Hillary's refusal to drop out isn't infuriating. It's sad and pathetic.

[Frank Booth]

She's like the bald 50 year old cruising for chicks in the red Corvette.

She's like the over the hill former superstar athlete who keeps unretiring.

She's like the senile professor emeritus who won't stop teaching.

Some people fade away with dignity. Other people burden us with their lost dreams and resentment. As an ex-fan of Hillary, it's sad to see that she's one of the latter.

[billbuckhead]

1. She's damn near heroic fighting for democracy and against the media

[BlooInBloo]

2. Heh. It all depends on your perspective I guess. Go 50 year old bald paunchy guy!!! lol

[zulchzulu]

61. Chicks like bald 50 year olds in Vettes...

The guy lets them drive those thangs... yeeee haaa!

[Skip Intro]

13. Yes she is. Thank you.

[Catherina]

22. And encouraging racist bigots to take off their hoods n/t

[niceypoo]

42. Dragging race into everything...

...is itself racist.

[goldcanyonaz]

34. Yep, and if our system was winner take all like the Repugs she would be on top.

[Voltaire]

36. And if IFS and BUTS were BEER and NUTS

We'd have a hell of a party don't you think?

[cali]

56. No she wouldn't

atleast provide proof of that claim.

[goldcanyonaz]

79. She most definately would. link inside.

[RunningFromCongress]

81. Republicans split CA, TX and a few others BTW

[goldcanyonaz]

82. It's not proportional. McCain got 155 with 42% of the vote and Rom got 6 with 32% of vote.

[polpilot]

38. 'fighting for democracy' for who? McCain/Clinton..The Dream Team

Pro-War, Pro-NAFTA, 'strong on terror', Clinton/McCain, McCain/Clinton.. What the hell?

[niceypoo]

41. It is 'sad and pathetic' that roughly 50% of Democrats support her...

Welcome to democracy

[gorekerrydreamticket]

51. Damn right! She dodged snipers and, and, ... wait, uh, never mind...n/m

[SeaLyons]

65. Heroic!!!

She is standing up for all the millions of voters that support her. The only thing sad is your post.

[dionysus]

70. LOLOLOLOLOL

phhhffft *cough cough*.... uh.. yeah...

:rofl:

[splat]

3. I think she's peaking; she's got gravitas to lead the country now

[Cha]

10. Yeah, she heavy all right.

[kwenu]

4. She's like the annoying drunk at a party who won't go home.

[splat]

5. You could leave the party if you're not having a good time

[kwenu]

6. It's our party.

[me b zola]

8. Freaking Brava!

:applause:

[splat]

17. Hers too, hence...

[Beacool]

26. It's been her party before Obama even knew how to tie his shoe laces.

How dare you imply that it's not also her party!!

[redqueen]

63. Are you sure she wasn't still supporting Goldwater at that point?

:shrug:

[Beacool]

68. You think that you're cute, don't you?

Obama is a flim flam artist who has too many people dazzled with his empty rhetoric if, Lord forbid, he becomes president let's see how fast he falls on his face.

[redqueen]

69. I could say the same about Hill, out there spewing the WH lies in the lead up to Iraq.

Guess we shouldn't have been so surprised she voted for it, considering she not only BELIEVED but REPEATED all those lies.

[Lucky 13]

72. I see you've not refuted what she said...

... simply pointed out how cute she is. I agree! Go Redqueen!

[cliffordu]

73. ROFL!!!!

That's one of the funniest things I've read here.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Lucky 13]

71. And that's the problem right there. This isn't, and never was, "HER" party.

The gall of some of you people... sheesh.

[Tesha]

49. If she's the nominee, lots of us will "leave the party". (NT)

[Hepburn]

54. Or call the annoying drunk a cab and tell her it is time to GO! n/t

[elleng]

7. ITS OUTRAGEOUS THAT ANYONE WOULD SUGGEST

THAT HILLARY OR OBAMA DROP OUT AT THIS POINT.

[Symarip]

11. The use of all caps really brought the point home (n/t)

[elleng]

16. Thought it might!

I don't USUALLY shout!

[Symarip]

19. I was just yankin' your chain.

I actually agree as an Obama supporter. I think if it looks like there's a viable chance she can win people will have a hard time coalescing around the presumptive nominee. If she doesn't do well in the next contest or contests, she can bow out on her terms making it easier to swallow the pill. Just my 2 cents, minus any snark (except for the fact that I still haven't received my pony for being an Obama supporter).

