107. Hillary forgiveness

I'm sorry, I just don't happen to be in the forgiving mode at present. Senator Clinton is on a scorched earth rampage and will say and do anything that will help her win. As a former athlete, there is a saying--"it's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." She is playing a dirty--anything goes game.

Unfortunately, Hillary thought she was a shoe-in for the nomination and therefore her votes in the Senate were to cover her ass against a Republican opponent, regardless of the consequences. Her vote on Iraq, on Iran (Kyl-Lieberman Bill) and her repeated statements that she would not hold GWBush accountable for his crimes against the Constitution and the American people were positions aimed directly at moderate Republicans to vote for her in the general election.

Unfortunately Bill Clinton did the same thing with GHWBush. Bush 41 was not held accountable for his crimes (Iran-Contra, BCCI, etc) and the Clinton Administration swept it all under the rug. If it wasn't a green-light for his son to commit the sins of the father and go well beyond those crimes, I don't know what is.

George W. Bush needs to be held accountable for his crimes.

Hillary must be held accountable for her pre-meditated votes.

Pay attention. STOP THE GREEN LIGHTS.

17. when Obama=Jimmy Carter,

Hillary 2012. And I think if such an event were to happen, Hillary could actually take the nod from an incumbent president. Because she, unlike Ted Kennedy, she hasn't inflicted a mortal wound on herself politically. ANd if this were to happen, I'd be out there to vote Hillary in the primaries again. But I hope Obama is successful, i mean he IS a democrat, so thats a help.

[Guava Jelly]

18. I love Jimmy Carter

And don't sell Sen Clinton or Sen Obama short :)

That thread is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen allowed to stay on the board.

27. I have good friends in both camps.

Lets just talk about Mrs.Clinton in this thread. :)

Very nice picture of her.

And GoPsUx is my favorite Obama supporter because of stuff like this. After feeling beaten up by all the nasty anti Hillary threads this sure is nice.

39. Hillary is tough...

...and has broken ground in this election cycle.

I will proudly cast my ballot for Hillary if given the opportunity to do so in November.

I am an Obama supporter.
















Now I'm off to find the equally inspiring and uplifting "Give Barack some love" thread started by MagsDem.

Obama is my first choice now, but no question I would fight for Hillary if she got the nod.

[anonymous171]

46. She did a good job tonight.

Besides the "denounce/reject" thing, she was quite calm and to the point. I was afraid she would go into "REZKO" mode, but I was glad that she kept her cool. She and Obama looked quite presidential tonight.

48. rec..

Obama supporter here who thinks Hillary is a very talented, intelligent, and strong person.. and also very beautiful to.

And of course.. If she ends up being the nominee, she would have my vote without question.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. Hillary is very smart and has tremendous talent.

Although it seems unlikely at this point, if she does get the nomination this Obama supporter will vote for her without hesitation. If she does not, I'd like to see her become the Senate Majority Leader.

[izzybeans]

50. Obama supporter for Clinton

Accomplished person. It's unfortunate her husband had to come first. I just don't vote for dynasties, unless the GE forces my hand on that one.

[lligrd]

51. Plenty Of Positions That Hillary Will Be Perfect For

She is a great role model for my daughter.

[fight4my3sons]

58. Obama supporter here who thinks Hillary is beautiful and

amazing. If she wins the primary I will support and vote for her in November.

[dommyluc]

59. I always loved Hillary...

...and I always thought the wrong Clinton got elected president. But her campaign has just pissed me off. As I have said before, when she ran for Prez she should have tried to ignore him totally, showing him great respect but focusing on the issues and the changes she would make to save our country after 7 years of Rethug destruction. She should have pounded Bush and his Rethug enablers and the Rethug presidential candidates constantly and without mercy - she had plenty of material to work with. But that stupid Mark Penn, who is the Bob Shrum of this millenium, thinks that this is 1992 and we want a return to that era. No, we don't. Americans want to move ahead. And Bill's big mouth and quasi-racist remarks from him and other staff members just pissed off a great many Dems. I was truly hoping for a Clinton/Obama ticket. I think that would have struck terror into the hearts of every Rethug neocon and Christianist in this country. But now I am supporting Obama. I only hope Hillary will campaign for him and the Dem party. Enough of this devisiveness from our party members. We must get rid of these incompetent Republican morons once and for all. They have destroyed our country, and we must unite to rebuild it. The majority if the American people are on our side. Let's get started by pulverizing that lying, corrupt media-ass-kissed John McCain.

[treehuggnlibrul]

60. She inspires me.

I supported Obama in our caucus, and I support him still, but if Hillary were to get the nomination, I'd be proud to vote for her.

On caucus day, my 9-year-old daughter brought a library book home from school for me. It was about Hillary Rodham Clinton as First Lady. We read it together, and I became so choked up that my daughter asked me why. I tried to explain what an amazing woman I thought she was. And she is. As a 44-year-old woman, who was 4 weeks old when Kennedy died and 4 years old when Dr. King died, I finally got to see a woman and an African American as the two top contenders on our party's ticket. I only wish that somehow I could have both of them.

