I will remember how the Obama people are gloating.. tonight.

[AGirl]

and trashing on Hillary supporters. I will remember on Nov *If* Obama is the nominee (which he won't be but just in case)

66. Did it ever enter your head - we can just stay home.

[tavalon]

87. Easier and yet with the same result

[Yurovsky]

93. You wouldn't vote for Dem House or Senate candidate?

Look, I'm not voting for Hillary under any circumstances. I'll pull the lever for the Green, Socialist or Communist candidate that best reflects my beliefs. But I'm not staying home and handing the Senate back to the GOP, or allowing the House to fall into the clutches of the far right reactionaries.

Whatever differences the Obama & Clinton camps may have, I'd like to think they could agree on THAT much. Even if McCain were elected, he couldn't do a whole hell of a lot for the next 4 years if he were facing massive Dem majorities in Congress, and I have a feeling he'd probably cave in on a number of issues (or have his vetoes overriden).

JMO.

[emilyg]

118. You make sense.

[mutant80]

128. I'm getting the sense that there are Freepers in our midst

[Yurovsky]

130. Yep, you nailed me...

I spent over 30 years working for progressive causes, voting for progressive candidates, donating (well, not much, but as much as I could afford) to progressive politicians/movements, and I suddenly saw the light, went and had my brain removed and joined the Free Republic just so I could come to DU and bash Republicans and DLC/Centrist Democrats.

Aren't you the clever one ...

[Danger Mouse]

102. go ahead. John McCain laughs at your foolishness.

[blogslut]

2. Too bad

If Hillary wins the nomination, you will see me fight for her and vote for her with the passion I have been giving for Obama.

Stay home. Don't vote. That will help nothing.

[DesertFlower]

6. same here. and i'm not gloating.

i'm happy.

[DB1]

15. and here. I don't gloat either. Obama is my choice, but I will fight for Hillary

if she is our nominee. I don't think everyone on DU has come to appreciate what a true democrat is. But they will in time I trust. Maybe we could force feed the hostile a direct feed of Fox news 24/7 until they finally get a clue!

[RaleighNCDUer]

73. I know what a true democrat is,

and it isn't a DLCer.

Enough compromising.

[formernaderite]

112. as long as the election process is fair

ie. it doesn't come down to the super delegates choosing the nominee. I'll vote for whomever.

[TSIAS]

3. Beginning of the end for HRC

Sorry for your loss.

[Colobo]

5. So this person prefers to vote for McCain? I bet she's not a Democrat then.

[CalGator]

51. she must like McCain's 100 Years War platform nt

[emilyg]

67. No. We can stay home.

[Alexander]

70. You're only hurting yourself.

Sure, help send the country down the tubes by not voting for the nominee. That'll show them!

:crazy:

[BlackVelvet04]

135. what if she thinks voting for the nominee would help send

the country down the tubes?

[CalGator]

71. so you'll be the Ralph Nader supporters of 2008?

Look, I'm probably as much a fan of HRC as your are of BHO, but at the end of the day when it comes down to either candidate vs John McCain or Mike Huckabee, there is no doubt that either Dem candidate will be a vast improvement over the status quo or either Rep candidate.

The thing I most remember from 2004 was Bill Maher and Michael Moore literally begging Ralph Nader not to run because of his results in 2000. In 2000, both of these tools said there was no real difference between the Gore and Bush. Both voted for Nader. Not only did they get served, but the American people did. Don't let it happen in 2008.

[tavalon]

88. You must be very young

That kind of petulance is usually reserved for the under 25 set. Waiting on the world to change, are you? Be the change you want, and as a clue by four, that doesn't include staying home and refusing to vote because your candidate didn't win.

[MadHound]

90. Then you will have absolutelty no right to complain about McCain if he wins

Since you and your ilk will have enabled his victory.

[Colobo]

110. That's helping McCain, emily. Don't do that.

[emilyg]

117. Katz - you know how my feelings changed and why.

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. I don't believe I'm gloating, per say

but I am very proud of him.

and as long as I plan on voting or Hillary, should she be the nominee, I have every right to be proud.

[Quixote1818]

7. Where is the gloating?

I haven't seen much? Nothing like the gloating from the four or five regular Hillary supporters when Hillary wins.

