Hillary Clinton and the destruction of the Democratic Party
ONE Democratic president has been elected since 1980.

ONE.


Hillary Clinton, unless she gets what she wants, is hell bent on keeping it that way--even if it means destroying America's only viable progressive political party.

How fucking DARE you undermine possibly the best presidential candidate the Democrats have seen since JFK. SHAME.


FUCKING SICK

1. Silly Rabbit...
She's not a democrat - she's a Clinton. The only thing Clintons care about is power and money - in that order.

6. Clinton era was one of the best times in American history
It's seems many besides republican's hated all that peace and prosperity.

3. Apparently there is only one breed of Democrat allowed to be elected
And they are thoroughly compromised by the Bush Crime Family.

4. Your lack of confidence in Obama is disappointing.
I myself cannot see him possibly losing the nomination or the GE.

But I suppose people need to cover their bases when they have their doubts.

And accusing Hillary in any way imaginable is the best way to do that.

14. This is true, because I'm old enough that I remember back to Nixon.
So, that timeframe is accurate.

29. Why is he a fraud?
I really don't understand why he seems like a fraud to you? He is no more a fraud than any other politician is he?

I guess I really want to know where this hatred is coming from, I just don't get it. :shrug:

21. If he's so strong he should be able to overcome anything
In reality he's a hothouse flower, wonderful in a controlled politically correct environment, but extremely vulnerable when out in the real world. That's why the need to 'protect" him from reality.

23. Hillary destroyed the Dem party???
She has been doing it since 1980? Wow, go Hill! She has more influence and power than I thought! Does she get credit for winning both houses of Congress? How did Obama turn this nation around? Whats is the greatest single accomplishment he has to credit himself? I cannot name one.

30. Using Obama supporter logic in the sporting world
The Washington Capitals are a point (two depending what happens) out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference of the NHL, but if you apply Obama supporter logic to the fight for the eighth seed, they would want the Capitals to give up and allow the Philadelphia Flyers to keep the eighth seed and give up on the idea of winning their division from the Carolina Hurricane because they want to think about the conference unity because competition ruins everything .

And comparing Barack Obama to JFK
you might as well compare the Godfather to Hills have eyes.

41. "Inconvenient truths about the New Democrats, the Third Way, Democratic Leadership Council, etc.'
Unsane, your subjectline is supported in this must read archived GD thread from 3-7-2008. The DLC hates progressives, as well as the entire traditional Democratic base which it abandoned decades ago.
