PLEASE... Someone tell me why Hillary should be nominated.

[The Doctor.]

Really... it's just a mystery to me.

:evilgrin:

[Yael]

1. I got nothin

Sorry!

[rodeodance]

55. you head stilling worried about O. losing?

[Yael]

64. Nah RD -- just can't come up with a compelling reason to nominate her

:P

[dkf]

Because she is really good at domestic crisis bimbo management.

Oh, wait. We won't need her talents if Bill's not around.

Maybe McCain will need her.

[ruggerson]

2. Because

she's tough, brilliant, relentless and highly partisan. All ingredients one needs if one is to have an overwhelmingly successful presidency.

[Carolina]

75. so that's why she's supported Bush so often

because "she's tough, brilliant, relentless and highly partisan."

Only time I've seen her fired up and ready to go in the past 7 years has been because of some campaign flyers. Never saw any comparable outrage over Bush, the war she supported, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Patroit Acrs I & II, loss of habeas corpus....

She can't even run a good campaign

[DJ13]

3. Because I've always wanted to see Bush in a pantsuit

:silly:

[stop the bleeding]

spraying beer

:spray:

[FlyingSquirrel]

50. I really don't get why people continue to comment on the pantsuits

What is she supposed to wear, a dress?

[greguganus]

69. She should wear desert camo like the soldiers she helped send to Iraq. n/t

[greguganus]

68. lol..not gonna touch that one! n/t

[jefferson_dem]

4. Um...don't you know. It's "her turn"...

No need to justify exactly why.

[Double T]

5. YOU must be a NADER supporter.

Congratulations!

[scheming daemons]

6. Because she's inevitable...

...

[HCE SuiGeneris]

7. Because...

McCain sucks ^&%$#^ d^&%!

[The Doctor.]

8. Uh-Oh... looks like Hillary's thread is getting no love. C'mon people... we need reasons! nt

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. I gave every possible reason I could muster...

:spank:

[Birthmark]

9. If nothing else, she's a known quantity. eom

[mtnsnake]

10. One word: COMPETENCE

[Alexander]

15. Like the competence of her campaign?

It still doesn't answer the OP.

[Exilednight]

27. Or her IWR vote?

[From The Left]

11. Don't Ask Me

[ClassWarrior]

12. So far, one word is all they got.

NGU.

[RBInMaine]

13. Because Dems just have to keep nominating people who

will do absolutely shitty in the general election. Half the country hates her. Gee, there's a reason to nominate someone. Also, she whines the best about being asked to go first in debates, invokes Saturday Night Live in her debate answers, uses silly juvenile sarcastic stunts in her rallies, has multiple personality syndrome, and takes more money than the R's from fat cat corporations. All good reasons to nominate her.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. for the record....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHW0RzXe4DQ

[bellasgrams]

25. Elsewhere, love your link. I just don't understand why anyone

would think twice about who to vote for. You can't get any better than Hillary.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

32. : ) agreed

[Hutzpa]

35. Yup! ready from day before 1

working and suing children's

:evilgrin:

[Beacool]

16. Oh please, more B.S. from the Obama camp!!!!

I can't think of one good reason why Obama is prepared and fit to be president. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and we'll see how many miracles the new messiah will perform if he manages to get to the WH. How long is the helium going to last, when will some of you come down to earth??????????

:crazy:

[ClassWarrior]

Apparently you can't think of one good reason why Clinton is prepared...

...and fit to be president either, because you didn't bother to give any.

:crazy:

NGU.

[From The Left]

72. And they say Obamamania is irrational? HAHAHAHA

[stillcool]

17. According to Wes Clark...

it has something to do with her side of the bed.

Gen. Wesley Clark, a Clinton supporter and the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, plugged the TV ad while introducing Clinton on stage and suggested that her tenure as First Lady prepared her to be president. "She's been in the White House when the tough decisions were made," Clark said, looking over to Clinton. "I guess you've been at the bedside when that phone rang at 3 a.m. in the morning." Clinton was joined at the event by three generals, including Clark, and a Navy Rear Admiral.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/29/clinton-obama-missing-in-action/#more-5639

Personally I think it's her penchant for law suits.

[greguganus]

70. The "rear" admiral was there because she's so far "behind" in the race. n/t

[ClassWarrior]

18. So far we have...

..."tough, brilliant, relentless and highly partisan" - all platitudes that could be equally applied to Obama.

We have "One Word: COMPETENCE." Too bad we don't have several additional words to support that.

We have someone who can't be bothered to explain anything, but instead resorts to posting a YouTube link that no one will bother to watch.

And we have someone turning a prime opportunity to convince others into another chance to smear the opponents' supporters.

I'm convinced! :eyes:

NGU.

[ruggerson]

23. Obama is highly partisan?

news to me. His entire campaign is a paean to bipartisanship.

[ClassWarrior]

28. This thread is your prime opportunity to talk about HRC, and all you people want...

...to do is talk about Obama. Wonder why?

:rofl:

NGU.

[ruggerson]

33. I didn't bring him up, you did

My post, which you referenced, was about Hillary. You might want to get your brainstem checked.

[ClassWarrior]

34. You're avoiding the subject.

Any substance to back up the platitudes for Clinton?

NGU.

[ruggerson]

39. sure

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4361720

knock yourself out.

[ClassWarrior]

43. A windy opinion piece with no links. I'm totally knocked out.

:eyes:

NGU.

[ruggerson]

49. uh, usually when one has an opinion on something

links aren't needed.

You asked why I supported Hillary. I told you. I'm not trying to convince you, I could care less.