[Colobo]

11. I don't think there has been any gloating today.

Just proud supporters happy for their candidate.

[Quixote1818]

13. Thats all I have been seeing.

:shrug:

[Window]

21. The OP is full of shit.

No one is gloating, but there certainly are a lot of poor sportsmanship coming from the other side, attempting to rain on our parade.

14. Care to point out a particular Gloating thread?

I just looked and didn't see any.

17. I found one in about ten seconds

Especially note the use of the verb "pwn".

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

16. As a Clinton supporter, I won't remember you when you are long gone from this site

as I hope the most divisive supporters of both candidates will be after the nomination.

I have no doubt, not one, that they will return under new identities to sow discontent, and try to suppress the turnout for whichever candidate wins.

[AGirl]

19. I don't even know who you are...

but thanks for telling me you won't remember me...

[Straight Shooter]

64. It wasn't a derisive jab, just meaning that there's tons of people on DU.

I recognize that DU member from way back. Always fair, unless my memory is faulty. :freak:

[still_one]

48. As an Obama supporter, I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is

whether it is Hillary or Barack, or whoever, anyone but a republican

[loveangelc]

47. Damn... I missed it.

Were they shown the door?

[NMMNG]

54. This other guy averaged 150 posts/day

All attacking "Hillbots" (and that was one of the nicer names) with some of the nastiest vitriol I've seen on DU. If you didn't slavish love on Obama he was on you like a rabid dog. He hasn't been TS'd so I'm wondering if he's just on vacation or something. :shrug:

And make half of the threads in the whole damned forum refer to Obama people as cult members in one form or another?

[ursi]

24. please remember that we've had to deal with HRC supporters gloating too. karma!

[book_worm]

26. And I remember how you already have written a post saying you won't vote for Obama in November

anyway. And I will remember all your nasty posts and all the posts of some of the others (certainly not all HRC supporters) on DU who insulted us and said we are cultists and other nasty things and if HRC is the nominee I will vote for her. You have just belittled yourself with this and some of your other posts.

[Carrieyazel]

29. He's winning mostly small caucuses, as well as primaries in states with the largest % of

African American Democrats. He needs to expand his base to win the nomination; and he isn't showing many signs of doing it.

[AGirl]

31. humm i see, well i have no problem with him winning tonight..

ah well... I dont think he will win the nom, thank god.

[book_worm]

35. Wrong

He has won 9 primaries and 9 caucuses and has won almost as many primaries as HRC. He has won more states than HRC. He has expanded his base. Super Tuesday proved it when he won 44% of the White vote overall (and he has won many states with mostly white populations). On Super Tuesday he even expanded on hispanic voters. He has won females in some states. Now where is Hillary expanding her base? Is she winning younger voters, is she winning independents, is she winning more black voters, is she winning male voters? Actually it's Obama who has been gaining while HRC has not shown much growth with her base.

[newmajority]

36. Yeah, he's winning all those "black states"

Like Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, and Idaho. :eyes:

[Carrieyazel]

59. Except for Utah, the other three are caucus states, that I did NOT say had large #s of black voters

Maybe I wasn't gramatically clear.

The first part of the title is states like Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, and the second part is Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina.

[Dark]

38. Kansas is full of blacks? you're kidding right?

n/t

[Carrieyazel]

53. No, four of the PRIMARY states he's won have large % of black voters

If you go back and re-read the title, "the small caucus states" were not included with these primary states.

[Dark]

65. Uh, he's won 18 states, not 4.

Many of them in the midwest, where the black populations are very small.

[Carrieyazel]

69. I said 4 OF the states he's won, I know he's won 18 total states.

[CalGator]

77. I got news for ya

outside of those 4 states you mention, most of those states are as lily white as the CPAC convetion that the Reprobes attended this week. Ywt Obama not only won these states; he dominated her in these would-be red states.

[Divernan]

105. According to column in NYT, he's increasing support all across the board

Blacks, hispanics, white males - you name it - not to mention major fund-raising advanatage. Frank Rich's column is at the top of the Times' most e-mailed articles, and is packed solid with facts, statistics, numbers. Those facts, statistics and numbers may be bad news for the Clinton campaign, but they do not comprise "gloating", which is defined as expressing malicious satisfaction. Another fact: this pro-Obama article is spreading far and wide via the New York Times, which has endorsed Clinton.

