All This Talk of How The Clintons Are Going to Tear the Party Apart?

[NashVegas]

It reminds me of a parent who warns a kid to stop running around or they'll trip and hurt themselves, and just to prove their point, throws a leg out. When the kid spills over, the parent goes, "see! I told ya!"

1. But she IS trying to tear the party apart

and she is trying to "break Obama's back".

Worst analogy ever.

6. Yeah, letting people vote is just SO undemocratic!! And we're all such sissies we just can't HANDLE

any dissention!!! Far better to dump one candidate, and let half the party walk away, pissed off, ripped off, and in "revenge" mode.

Yeah, that make sense.....NOT.

[tridim]

11. I don't want to dump any candidate

I want the mathematical loser to bow out now instead of fucking everything up for the entire party. Apparently you don't agree and would rather lose to McCain.

[MADem]

12. There is no mathematical loser yet. You can't "count votes" based on halfassed guesses.

People have to VOTE first. Anything else IS dumping a candidate unfairly.

It's only the GOP that does it the other way, you know.

If you think any battle-hardened candidate, after EARNING, rather than being coddled and handed, the nomination, can't wipe the floor with Popeye, well, we don't DESERVE to win.

I have more faith in the party platform, frankly. Way more than you, that's for sure.

Ideas and goals count for something.

Hey, keep up the "Be Very AFRAID of Johnny" theme. Keep painting the party as a bunch of frightened little wussies...that'll REALLY help us in the General, that atttitude.

14. Posts like yours are why they say Denial ain't just a river in Egypt...

... we all know Obama is the nominee. I understand why people in general don't like to admit it when they have lost something and the more important a contest is the less people want to give up when they have lost.

Hillary has lost. Obama is the nominee. Anything you do to try to discredit or tear him down only helps McCain and the Republicans. We can go back and forth with you talking about the fact that a possibility still exists, but in reality that possibility is so minute at this point that it really isnt worth the one minute of any of our time to talk about it.

It is over. The sooner Hillary and her supporters accept it, the better for anyone who believes in anything for which the Democratic Party stands.

2. thats what it reminds you of? sounds like your memory is as good as clintons. n/t

3. Who in the hell does that? That's a rough family.

8. Indeed

The Democratic Party has allowed itself to be shat on for so long it's on its way to becoming what Sinéad O'Connor described dysfunctional Ireland as, circa 1995 or so.

4. Yawn

5. When I was younger, I could never beat my sister playing chess, she

would always just get mad and tip over the gameboard.

I didn't want to play chess with her much.

7. I'm curious, what do you think her strategy is?

Win 65% of the vote in states that hate her and overtake the PD vote?

[zonmoy]

9. perhaps tearing the party apart might be the only good she ever does.

seems to me that the democrats need to be torn apart to make way for a party that is actually liberal rather than center right.

[ProSense]

10. Her campaign is in trouble, her actions are despicable, her tactics are dirty and her desperation

is evident:

Hillary's top donors threaten Pelosi: Endorse Hillary's view that elected delegates can abandon Obama or we're pulling our money from the party.

[stevenleser]

13. Obama is already the nominee and everyone knows that including you. There is nothing constructive

that will come from this continued denial.

Was the night the demand was first made on DU - that Barack Obama is our nominee and we had to come together and support him. Her refusal to give up the fight isn't tearing the party apart; it's the Barack campaign's reaction to it that's causing the damage.
