Hillary pulled the "aid and comfort" schtick on Obama
As in the McCarthyite "aid and comfort to the enemy." If she keeps this up, she will lose my vote in the GE (in the unlikely event that she makes it to the GE).


It's on this vid, around 1 min 33 sec.

1. She doesn't have your vote anyway, right?

3. No, she didn't get my vote in the primary. But would in the GE....
given the fact that I've never not voted for a dem for Prez. But there are some dems that I will never vote for again--such as my senator, Mary Landrieu. Hillary's pretty close to joining the club. Not that my one little vote really matters--but I'm sure that there are tens of thousands of others who feel the same.

5. mmm, sadly, with so much vitriol meeting in the middle, it is my sense that many on each side...
are being put off to the other sides option. There's really nothing good coming from all this sniping & derision. It only favors republicans imo. We seem to be playing from their time-tested playbook against each other. Doing their work for them. In the heat of this so-called 'passion', which to my ear sounds at once both less than sincere & over the top of what is understood as civil while only feeding on itself; too many aren't even able to see that they are playing republicans fiddles: strings, bows, bridges & all...oh well.

6. I'm not sure that it's "we"--the voters--who are doing what you say...
that is, "playing from their playbook." Today, at least, it was Hillary playing from that playbook. Obama's winning because he's less obviously paying that game, and people are sick of that game.

8. Point here is that, as a for instance and before leaving his post at the WH...
Rove mentioned at the podium that HRC is "a flawed candidate". A cursory review of threads here at DU will confirm that whether it is believed out right/sight seen or unseen, in sum total, or whether they as is often my opinion they know it or not; they are mouthing/keying the very words & thoughts of Karl Rove

Yes, HRC is a big ole bitch. Yes, HRC is ambitious. Yes, HRC is a politician. Yes, HRC thought she had it sewed up (which by the by it isn't over yet and my mindset lately is to drag all this filthy, nasty-ass laundry into the convention let the sparks fly and let the chips fall where they may). Yes, she certainly seems frustrated watching Obama skate away on water. But you can tune into The McLaughlin Group and hear Monica Crowley say some of these very same tired, old, vitriolic things that are being said about her there as here. Cept they're being said by a newer, hipper Ann Coulter: Monica Crowley.

Why do you suppose that is? Haven't they gotten the memo? We are all about tearing HRC apart here at DU.

Oh, "he's less obviously playing that game" because people are indeed sick of it but he is playing it make no mistake. Though why should he even feel the need to? When DUer's are more than able to play dirty-for-dirty on his behalf ;)

9. This is a sad state of affairs.
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 05:21 AM by Window
You are correct -- the republicans, along with the media, press, you-tubers and some of these crazy blogs are lapping this mess up -- and we are the losers.

I wish I could wake up tomorrow to the evening of March 4. Perhaps, at that time, things will be a little clearer. Well, a girl can dream can't she.



Peace:thumbsup:

4. She has already lost mine.
I've had enough of her bull and old style crap. I will no longer support people like her until they clean up their act.

Sorry no Bush 2.0 for me. Clinton or Mccain

If she somehow makes it to the GE I plan to write in Ron Paul.

GO OBAMA!!