[elleng]

29. Gotcha!

That's what chain's for!

[cliffordu]

75. Sorry. We forgot to tell you that Hillary had your pony kneecapped.

[Frank Booth]

14. She can stay in if she wants, I guess.

Obviously, she has a high tolerance for embarrassment. Like I said, it doesn't make me mad that she refuses to drop out. I just don't understand how she can be so desparate for attention and affirmation. Maybe having a husband embarrass you in front of the whole world will do this to a person.

It's really kind of sad. She has so many talents but, unfortunately, lately she seems unable to use them constructively.

[olkaz]

47. ARE YOU READY TO UNLEASH THE FURY OF CAPS LOCK!!?!?!?!?

UNLEASH IT!!!!! ARGGHGHGHHG!!!!

[pokerfan]

9. What if the first person to climb Everest quit

when things got rough?

[pdxmom]

18. Then Hillary's first name might have been Tenzing Norgay, who was

the second person to summit Mt. Everest.

[SwampG8r]

43. how so?

she isnt named for edmund hillary unless her parents left her nameless until kindergarten

[goclark]

67. Help me understand where she got that fib from...

I was once a Kindergarten teacher and I've had several students that made a lie their reality.

They would say it without blinking an eye.

When she explained the Bosnia story, I got a mental picture of those students.

They found it extremely difficult to say ~ "I told a story."

They would just stay with the lie and dig themselves deeper and deeper into the "misspeak."

IMO, there seems to be a pattern of behavior that perhaps expanded after she had to tell lies for Bill and keep on a Happy Face for all these years.

She went through hell and back with her marriage.She seemed to do well as a Senator. Now, something has changed and it is not a good thing for her.

I'm for Obama and I feel she has every right to stay in the race. I don't think it is fair for anyone to tell her to get out.

What worries me is that she doesn't realize that a new day is dawning,Rocky lost the fight and she didn't even realize that, or fact check it, when she read her prepared "Rocky Remarks" from her paper.

[Hepburn]

55. Then Hillary would not have been named Hillary...

...:rofl:

[Lucky 13]

74. Many should have. Because many DIED without ever succeeding because....

... they were ill-prepared and did not have an effective strategy for conquering it. Much like your candidate's campaign.

[anonymous171]

12. Hillary is Rocky. Unfortunately for her, this is the sixth movie.

[Cha]

15. But, billy and hilly see it another way..

[StevieM]

20. I know it's pathetic that a candidate with 49% of the vote would refuse to drop out

and allow her opponent the nomination simply because he dominated the caucuses and now has a lead in PDs, which the rules specifically state don't chose the nominee.

Steve

[PseudoIntellect]

23. ...he has more primary delegates, too, you know, contrary to what you would like to believe.

Delegates choose the nominee, yes?

Pledged delegates partially do choose the nominee, then. The rules don't say that PDs specifically DON'T choose the nominee, because they are a crucial part of the primaries, and we all know that. You're trying to diminish the importance of caucuses and PDs, since Obama is doing well.

Yeah, stupid caucuses, stupid domination in the caucuses...stupid pledged delegates. A candidate ought to be punished for dominating anything; shame on you, Barack Obama, for encouraging massive support and enthusiasm needed to get people to caucuses that have had the rules laid out for a while as well as expanding Dem registration.

I agree, though; she shouldn't be forced to drop out. I just hope she accepts and supports him after it's all over so we can all make up and beat the old man this fall.

[scheming daemons]

24. If Hillary were a stock, she'd be Bear Stearns.....

http://www.intrade.com


She's down to 15 per share, man.... Obama's selling at 83.


It's over, pal.

[Voltaire]

37. Be honest with yourself

If the shoe was on the other foot, what would you say? What would HILLARY say?

[StevieM]

84. Hillary would get creamed if she called for Obama to drop out when he had 49% of the vote

She would be excoriated by the press if she outspent him 2 to 1 in Ohio and lost by double digits. She would never get away with claiming--for the first time in American history--that the so-called pledged delegates are what decided the race. And if she was ahead due to doimination of caucuses, but wound up losing the delegate count from states that held elections, then everyone would say that "the elites" handed her the nomination on a silver platter, while the voters preferred her opponent.

Steve

[Hepburn]

57. So, Steve....

...welcome to the DU. How about showing your profile and donating?

