HILLARY, DO THE RIGHT THING: DROP OUT TODAY

[Yurem2008]

The writing is on the wall. Do not become the Huckabee of the Democratic Party. This race is over, Barack Obama has defeated you on your terms. it is time to stop the insanity, to stop the negative campaigning and it is time to congratulate Obama and join him and unite the party to defeat McPain in November. There is nop need for more debates, America has spoken and you have been roundly rejected and trounced. What will one or two debates do for you? Obama will not make a major gaffe...you will go negative and will just look desperate and petty. Do the right thing and drop out of the race today.

[ORDem]

1. Kick n/t

:kick:

[libertee]

2. dream on...Obama may not make a gaff but check some of the

other websites on what's coming out..I won't ruin your fun in doing that!

[Kira]

4. I am a Hillary supporter

but I feel like we don't have any hope left after last night, what are you refering to?

[nomorewhopper]

7. congratulations to your side for the big negative attacks

i'm sure they will work as well in texas and ohio as they did in wisconsin!

[libertee]

13. some concerns about Obama's support of a Kenya opposition leader

who was poised to bring Islamic control to be. Plus Rezko goes to trial in two weeks..former Ken Starr aide is the judge.

[JackORoses]

43. if you are referring to pledged delegate poaching and the MI and FL, then you are hopeless.

Never going to happen.

No matter how many Hillarite tears are shed.

[MyNameGoesHere]

55. Hillarite? Is that some kind of light metal i have not heard about yet?

You OBAMA SUPPORTERS are so smart.

[JeanGrey]

58. Oh my! Another kindergarden paper, perhaps? A white mistress

and baby somewhere? Another crack head on you tube?

[AlCzervik]

3. do you think she read your post? Maybe you send it to her website.

[Fredda Weinberg]

5. Huckabee is doing a service for his party, so is HRC. Let the process

proceed.

[MadHound]

65. Pfft, Huckabee is angling for either a VP slot this time,

Or a better showing next election cycle. He's not doing the 'Pugs any good, just himself.

Hillary on the other hand is shredding the party. The negative attacks by her and her supporters are alienating people, and if she drags this on to the convention in the hopes of undemocratically employing the superdelegates to thwart the will of the people, she'll tear the party in two.

Plus her current negative attacks on Obama are being picked up by McCain. Now Obama is essentially having to face two foes, one in his own party:eyes:

Face it, Hillary needs sixty plus percent of the vote in each and every state from here on out. She's simply not going to get those kind of numbers. She's deep in debt, she can't win, she can only harm Democratic chances this fall, for her own good and the good of the party she should pull out now. At the very most after Texas and Ohio.

[CalebHayes]

6. McCain knows it's Obama

We need to unite.

[Perry Logan]

8. One week they're calling her a bitch. The next week they're offering heartfelt pleas to her.

These anti-Hillary folks are a piece of work.

[apocalypsehow]

36. Point me in the direction, please, of one "anti-Hillary" (read: pro-Obama) poster on this website

who has called Hillary Clinton a "bitch" - I would like a link or directions to the specific post. I'm betting you can't.

[terrya]

38. First they spit on us, then they send us flowers.

Are you dazzled by this flattery yet?

[Perry Logan]

44. Those Obamites are just too smooth.

[CorpGovActivist]

49. They're just giving her the benefit of the doubt: (1) she has a heart ...

... (2) she has some facsimile of judgment left.

Being a "misunderstood" INTJ and all.

:eyes:

[557188]

9. Yeah ignore Ohio

Fuck anyone who wants to ignore my vote.

No one should drop out until everyone has a chance to vote. Even more so for the most important state in November.

[JeanGrey]

59. Will Ohio make a difference? Are you claiming that no one

can win without Ohio?

[ShortnFiery]

10. If HRC could dig deep down and pull out such a "gracious act" on behalf of our beloved Party.

It would REPAIR a lot of the damage that her surrogates have done via "dirty tricks" since the run up to the SC Primaries. But it's just "a dream" because I fear that HRC does not truly care about our party or our country. It's all about HRC ... just listen to all the "Is" in her speeches? :thumbsdown:

[Tarc]

14. yawn Why doesn't Obama drop out now?

rather than saving himself the embarrassment of having to whine when Florida and Michigan get seated, and he loses the super-D vote?

