Heeeeere's Billary--

[Jackpine Radical]

just in case you thought they were throwing in the towel anytime soon, here's the Comeback Kid with his latest plea to the masses (and BTW I have no idea why I'm on their email list):
==============================
Message from Bill

Dear Friend,

Here's the most important thing you need to know about this race: it's neck-and-neck.

Only 130 delegates separate Hillary from Senator Obama -- and that's not counting Florida and Michigan. The difference in popular vote is less than 1 percent, and millions of voters have yet to make their voices heard. This election should be about their choice.

But now we're hearing people -- elected officials, party members, and Obama campaign surrogates -- call for Hillary to pull out.

With the race this close, it sure doesn't make sense to me that she'd leave now -- does it make sense to you?

1. Billiary = neocon vocabulary

[Mooney]

6. Who cares?

I've heard neocons use words like "the" and "and" also. Do I have to stop speaking english because Bill Kristol does too?

[northernsoul]

9. Oui!

:evilgrin:

[niceypoo]

11. Billary is 'english?'

Billary is what republicans called her in the 90s when they were accusing her of being a lesbian.

It is posts like yours that convince me that Obama supporters would be wearing purple heart bandages if Obama was going against Kerry and not Hillary.

17. I love the smell of sweeping generalizations based on superficial criteria.

Someone who uses a term popularized by Republicans in the 1990's doesn't have their progressive credentials taken away by that fact alone. And my defense of them doesn't mean that I would be wearing a purple heart bandage. You're making extremely presumptuous extrapolations based on the most trivial criteria possible.

If I start calling universal healthcare "socialized medicine" then we'll talk.

13. DU'ers don't understand

how using Freeper/Limbaugh terms against Clinton during this primary is causing some fellow DU'ers to permanently change their opinions of them. Regardless of the outcome of the primary, I'll have a hard time feeling mutual respect for a fellow DU'er who stooped to such tactics.

I'll forgive people who've done it, but I will think less of them.

16. don't forget

there have been many DU'ers using Freeper/Limbaugh terms against Obama as well. is that okay?

2. If you read down you'll see they are running out of money.

[DJ13]

3. With many supers saying they'll support the delegate leader

She's out of chances and must quit soon to put the party above her own ambition.

4. It's more like Neck and foot

Bill do the math and stop trying to blow smoke up our ass.

[SoFlaJet]

5. no way she should quit right now and this from an Obama guy

not until after Pennsylvania-we need those 4 million democrats mobilized for November

[gaspee]

7. Billary - well bless your heart

You silly thing, you.

Bless your heart.

[Orsino]

8. They have to say this...

...right up until the press conference announcing concession. It's okay for them to spin like this, I suppose, but a lead of 139 delegates (per CNN) is not "neck-and-neck."

edit: and no, we don't need to echo nicknames like "Billary" or "Algore."

[moondust]

10. Yeah, like a couple Indy cars neck-and-neck on the home stretch...

only one of them is about 3 laps behind. :eyes:

[enigmatic]

12. Billary?

Fuck that, I'm sick of this shit.

[Citizen Kang]

14. Only 130 delegates....

that part cracks me up.


Like she even has a snowballs chance to pick up 130 delegates in the last 8 states. Especially when she's going to lose at least half of those: NC, OR, SD, MT and probably IN.

The polls are narrowing in PA, she can't win the primary unless she takes PA by at least 15-20%, the math doesn't add up.

[Jackpine Radical]

15. OK, OK, I'm sorry I said "Billary."

I didn't expect this thread to make a lot of friends among the Hillary people, but I didn't really mean to stick my finger in anybody's eye in the way I seem to have done.

[bhikkhu]

18. If you want anyone to read past the title, don't make it a RW slur.
