Sen. Clinton, it's almost time to give up your dream...

[WCGreen]

I know how you feel...

I prepared for four years to run for the State Senate, worked the ward leaders, the precinct people, the executive committee members, attended hundreds of civic and party functions, represented the party in the local media time and time again...

And then, everyone ran to the new guy...

It took me a while to get over that, almost three years before I was able to let it go...

I know what you are going through...

Granted not even close to the same scale, but I know how heartbroken you must be in private...

It was my dream to serve in the State Senate, it was your dream to be the president of the United States...

Waiting, thinking you were doing the right thing, taking all the necessary steps...

And then having it all pulled out from under you...

It's a devastating time for you, Sen. Clinton, and, to compound it all, excruciatingly long...

I know you don't want to give up...

I know your people don't want you to give up...

There is still a fight, primaries to win, delegates to convince...

But Sen. Clinton, baring a miracle, you are not going to get the nomination...

Take the summer off, recharge your batteries and travel around the country for Obama and Senate and House candidates...

Set your sights on being the Senate Majority Leader...

It ain't the president, but it can be a powerful position if the person wielding the gavel wants it to be...

You can set the legislative agenda for the administration...

Tell me you can't whip those Gop'ers if your mind isn't on running for president...

Sen Clinton, look to where you can do the most good...

Sen. Clinton, I voted for you in Ohio...

I wanted Edwards at the start...

But after he dropped out, I felt as if I owed you that vote even though I knew, as you must have, that the tide was turning...

It's not your fault that Obama has captured lightning in a bottle...

You can't hate him for going after what he wants...

And don't blame the public, they are fickle...

And don't blame the political people because you know as I know that they can be two faced bastards who would throw their mothers overboard if they thought it would get them what they wanted...

No, place the blame where it truly lies...

History dictates that it is time for a charismatic young man to once again lead the party, to lead the country out of the morass we find ourselves in...

Sen. Clinton, I always admired you and I always will...

But please, step aside...

Let history takes it's course...

[lvx35]

1. K&R for being based in compassion rather than shit slinging. nt

[scheming daemons]

2. If Al Gore gave that speech tomorrow, this race would be over by Friday.

...

[Birthmark]

3. As Mississippi goes, so goes...

...Mississippi. I am now convinced that Obama is the wrong candidate at the wrong time. I'm not for Clinton, either. I'm for an open convention where hopefully someone with a viable chance of winning will be chosen.

[scheming daemons]

4. kick this mo-fo to the top...

...

[enid602]

5. The new state of discourse on DU . . .

"I know you doesn't want to give up... "

[scheming daemons]

6. The last refuge of someone who's lost the argument... criticize typos!

...

[enid602]

9. correction

Well, at least sofmeone helped you to correct it. But I think Tokyo Rose was a bit more polished.

[scheming daemons]

12. It's not my OP..... but to jump on someone because of a typo is pathetic....

....

[enid602]

22. pathetic

No, going on and on, day after day, night after night, telling someone to give up her dream is what's really pathetic. All in the hopes that she drops out of the race before BO's full involvement in the Rezko proceedings is made public. Talk about pathetic.

[scheming daemons]

26. You're really hanging your hopes on this Rezko thing, aren't ya? Says a lot about...

...what you think of your candidate.... if that's the only thing that can save her.

[enid602]

31. thanks

A similar land deal made mincemeat out of Duke Cunningham. I think the Obamabots so desperately want Hillary to quit because they fear this Rezko thing is going to blow sooner rather than later. Frankly, I'd feel MUCH better about Obama had he not bought the lot from Rezko; I'll feel somewhat better after the case is fully vetted.

[grantcart]

43. No as a constituent of Cunningham's I can tell you that not one element of the

Rezko situation is similar to what Cunningham did. It has been fully vetted. The prosecuting attorney has already completed that process its called a grand jury.

[enid602]

50. perhaps

I'll Grant you that it's not been proven that BO exchanged favors for land, and we know that the Duke's benefactor stood to gain in terms of defense contracts, given the Duke's committee responsibilities. Still, Rezko is the worse kind of slime, and BO's purchasing land from him for less than market value is suspicious. I hope you're right, that this whole matter has been fully vetted, and nothing untoward will surface. Still, I can't help but notice that most Obamatons automatically counter with Whitewater, Hsu, etc and forget to mention that the Clintons were bombarded with dozens of frivolous lawsuits, some of which probably continue to this day. I welcome any and all investigation into the Rezko case. If Obama's dirty, I think he should be given the same treatment as the Duke.

[Usrename]

66. What is it that you think is going to come out of the Rezko case?

Is there something that you think is still unknown about the land deal?

As far as I know, there ain't nuthin' there.

What are you hoping will happen?

[dionysus]

76. aww, someones's cranky...

here is your banky;

[VolcanoJen]

13. "sofmeone helped you to correct it."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Before edit, or course.

[alteredstate]

21. Who's "Sofmeone"?

[apocalypsehow]

55. "Well, at least sofmeone"... Since you're the self-appointed spell checker, what's a "sofmeone"?

n/t.

[WCGreen]

7. Thanks for pointing that out...

I started writing about Sen. Clinton and decided it should have been in the form of a letter to Sen. Clinton...

I just missed it...

[ShaneGR]

58. When there is nothing left to criticize, attacking spelling, the new rules of DU lately.

Man, that was a bad reply.

Just to give you more ammunition about spelling, fock yew.

[Quixote1818]

8. Nicely said. K and R. nt

[FogerRox]

10. Like losing a friend or a loved one, there must be a period of grief.

[VolcanoJen]

11. Thoughtful, and uplifting.

:thumbsup: WCGreen :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Nobody has said it better, Chris...

K&R

:patriot:

[ClayZ]

15. Bravo! Well said.

What will be, will be!

