I am so looking forward to donating money to the DEM that challenges Hillary for her senate seat!

[OnlyObama]

It will be an honor to help some democrat take her seat.

And no, I will not donate to her GOP opponent!

[Oleladylib]

1. Idiots like to get on these bandwagons..it still leaves them idiots.

[OnlyObama]

2. That is Mr. Idiot to you! LOL

[DearAbby]

9. Snarf

Mrs.:spray: - :rofl:

[Oleladylib]

63. naw, just plain ole idiot.

[saracat]

3. But apparently it is too much for you to donate to DU? You are a fraud as well as juvenile!

[OnlyObama]

4. All my extra money is going to Obama now. Once you get a job you can donate to Obama also.

[saracat]

5. Pigs will fly! And I don't believe you!

[Joe the Revelator]

7. You know whats low and petty?

Insults about someone's donation status on DU.

I'd expect nothing less from you saracat.

[saracat]

8. The OP was low and petty. It is flamebait.

[Joe the Revelator]

13. No it is not. You just don't like the message. People have the right to support other dems in

in the NY primary. If Hillary has a challenger, I will happily donate to his/her campaign.

Just because you don't like something, does not make it "flamebait".

[DearAbby]

10. So you call people out if they don't have a star

next to their names?

[Maddy McCall]

18. Oooo....

Good point.

[angie_love]

40. some ppl dont' have the extra money right now to donate. how dare you call someone out based on

that?!

[Lerkfish]

6. spitefullness aside, this might be a strategically sound plan

Once she has made herself unelectable for ANY office, which seems to be her eventual outcome, it might behoove us to back a progressive candidate in her district, or else it will fall to a republican.

[tomp]

58. i backed tasini last time.

unfortunately, not enough others did. what will happen now that clinton is seen as beatable is that other "moderates" will step in and block progressives once again. you can take that to the bank. clinton has only ever been any good in comparison to d'amato, and that ain't sayin' much.

[Onlooker]

11. Karl, is that you?

Yes, good move. You're certainly wooing the Hillary Democrats Obama needs so badly if he is to beat McCain. Or perhaps you are a McCain supporter engaged in sleazy Republican tactics?

[Hepburn]

12. Abso-fucking-lutely!

I have said the same thing in several posts. I want her to NEVER be able to pull this bullshit again. If she is defeated in her next run for US Sen, that hopefully would put her totally out of the running.

[lastliberalintexas]

14. Positive energy would be better

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

[OnlyObama]

17. I am positive, I want a democrat as senator of NY who cares more about the party than themselves.

[lastliberalintexas]

24. Fine, but your money and energy would probably

be better used elsewhere in actual races. Clinton's probably got a lock on that senate seat for as long as she'd like. :shrug:

[saracat]

31. And as you aren't a New Yorker what frigging business is it of yours?

someone from MO has a lot od nerve judging a Democratic New York Senator.

[SwampG8r]

52. when her opponents are announced

ill be sending checks from florida to whoever challenges her
dont like it?
tough

[DearAbby]

15. People in office as representatives of the people

must always be answerable to the People, or they have their seat challenged. That is called democracy.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Cool. She'll be president anyway.

Donate away! She'll have already left the Senate for the Oval Office anyway.

[Gore1FL]

50. of the Hillary Clinton fan club?

[mdmc]

19. she will never be beaten here

ever

[BlueIdaho]

29. Never say never.

ever.

[mdmc]

55. very good point my friend

I would have bet my house that Spitzer would be reelected in a land slide.

[MoonRiver]

20. And once BO goes down in flames in the GE, I won't have to contribute a cent

to his Democratic opponent. His political career will already be caput. Maybe "I'm proud of my country for the first time in my life" Michelle can arrange a job for him somewhere. :rofl:

[uponit7771]

21. Same here if she keeps her shit up.

[Middle finga]

22. She's was only borrowing the NY Senate seat so she would have

some office experience for her presidential run. Since it seems like she will not reach her goal, she has absolutely no use for that senate seat.

[Hawkeye-X]

23. Any brave Democrat that'll declare the seat from the carpetbagger

gets my maximum donation allowable.

Hawkeye-X

[saracat]

30. Carpetbagger like Bobby Kennedy was a carpetbagger?

No matter what you think of her as a candidate she has been an incredible senator for NY! Which is more than can be said for Barack and Illinois!

[tabasco]

61. How do New Yorkers feel about her IWR vote?

Fucking up the most important vote is not what I call "an incredible job" and the New Yorkers I know agree.

H. Clinton has exposed herself as an unscrupulous liar and she WILL be challenged for her Senate seat by a real Democrat.

[saracat]

64. Crap. She supported our firefighters, our people, and our state.

[anigbrowl]

25. This is disruptive. Please stop it.

Being hyper-partisan is not a good way to represent Obama.