The piece is titled: "Next Up for the Democrats: Civil War", by Frank Rich
Here are some excerpts
The result? Black America has largely deserted the Clintons. In her California primary victory, Mrs. Clinton drew only 19 percent of the black vote. The campaign saw this coming and so saw no percentage in bestowing precious minutes of prime-time television on African-American queries.

That time went instead to the Hispanic population that was still in play in Super Tuesday’s voting in the West. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles had a cameo, and one of the satellite meetings was held in the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s smart politics, especially since Mr. Obama has been behind the curve in wooing this constituency.

But the wholesale substitution of Hispanics for blacks on the Hallmark show is tainted by a creepy racial back story. Last month a Hispanic pollster employed by the Clinton campaign pitted the two groups against each other by telling The New Yorker that Hispanic voters have “not shown a lot of willingness or affinity to support black candidates.” Mrs. Clinton then seconded the motion by telling Tim Russert in a debate that her pollster was “making a historical statement.”

It wasn’t an accurate statement, historical or otherwise. It was a lie, and a bigoted lie at that, given that it branded Hispanics, a group as heterogeneous as any other, as monolithic racists. As the columnist Gregory Rodriguez pointed out in The Los Angeles Times, all three black members of Congress in that city won in heavily Latino districts; black mayors as various as David Dinkins in New York in the 1980s and Ron Kirk in Dallas in the 1990s received more than 70 percent of the Hispanic vote. The real point of the Clinton campaign’s decision to sow misinformation and racial division, Mr. Rodriguez concluded, was to “undermine one of Obama’s central selling points, that he can build bridges and unite Americans of all types.”

[fishwax]

30. Yep. The cultists are the only ones to trash other candidates supporters

:eyes:

Anyway, I think Obama supporters are celebrating their success tonight, same as the supporters of other candidates have been in times of success.

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. So you're just going to stay home, and not vote...

well how childish and undemocratic of you.

Isn't the whole point of this to get the republicans out of office? No matter which candidate is running? And you do realize by not voting you're only giving them more power, right? Or maybe you don't really mind if they're in power? :shrug:

[Danger Mouse]

39. Hint: OP in question regularly frequents the undersides of bridges.

The basic thought behind it: I don't care who gets nominated, just vote you bastards!

[Danger Mouse]

55. gone? you were already there.

57. Yeah, because I hang out with you!

You Elven Scientologist! Oooh slam!

I made someone cry in GDP... I'm going places I tell ya!

[Danger Mouse]

61. welcome to my ignore list.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

40. I will vote Blue.

Regardless of our nominee. The last thing this country needs is another 4 (or more :eyes:) years of warmongering, and break after break for Big Oil and banks from the Repugs. And don't forget the pork, like the Bridge To Nowhere.

[still_one]

41. and I will remember how you said you wouldn't vote for Obama if he was the nominee

I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is

so who gives a damn what you think?

[Danger Mouse]

42. Gloating? Trashing? It's been remarkably civil.

but as always, you see only what you want to see, and nothing else.

[Quixote1818]

49. Thats what I thought. After Hillary won California the other night

you would have thought Obama was the biggest loser on the planet. There was gloating all over the place.

[RandomKoolzip]

45. "What are you going to do, bleed on me?"

[AGirl]

50. haha i was thinking of something else..totally.

[greguganus]

56. Great pic. n/t

[Political Heretic]

62. Yeah, throw your vote away because someone hurt your feelers!

For me, if Hillary Clinton is the nominee, I will be voting for her - and I certainly wouldn't base any decision not to on what happens on DU, since I am not six years old and can distinguish the personal from what's best for the country.

[Straight Shooter]

63. Honestly, I don't see a lot of gloating.

I don't care who is ahead at any given time, there's no way I'm going to jinx things and gloat until after the election. I still remember how giddy a lot of people were the night before and the morning of the 2004 election, with a bunch of posters talking about landslide, landslide, landslide! What a letdown that was when the cold hard facts smacked us in the face.

I know you'll vote for the Dem nominee, if not for yourself, then for the citizens of the world who are at the mercy of our government's policies. God forbid we end up with McCain or that bigger freak Huckabee.

