If this doesn't say it all...

[HockeyMom]

1. I have lost all repect for HER

As a woman, as my former Senator, and especially as Democrat.

[samsingh]

24. sadly - i have to agree with you on losing respect for Hillary

[Why Syzygy]

2. Hillary would be winning if Democrats were Republicans! says it all . 5th rec!

[progetto]

21. Too bad she's not running for the GOP nomination

Her logic is getting more tortured all the time. Must be blind ambition.

[WillyToad]

39. Her positions are pretty much exactly the same as Obama's

On everything

[beezlebum]

40. yeah, like obliterating iran.

[beezlebum]

71. to add to that thought posted in haste...

if her positions are SO similar to obama's, why doesn't she drop out, since he's pretty much the nominee? what does she think she is going to bring to the table that he won't? hostility perhaps?

[DutchLiberal]

50. That's true. Initially, I couldn't care less who got the nomination for this reason...

But her campaign has disgusted me so much, that I'm now really hoping Obama will win.

[delt664]

65. Her positions?

Such as the Democratic Primary process should be tossed out in favor of the Republican method?

What about the position that the Superdelegates should overturn the will of the people in favor of the second place candidate?

Are these the postitions you are referring to?

[bjobotts]

31. Come on, she said if dems had the same nominating system as republicans

[bjobotts]

32. You don't have to lie or change wording to make her look foolish

[DutchLiberal]

49. Maybe that's why she's running a 'Republican' campaign?

Playing on fear and issues like terrorism and war, trying to paint Obama as both weak and inexperienced?

[TheIronLion]

73. Hahaaaaa

I loved that line. I nearly fell on the floor.

[raystorm7]

3. "She's either Republican or Republican lite"

Mike Malloy made this obvious point on his Radio show for quite some time.
To Hillary supporters, I hope you are willing to be rescued by the Obama campaign sometime in the near future.

[bjobotts]

33. Now if you look closely, she's not that different than Obama on most issues

[bjobotts]

34. She's just more a part of the "money party", more like Michell Obama who

once Barack became a senator, applied to get on the boards of several major corporations. The greediest and most power hungry of all of them is John McCain who would do anything to be president...anything. Conservative in 2000, changed to moderate and wanted to run for VP as a dem in '04 and now back to conservative neocon to win favor of republican base to get nomination pandering to even the likes of John Hagee.
Any dem is better than McCain and his "more conservatives on the SC" and "More republican stooge in the DoJ. What a disaster...far surpassing a Clinton presidency. There is no way you can call Clinton a republican...not even lite...not when you look at Bush and McCain.

Republicans want us to divide and be bitter toward each other. They are trying everything to disrupt the dem party using the dem members to accomplish it. I vote democratic to elect a liberal SC and regain justice in our DoJ more than a president. Keep that in mind

[raystorm7]

36. Similarities on some issues are one thing, ACTIONS are another and what really matter.

If you want I'm sure someone can list her voting record for you. Not to even mention the people she rolls with.

[phrigndumass]

4. Hillary Clinton: The hypothetical nominee

:rofl:

[evolvingsteve]

10. lol

BURN!




:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[enough]

5. Possibly the best analysis of the situation that I've seen anywhere. (nt)

[pinkpops]

12. agreed

[billybob537]

6. Still spewing delusions to the kool aide drinkers

[Indenturedebtor]

8. Yeah unfortunatey

----------------------

After watching this I'm fairly well disgusted. To think that a responsible public figure who is supposed to be a loyal Democrat would behave this way on National Television! It's almost as though this is supposed to be some kind of joke.

But given the cockroach comment I know that HRC has no sense of humor. She's just a traitorous lying condescending DLC corporatist. Good thing the Primaries are over.

[MNBrewer]

9. What does THAT mean?

[GoneOffShore]

25. Yes, she certainly is.

[tnlefty]

7. "I think that I just threw up in my mouth a little bit"

Stolen from the clip on the Stephanie Miller show.

[sasquatch]

11. How many post until someone calls him a sexist?

:popcorn:

[Yes We Did]

13. You know it's coming.

[Binka]

14. Just So I Beat LulaDouche I Will

SEXIST! :sarcasm: :silly:

[DS1]

45. or drags up some gossip about his sexual performance

[goletian]

15. fucking disgusting how underhanded she is. - nt

[iamthebandfanman]

16. why more people dont realise how she is

is beyond me.

shes being incrediably selfish and childish about this.

[ihavenobias]

17. K & R

[marias23]

18. Hillary Has the Same Respect for Democracy As Bush

She wants to consider the votes she got in Michigan and Florida even though she (and Obama) signed an agreement that these primaries wouldn't count. She is contemptable.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

19. "The people who care the most."

Hint, hint.

:think:

[Bjorn Against]

22. Just as long as the people who care the most don't go to caucuses...

If they are activists that go to caucuses they shouldn't count, if they are activists who are the people that care the most that Hillary gets the nomination then they should count extra.

[Capt. America]

20. This woman is obsessed with power.

There have been a lot of good people that have run for the Presidency that did not win. They went on to lead happy, fulfilled lives. Hillary is fighting so hard to win that she is losing her soul in the process. Is it really worth it Hillary to lower yourself like a Republithug?

[angrypoet]

23. Great video

Why doesn't the MSM ever have this kind of analysis of the issues? 'fake' news is becoming more honest and true to 'real' news roots with every passing day.

[DutchLiberal]

51. The MSM isn't paid to deliver the truth. It's there to keep us happily uninformed.

So we vote for John McCain, thus insuring the parent-corporations of the MSM 4 more years of tax breaks and deregulation.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

26. Remember folks, caucuses are bad but superdelegates are very good!

Well, only if the superdelegates are supporting Hillary. If not then we're back to needing to change our system to the same as the Republicans use.

That concludes our lessons on the new and improved version of democracy in the Democratic party for today.

Tomorrow's lesson will be on how Democrats in small states should be excluded from all future primaries since Democratic candidates don't really need to win those states anyway.

[CANDO]

27. Oh sure, and Barack Obama is the "elitist"!

Super delegates are much more intuitive of the candidates, and therefore the voters are out of touch. They are "part of the process", but the super delegates know what's best for the party. Hillary, just go fuck yourself. Ask Bill for a cigar.

[jeff30997]

60. "Ask Bill for a cigar."

I'm pretty sure she haven't seen Bill's cigar in a long time.

[democracy1st]

28. amazing

[pedo]

29. "i mean activists... those are merely the people who care the most!"

hilarious

[GetTheRightVote]

30. she sounds so condescending, thank you John for an inside view

[neoteric lefty]

35. the reaction on this thread is more sad

than anything Hillary, Barack, or Jon Stewart can say, and this is coming from someone who likes both candidates.

[raystorm7]

37. A lot of people are tired of being complacent with HRC and DU is a good place to vent.

She's fucking around with yours and mine second box of freedom right now.

[GoneOffShore]

42. Could you explain why you say that?

Stewart is pointing up obvious discrepancies in what HRC has been saying and how she sees citizens - some are more equal than others.

[jettison]

55. I agree completely

It's kind of like when one of your parents makes a complete ass out of themselves in public, they should be humilated, but they don't even understand why everyone is now looking at them like some kind of periah. You love them to death, and you wish they wouldn't act like such a clueless jerk, but they have, and it's "sad". I feel ya...

[harun]

38. Damn what a lawyer, I am sorry folks but there is no way I could vote

for Hillary in any capacity at this point.

[Deep13]

41. Guess he knows who his audience is and where his bread is buttered.

HC isn't the one keeping FL out. She's not the one who one most of her states with undemocratic caucuses. She's not the one who tried to buy PA and OH.

[GoneOffShore]

43. Turn it around.

HRC would be buying as much air time IF she had the cash - which she doesn't. Her campaign has been a series of missteps and "misspeaks".

"Undemocratic caucuses"?

:wtf:

Florida and Michigan kept THEMSELVES out by breaking DNC rules.

Take your whining elsewhere.

[Fedja]

46. Bitter much?

/

[elmerdem]

48. No you are right she is not.

But you know what, neither is Barack Obama. That is the thing with you folks & FL & MI. I fully understand that people will be disenfranchised if the votes don't count, but an equal number of people will be disenfranchised if the votes do count from flawed primaries. NO matter how many times you try to imply it, Barack Obama had nothing to do with any of this. He played by the rules, still is. Hillary has tried to change rules, goalposts & anything else that would help her win/steal the nomination.