[XemaSab]

20. He's won the last 10 primaries?

All by over 17 points? :shrug:

[Beausoir]

51. Heh. You're so funny!

[Justyce]

11. Welcome to DU. I hope no one drops out at least until after Ohio and Texas. nt

[Beacool]

12. Hell no!!!!!!!!

Hillary doesn't have to drop out just to suit Obama and his supporters!!!!!! Some of us don't think that Obama is fit to be president and hope that Hillary stays in the race until every single vote is counted, including MI and FL!!!!!


:shrug:

[stahbrett]

15. I've already seen and heard people call her "Hillabee Clinton"

Not that this is a great comparison, since Hillary is much closer to the nomination on the Democratic side than is Huckabee on the Republican side.

[Yurem2008]

16. LMAO!! Hillabee!!

that's a good one!

[billyoc]

26. Excuse me, you misspelled

Hilliani. :evilgrin:

[CyberPieHole]

71. What does Barack Hussein Obama have to say about that?

:shrug:

[BuyingThyme]

17. The more Barack bumps heads with Hillary, the better Barack looks.

Why end this?

[From The Left]

18. Hillary Doesn't Care About the Country or the Party

Hillary cares about Hillary.

She's a ruthless, power-addicted Lady Macbeth-type character and very possibily a lunatic.

[LostinVA]

31. *yawn*

[BobbyVan]

40. Agreed, the trashing of Hillary is unseemly

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. I Haven't Seen Projection Like That Since Julius Streicher Was Tried And Hanged At Nuremberg

[Beacool]

47. How old are you?

Hopefully too young to know better, otherwise.......


:crazy:

[Metric System]

56. Did you stumble in here on your way from Free Republic?

[Iceburg]

19. Stay put Hillary -- you got the Dem vote. Obama's support is an illusion --drive by Repubs/nt

[jzodda]

21. LOL thats some illusion, the illusion of 10 straight victories

Check the polls in Texas of late? Guess who is moving up every time a new poll comes out?

I like HRC, but if any body's support is an illusion its hers since she has done nothing but lose since super Tuesday.

[jgraz]

24. Just watch, this will be the Hillaroids' rallying cry

"Votes don't count! Elections are an illusion!"

Sad, pathetic and desperate.

[thoughtcrime1984]

25. Give me a break

She should at least stick around through March 4th, but you'd spin it to say that she is the winner already.

[tigervalentine]

30. I think it's great that Independents and Republicans are voting for Obama

That's what this country needs: a coming-together of more than one group.

If we have a Dem-only president, the hatred and division will continue. And after all these years of it, I'm damned tired. Would love to see something finally happen that we could all care about and participate in. That's what Obama is all about. He can make us work as a nation. That's better than just us Dems running things exclusively--just as it wasn't good when just Republicans were running things.

Let's grow up and put the nation first.

[LostinVA]

32. OMFG

[MonkeyFunk]

48. They really seem to believe that, don't they?

It's sorta cute.

[Egnever]

52. Do you honestly believe

Obama is wining by margins of 33% on average in the last ten primaries because of republican turn out?

Cute is the sort of denial you are pushing here. He is getting more repukes and indipendants to be sure, It isnt close to 30% of the voter turnout though.

[Leopolds Ghost]

70. a fairy tale, you mean n/t

[NoPasaran]

22. We need this Texas Primary to take place

Regardless of who wins it, it will bring out thousands and thousands of voters who have no primary voting history. We may never have another opportunity to identify so many non-activist Dems and Dem-leaning independents as we have now. This will prove invaluable in rebuilding the Texas Democratic Party, a task which was begun several years ago, but we still have a long way to go.

Precinct chairs all around the state are trying to imagine what our precinct conventions (what the media are calling "caucuses") will be like when dozens, maybe even a hundred or more voters show up to events that maybe draw ten or twelve mostly elderly voters in other years.

And hopefully after the sound and fury of the presidential storm has passed over us, a few of these people who have never done this before will stick around and help us take back our state from the worst elements of the neocon/religiofascist right.

[Egnever]

53. Well said

And probably the strongest argument I have heard for Hillary continuing this thing.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. I think you need a hug.

:hug:

[blondeatlast]

37. ...

:grouphug:

[BobbyVan]

39. ...

