"Do not go quietly into that Goodnight," Hillary!

[TheDebbieDee]

Keep fighting for that nomination until you've been mathematically eliminated.

Don't listen to those slugs that tell you that you're destroying the party, because they're liars! REAL Democrats want a President that will fight for them, not a President that wants to reach across the aisle.

[jgraz]

1. Yes, please continue. I think I saw a thread of dignity still clinging to your shoe

:eyes:

[TwilightGardener]

2. ...

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[NDambi]

9. Ha Ha

:rofl: her shoe? now thats funny

[NMMNG]

35. No, I think that was you on the bottom of her shoe.

x(

[jgraz]

37. You can't think this is helping her, can you?

[NMMNG]

40. Do you think you're helping your guy?

[jgraz]

41. He's not really "my guy". I think Hillary is embarrassing herself and hurting the party

This is not the image we need to put forth. She's letting her ambition overrule common sense.

[NMMNG]

42. Obama isn't exactly uniting the party

Though most of his supporters don't care to notice.

[jgraz]

43. I don't think most people would agree with you on the source of the divisiveness

Especially with the kind of performances we've seen from Hillary this weekend.

[NMMNG]

44. "Most people" being Obama supporters

But if the Obama supporters would step outside their self-righteous cocoons they'd see that many people, even those that don't support HRC, feeling very alienated by what is going on. And come election time they might just be writing in another name or even sitting it out rather than vote Obama.

[jgraz]

45. According to the polls, Obama supporters are "most people"

And I think he'll do well enough against McCain that a few bitter dead-enders won't matter.

[NMMNG]

47. Keep thinking that

But don't come back and blame us if McBraindead wins in the end.

[jgraz]

48. Actually, it's the Hillary supporters who are doing the most to help McCain right now

If Hillary supporters don't want to be blamed, they should stop tearing down our presumptive nominee.

[NMMNG]

54. Sorry, but I'm not bowing down at the altar of the Almighty Obama

It just isn't going to happen no matter what anybody does or says. He may be your nominee, but he isn't mine.

[jgraz]

55. So when he wins the nomination, you'll do ... what?

[NMMNG]

56. Write in or abstain

I cannot in good conscience vote for Obama.

[jgraz]

57. That's pretty weak, I gotta say

As much as I can't stand Hillary, I would have voted for her had she won. Your claims of "good conscience" seem a bit hollow -- I don't see how a Democrat follows their conscience and arrives at the conclusion you have.

[NMMNG]

58. Of course you don't

But then you're not me.

[Yael]

60. Why would we blame you?

The supporters of the camp who is giving McCain so many slam lines that the NY Times even says they can't tell if certain items are originating out of the Clinton or McCain camps...

The supporters who will sit home, write in or whatever as opposed to supporting our nominee...

Why on EARTH would we blame you all for a loss to McCain?

:freak:

[yourguide]

3. she's done more than reach across the aisle

she's reached into the pockets of lobbyists and has garnered over $750,000 in contributions from them to her campaign.

Much rather a little reaching across the aisle then reaching out to take money from the lobbyists - I think you meant fighting for the lobbyists, not fighting for us.

[TheWraith]

4. She has been mathematically eliminated.

She would have to win by 20 points in every remaining competitive state to just break even with Obama on delegates, let alone pull ahead or win.

And you imagine her being a president who "fights for you," but what you're really talking about is a continuation of the current political gridlock, where nothing gets done because of the 50/50 divide, as opposed to bringing moderate Republicans and independents over to our side in order to accomplish our goals.

[gerrilea]

5. ABSOLUTELY!

[TwilightGardener]

6. She couldn't fight off Obama, a supposed naive lightweight newbie. How would she fight the GOP?

It's Obama who's got the fight--he does it smart.

[polichick]

7. Don't go quietly, but do go with dignity. nt

[ChazII]

13. My son's basketball coach

had a similar saying. "Win with humility, lose with dignity."

[polichick]

16. That's an excellent guideline! nt

[yourguide]

25. eh the hell with that, she should just go

quiety, loudly, softly, shortly...I dont care how she goes at this point, she should just go.

[sellitman]

8. Lack of grace if you ask me.

She is behaving like Obama is Repiggy.

I find her act growing old.

Stick a fork in her.

[QC]

10. self-delete

[smoogatz]

15. Rage, rage against the

nerve of that Obama guy to actually run against you and win!

[QC]

18. He's running against me?

Lordy, I had no idea I was a candidate for the presidency. I guess I better go out and get something nice to wear.

[smoogatz]

22. If Nader can go out and nail down .38%, then by God, so can you.

And it probably won't matter all that much what you wear.

And no fair self-deleting before I could post!

[QC]

29. Well, I thought I was being a bit pedantic

pointing out the exact wording of the poem, so I deleted. I'm an English teacher, so being pedantic is something I try to guard against, lol.