[ampad]

26. Good for you

I think New York deserves a progressive senator.

[OzarkDem]

27. So you're a Republican?

[jillan]

28. Enjoy your short stay.

[Skip Intro]

32. Why? Why do you hate her so?

[KansasVoter]

33. I don't hate her but the party cannot afford her ego any longer.

[StevieM]

41. delete (eom)

[Erin Elizabeth]

34. I don't live in New York, but as long as the Democrat

trying to take her seat is better than her (eg, not Joe Leiberman), I'm sending them money and giving them my support.

[StevieM]

42. Well then I guess it is too bad, Erin, that all this talk is nonsense. She isn't going to be

defeated. If there is an opponent--and there was last time--then it won't even be close. She will have an enormous campaign war chest, while most Obama supporters won't bother with some Senate race in NY. You might, but most won't. And NY Dems will continue to like Hillary--most already do.

In the mean time, I am not conceding this presidential race yet. When Barack is nominated at the convention he becomes the nominee, and not a day sooner. At that point I will consider casting the most unhappy vote of my life. You might want to consider the need for party unity before threatenting vengeance against a woman who so many of us love. We don't have to vote for Barack.

Steve

[Erin Elizabeth]

44. I don't care who you vote for.

Furthermore, you overestimate the amount of political goodwill she has left after this ugly campaign.

[StevieM]

45. Unbelievable. That attitude is the exact opposite of how you win elections. The arrogance of Obama's

people surpasses anything we have ever seen before, even in the McGovern era.

Steve

[Erin Elizabeth]

46. I don't work for the Obama campaign, dude.

I'm just a regular person living in Texas who happens to have voted for Obama in the primaries. Who you vote for or don't vote for in the GE is your business.

In other words, I'm not falling for your "oh you need to be nice to me and Hillary so I'll be nice enough to vote for Obama in November" game. It's just a little manipulation game and I don't play it.

[StevieM]

35. I hope she has a Dem opponent. I can't wait to see how unhappy the Hillary-haters are when

she destroys them and then handily wins re-election.

Steve

[KansasVoter]

37. Once again, not hate, jusr business. Save the party from her.

[StevieM]

43. Well then it's too bad that the effort to "save the party" will be unsuccesful. She'll win. (eom)

[Catherina]

36. A total honor. Welcome to DU n/t

[NJSecularist]

38. 2012 New York Democratic Primary: Hillary Clinton: 88%, Netroots Candidate: 12%

Or you could switch that to the 2012 Hillary Clinton for Re-election National Democratic Primary:

Hillary Clinton: 88%
Netroots candidate: 12%

[saltpoint]

39. Senator Clinton, who is likely to face the endgame in her bid for the nomination

very shortly, may decide she no longer wishes to be a U.S. Senator.

If she decides to try to keep her job, I am likely from afar to follow your lead and donate to her Democratic primary opponent, provided it is not some right-wing betraying weasel turd like Zell Miller.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

47. too bad baby.........I can see you're not from NY

[Beacool]

48. Keep reminding me why Obama won't get my vote.

Your candidate and his fanatic supporters are a complete turn off for moderate Americans.

[StevieM]

51. Their arrogance is astounding. We are watching a party collectively commit suicide (eom)

[Beacool]

54. Yep, we are!!!

Obama is not electable and they don't see it. The NC ad is nothing compared to what they have in store for him in the GE.

[Elidor]

49. She's pretty safe in her senate seat

It's hard to imagine someone winning a primary against her there. Not impossible, but highly unlikely.

[eilen]

57. She has never had a solid challenger to the NY seat.

Her wins have come very easy. If she runs against a Coumo or a Kennedy, she could be toast. She might even have some trouble running against Suozzi (although I'd prefer to have him in state gov't). I could even see her having a challenge from Bloomberg, who although technically a Republican was previously a Dem. I am sure there are other worthy candidates in NY that could challenge her. Plus the state party totally sucked up to the Clintons same way they made Spitzer the "inevitable". I hope we can get some new progressive blood into NY but NY politics is crooked as a summer day is hot and the machine does what it will despite the people.

[Toucano]

53. Pile on! n/t

[JoFerret]

56. Fools and their money are soon parted

Petty minded, vindictive, unhelful.

That's how the democratic party eats its own.
Don't do it.

[phrigndumass]

60. Disruptors and DU memberships are soon parted, too ...

Looks like the OPer got the TS Guillotine!

:rofl:

I would donate to Senator Clinton for her to remain a Senator.

[cascadiance]

59. If he's not in Obama's cabinet, I'm hoping RFK, Junior is in her seat instead!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

62. Oh Shut The Fuck Up Already. How Fuckin Stupid.
