For those who speak nicely of Hillary Clinton ONLY when she seems to act like a gracious loser

[Tom Rinaldo]

Screw you. If that shoe does not fit then I am not talking about you.

If you get upset over some of the things Hillary has said or done, fine. But Hillary Clinton isn't a different person one day when she says something gracious to Obama then she is the next day when she challenges him politically on some issue. She won't be a different person at the Democratic Convention if she wins the Democratic nomination for President, than she will be at the Democratic Convention if she joins Barack Obama on stage to support his nomination in a show of unity with him.

Hillary Clinton won't be delivering any concession speeches to Barack Obama congratulating him on being our certain nominee, at least not before the Texas and Ohio primary voters have voted. She didn't deliver a veiled concession speech to Obama at the debate either, no matter what hopeful straining ears thought they heard, or over eager hands on keyboards wrote.

Hillary Clinton is running for President of the United States, and that is not a whit different from what Barack Obama is doing. They both believe they are best suited to become President and they are competing with each other. This is what a competition looks like.

If Hillary Clinton is acceptable to you only when she looks, sounds, and acts like a gracious about to be loser, and not when she acts like a fighting Democrat willing to stand up for what she believes in and herself, then I repeat. Screw you.

1. I second that, Tom. nm

[democrattotheend]

2. I speak nicely of Hillary when she is gracious, period

When she behaves like this I am less charitable. I am not calling for her to drop out before March 4.

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Then I was not talking to you :)

[Maribelle]

3. About your way with words....

:yourock:

[AtomicKitten]

5. Back at ya.

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. Hey AK . I look forward to fighting the Republicans along side you very soon

It's a lot more fun around here when we all get to fight on the same side and soon, one way or another, we will.

[AtomicKitten]

19. agreed

... and you will find that a much easier endeavor if you eliminate "screw you" from your vocabulary. Just a thought.

Cheers.
AK

21. It was that or the "F" word this time

I rarely use either of them though. If I were a woman running for President the media would have a field day with that show of emotion, I know. (don't take that seriously I just couldn't resist).

[jillan]

6. Amen! I want a nominee that has a little fire in their belly.

When the smears come, I want someone that will stand up and fight,

not just sit back and hope it goes away.

[whatchamacallit]

7. Guilty as charged!

I admit it, but only because that seems to be when she's at her best.

[grantcart]

8. Before people react negatively about your post they should consider

that this is the candidate who has just lost 11 straight primaries.

[sandnsea]

9. I never bought her phony sappy act

the other night anyway. She's the same lying conniver now that she was at the debate. I'm just glad she exposed herself today so people can see who she really is.

[mtnsnake]

24. You are the last person on earth that should accuse anyone else of being a "lying conniver"

[GumboYaYa]

10. Hillary is scum.

[robbedvoter]

12. Those SCOTUS judge nominations on DU have gotten scarce today

And they were not condescending, so stop saying that!

[Tatiana]

13. Personally, I hope Clinton somehow takes this to the convention. n/t

[bunnies]

14. Rage isnt pretty on anyone Tom.

That includes Hillary.

[okasha]

17. That includes Obama supporters.

n/t

[Mike03]

15. I agree

HRC is entitled to fight as any candidate would fight for an office as crucial as POTUS.

It is really sexist or hypocritical for anyone to suggest that she should restrict her attacks in any way. It's up to her how she wants to present herself and run her campaign.

She's trying to play the game the way the Repukes have played it for years, and it's a rough game. And it is dishonest to suggest that any Dem should behave in any particularly restrained manner during what is clearly all out war.

16. K & Rec, for insight. NT

[mtnsnake]

18. Thank you, Tom Rinaldo. You said something that's been on my mind for days now

...and that's how I've noticed that the ONLY time that some of these miserable people were relatively nice to Hillary is when they smelled victory and they thought she was all washed up. They are as two-faced as it could possibly get, and I'll never forget the shit they've done to her. Even if they put on some phoney future act of how bygones should be bygones after Obama wins, IF he does, I will not fall for it for a second.

[robbedvoter]

23. Exactly. And to make sure, i keep this one close:

[mtnsnake]

26. Wow, can you believe how some of these trolls get away with their act for so long?

I'll be bookmarking that one, too, just in case I ever have a weak moment, lol.

Thanks, rv.

[Vinca]

20. I try to speak nicely about her and then she does something to piss me off again.

Sorry. Guilty as charged.

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. No, I didn't mean someone like you either. I consider you innocent

at least of this charge, lol. mtnsmake said it well above. I meant folks who found nice things to say about Hillary only "when they smelled victory and they thought she was all washed up."

[cali]

25. I don't mind her hitting hard, but sorry Tom

I thought her behavior today was... odd. And I though she seemed strangely self-destructive. She didn't come off as strong. She came off as over the top. And I'm pretty sure that that's how a lot of voters out there are going to see it.

[Tom Rinaldo]

27. This is a hard fought contest.

I will work to unburden myself from as many grudges as I can as quickly as I can when it is over, and do my best to avoid them until then.