The original point was that you claimed Obama was just as partisan as Hillary.

I pointed out to you that in order to think that you must have a paucity of brain cells. It's demonstrably false.

[ClassWarrior]

58. Okay, if you want to change the subject to an offhand comment about Obama...

...and partisanship, answer me this. Do you think Sen. Feingold is partisan?

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

73. Friend? Is Sen. Feingold partisan?

I'd say he's one of our most partisan Senators in the chamber. Yet he consistently wins Wisconsin with broad support from (I)s and (R)s...

So before you hinge an entire argument on a single word like partisan, please be sure to define it first.

NGU.

[hfojvt]

59. I would dispute that

Obama was more partisan on the war wasn't he? He also has never been a Goldwater supporter. Nor does he have a spouse who basically ran as a Republican. He's less likely to put social programs behind a balanced budget, which Hillary has a stronger commitment to. And "fiscal responsibility" is a term that the DLC stole from the Republicans to "out-Republican" the Republicans. The way the DLC betrays progressive principles I would say that they are less partisan than anybody, and Hillary is more DLC than Obama. Obama is partisan, he just talks in a way that's inclusive and frames and sells the partisan message to a wider audience. YMMV.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

19. Health Care

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. Economy

[AZBlue]

42. Um, more accurately it would be called health insurance.

You must work for an HMO if you're excited about her plan.

[Obamanaut]

21. Sorry. Can't think of a single reason. nt

[ElsewheresDaughter]

24. Children

[Obamanaut]

36. She's going to fix all those other things AND the children?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

26. Energy Independence and Fighting Global Warming

[ClassWarrior]

30. We have an answer!!

We should vote for Clinton because ElsewheresDaughter has memorized all of the major issues of the day!!

I'm even more convinced!!

NGU.

44. Ahhh, name calling. But still no reasons to nominate Sen. Clinton.

NGU.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

29. Lowering taxes for middle class families.

[hfojvt]

62. especially if you think somebody making $100,000 is middle class

and that also sounds like the campaign of Reagan and Bush.

[Hutzpa]

31. Sex Appeal

what else....:shrug:



:evilgrin:

[The Doctor.]

38. Ohhhh yeahhhh!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. Obama always agrees with her.."I agree with Senator Clinton"...he never says anything else

[rodeodance]

40. They just played that on SNL skit--it was hillarious!--

[ElsewheresDaughter]

51. aww damn I have my TV turned off...I'll have to wait and catch it on here

[rodeodance]

54. there were several duzzies of obama including his being now PRESENT for public

financing.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

57. omg LOL

[rodeodance]

60. sorry i did not record----but many good for You-tube.

[katandmoon]

45. If you can't figure it out that's your problem

[Hutzpa]

46. Ahhhh, got nothing to say

cheer up, *tap on back* you'll be awright.

:smoke:

[ClassWarrior]

48. And if Sen. Clinton's defenders can't be bothered to explain her value...

...that's HER problem.

:shrug:

NGU.

[rodeodance]

61. why should we--all you obamababies do is mock her anyway. do your own homework

[ClassWarrior]

66. Is that the phone bank script? "Hello, I'm calling from the Clinton campaign..."

"...and why don't you do your own homework you crybaby??!" SLAM! CLICK! HUMMMMMMMMMMMM...

NGU.

[BenDavid]

47. uh huh HRC is gonna make that sam cooke song a reality

and HRC is to be the nominee and old sam's words will ring true, "A Change is Gonna Come".

[ElsewheresDaughter]

52. give this man a kewpie doll

[greguganus]

71. only Sam Cooke song Hill's gonna sing is "There'll Be No Second Time". n/t

[LadyVT]

53. Are you really asking? Okay...

"Reason #1 to support Hillary:
In Arkansas she was instrumental in straightening out their school system - taking it from one of the worst systems to a role model used by other troubled schools on how to improve public education.

"Reason #2 to support Hillary:
In 2006, she led the fight to kill the anti-gay Republican constitutional amendment that for the first time would have added laws to the Constitution that would INCREASE discrimination

"Reason #3 to support Hillary:
After being pummeled by the public for trying to pass Universal Health care while she was First Lady, she dusted herself off and in 1997, led a federal effort that provided insurance support for children whose parents were unable to provide them with health coverage.

"Reason #4 to Support Hillary:
She was able to secure a raise in research funding for prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the National Institutes of Health..."

http://www.davodd.com/2008/100-reasons-to-support-hilla... is where the another 96 reasons are. If you really want to know, that is.

[ruiner4u]

56. Pantsuits!!!!

[apocalypsehow]

63. She shouldn't - Senator Obama should. That said, unlike some HRC supporters I'll vote for WHOEVER is

the Democratic nominee.

[emilyg]

65. Are you too lazy to do some research?

[The Doctor.]

67. When I can have a thread full of zealots do it for me? No... that's not 'lazy'...

That's efficient.

:evilgrin:

[Obamanaut]

74. I thought of one - we get to call her by her first name, and we get

to say things like 'girl power' and 'you go, girl.' The male candidates of both parties are called by their last names, and woe betide us if we say 'boy' in the same breath.

[Carolina]

76. she SHOULDN'T

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

77. Because She's A Great Dem And Would Make A Great President, Duh.

Not sure why that would be such a mystery to you. Obviously, you didn't try and think about the answer all that hard.

[ClassWarrior]

79. So how exactly does that distinguish her from her primary opponent?

:shrug:

NGU.

[LWolf]

78. I don't think she should be. And neither should Obama. n/t

[From The Left]

80. As far as I know, she won't be.
