why does the entire Dem party have to placate Clinton and her supporters
Advertisements [?]
like they are spoiled 4yr. olds having a tantrum? Hillary claims herself to be as smart, tough, and capable as any man, why can't she take her ass-whipping and lose like a man? Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Gravel, and Kucinich all threw their hats in the ring and took their best shot. When it didn't work they thanked their suppporters, paid their debts, hugged their families and went home. They accepted that it wasn't going to happen for them and went on with their lives.

But, with Hillary, OMFG, the entire Democratic party has to coo and coddle and coax and woo her back from the edge lest she jump and take the whole party with her. WTF is this shit?!? This was the most important campaign of her life and she took it for granted and the 'new guy' out-smarted and out-hustled her. She made stategic errors and misspent her money and by the time she 'found her voice' she was too deep in the hole and there was no way out. THAT IS HER AND HER CAMPAIGN'S FAULT! Not the mysogonistic media or Barack Obama's. He read the rule book and beat her fair and f**king square!

I have had all I can stand of this 'she so tough, experienced'/'she's a victim' schizophrenic, have it both ways bs.

She lost. Like the vast overwhelming majority of the people who run for president. Most of them lose. She's in good company. One of her own supporters acknowledged that they 'lost this thing in February', yet we've had to indulge this three-month long act of rage(tantrum) against the Democratic front-runner and presumptive nominee. She's not crazy or stupid and I'm sure she can count. It's all about harming Obama, because it was 'her turn and he took her bleeping prize', wah wah wha! Act like a grown-up, show some dignity and think of the country if not the party and let's get on with this shit.
