Remember when Hillary told voters she didn't need their vote?

[elizm]

It was a year ago this month when Hillary was refusing to apologize for her Iraq war vote. At a town hall meeting she was pressed on the issue by someone in the audience and replied...

“If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or who has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from.”

That was her first mistake, IMO.

1. No. Because that isn't what she said. But how ADORABLE of you to

try to make it seem like that is what she said, so that you could gloat like a five year old with all the M and M's!!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. hey, I LIKE M&Ms.

MADem, are you knocking those of us who enjoy them?

[MADem]

3. Well, the OP has all of them, and is gloating about it. NT

[elizm]

15. Thank goodness for that ignore button! :) nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. (except the blue ones. can't stand the idea of what dye they used)

otherwise, orange, green brown and yellow M&Ms are still cool.

oh pleeeze, ignore me knot! I promise to behave. sometime. someplace. somewhen. somewhere. somehow.

5. What did she say then?

Since I don't know, I withhold judgment.

[MADem]

20. The quote is in the OP. nt

[Political Heretic]

26. Umm what? I thought you said that's not what she said?

Is it or isn't it?

[MADem]

28. Not the subject line, the message section. Are you dull of comprehension?

Actually, you don't have to respond. I already know the answer.

Keep working hard now, supressing the Democratic vote in November!!!!

You're doing a GREAT job of ensuring that Clinton supporters just might forget to vote in November!!

:thumbsup:

[babylonsister]

24. Well, there's quote marks around the quote at the link; who said it

if she didn't?

[MADem]

32. Are you working for McCain, too?

I'm shocked at how many McCainiacs there seem to be here, wiping their smug asses on the Clinton supporters, smugly flinging crap, and doing everything they can to incline Clinton voters to ... sleep late, stay home, go on vacation....on election day in November.

I certainly don't want to be associated with a group as meanspirited and frankly, stupid, as some of the miserable bastards I've seen here, so if the goal is to suppress the Democratic vote, it's working.

Anyone who has to be "vicious in victory" like some of the "supporters" (I won't say cultists, because that upsets them) certainly hasn't been listening to any Hope or Change messages for comprehension....unless they think it's all about HOPING to kick ass and CHANGING Clinton supporters into stay-at-home voters, or some such.


Keep up the great work. John McCain is incredibly pleased with your service to him!!!!

Psst--here is a clue for you--the quote doesn't match the subject line. That's the point that sailed so nicely over your head.

4. Wow, you really had to reach pretty far back for that one.

I think it's time to let that one go, ElizM.

[Political Heretic]

6. The wayback machine!

I've always liked that phrase, and I don't know why. :P

[Bucky]

12. I'm sure Mr Peabody & Sherman, his pet boy, have gone back and fixed this mess a coupla times

Do you realize back in 2008 we nearly elected a woman or black man president?

[elizm]

9. Heard caller on AAR say it was why he didn't vote for her...guess it does still matter. nt

[babylonsister]

25. She said that a year ago; I'm sure she wishes she could eat her words. nt

[ExtraGriz]

7. its how you interpret her comment...

i would take it as her saying to vote your conscience, or something like that.

[Johnny__Motown]

8. Honestly, No, I don't remember that. Got a link? or a vid maybe

[elizm]

11. Here is your link you wanted...

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/02/17/clinton-tries-new-approach-on-iraq-vote/

[jkshaw]

19. Thank you for the link elizm!

I remembered it, but didn't know the source.

[Johnny__Motown]

30. Thanks, bookmarked it for later use

[JVS]

10. whoa!

way to chase off voters

[Bake]

13. How many times have Obama's supporters told us they don't need OUR votes?

Because of all the independents and Republicans that will vote for Obama?

Bake

[elizm]

14. When did Obama tell you to vote for 'others'? Got a link? nt

[Bake]

16. You CAN read, can't you?

Did I say Obama? No. I said Obama's supporters, and if you think that hasn't been said around here, do a quick search and find your own goddamn link. Hundreds of times.

Sorry I'm not drinking your fucking Kool-Aid. People like you are the PROBLEM.

Bake

[elizm]

18. EXACTLY my point. Hillary HERSELF told them to vote for someone else!

I'm thinking YOU are the one who has the reading comprehension problem, along with an anger issue I might add. You have no way to defend her stupid statement so you go after Obama supporters here on the board out of desperation. Pretty pathetic. And oh, by the way, I didn't offer you any of my koolaid. :)

[Sapphocrat]

27. You read my mind. LOL n/t

[ButterflyBlood]

17. With that comment, Hillary lost ALL chance of receiving my vote.

Period. It went to zero. I vowed there that she was finished in my mind. And on Feb. 5th I did in fact vote against her for Obama, in a precinct that voted over 86% for Obama and a state that voted 2 to 1 for him. I kicked her ass for that comment and am very proud.

She must be punished for that. She must lose. It's the only way to show that you can't say crap like that without consequences.

[HeraldSquare212]

22. I accepted her invitation to vote for others also.

I read it as a big fuck you.

[cbayer]

23. I am going to post the quote because

I AM SICK OF PEOPLE GOING OFF ON OP TITLES!!!!!!

“I take responsibility for my vote,” Senator Clinton replied. “And it was a sincere vote based on the facts and assurances that we had at the time. Obviously, I would not vote that way again if we knew then what we know now. But I have to say that, if the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or who has said his vote was a mistake,then there are others to choose from.

“But to me, the most important thing now is trying to
end this war,” she said, drawing strong applause from the audience.

Please! Needs to be punished? Needs to lose? Kick her ass? Are you kidding me?

[Barack_America]

29. Good to know that I'll be voting for Obama with Hillary's blessing!

Thanks! Choosing someone who didn't vote for the war, or at least had the decency to apologize for having done so actually IS my top priority!

[meow mix]

31. seems pretty clear to me..

ill go with other.