[pointsoflight]

68. Deciding about voting based on what bloggers say. Grow up.

How about voting based on who you like, who you think will be best from the country, etc., rather than your perceptions of what an extremely small percentage of the electorate is saying here?

[usregimechange]

72. Plenty of us have not. Playing the victim?

[AtomicKitten]

74. Thanks for the example of how not to act after a loss.

[rufus dog]

75. just got in!

Don't see a lot of gloating, what are you seeing/feeling?

82. I REMEMBER HOW YOU GLOATED LAST TUESDAY

And so did dozens of others of Hilly supporters here. I didn't gloat last night, so unlike YOU, I'm not a hypocrite. And if you won't vote because of DU, well, let me extend to you my contempt.

[Perry Logan]

84. But you guys are so CUTE when you gloat...

[robbedvoter]

91. Did we? I thought it was a tie - and California suddenly didn't matter anymore

[Major Hogwash]

97. Well said. Because if supporting warmongers like Hillary were popular, I wouldn't be here.

I would just stay away and let McCain win.

McCain would kick Hillary's ass so bad in the fall, it isn't even funny.
Bubba even stated 2 weeks ago that Hillary and McCain are buddies.

So, it's now or never - this war must end.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

[ileus]

86. people will wake up this Tuesday, and vote Clinton...have a little faith.

[MadHound]

89. I remember the swagger and bully boy tactics of the Hillaryites early in the campaign

What with the whole inevitable air that Hillary was trying to project. These Hillaryites swaggered around here, trying to bully people into voting for Hillary, jumping and stomping people when weren't getting on the Hillary bandwagon, they were the main proponents of the daily loyalty oath posts.

Now that Hillary is losing, they whine and moan and gnash their teeth, all without stopping and thinking that hey, perhaps karma's a bitch sometimes, and usually comes up and slaps you in the face.

Now in irony of ironies, these folks who demanded party loyalty, on almost a daily basis, are now threatening to either vote McCain, vote third party, or stay home and pout. That makes them hypocrites of the worst sort, whiny, immature ones at that.

You folks, you Hillaryites, were arrogant assholes in the early months of this campaign, and now that your candidate is on the losing side, you're turning out to be whiny, petulant assholes. What do these two extremes have in common? Oh, yeah:think:

[burythehatchet]

109. PERFECT. One of most dispicable bunch of clowns (clones?) to have

95. I am an Obama person

I haven't gloated and wont..

[Honeycombe8]

96. Too late. The Clinton supporters alienated the Obama supporters weeks ago.

Remember how the Clinton supporters actively booed the other debaters at a debate, merely when they tried to respond to the moderator's questions?

I will never forget it. It is unforgiveable and generally reflective of how the Clinton people, incl. the Clintons themselves, are. It's all about THEM. It's either their way, or no way. Reminds me of someone else...now who could that be?

[JVS]

99. Don't be crying in your teacups.

[Meshuga]

100. I think you are just talking out of your ass

I don't think you are so fucking stupid to the point of helping a Republican win in November by not voting or voting third party or voting for McCain if Obama is the nominee.

I have a hard time believing that Democrats would be dumb enough to let some message board influence their vote in November. I can see not supporting Obama or Clinton in the nomination process and hoping that one of them loses. But not supporting either one of them is STUPIDITY, pure and simple, unless you don't mind another Republican White House, a continuation of the war in Iraq, more conservative judges being appointed, and failed Republican policies.

[Arkana]

101. Besides a few ill-thought-out threads, what gloating?

[GoldieAZ49]

104. I remember the Clinton supporters gloating over HRC "win" in Florida

and write all of it off to immaturity

so don't vote, stay home, vote for Scooby Doo, I really don't care

I don't see Obama or Clinton going after the pathetic vote

[MzShellG]

106. Sooooo.........

You're willing to enable a repuke (McCain) victory because some supporters of your candidate's opponent (on a political blog) was happy and celebratory? Do you realize how flaky that sounds? My issues for sitting out November has NOTHING to do with you guys. It has everything to do with the Clinton's themselves. While your reminiscing, remember your non-vote when McCain's policies start wokring against your interests. You won't have a leg to stand on to complain.

You've already posted another ridiculous thread in which you said you won't vote for him in November, so this is just more of your tired spammy shit.

What will you do based on the random posts on DU? :shrug:
