OMG --- Have you read the DM Register's comments rolling in re: the endorsements?

[snowbear]

I believe they're up to 37 pages or more and a good majority of the people writing in are LIVID.

There are a few people popping in to show their support - but there's far more people stunned by not only Clinton, but with McCain as well

The comments start right after this article ------ (37+ pages)

1. Yes, the McCain endorsement is what made DMR irrelevant

[BenDavid]

2. like here on the du with obama&edwards supporters LMAO

[annie1]

5. It's weird, i'm in nyc and so far people i ask are totally ok with HRC....

i'm suprised by the massive hate. could be because she's our senator though. but still. yikes.

[sandnsea]

6. Well you voted for Giuliani and Bloomberg too

So maybe that's the difference.

[annie1]

9. you are so truly insane. do you plan on trolling me by calling me a republican?...

?

[sandnsea]

14. Did Democrats not vote for them in NYC???

I'm confused. How did they get elected if NYC Democrats didn't vote for them?

[annie1]

25. Oh, you're talking about my state! lol, i thought you were talking about *me*. lol..

Yes, NYC, i cannot understand how we voted for that steaming pos Giuliani. i can only apologize to world. that man is ----

BUT, Bloomberg is a democrat, He pays kids out of his own pocket to keep them in school, and is a great mayor. We all know he's been a democrat his whole life, switched to being a republican so he could win the nom, b/c he couldn't as a dem, the seat was taken. He's got a 75% approval rating, b/c he's a great mayor. Don't bother pigeon holing him as a pub, he's crazy into education and the environment, raised taxes to give teachers and cops raises, staunch anti-death penalty, donates money and equiptment to the city, moral dude. i didn't vote for him the first time, can't remember about the 2nd time, but wish he could be our mayor again. I'm not saying he's perfect, but he's a great mayor.

And i'll never understand for the life of me how giuliani won. the worlds only saving grace is that he is falling in the polls.

[sandnsea]

34. That is good to hear about Bloomberg

I wasn't sure what he was actually doing in New York because some people's idea of liberal is way different than mine. I live in Oregon. I have noticed people accept things as normal that people out here would be shocked at. We will never think of our forests as tree plantations that are supposed to be perpetually harvested, for instance. We also don't seem to be as punitive as some regions, and I've honestly never lived anywhere that the hospitals turned people away for medical care. So I think people have a very different vision of what government ought to be.

[aquart]

10. Jaw. On. Floor.

As with Bush, it never pays to believe you've hit bottom. I'm actually shocked.

[sandnsea]

15. That NYC voted for Bloomberg and Giuliani?

:shrug:

Yeah, it's pretty shocking to me too, but it's still fact.

[Kucinich4America]

17. Fine. you can keep her then.

Have her for a Senator as long as you want, and spare the other 49 states.

[annie1]

26. I'll be honest, i almost wish she weren't in the race...

she is skewing the race. If she were not in it, i think the race would be more honest.

[Cha]

30. Well, I'm in New York and

hillary has done nothing but disappoint me for the last five years..so, no, I don't think she's presidential material. All she's done is enabled the bushits and their policies..ifI wanted a repuke as my senator I would have voted for one.

[oasis]

20. Obamamites make whine out of sour grapes.

:nopity:

[Cha]

31. Yeah, hillary is a fookin'

sour grape, alright.

[Cha]

29. I'm sure you are..

"laughing your ass off".

[annie1]

3. dammmn, i'm glad i'm not that angry, it looks uncomfortable.

[Cha]

32. Fortunately, it's

not about you.

[gateley]

4. I don't know if this has been posted, but here's the Des Moines Register's

reason why the others WEREN'T selected. Same type of comments, by the way...

http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/NEWS/71215022

[annie1]

11. From what they wrote, they should have given it to Biden.

[gateley]

12. Honey, you read my mind! :-)

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[rucky]

24. Wow...they counted out Edwards, Obama & Richardson

for being too ambitious.

They counted out Biden & Dodd for being too accomplished in Government.

They counted out Kucinich completely.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. And if they'd endorsed

the "right" candidate, you think nobody would post in complaint? That's silly - of course there will be be people bitching and moaning, no matter who they endorsed.

[ClarkUSA]

8. Wow, must read! Boy, we know McCain and Clinton are bound to win now with the DMR at their side!!

Thanks, larissa. After reading them through, I am sure to go to sleep chuckling. :D

[Lucinda]

13. I see the In Your Voice section...but no commentary.

Do you have to be registered?

[unhappycamper]

16. No, but you need to have Javascript turned on. n/t

I also accepted end of session cookies.

[rAVES]

18. What do you expect? they picked the worst candidate.. absolute bottom of the barrel candidate..

[Red Zelda]

19. Dead tree media endorsements are worthless

[Evergreen Emerald]

21. my guess is that many of those responses are from people here on DU

I recognize a few of them.

[Cameron27]

22. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

[LostinVA]

23. Yup

[K Gardner]

27. LOL.. well, at least we're a vocal group ! n/t

[Maddy McCall]

28. Not until this thread was posted.

I saw the comments before this thread was posted. It's easy to distinguish exactly when DU comments started appearing on the DMR board.

[MethuenProgressive]

33. ObamaNation's outrage is well organized.

No doubt most of the hate mail came straight from Obama's HQ.
