My little "olive branch": special t-shirt for Clinton supporters

[democrattotheend]

Hey all. So in the spirit of party unity, I made this t-shirt for Clinton supporters who plan to vote for Obama but still want to advertise your support for Hillary:

?action=view&pid=235705274939668206&max_dim=210&rvtype=pre&pdt=shirt&bg=FFFFFF&side_front=horz&style=ladies_fitted_babydoll&color=white&size=a_l&context=khankins&view=front&view_auto=1.3&square_it=true

You can buy it at http://www.zazzle.com/hillary_has_my_heart_obama_has_my_vote_t_shirt-235705274939668206?rf=238653457971405551 and in the spirit of party unity, I will donate any royalties I receive from this t-shirt to Hillary's debt relief.

I'm happy to put the design on other products like buttons too, and I'm open to suggestions on the wording and design.

1. I like that! I'm not one of her 'base', but I really like that! n/t

2. Very nice!

3. I like that. How about a bumper sticker?

I'd be perfectly willing for you to donate it to Obama's campaign -- but after we get Obama in office, then I'd like to see efforts to get her debt paid down.

Debt can be paid back six months from now -- when President Obama takes his oath of office.

16. Just added one

Couldn't make it look good with the picture though, so it's just a blue background with white text. I wanted it to be easy to read on a car bumper. I also added a button and a couple variations of the t-shirt.

4. Very nice. I sent the link to a friend who is having a hard time adjusting to Obama.

She actually threatened to vote Republican if Obama didn't choose Hillary as his running mate. I slapped her, put a mirror in front of her face and said, "See that nose? It's a nice one. Don't bite it off." (Just kidding...:evilgrin: )

Nice gesture, and I like the shirt.

12. are you sure your friend isn't a Republican mole?

A lot of people here would have us believe that those threatening to vote for McCain b/c Hillary didn't win are Republican plants...

5. That's great! Realistic, in touch---

and supportive of retaking the White House! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

6. $33 for a t-shirt?

I like some of the designs but that's a bit pricey for just a t-shirt.

[democrattotheend]

10. They have different shirt options. Some are much cheaper

You can change the shirt type before you order and there are some much cheaper shirts you can pick.

7. I want a shirt for my puggie

Pugs for Obama!

[democrattotheend]

13. I can make that on CafePress

They sell dog t-shirts, but unfortunately do not allow use of the Obama logo. I have a picture of a pug wearing an Obama hat...should I use that or do you just want the words?

8. don't worry that pretty little head of yours Missy

9. This post is an excellent example of the hard reality of DU.

No matter how nice, now well-intended a post, there's always going to be somebody who comes along and shits all over it.

:eyes:

11. Huh?

I don't get what you're trying to say here? And FYI, I am a woman, and I found myself feeling pretty sad when Hillary dropped out even though I supported Obama.

14. What the hell is your problem?

:mad:

[Marrah_G]

17. That was not the meaning at ALL.........The primaries are OVER

:nuke:

18. Are you sure you posted in the right thread?

That didn't make one ounce of sense!

If you did- you missed the OP by a mile.

:wtf:

20. I guess it's a girl thing...

And clearly, you don't understand.

That t-shirt sums the feelings of many, even if you're not one of them.

Maybe it should have been the other way around. Obama has my vote... but Hillary has my heart.

Sorry. That kitchen comment was just tasteless. It's as if you're saying that anyone who supported Obama is anti-feminist, or traditionalist... or mysogynistic.

Bull-sh*t. I looked at her positions, I looked at Obama's positions. I left my mind open, because Richardson was my candidate. Obama's positions edged hers out for me. Not by much, but they did. And one of the reasons why is because he wanted to speak out for fathers, and I think fathers have been neglected far too long. Good, strong fathers enable women to be breadwinners without guilt. Advocates for fathers help them get the jobs they need to make child-support possible.

Not every father is a dead-beat. And I applauded his decision to put fathers on his platform.

And yes, I also supported him because he's half black. And my 82 year old mother, who was my first feminist role-model, set those roots aside, because she's been black longer than she's been a feminist, and she wants Obama to win. So yes, she swayed me.

And last... deep in my heart, I was more prepared to support Obama than I was to support Hillary. The way she won the New York senate seat left a very sour taste in my mouth. As far as I was concerned, it was silver spoon. On top of that, she voted for the war. And deep down, I realized that if it had been any other woman senator or governor, whom I felt had come by the position without a "husbandly boost", it would have been a harder decision.

But Obama had a harder road, and I think that's one of the reasons why I respect him.

Hillary is a gutsy woman who has broken unbelievable ground. But she's had an advantage unprecedented in US politics. Her husband is a reasonably popular past president.

Women who get where they are because of who their husbands or lovers are make me barf. If that makes me "anti-feminist", then shoot me. But as a black woman, I can assure you, very few of us ever have that kind of advantage. So, I'll always give more credit to Shirley Chisholm than I can give to Hillary Clinton.

If you don't remember her, she ran for president as a Democratic nominee back in 1972. Thirty six years ago. But darn... her husband wasn't president. Frankly, SHE had guts. Then, there was Elizabeth Dole. Married to an ex-VICE president... who wouldn't endorse her, and told her that he thought there were better candidates. After doing viagra commercials.

People act as if Hillary was the first woman to run under the Democratic ticket. Bull-sh*t. A black woman was first. And I'll keep pointing it out until I'm blue in the face.

Back in the kitchen? You can kiss my black feminist *ss.