[blues90]

27. Hillary has every right to stay in this race for as long as she feels

fit to , just as you have a right to vote for who you want to . How would anyone know how this may turn out , there are still alot of states to vote yet so they should just give up if they support Hillary ?

[bvar22]

50. Yes. Simple arithmetic be damned!

It will be really helpful to join up with McCain and keep attacking the inevitable Democratic Nominee.

Damn the icebergs!
Full Speed ahead!

[blues90]

68. Simple bs , simple brainwashed mass hysteria

Fools who buy into catch phrases like simple arithmetic and change and the now dead yes we can . Inevitable , the only thing inevitable is death or continued wars and corporate control . There is the simple arithmetic many americans forgot all about .

I can't wait until the gen X people get old and find out from their younger generation how foolish they are forced to look .

People will never get it that a president is just a puppet , you rock the corporate or military or Big oil boat and you are gone .

[SKKY]

28. Unfortunately, hell hath no fury like a woman scorn...

...so we're all pretty much doomed to watch this Anna Nicole-like collapse come to it's painful and ugly end.

[LostinVA]

33. I expected better from you, ALS

:sigh:

[SKKY]

69. I know. I know....

...It's simple and sexist. I apologize.

[racaulk]

29. DFTT

[LostinVA]

34. No kidding -- and I can probably tell you which one

[BobbyVan]

35. Obama MUST BE VETTED!!!

Hillary is doing a good thing by keeping up the pressure on Obama and staying in the race as a credible alternative.

Crazy things have happened in politics before, and I'm sorry to say it, but right now Obama is a cult of personality with great speeches at this point. He hasn't really been tested/vetted either. Jack Ryan dropped out of the race, and Obama may not undergo real media scrutiny until it's too late (i.e., he has the nomination). If his candidacy is going to collapse because of bombshell revelations (Rezko, youtube accuser, drugs, or something else), better to have it happen now than later.

For the good of all concerned, Hillary should stay in the race.

[Tom Rinaldo]

41. It would be the wrong thing FOR OBAMA for Hillary to drop out now

And I mean that sincerely. I wrote a seperate OP explaining why I feel that way. If you are curions here is the link:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4683526

If you are not curious I'll just say that the longer and harder fought this campaign is, the more Obama will be able to point to a victory in it as proof that he has what it takes to be Commander in Chief. Obama had not been tested on the national level before this race. The harder this test is the more credit he will earn as someone who can go toe to toe against a man with McCain's reputation.

[FlyingSquirrel]

42. America has not spoken.

Some of it has. Let the rest speak.

[Beacool]

46. You people are such a bore!!!!!!!

How many of these B.S. posts are you Obama groupies going to post today???????

She does NOT have to drop out. There are still states that haven't voted yet and they too would like to have their say.

:boring:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

61. YOU PEOPLE????????

Don't you know how many racial overtones that has??????

(figured I'd say it, before one of the others did)

[Raydawg1234]

54. If she loses in Ohio and Texas then she should definately drop out

[kenfrequed]

57. OK.

I am annoyed!

I don't support Hillary and probably will never support her candidacy, but I am absolutely tired of calls and questions regarding people dropping out.


Still I guess a part of me has trouble raising too much ire over it as both of my candidates were already edged out the race by the media.

I would call on everyone to use rational arguments with regards to endorsing their candidates, but unfortunately the two we are stuck with were the least substantive of the choices we were allowed. Sigh

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

60. You've Got A Huge Ketchup Stain On Your Shirt. How Did You Miss It?

(i.e. you're standing there all falsely confident unaware of how absolutely stupid you look)

[Barack_America]

62. Do this have anything to do with Spike Lee's endorsement of Obama?

;)

[Skoods]

63. Oh give me a break.

The Huckabee of the Democratic Party? Can you be anymore biased?

Hillary could still have the lead in pledged delegates when this is all over. Huckabee hasn't had a chance since Super Tuesday.

Hillary still has more supporters than McCain does, so comparing her to the man who got trumped by McCain is just a plain embarrassing sentiment.

[zulchzulu]

64. I disagree

This should all go to at least Pennsylvania. As an ardent Obama supporter, I think that having the race continue will make him an even better candidate.

I would suggest that we all work for whoever we want in the meantime.

[blondeatlast]

66. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW1!!1Why let that pesky electoral

process get in the way? :eyes:

FWIW, I voted Obama in my primary.

You need a hug. :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

67. LOL