[cbaker3122]

53. Right on

Thanks for having the courage to stand up to all the Obama cult bullies on this site. I know its tough, but hang in there. There are those of us who refused to drink the Kool Aid too, and we are with you.

[jettison]

57. If by "kool-aid",

you mean a cool refreshing drink that fuels your brain with enough carbs to think straight then I agree with you. You are so right... "Don't elect a black man!!! Fear of a black planet!"

[frylock]

62. you guys are mainlining the kool-aid..

the projection from team mcclinton has reached epic proportions.

[jettison]

56. Hello Mr. or Mrs. Clueless

- Obama isn't "keeping Florida out". Florida kept Florida out. They were told as much before their illegal primary, but they did it anyway.

- Caucuses are "undemocratic" suddenly because HC didn't win them. If she did then you wouldn't hear anyone complaining about caucuses. You act as if Obama invented the caucus mid-primary, and then cheated his way to victory. He didn't. His campaign simply bothered to read the rules. If Hillary can't even do that, it's hard to argue that she could be "ready on day one" for anything.

- If Hillary wasn't bankrupt and deeply in debt, she's also be trying to "buy PA and OH". She'd spend just as much on advertising as her campaign finances allowed her. Obama spent money that was donated to him for the purpose of campaigning. That's what you spend campaign donations on. You don't hide it away for a rainy day and then withdraw the money in 2012. Obama's money comes from "the people", hence is record setting number of small donors. It's grass roots. Therefore, if anyone tried to "buy the primary" then it was "the people of America" who tried to buy it.

All of your talking points prove that you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

[Cheap_Trick]

64. and how did Obama try to "buy" PA and OH?

because he ran ads there? the bastard. He's not keeping FL out either, numbnuts. FL kept FL out by breaking the rules. Same with MI. What is it you don't understand about such a simple concept? Try living in reality sometime. It's a gas.

[TheIronLion]

74. How the heck are caucuses "undemocratic"

Like Jon said, they include the people most involved/interested in politics.

My favorite quote: "That sounds like one tremendous 'if you' to the process." I almost spit my coffee on my keyboard when he said that one.

54. Wow !!!

:wow: :crazy:
Before this primary began, I had a favorable opinion of Hillary Clinton, but as the primary as continued to slog forward, I now see I had the wrong impression about the woman altogether. She is all about Hillary. She will say, or do, anything to benefit her own self interests. It really saddens me.
:patriot:

[powergirl]

58. Effing Lever Pullers

That is my favorite line!

:rofl:

[The Call Up]

59. Obama should put this clip on his website.

I truly don't believe there is a single politician in our Senate or Congress that lies as much as Hillary Clinton. It would be easier to count her "truths" than to count all her lies.

How can people support someone who lies compulsively, and without shame? She gets caught, and she just moves right along with that smirk on her face and tells new lies. It's like she is patholigical.

[sonias]

61. "Activists - those are the people that care the most"

They don't represent the actual electorate, according to Hillary!

Damn those grassroots activists - if the Democratic party primary could just be like the republican's primary - this one would be in the bag for Hillary! :wtf:

As a grassroots activists, this is the craziest thing I've heard. We're not republicans because we're completely different. We have completely different values.

We have the power - to change America, and like hell I'm giving in one tiny bit!

GOBAMA!

63. I didn't think I could love Jon Stewart any more than I already do, but...

He is really outdoing himself this year! I can't wait til it's close to November! Eventually Comedy Central ought to put out a Greatest Hits of Election 08!

[Kaleko]

66. Clinton: "Ultimately, you have to be humble..."

Very true.

But I guess it all depends on what "you" means.

Let's see... does it mean YOU, or me, or y'all-everybody but me...

Oh, now you've got me confused, Hillary!

[gateley]

67. Well done. nt

[Kurovski]

68. The Daily Show writers really laid it all out, didn't they?

:rofl: "Pile of toast". "If you..."

Absolutely recommended.

And have you noticed how all the members of the Clinton Apoligista Squad are somehow MIA on this thread?

I guess they're too busy with snipers.
