2. I'm hoping they get released early, so that cable networks can pick up
at least a little of what they're about.

9. LOL, I dunno...
you tell me how it feels
to have ones head up ones
ass. I bet that hurts.
The only feeling I have about
it is disbelief....disbelief
at how antagonistic supporters
of Obama are.

17. I would be in disbelief too if i saw 20 point leads washed away in 2 weeks.
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 10:50 AM by landonb16
I am sorry that HRC played to the right and got burnt. She wanted to build up her resume and play hard, vote for the IWR, serve on the Armed Services Committee, Yea on Iran amendment. Think, if she would have been fighting for health care the last 6 years where she would be now.

Bottom line, Obama is out playing her, you do not have to be up anybody's ass to see that.

Maybe she will pull this out, maybe she will not, but do not go around blaming us because HRC'c campaign is failing.

33. Where have I blamed you for her
campaign? I blame her campaign
managers for being stupid and I
also blame the media. I do not
blame people for supporting Obama
as long as they do it realistically,
not like he is the new messiah and
without sin. He is a politician
after all.
My disbelief stems from how quick
democrats are to jump on the bash
Hillary bandwagon after having the
repukes and the media do it for sooo
many years. Let the media have that
many years to rake Obama over the coals
and scrutinize every single fraction of
his life, and see if they do not go
negative on him just like they do all
Dems in the long run.

23. Hello? This was obviously a thread from an Obama supporter asking a
legitimate question. Not flamebait, not antagonizing Hillary. You jump in and start insulting us and Obama, and then call US antagonistic?

I'm sick of this crap. Expect to get what you give.

I could give it every post and
never catch up to the record you
have of hateful, inflammatory
posting on DU. Just because I
do not normally respond to you does
not mean I have not read your bias
clearly here for weeks.

She gave Obama a perfectly-timed gift... all wrapped up nice and pretty.

6. You do understand the difference between "copying" and "responding to", right?
And speaking of copying,

YES SHE CAN! YES WE WILL! :eyes:

8. Bob the Builder said it first.
:eyes:

One can respond without copying.
One can come up with original ideas
if one is so inclined but, we all
know how Obama continually says, I
agree with Hillary at the debates.
An original he is not.

12. His originality
is his intelligence of going positve at all times while Hillary and her followers flail away with Rovian tactics. Now we all know she's going down can't she at least go down without taking the whole party with her? enjoy your candidate last 2 days of relevance.

15. Hillary will still be relevant after this.
Unless something happened she
still is a Senator and will go
back to that, which she does
really well. I think that she
will continue to be relevant in
the political scene. I hope you
are as vehement in your bashing
in others of 'bringing down the
party', like Liebermann---who
Obama campaigned for.
I for one, cannot see how allowing
American citizens their right to vote
for whom they choose is in fact,
bringing the party down. That meme
sounds Rovian to me. Deny the voters,
their voice is irrelevant. Give it
to Obama and tell the rest of us who
have not yet had their primary that our
choice does not matter.

18. Look I'm not being vehement or nasty
All I'm saying is when I see things like the "Muslim Smear" how is that even close to defensible?
I'm not saying she can't attack his policies, but when she plays on the base racism in people, she ceases to be relevant in my eyes and many others also. I really hope she does keep her senate seat, but this race is over she just doesn't have the numbers. My question is and remains why not go down with some dignity?

22. She defended him against the Muslim smear.
Every Obama supporter ignored the
comment that was clipped off of the
youtube clip. She sympathized with
him being the brunt of a smear campaign
which she herself has been the victim of
many times.
The interview fed her a baited question
that caught her off-guard. Since when did
taking anyone at their word become a bad thing?
I thought saying you believed what someone
says was supporting their position.

26. She defended him
Like Bush defended Kerry on the swiftboat ads. I know you're not that gullable. Everyone with a lick of sense knows whats going on here, I'm not saying she doesn't have good policies, but she needs some work on being a intelligent human being who brings us together instead of tearing us apart. I know you have to cling to your oppinions, but I just wish her advisors were not so Ro..., I'll just say I wish she'd run a cleaner campaign, it's looking more than a little desperate.

28. It does not matter what she does...
Obama supporters have thrown
Hillary under the bus. Wait
until the media has had 10+
years to dig and smear every
iota of Obama....like they have
done Hillary. Maybe you will
have a little bit better idea about
how the media TELLS us what our
perceptions are by how they present
the issue, by how many times they
present the issue and by what spin
they put on the issue.
Obama was not even a big pick on
DU to begin with, he did not get
the push to stardom until he was
fed to the masses as something new.
Something new for the fad followers.

34. who's the fad follower?
Why not address the reality of Clinton swiftboating Obama? Because you'd rather make up this fantasy of Hillary being thrown under the bus. It doesn't matter what facts I present. Have a good one, but I do believe it's over tommorow. Give me this though, if she loses one of the big ones tomorrow (Texas,Ohio) should she then bow out?

36. The reality of who swiftboated who can be
argued 'til the cows come home. It
is politics. Smears happen. My point
about the Dems throwing Hillary under
the bus refers to the voting citizens,
not the politicians on the Hill.

" Give me this though, if she loses one of the big ones tomorrow (Texas,Ohio) should she then bow out?"

I am not a political strategist nor a political
analyst so I cannot say. I can speculate but
but it would be opinion only and my opinion is
not too welcome around Obama supporters so, I
will pass on that one.

27. Just for the record... both Bill and Hillary Clinton campaigned for Joe Lieberman.
Hillary even went the extra mile and co-sponsored Lieberman's video game rating legislation.

29. Obama is supposed to be 'different'.
He is supposed to be 'better' than
Hillary. Just another example of how
he does everything she does, the difference
is media and campaign manufactured.

You may continue with your meme at will, though.

35. I saw no error in my post.
I saw no error in your post.
Why do you feel the need to
say I said something that was
not factual and that you 'corrected'
me. I saw you add facts, not dispute
mine. My post was about how he is
supposed to be soooo different yet
he is not. He is the same thing in
a shiny new package.

You may continue with your self-congragulating
adoration and validation at will.

24. It was Bob's motto first.
Unless Obama was trying to
lock up the pre-k vote, I think
he should have been more original.

19. Obama has copied everything.
Campign, speeches, positions,
is there anything original about
him? Other than he claims to be
supportive of LGBT issues but
lets McClurkin speak, he claims
to be against the war but, he
continues to fund it, claims he is
against NAFTA but votes to expand
it. Nothing original, typical politician.
