This election is not about continuing the war between the Clintons
and the Right Wing. We supported Bill Clinton through his fight and through his impeachment. Yes, she stayed on and supported Bil. Yes, she has been attacked over and over by the Right. Still, the Presidency is not a prize to be given to the most frequently attacked Democrat. It is not a victory for the Right nor being ungrateful to her if we now select a candidate that we prefer to Hillary Clinton.

8. Kerry LED the advocacy for gays to serve, Bill wouldn't back him up and rolled over
on the issue.

5. Some of Hillary's supporters seem to feel that we owe her the
Presidency just because the other side hates her so much.

6. We don't owe her the Presidency, but we, as Democrats, do owe her respect -
the same respect that we are supposed to give to everyone else.

Before her campaign even got off the ground, Hillary was being slammed and ridiculed by not only the MSM, but also by most progressive talk shows.

And although Hillary has lost the last several primaries and caucuses she is still being slammed. I gotta hand it to her just for hanging in there and being a fighter.