66. As a Mom

I feel especially drawn to all of Hillary's Mom qualities, not only to her own daughter, but to so many other sons and daughters out there.

Good Moms can always spot other good Moms!

From an Obama supporter that will back the Democratic candidate, no. matter. what.

[kotsu]

67. Here's something to think about

for all who hate Clinton simply because you support Obama. Even if Obama wins, Clinton will still be a powerful player that will be desperately needed by his administration to clean up the mess of the last eight years. Obama can't do it by himself...he will need a lot of help.

Let's think about that before writing the next "Hillary is a bitch" post.

[Political Heretic]

68. As much as I have hated her tactics of the last week, I am still going to give this a kick.

Here's to a hard fighting, strong democrat who I hope will make a strong, courageous senate majority leader.

[DinahMoeHum]

69. She's my Senator and I've met her one-on-one at a fundraiser

back shen she was first running in 2000.

Personally, she is not the cold fish people perceive her to be on the TV screen. She came across as very affable and smart in our encounter.

:kick::kick:

[Sensitivity]

70. She needs to leave Bill and just go out and have some fun. Beautiful woman.

[terrya]

71. Thank you for this thread.

I have always liked and admired her.

She isn't going to win the nomination. But she was a damn good candidate, she's a fine United States Senator and she's served her constituents and this country with honor and distinction.

[Imperialism Inc.]

81. I was impressed by her performance last night.

I still don't support her and am not sure I really trust her but she is certainly a competent public figure and would be a fine president. Not exactly glowing, I know, but it is the best I can do :)

[Dinger]

82. What A Breath Of Fresh Air! Thank You!

[stillrockin]

83. I will definitely vote for her if she is the nominee.

[happygoluckytoyou]

84. FINALLY... thank you very much

the poll numbers do not well represent the fact that Democrat turnout for these votes has been MUCH higher than Republican.....

40% of 2 million (Dem) is considerably more than 45% of 1 million (GOP)

ASSUMING that the changes in registration and party affiliation are as reported, and that turnout for the general election mirrors the interest etc in the primaries...

ANY DEMOCRAT SHOULD WALK THIS THROUGH TO THE WHITEHOUSE

.............the GOP is working the BLOGSPOTS in an attempt to split the party and grow hate between the candidates and the candidate supporters........

EVERY SUPPORTER SHOULD LET HIS/HER CANDIDATE KNOW THAT THEY EXPECT A CLEAN AND HONORABLE CONCESSION SPEECH PUNCTUATED WITH "AND I PRAY THAT ALL OF MY SUPPORTERS NOW BACK THE WINNER OF THE PRIMARY--- NOT JUST IN GENERAL AFFIRMATION BUT IN LARGE AND ROBUST WAYS...
BECAUSE ONCE THE DEMOCRATS SWEEP THE COUNTRY, THEY CAN GET TOGETHER AND DIVIDE THE SPOILS"

[peacock]

91. I am sure they will

do that.

I think they should not just say that they "pray" their supporters do that but urge them to do so and be active themselves in the GE to ensure that the nominee wins and that we sweep the US House and Senate and all of the States´Houses and Senates.

Imagine our nominee, along with those who also ran this time, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich, Gravel and Gore and Clinton and Kerry and Carter and so one. Every last one of them sweeping all 50 states towards that goal.

We need to tsunami the Republicans all over the USA from sea to shining sea.

[Tafiti]

85. Strong Obama supporter here!

But if Hillary ends up pulling this off, I will not hesitate to vote for her. I think she'd make a fine President - I just happen to think Obama would be better. Regardless, every self-respecting Democrat needs to get behind the nominee no matter who it is. Fuck John McCain and the Republican Party. Period.

[mconvente]

113. Agreed 100%

Voted early for Edwards in NJ, now support Obama, would vote for Hillary in a heartbeat. It's not ABB, this time, it's a vote for a true Democrat, no matter who wins.


All you Hillary-haters can you Cheney yourselves.

[Annoyingly Logical]

93. Hillary is good for the country

She has always been the engine in the Clinton machine as any strong woman is in any good marriage.

Her public life is a model for getting things done, in the midst of a Conservative crapfest. Her record speaks for itself.

As an Obama supporter, if Hillary wins the nomination, I would be honored to cast my vote for her against McCreepy.

My hope is when the dust settles, she would be a good leader in the Senate or maybe even Sec. of State. :hi:

[nvme]

96. in light of the current situation.

with an economy (which has been fueled by robbing our own home equity and massive debt), Serious conflicts that need resolution, loss of prestige on the world stage, health care issues and host of other problems we face, she could lead. I am an extremely strong supporter of Obama. I do know that Senator Clinton would make a fine president. In the coming months and years it will be necessary to strongly support the our nominee. the Job of restoring America to what our framers intended by returning to the rule of law will not be easy. The republicans have a blood-lust for power and will not hesitate to seize it yet again. We must work together. I have had my issues with her and I will continue to be vocal. No matter how passionately I feel toward Barak I will fund politic and vote proudly for Hillary Clinton if she is our presidential nominee.