[bhikkhu]

21. She has every right to show her determination, but I agree

We are well into a serious "Emperor has no clothes" period. I think she really has no idea how she appears to most people now, and her supporters are either full of praise or mum.

[Beacool]

25. She's like the best candidate and would make a better president

than the candidate you support.

[Alexander]

27. Then why is the "best candidate" 130 delegates behind a first-term US Senator?

[Beacool]

28. The best not always win.

In this country we tend to vote for candidates for superficial reasons. Obama oozes charm and charisma, which is what he has used to coast this far in politics. It sure as hell hasn't been through hard work in either senate. Emil Jones, Rezko, Axelrod, are jut some of the people he should give eternal thanks to for his rapid success.

[indimuse]

40. ..

there are many reasons,not like you'd care. when Obama's truth is revealed...let's see how much support he has.

[cliffordu]

76. You folks keep saying that...like you're saving something up

"when Obama's truth is revealed....."

Wha??? the mark of the beast???

Like that??

Bring it. If there's anything out there, bring it.

:hurts:

[SwampG8r]

45. she

isnt the best then
since you say she is only "like"the best
so by extrapolation of this premise
you are a mc cain supporter?
since you say obama isnt the best and she is "like" the best
am i wrong here or are you bending logic again today?

[Bluebear]

30. Bald, 50 year old, over the hill, senile.... more unifying, inclusionary rhetoric

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. What? She is nearly tied, and you want her to quit? Why?

Not everyone has had a chance to vote. Why do you want to stop the process?

[shadowknows69]

32. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha

Nearly tied, that's rich. Why do we want her to drop out? The general election, or is that not important to you?

[Hepburn]

60. "Nearly tied" =

L-O-S-I-N-G. Get it?

[DemVet]

33. Yeah, how dare she stay in and give the other ten states a chance to vote.

[snooper2]

53. Cause the first 40 don't count right?

:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

62. Yeah....

...never too late to keep losing and destroying the Dem chances in the GE.

:puke:

[redqueen]

66. You do know they'll still get to vote, even if she drops out, right?

[shadowknows69]

80. They don't seem to grasp that fact.

Or that very few contests actually go to the convention without a presumptive nominee. We shouldn't let things like historical precedence or smart general election strategy get in the way of Hillary's futile quest.

[redqueen]

83. What amazes me is that so few seem to stop and think

before regurgitating the laughable talking points.

I guess they aren't too concerned with looking like fools.

[Darth_Kitten]

35. Yeah, why won't the strident bitch just leave, eh?

:sarcasm:

THIS is pathetic....why would or should she drop out? It's not some kind of cakewalk for the Obama groupies?

[indimuse]

39. ..

I see you hate democracy...AW!

[dogday]

44. Did someone reach 2025 overnight?

By the rules of the DNC, one candidate must reach 2025 before being declared the winner... That has not happened and although I believe Obama will win this race, Clinton has every right to keep on going....

[IsItJustMe]

46. Some people don't know when to say enough. Tragic in a way.

[jobycom]

48. Yeah, because letting voters decide things is so unDemocratic.

Gods, last election everyone was whining that the primaries were decided by a handful of meaningless states in the first month of the primaries, now they are whining that the election is coming down to the wire.

It takes two candidates to prolong an election. Obama could drop out, too, if he thinks democracy is such a bad thing. Given that he wins caucuses in states where he loses primaries, it's clear his delegate count doesn't represent any real popular vote edge, anyway.

[Qanisqineq]

50. yes, democracy is so pathetic

Allowing everyone to vote and have their say is just pathetic.

:sarcasm:

Actually, what is pathetic is the insistence that Hillary drop out. If Obama supporters are so positive he is going to win the nomination and the GE in November, then why do they act so scared and demand she drop out?

Pathetic.

[JackORoses]

58. She's like Donnie, constantly out of her Element

or like a Nihilist who believes in nussing.

[Erin Elizabeth]

59. She also reminds me of newcomer Penelope...

[zulchzulu]

64. Wait until after PA...

She will lose and then will be shown the door.

[The Night Owl]

77. Um... A professor emeritus is, by definition, a professor who is retired. {EOM}

[Bigleaf]

78. I dedicate this great old Rush song to Hillary.

"Losing It"

The dancer slows her frantic pace
In pain and desperation
Her aching limbs and downcast face
Aglow with perspiration

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire
With just the briefest pause
The flooding through her memory
The echoes of old applause

She limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door...

The writer stare with glassy eyes
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision

And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more...

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee...
