Hillary drop out, you're wasting precious Democratic energy, money, & attacking Obama like a NeoCon |
|
Anyone else had enough, I mean enough enough? I don't care if my response has zero effect, as it probably will - I cannot take any more of this crap! I've never seen anything like her campaign.
It's getting hard not to be irate with Bill & Hillary Clinton and their campaign and supporters. Look, I know it's a tough pill to swallow when you came so close to getting the nomination, but you're all just so desperate - and this is coming from someone that is not a mega-huge Obama supporter, just a supporter of the Democratic Party who realizes that we must have our candidate NOW - and that candidate is Barack Obama - he's just got it - and he inspires people to vote (thus, why she got beat by him in more states, and by more votes, and more delegates).
It's embarrasing for Hillary that she puts on this charade for weeks on end like she has a real chance. She is mathematically so far behind Obama that it's very irritating to see her, and her Big Attack Dog, slandering Obama every chance they get and behaving like NeoCons.
McCain doesn't have to do any attacking - Bill, Hillary, Carville, and the rest of the Clinton Machine are doing it for him and the GOP warmongers.
Senator Clinton, you lost, but you finished a strong second. But you lost - quit hurting our party!
Eventually, I hope her and her backers see that she's hurting our chances of regaining the White House - we'll be damned if McCain gets in - 28 years of Republican presidents surrounding Bill Clinton's years??? I'll be long gone to another country before I stay to see that!

I'm hoping she'll do it at the end of this week, and no later than the day after Penn.
Have a great night Swamp Rat!

9. I think that's part of the problem, cat_girl25. |
|
It should be when it's best for the party, not when "she's damned good and ready".

Your point reminds me of John Edwards conciliatory behavior. He really wants our party to win. I so wish he were still in the race, but I accepted that he wasn't going to go up from 20% to beat out the two of them, at the time, and I really am shocked to see Senator Clinton not follow suit in the past week or so.
btw, DU would not be the same without you, Nance.

4. Actually, I think if we can have 1000 Wright threads and repeated posting of a "poemme" over and |
|
over, maybe we just ought to repeat this sentiment to the gazillionth power for the next week. Like the Wright fiasco, we'll see how many variations of the post we can do. QuitGate. Its time.

7. Maybe they'll register Republican and get it over with |
|
Then we can kick out the tent stakes and get a tad more progressive.
Half the eligible voters in America don't vote due to justifiable cynicism.
A little hope can go a long way.

11. That's it in a nutshell... |

"..attacking Obama like neocon".

16. yes indeed, and your tag line has me thinking on a side note |
|
We should be supporting a candidate only as long as it's not hurting the party, as the party is the thing we should always support - supporting Clinton at this point is hurting the party. John Edwards realized he would hurt the party if he stuck around, even with his 20%, because he wanted to have our party have it's nominee by now - so we could WIN in November - as he stated on Leno last week.
thanks for the post, greyghost!

15. If anything, having an adversary now helps your candidate. You think |
|
Obama won't face real cons in the GE? Honestly, if you can't handle the give and take of politics, don't complain that the rules are too rough ... that's a loser's position.

17. I respect your clearly spoken opinion. |
|
I feel John Edwards had it right, however, by dropping out so we could have had our candidate by now. He seemed shocked about what has happened (on Leno).

26. He is a nice guy and finished ... well, not quite last, several times |

No matter which candidate prevails, we must endure the consequences. For each of us, the greatest scrutiny will only produce a finer nominee.

18. She won't drop out. This is a war for the party, a war for control of the country. |
|
It's corporate America vs. grassroots America. There is way too much at stake. Keep the race close and steal enough to get the win. Just like the corporate republicans did. The corporatists will do whatever it takes to win.

Anointed One and their constant demands that Hillary drop out of the race. You want a coronation? Too bad, this is a democracy and all voters deserve to have a chance to have their say.

22. Very cute title you all have given him, but the Annointed One for 4 years has been Hillary Clinton. |
|
She was constantly touted as the next president in the press, by people on here, and in daily convos - it's as if no one should even dare run against her - wow, this turn of events must fume her - especially with Bill Richardson choosing Obama over her.
How often, incidentally, does the nominating process go till everyone gets a chance to 'have their say'? She is not going to win, there is no point in continuing this process further, but hey, it's her decision, I do not argue that in the least - unfortunately, she trails in states won, votes cast, and by more than just a few delegates. But I guess slandering Obama while propping up the NeoCon candidate, in the same breath no less, is cool - I just find that, and other attacks (like the JUDAS comment by Carville, at Easter no less) to be the stuff that desperate and gutter politics are made of.
Good night, and here's to the Democrats winning in November.

24. Here's a DUer who thinks just the opposite: "It's probably better if Hillary stays in" |
|
You guys need to get your story straight. If it's better Hillary stays in, she's not quite the villain you say she is. "Insanity on DU notwithstanding, it's probably better if Hillary stays in" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5245738&mesg_id=5245738