[smoogatz]

31. Ha!

Me, too (English/creative writing). But I've decided to embrace my inner geek. Funny, I've taught that poem to two classes in the last two weeks...

What does one wear to run for president? Something in tulle, maybe...

[QC]

34. I was thinking something with a bit of Prussian militarism style,

in keeping with modern politics.

[ExtraGriz]

11. stay in til the end

i think we should let every state vote, and let all the voters participate....its democracy in action.

[mckeown1128]

12. The math show's that the election is over.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4714596&mesg_id=4736937

[bigtree]

23. A vote for Clinton is a vote against math!!

Why do folks hate math?

[smoogatz]

33. Because it's hard. And, in my case, so many math teachers

do such a crappy job of explaining it.

[whatchamacallit]

14. She's going to thrash and lash-out like the Mother Alien

until the party opens the airlock and she's sucked into space. Ripley for Obama!

[lligrd]

17. Go Screaming Into The Sewer Instead And Take As Many

followers as you can with you. Looks like that is the advice she has taken. Enjoy your trip.

[Forkboy]

19. You say "Real Democrats" like Repubs say "True Americans", and with the same intent.

:puke:

[TheDebbieDee]

28. I say "REAL" Democrats as opposed to the

unrepentant repukes Sen. Obama may be bringing into the Democratic Party, pulling the party even more to the center.

[The River]

46. Pulling The Party To The Center????

The "Party" is so far to the Right that it
can't even see the "Center". DK was the only
nominee who is left of Center.

The Center is where the people are. The ones who want single payer health care.
The ones who want out of Iraq, who want a stop loss on exporting jobs.

I don't think Obama cares where the "center" of either Party is.
He's going for the center of where the people themselves want to be.

[smoogatz]

20. Just go.

Enough of the DLC calling the shots. Enough of dynastic presidencies. Enough of the Clinton Show and all its bizarre and distracting drama. Enough of center-rightism in progressive's clothing. Enough of lobbyist-driven politics. Enough of more of the fucking same.

[bigtree]

21. I'll bet there are about 10 million plus Democrats who agree with you

I love the fight she's showing. I love the detail in her addresses. I love her fight for health care insurance for everyone.

[sfam]

24. Huckabee: Keep fighting for that nomination until you've been mathematically eliminated.

Why does this sound like the line from the OP?

[tyne]

26. Ya, keep doing

what your doing Hillary.

You've now done the unthinkable. The NYT has you going from angry to sarcasm. Nice framing.

Good job.

[nookiemonster]

27. By all means, please keep up the antics!

Obama in a landslide!!

:)

[IndianaGreen]

30. She is already mathematically eliminated. If she were a man, she would have been forced to drop out

But Hillary wants her cake and eat it too. She preaches equality, but she wants special treatment. As Jane Fonda observed, Hillary is the patron saint of the patriarchy. Her campaign will be as much a setback for women's rights as her miserable failure on health care was for health care reform.

[mythyc]

32. check it--- dylan thomas said gently.

but really, does not quietly, gently, whatever have to equate with undignified and hateful?

i'm blown away, absolutely flabbergasted that people are condoning this kind of behavior.

[TheDebbieDee]

36. You're right.

It is "Do not go gently into that Goodnight." Those are great words by a great poet.

[ORDem]

53. Gently? Quietly? Whatever. Just Go!!

[fightthegoodfightnow]

38. Slugs, Liars, and Destroyers

Oh..............good grief............... the politics of fear and division live on.


Maybe it just never occurred to you that folks are looking for something else.

[Yael]

39. Yes, by all means -- stay in and keep on keeping on.

I think they should use Bill a bit more too. There is still a shred of goodwill on the Clinton brand that has yet to be destroyed.

[DemGa]

49. It's really been such a nasty attack -- very passive aggressive

Nasty -- from the Top Down.

[Raffi Ella]

50. I'd say she isn't about to go anywhere.

This is not a woman that backs down from a fight easily.She is showing us all what she will do for us as President;fight like hell for what she believes in.

I just thank the stars she is on Our side!

GO HILLARY!

[greguganus]

51. Stay the course Hillary!

After all your antics, you would be lucky to be elected dogcatcher in any future elections.

[ORDem]

52. I'm interested in what the word "mathematically" means to you?

It's really totally meaningless in the way you are using it. Makes me thing you heard it on some AM talk radio show.

:dem:

[JimGinPA]

59. Slugs Like - Kathleen Kennedy Townsend & Jon Corzine...

They both said she should bow out gracefully if she loses Texas or Ohio.


:eyes:

[cliffordu]

61. Yes, sister, you keep it up until....

You hit zero on intrade....now at 17+ and plummeting Obama at 87+
