I admit it. I still fear a HRC presidency

[mdmc]

It pains me to say so, but it is so.

[Zavulon]

1. If it picks you up any, you're not alone. I do, too. (NT)

[Maddy McCall]

2. Maybe Dr. Phil can help you with that.

I believe that there are quite a few people who support Obama so fervently because they hate Hillary.

[Zavulon]

6. I can assure you there's at least one...

...and that would be me. Still, I was happy and proud to vote for Obama today anyway, Hillary involved or not.

[mdmc]

10. Agreed

I never thought of voting for ANYONE other then Dennis Kucinich. But once it looked like BO could stop HRC, I fucking donated cash to him! And voted for him too.

I used to be the biggest HRC fan.

[New Dawn]

15. I voted for Obama to punish the Clintons

Here is why:

* NAFTA
* Welfare Deform
* the Telecommunications Act of 1996
* the "Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996"
* the Iraq economic sanctions that killed over 500,000 Iraqis (mostly children)
* the bombing of Iraq, Yugoslavia and Sudan during the 1990s
* Hillary's vote to authorize Bush's illegal attack on Iraq that has killed over one million Iraqis

[NorthernSpy]

28. Me too! Obama is a nice guy, but I'm mostly thrilled at the opportunity...

... to punish the Clintons.


:toast:

[onehandle]

3. As long as it's a Democrat. nt

[Frances]

4. You remind me of all those people who feared a Gore

presidency.

Believe me, a HRC presidency would be far better than a McCain presidency.

Think war. Think Supreme Court justices. Think stability of character.

[pocoloco]

5. Better worry about a HRC nomination

you'll never see a HRC presidency!

[bluestateguy]

7. I don't fear a HRC presidency as much as I do an HRC candidacy

She makes all those right wingers froth at the mouth and ensures that an otherwise depressed Republican base will turn out and vote.

I'm sure she'd be a good president, but then again I'm not really up for the Clinton Wars II either.

[dailykoff]

8. Me too.

She can't win clean, but neither could W, or Nixon either for that matter.

[MADem]

9. You fear too much. It's a waste of time.

[mdmc]

12. :)

I also promised to stay out of GD:p - it makes me too negative.

[dailykoff]

13. Nobody expected her to win NH but there you go.

Basically we're still at the mercy of the vote counters. That's why I think Texas and Ohio are supposedly "firewalls." It is well to be wary.

[paulk]

23. kind of makes you wonder

doesn't it?

[jpak]

11. Please - tell us why?

:popcorn:

[mdmc]

16. I fear another 8 years of gop-lite dlc triangulation

:kick:

[salin]

18. which of course is much worse than... McCain's bushisms on steroids?

:shrug:

[mdmc]

19. Mac know what it is like to be tortured... he knows the hell of war

HRC would need to be an uber hawk to ensure reelection.
HRC talked up the threat of Iraq and Iran.
She would need to kick ass and take their gas.
Mac might sing bomb Iran, but I doubt he would send troops into harms way to win an election.

HRC (or Obama, God willing) will get my NYS electoral vote.
I for one, don't fear Mac at all.

[BlueManDude]

21. you are delusional. mccain will be just as bad as bush.

[mdmc]

22. We know that we won't get a real deal for working people any time soon.

Perhaps the sheeple will see the light after another 8 years of neo-con rule.

I know many supporters of Mac... of HRC... of Obama... none of them really want a real deal, a new deal with teeth.

Anyway, I doubt Mac can beat either HRC or BO.

[BlueManDude]

24. McCain opposes ban on waterboarding..,.

14. HRC is history tonight - March 4 for sure

[Thepricebreaker]

17. Bush Clinton Bush Clinton - No thanks - time to make a pitstop for some real hope! n/t

[BlueManDude]

20. I fear a HRC nomination. There will never be a HRC presidency.

[GOPBasher]

25. As an Obama supporter, I don't fear an HRC Presidency, but I do fear

an HRC candidacy. This is simply because I think she gives us the least chance of winning the general election. If she did win the general, however, I think she'd make a very good president.

[Jed Dilligan]

26. I do too. Her husband's years were very bad for me.

[Marie26]

27. Why? nt
