I will use my 3rd post to give big ups to Hillary Clinton re: her handling of officer death

[wndycty]

To my fellow Obama supporters put politics aside in this thread and join me in giving kudos to Hillary on her response to the tragic death of the motorcycle cop. She is sacrificing important time on the campaign trail to visit the family.

Lastly, no matter what folks think of her campaign please no comments on her milking this, sometimes its important to do the right thing and she is doing the right thing.

1. It really has nothing to do with politics.....

this is a tragic situation and my prayers are with everyone involved.

[Raven]

2. I would have been surprised if she had done anything different.

I may not support her but I think she is a decent human being who raised a great child...I would not have expected anything less from her.

[Windy]

10. Agreed.I disagree with her policies, but she is a decent and kind human being. n/t

[northernsoul]

3. seconded

4. Thanks--that was very gractious of you (and i know we have had our smacks)

[babylonsister]

5. Very tragic, she did the right thing, and I had no doubt that she would. nt

[emilyg]

17. Thank you.

[zbdent]

6. has the RW media made the claim (yet)

that she had him killed?

You know, if she became the nominee, they would make the claim ...

[Clintonista2]

12. Nope, but some of her haters on DU have been implying it

28. That person apologized for that post, so I think it's best to let it go.

7. Thanks wndycty, you are one of the classiest Obama supporters here

I know there are many more but they're not as high profile as you, or as vocal as the nonclassy ones.

I've been working all day and not looked at news online or on TV. On a brief break I came here, saw the terrible news and the dismaying discussions surrounding it. I think I'll stick to work.

[Dinger]

8. Here Here!

I agree.:hi: :kick:

[wellstone dem]

9. agreed, nt

[Kajsa]

11. She is doing the right thing.

She cares about the people involved in this tragedy.

I believe in giving credit when credit is due.

:thumbsup:

[trueblue2007]

14. such a SAD...SAD tragedy. Hubby just told me about it.

this accident could have happened in relation to either candidate. Hillary is not personally responsible and I think she is nice for meeting with the officer's family. Either candidate would have done that.

[Kajsa]

18. That's so true!

They are both humanitarians and are emphasizing that
in their campaigns.

This is a horrible tragedy.

[stray cat]

13. absolutely a tragedy which should be shared by all people

using an incident like this to slander anyone is abominable.

[book_worm]

15. I have no problem with HRC as a person. She did what was right

[Abacus]

16. Indeed. /nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. Any Democrat Would've Done The Same. Course, That's Why I'm Proud To Be One.

Such a horrible tragedy.

[devilindisguise]

29. Anyone who is decent

would have. I am a democrat, but I know a lot of decent people and some of them don't even vote. It is traumatic for her, and everyone involved, I imagine. I saw a motorcycle crash several years ago, man and woman killed. People were gawking. Long line of cars stopped of course, for the police and ambulances. It was traumatic for me, and I didn't know the people at all. I just think it is always traumatic to see these terrible accidents. I've seen one in the last six months - saw the car aside the highway on a steep slope nearly in the lake. I was on my way to the hospital at the time. They brought the man there. He died. It's very, very upsetting for onlookers, and for Hillary since it was her campaign. I can only imagine what the officers family is feeling.

20. Hear, hear, my heart goes out to the cop's family, and I commend Sen. Clinton

for her response.

[jlake]

21. Thank you.

[tammywammy]

22. agreed

[Lisa0825]

23. She is doing the right thing...

and I expected no less from her in this situation. I have no doubt that she cares about the people around her, and that this tragedy has deeply touched her. I am very sad for the friends and family of the officer.

:(

[KhaOZ]

24. agreed

[rodeodance]

25. and a K for the afternoon crowd

[rufus dog]

26. If anyone is slamming her they are NUTS

Haters could make a case against Hillary no matter what, if she didn't cancel events she would be uncaring, since she did someone could claim she is an opportunist.

She did the right thing in a bad situation. No second guessing!

[rodeodance]

32. right----NO seconding quessing

[Redstone]

27. Good for her. And good for you, for your post.

Redstone

[Redstone]

30. Well, George W Bush would have done the same thing, you know.

Except that he wouldn't have meant it when he told the family he was sorry about what happened.

[Tom Rinaldo]

31. Nicely done, wndycty. Thanks for this n/t

[jillan]

33. Thank you for putting politics aside on this.

:hug:

[Blue_Roses]

34. Here here

yes, I totally agree.:toast:

[mudesi]

35. If she DIDN'T go to visit the family, people would denounce THAT

I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton, as anyone who has read my posts knows, but it seems like she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't on this one.

[fight4my3sons]

36. agreed

Thank you for posting this.
