hillary supporters. I mean, she's done - there's no way she can become the nominee unless Barack Obama drops out of the race, and he's not going to. Why should he??? He's going to win. She should have left after Obama's 12-state-win. She doesn't have a chance in hell.
Why are they hanging on to something (hill) that's not going to happen, and continue to try to destroy our Democratic nominee? This behavior is so unbelievable - I cannot believe most of these posters are really Democrats.....it seems as if they would rather just destroy the party of they can't have hillary.

5. He's winning because of suffrage - people's votes. |
|
Hillary's got 5 million of her own bucks wrapped up in this campaign. Of course she ain't gonna quit.

13. Like that was any of his doing??? |
|
If Hillary was so concerned about the people of Florida and Michigan's votes counting, she had plenty of time to speak up BEFORE those primaries were held. She didn't squawk until afterward about "suffrage" and "democracy" and "letting the people decide" until after she got hammered.
This isn't a suffrage issue, this a "Hillary is suffering - God save Hillary" issue.

19. Wrong - she was always concerned about those two states. |
|
Obama would not come to the table for a re-vote and everyone who is honest knows that. He is against voting. His strategy is straight from the Republican handbook on disenfranchising voters.

Now she wants them broken so she can win and for no other reason.

6. Do you think this post will help? |
|
Maybe if we would start being nicer, others will stop seeing the Obama side as the enemy.
Just a thought.

24. Think of it as "passion" rather than animosity. |
|
Something they care deeply about isn't going to happen. Admittedly, it would be a great smack in the face of the ruthless right to see Hillary elected, after all of the bitching they did about Bill and her; the lesbian accusations, the cold-bitch accusations, the ruthless compromiser type things...
It does sadden me to see DUrs saying the same things about her.
OTOH, she's deliberately throwing the black vote under the bus to secure the nomination at all costs. That kind of tenacity is admirable in some contexts, but in our present context, not so much. It appears grasping, selfish and ungracious.
Don't forget that she has good qualities, too. Let's hope she remembers them after Obama gets nominated.

22. Indeed. They firmly believe she's the best person for the job. |
|
And you can hardly blame them. I mean, it took a Clinton to clean up the mess after the first Bush, the argument can be made that it'll take a Clinton to clean up after the second Bush...
The problem is, if it hadn't been for Bill Clinton's "problems" during the "Clinton fatigue" portion of his presidency, the second Bush never would have made it to the White House.
Just like if it hadn't been for the support of black churches, he'd never have been elected in the first place. Now he owes THEM loyalty? I think the reverse is true. And this "electability" smokescreen? It's a bit shameful.

26. We are on the very brink of reuniting the Democractic Party. |

I was too stupid to understand what Obama meant by that when he first said it. It sounded like politician speak.
But after watching a panel on CSPAN discussing the whole Kennedy - Wallace showdown, my memory has been jogged. I get it. Obama is right about this in every register even though in general, he's too conservative for me.
He's right. I have to admit that.
The Clintons are their own problem and it saddens me to see what they're doing. I've gone from being pissed as hell to just being sad for them.

29. when you consider that most of hillary's "supporters" are limbaugh dittoheads |
|
--you're right, they're not really democrats. Or they're "Democrats"--you know, rich people who like to offshore their employees' jobs and get all that corporate welfare at the same time they're "socially liberal." The ones who like things just the way they are and especially the tidy profits to be made from war-related business. Like the corporations they run, they owe no allegiance to any party or even to any country. With hillary, the world will be safe for corporate plunder and greed. That's why I consider them to be "Democrats" in name only--hence the lack of loyalty to the party.

30. That's not the whole picture. |

There are long time good Dems and DUers here that are very invested in that candidacy.
That should be respected, don't you think?
(Omg, I said "respect" in GD-Pugilists.)