There's room on the O-boat!

We're brothers and sisters in the struggle to end the fascist corporatocracy of BushCo!

Among their supporters are friends of mine - great friends!

We WILL unite!

106. I try to be the change I want to see.

[LiberalLovinLug]

105. It's a shame

in a way that we have a competent African-American man and an equally competent woman running at the same time. One (Barack) is just more dynamic than the other, unfortunately for Hillary.

But because of the closeness of the race, there will be barbs thrown at each other. It is unavoidable, it's a competition after all. Its silly to not expect each side to take advantage of perceived weaknesses in the other and use those against them. I was hoping one or the other would emerge as the winner sooner though. You just know that if Obama wins, the GOP machine will be trotting out all the campaign jabs that Clinton fostered on the Obama camp, or visa versa, and use Democrat quotes to slam the Democrat contender.

So this thread is great! To show that all Democrats respect and admire Hillary Clinton, and we understand that she may have made mistakes, but her progressive accomplishments, even in the endless right wing fog of war against her, outweigh her blunders. And she would still make a great president, and failing that should be a big part of any new Democratic administration.

[Swamp Rat]

108. k&r

110. I have been showing Hillary some love for years.

Thanks for this thread. It is a very small start to the massive healing that will need to take place within the Dem party before the GE. Whoever gets the nomination is going to need the other candidate's supporters.

111. She's MY Senator - and I still love her...

114. I am an Obama supporter.

More importantly I am a DEMOCRAT! And so is Senator Clinton. While I don't approve of her negative attacks on Obama (considering we're all on the same team, I really wish she'd play a bit nicer!), should her campaign rebound and she becomes the nominee, she gets my vote.
And I thank her for supporting a blue collar working class stiff like myself as only a democrat can. Thank you, HRC!

[FedUp_Queer]

117. HERE HERE!!!!!

I'm an Edwards man, and, frankly, when J/E dropped out, I toyed with just writing him in. However, I watched a portion of the 19th debate and the entire 20th debate and thought how proud I was of these two candidates. I was like...DAMN, we DO have better talent than the GOP. I like Hillary's health care plan and, unlike many people it seems, she strikes me as sincere and feels the health care issue in her bones. Obama strikes me as someone who really feels community activism in his bones. I confess, I wasn't really a Hillary lover (still some things I wish she was different on). But after seeing these two debates, I'm very proud of Hillary and Obama. If Obama is the nominee, I will gladly pull the lever for him. If Hillary is the nominee, likewise.

One final thing. I asked my brother, and Ohio Air National Guard member, which one he is voting for, and he told me Hillary. His reason is that she really worked hard to make healthcare available to all Guard Members (whether or not they served in Iraq specifically). That told me two things: 1) as I've already said, I'm proud of her and 2) it underlined with double underline and bold who it is who really supports our troops.

And you know...for all the intensity and at times name-calling in these two campaigns, I take much pride and solace in the fact that we do NOT engage in any of the acerbic and just plain idiotic name-calling like the GOP showed with crackpot Bill Cunningham (before the McCain rally yesterday). So, I will put Hillary's or Obama's judgment and character up against McCain or any GOP candidate ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!

[LiveLiberally]

118. This thread made my day... Thanks

119. I don't have a preference

between Hillary and Barack. But I have great admiration and respect for her savvy and her accomplishments. She's lovely.

Power to our Dem candidate in November.

120. I've been inclining toward Obama

and just decided last night that he's the one.

And I'm glad to K&R this fantastic post of yours.

Clinton is a fine Senator who has endured countless attacks and smears, but is still fighting for what she believes.

Good on ya, GoPsUx. :applause:

[liberal N proud]

121. We could use some unity right now

It is exactly what the right wing and the media don't want or expect.

So let's show them how unified the divided Democratic Party can be.

[cameozalaznick]

126. Great Thread

If Obama gets this nomination in the end, I believe that all Obama supporters owe Hillary Clinton a big pile of thanks. Her presence in this race, her continuing to hammer him on this issue and that; the "kitchen sink" strategy, if you will, has caused him to become a better candidate. If he had cakewalked to the nomination as the punditocracy erroneously had him doing on the eve of New Hampshire, he would not have been as strong. It's like a butterfly exiting the cocoon. The very struggle against the constriction of the cocoon are what gives the butterfly's wings the strength to fly. Clinton has given Obama wings! And I predict she'll be a political force to be reckoned with for many years to come.

[David Zephyr]

127. I'm the Obama supporter who wants Hillary on our ticket. Nothing can change my mind.

She is one of the brightest bulbs in America and we are idiots if we fail to tap her talent.

[nankerphelge]

128. I'm am Obama voter...

but I love Hilary. Here's hoping she's one of Obama's Supreme Court nominee. She's too smart to be president. She needs to be on the court to balance out some of the Roberts/Scalia/Alito/Thomas nonsense.
