Someone please explain the logic behind appointing a DINO/DLCer as our Dem representative?

[NoodleyAppendage]

What exactly is the logic behind appointing a Dem with SUPER HIGH negatives and who has proven to be a lap dog for the BFEE????

Oh, that's right. She's a woman, so that makes everything else in her sordid and pro-corporate bootlicking history moot. Jeesh.

1. Will the O-Bots ever stop whining? (rhetorical question, btw)

What's the logic behind electing an empty suit who cannot muster an ounce of substance and relies on a 1st-grader mindset of "vote for me because I'm not Hillary" ?

[NoodleyAppendage]

3. So you are comfortable with a candidate who enabled the Bush War? A candidate who is a DINO/DLCer?

I noticed that you didn't address my question.

Why vote for a candidate who wouldn't stand up to Bush?

Simple question. Tough to answer.

14. No, I'm not comfortable with a phony who's to the right of her and is an apologist for the regime.

Both candidates suck.

[Tarc]

16. Clinton is not responsible for the iraq War; Bush is

Go peddle your strawmen somewhere else, kool-aid sipper.

[NoodleyAppendage]

22. Oh, that's right. Hillary's not responsible for any of her BFEE enabling bullsh*t.

Go ahead and support your DINO/DLC Faux Dem candidate. I'll be laughing on general election day when she gets her ass kicked and you are faced with realization that your boneheaded support for her led, in part, to President McCain. Dumbass.

24. Pure slander.

Remember, your precious Obama agrees with her 90% of the time.

[Tarc]

26. /yawn

Faux outrage is so cute in the teenage years.

[jgraz]

2. Well, she does have one clear advantage

McCain will never be able to run ads where Hillary's primary opponent endorses his candidacy over hers.

[Bluerthanblue]

4. no logic- This isn't about putting the best person in the White House-

this is all about Hillary getting what she has wanted for a long time.

That hasn't happened yet- and if she gets the Nom. it may very well never ever happen.

But it won't be for lack of her doing whatever it takes.


Which is the sick, sad truth.

No whine- no tears- This is EXPERIENCE talking- and that's all that counts according to "Hill"- even if it is negative experience.


:shrug:


peace~

5. Amazing, isn't it? Simply amazing. I'm ready to call it quits. I'm about done with the Dem party.

n/t

25. Democracy too much for you?

Totalitarian government has everyone thinking only one way. I'm sure you'll be comfortable in one of them. After all, that's the appeal of the Obama "movement," isn't it?

Democracy, which you clearly despise, requires COMPROMISE. That's hard. REALLY hard. And imperfect. But people who REALLY want change, instead of just chants, do the work and stay in the game and work with what they have.

But I guess that isn't you.

[meow mix]

6. because they want to lose to the republicans again

im guessing

[Gman]

7. What's the point in appointing an inexperienced first term freshman senator

to be our representative?

[Hatalles]

8. Hillary supporters were non existent on DU a year ago.

What changed?

[Connonym]

9. ask yourself who is really voting for her in the primaries

Democrats or Republicans? Just because there's a cross over vote in the primaries doesn't mean she's going to be elected in November. There are plenty of Republicans voting Democratic in the primaries, especially now that McCain has this wrapped up. Why not try to play dirty and crossover vote for the Democratic candidate that everybody loves to hate? I don't particularly care for either of the Democratic candidates that remain. As is generally the case, my preferred candidate (John Edwards) was already out of the race before my state had its primary. I'm going to vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election but I strongly believe that Obama has a better chance at winning.

11. Older white women, less educated people

No offense intended, but she does best with older white women, and the less educated.

[NoodleyAppendage]

13. Funny. Those tend to be the same groups moved most by FEAR and latent racism.

I guess Hillary will be happy to win regardless of the cost.

J

[readmoreoften]

15. Your comments are so offensive and sexist and full of shit it's pretty unforgivable.

MAYBE, just MAYBE they're voting for her because they're concerned about choice, and because they don't believe that Obama's really antiwar anyway. Are black men racist sexist pigs for voting for Obama?

NO!

So CUT THE RACE BAITING SHIT OUT!!!

[NoodleyAppendage]

18. Hillary carried 70% of voters > 65 yrs. I don't know if you can get your head out of your ass, but.

Those are the individuals of a generation where segregation was the norm and as a result have grown up with a totally different set of mores than the 70% who are < 25 yrs. who vote for Obama.

Racism tends to track positively with age (i.e., racism goes up as age increases). And, THAT'S A FACT...JACK.

17. Ironically, my 70 year old white mom (who won't admit it but I'm pretty sure voted for W)

is an Obama supporter. In the past couple elections she would say that votes were private for a reason and she wouldn't tell us who she voted for. This time around she was really vocal about supporting John Edwards and then when he dropped out she went for Obama over Hillary in a heartbeat. I live in WI and maybe people are different here (ok,not maybe, we are different) but here Hillary is hugely unpopular, hated even, by left and right wing alike. I can't see her winning WI in the general election.

[NoodleyAppendage]

19. It's likely to be regional. Here in the South those > 65 years. and white tend to be racist.

I know there are exceptions, but I have lived in the South almost all of my life and there is deep distrust between races as age increases in the individual. It's not an outward racism, but likely to rear its head when alone in the voting booth.

J

[question everything]

10. Because Democratic voters want her, instead of Republicans and Independents

who have been giving Obama his so-called win?

If you don't like the Democratic system you can go vote for Nader.

[sandnsea]

12. I don't fucking know

I understand it with people who don't pay close attention, but DUers ought to know better. I don't get it at all.

[SIMPLYB1980]

20. Need a pillow to cry on?

[nomorewhopper]

21. hillary would be crushed in a general election

her negatives are off the charts

i honestly could not imagine losing to a republican in 2008, but mccain will draw millions of independents to his campaign if hillary is the nominee

[NoodleyAppendage]

27. EXACTLY. So, why are Dems supporting her with such fervor?

Talk about a circular firing squad. I'm still dumbfounded by the inability of some Dems to see these basic truths about her POOR chances in any general election.

J

[mmonk]

23. Give her her due. Yes she will tear us a new ass hole before

this is over but be gracious.
