]

I'm happy for you. Why so defensive?

Frankly, I would like to assume that we are for our candidates because we believe they can create the change we want.

[maddiejoan]

22. Why defensive?

Read some of the posts in this thread.

[dkf]

27. I just think its something you should celebrate.

Why let other people influence your belief in your candidate.

[Red Zelda]

6. WHAT are you smoking?

Billary fills me with contempt. If she only had a sincere bone in her body. Really, I wish I knew what drew people to her, because I don't see it. Of all the Dem candidates, she remains the WORST.

[maddiejoan]

15. Thank you

such a "hope" filled piece of doodoo to drop in a positive thread.

I'll be nicer.

Obama doesn't fill me with contempt, nor do I find him insincere.

He just doesn't inspire me as much as Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[Guava Jelly]

8. That is great!

No flames from me.
You should believe in the candidate that you vote for..

[K Gardner]

9. I understand how you feel, maddiejoan ! :-)

[JVS]

10. Want some more Koolaide?

[Big Blue Marble]

12. Exactly,

the point I have been trying to make here for weeks. The candidates we chose should fill us with hope.

Otherwise why would we vote for them? We vote so that we can change the status quo. We vote
because we hope we can make a difference with that vote.

That why all the criticism of Obama's message is way past silly. We all want the same thing - for our
country and our lives to be better.

We may disagree on who will be best to take us there, but hope is part of the message of every candidate running for president.

[Deja Q]

14. Fair enough. Let's say, because she's a politician like any other, she can't fulfill her promises.

What will you do?

Sue?

[libertee]

17. Me too...but we have all these chauvanist piglets to work through first.

[Deja Q]

25. Talk about a pork barrel project...

:hide:

[bigtree]

19. copycat!

Obama OWNS hope now . . . doncha know?

[Iktomiwicasa]

20. Personally

She gives me gas.

[Canuckistanian]

21. She fills me with something else...

But, vote as you please.

[golddigger]

23. Obama fills me with something too too...but 5 minutes on the toilette took care of that.

[Canuckistanian]

33. I would still hold my nose

If it came down to that.

The alternatives (NOT voting or THE UNMENTIONABLE) would be worse.

[Big Blue Marble]

24. There you go again.

:P

[GarbagemanLB]

26. clap clap point point

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. She's Also Fills These Folks With Hope

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/video/122.aspx

[AGirl]

30. Her Health Care plan fill me with hope.

[Orangepeel]

31. It's good to vote for a candidate who fills you with hope.

:thumbsup:

It's not cult-like at all.

[Bongo Prophet]

35. Politicians should give hope to their supporters! I am glad you understand it.

The key for us all is to then push them to fulfill their promises, and make the political landscape as friendly to that as possible.

I never saw you dissing Obama supporters over the "cult" thing, and appreciate that.
Your support is reasoned and respectful - and as I said when you "came out" for Hillary, as long as you are doing that, no one should dismiss it, whether they agree or not.


Looking forward to working with in the general, no matter who wins. :hi:

[maddiejoan]

36. same here

though I do plead guilty to the occasional Obama snark. (I'm only human and a bit of a comedian)

[Bongo Prophet]

38. Hey, we are all human, and it's easy to get caught up in it.

Maybe since I was hoping for Gore, then leaning Edwards - mixed with my analytical nature over my advocacy, it keeps me from getting too worked up in the "my candidate good/your candidate evil, oh and PS you ae a jerk" mode of thinking.

Similarly, my anger at vote stealing, constitution shredding repubs is not heat and smoke, but cold, and hard as steel.

The important thing is to not let it escalate to the point where DUers are damaged afterwards. This weakens us, and the greatest tragedy would be to lose another really close election, or miss out on a filibuster proof Congress. We need to move as much of a democratic agenda so that people can see real progress before the 2010 elections.

We are on the cusp of great change, and we are lucky to be a part of it.

[maddiejoan]

39. You're right of course

Me? I've been wanting Hillary as President since 1992 when I was adamant about the fact that we were electing the wrong Clinton.

[Bongo Prophet]

40. Damn, you are brave to say it. That was me in 1992 as well.

As a c-span junkie with a penchant for tech and environmental concerns - and knowing that at some time in the early 21st century the oil curve would dip, causing, well you know, what we have today (PNAC) - I was a big Gore supporter. He was in the senate talking up the possibilities of "Information Superhighway" through the 80's, then "Earth in the Balance" - all this showed such long term vision - one of the main things our politicians, media and most citizens really lack.

I was mixed about Bill, but recognized we needed a win, and we needed someone who could connect with people. I liked the blue collar background, but when I saw Hillary speak, from early on, I thought "she is the brains in that partnership" ...when the "cookie" comment passed her lips, I cheered loudly...that is not to take away from bill, but his need to be liked is a weakness. Enough psychobabble and nostalgia from me, though.

Seems I have an inability to type a short post.;)

[ronnykmarshall]

37. I love you Maddie

I was just talking to the ol' ball and chain and he said ... "how much have we sent to Hillary?" .... well we gonna send $100 more!!!!