[Beacool]

16. This is getting so tiresome!!!!!!!!

Will tou people stop calling for Hillary to step down????

She won't do it, neither do her supporters want her to do it. Don't you get it? It's not just about Hillary, many of us think that Obama is not prepared to be president and we want another alternative. I wouldn't vote for Obama even if Hillary was not in the running.

[uponit7771]

28. Based off of Hillarys Miserable Failure of a campaign how could you say that?

[doublethink]

61. ........

[bagimin]

62. You've always got Nader or McCain

Weeee!

[cameozalaznick]

68. Sorry babe...

here ain't no other alternative 'cept McCain. There is not going to be some magical candidate who is going to emerge at the 11th hour to save us all. It's probably going to be Obama or McCain.

[LulaMay]

17. Don't tell us to give up our dreams. Or compare yourself in importance to Hillary Clinton.

running for president, and what it means to us.

[WCGreen]

24. Oh I sure didn't compare myself to Sen. Clinton...

If you would have actually read my comments...

[donheld]

18. It is NOT time for Hillary to give up her dream, it's past time. Long overdue

She's going to destroy a lot of things if she doesn't

[greyghost]

19. SHE IS NOT QUITING. What fucking part of that statement do you not understand?

She has more then enough votes to go into a brokered convention and that's what she going to do. DEAL WITH IT.

Everytime one of you asshats post one of these threads I kick her another $100. My family, who has more money then God, does the same.

BTW, I'm an Edwards supporter. So you are not accomplishing anything by posting these threads, you are having the opposite effect.

Grow up.

[Kaotac]

20. Bloody hell..

You sound like a poor little rich boy who's not getting his way with that post. And that you posted the exact some thing in multiple places makes you look worse.

[greyghost]

38. I posted this exactly TWICE. But you would know that because you

simply can't take NO for an answer. You are the one who isn't getting their way. As I said, DEAL WITH IT.

[WCGreen]

23. Good for you....

Kick in another $100.00...

Do what you must...

But why must you thrive on mocking others who don't do exactly as you do...

That, in some instances, would be viewed as childish...

[greyghost]

39. Posting the same thread repeatedly after you've been told to

stop is a definition of what exactly?

What part of you are not going to have it your way do these "people" not
understand?

They can keep spamming, it's a sure sign of maturity.:rofl:

Obviously they have no concept of the term back lash.

[WCGreen]

46. I've never posted anything like this...

I think You assume too much...

[greyghost]

48. If you haven't my apologies but why defend their continual spamming?

[ElboRuum]

72. Expecting a different result, mebbe?

It's either idiocy or insanity. I've heard it both ways.

[Lucky 13]

27. Go waste more of your money on Hillary.

The OP, like the rest of America, is finally realizing that it's over for Hillary. You guys eat your own at the slightest sign of wavering support for Hillary. Is there no one you won't turn on?

[greyghost]

44. What a fucking joke! You people are so terrified that she's going

to win at the convention that you spend your whole lives here ripping her and her supporters!

I'm an Edwards supporter myself so I'm looking at this with absolutely no emotion.

[Lucky 13]

45. I am an Edwards supporter too....

... I just can't get over the deep deafening denial that Hillbots seem to be in.

[greyghost]

47. She still has a chance to win. Obviously she still has...

enough supporters who feel the same way.

And they're right because neither one can win out right, that's how the DNC set it up, 2025, my god.

If John Edwards was in the same position as Hillary I sure as hell wouldn't want to see him quit.

[azmouse]

29. Well... la dee f*cking da....

Aren't you special?
Donate $1000 because of my post.

Hillary must drop out of the race for the sake of the Democratic party.

[greyghost]

40. No, it's for your sake because your TERRIFIED that she can

still win.

I'm an Edwards supporter. Most of DU backed Kucinich or Edwards, but your constant attacks on Hillary simply make people want to defend her.

Obviously that's a concept that you don't grasp.

[azmouse]

53. Print this out and set it next to your computer.

You're obviously a slow learner.
I have no fear. None. Nada. Zero.

Obama - Democratic nominee
Obama - winner in Nov and the next President of the United States.


I hope this triggers yet another donation but I don't think it will. I don't believe a single word you post.
In fact I'd consider it an honor if a piece of blowhard crap like you would put me on ignore.

[greyghost]

56. You are like a scared child who is afraid that he/she isn't going to get

their way.

You're not afraid, you're terrified. Terrified because Hillary has as much chance to win as Obama.

Bottom line, you can't handle the pressure of waiting until the convention, you want your gratification now.

WELL, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET IT, SHE'S STAYING TO THE END.

BTW, I just answered an email from Bill with another $100.

Feel free to put me on your ignore list, I've been around since McGovern and I'm not going anywhere.

[OhioBlue]

74. Dang, do you wipe your behind with those $100 bills too? n/t

[OhioBlue]

73. ahhhh he's gotta max out sometime. n/t

[NYDem Observer]

30. More money than God

:rofl:

[greyghost]

41. Close, but I wasn't taking credit for it since they EARNED it before

I was born. But I have no problem spending it.

It gives me the LAST LAUGH in anything I do in life.

Of course a day doesn't go by that I don't stop and thank my grandfather.

[KittyWampus]

33. It's THAN not then. "My family, who has more money then God"

[greyghost]

42. Thanks I'll remember that, the next time I'm replying to asshats at

4 in the morning.

[Maureen1322]

51. I am a Democrat first

and a Hillary supporter second and taking this to the convention is a very bad idea.

[greyghost]

52. Why exactly? If either one can't beat McWarmonger this country

deserves to fade into history.

[Skywalker]

54. $100 To Hillary?

Can't see how that could be a very good investment... not a very good return on your money, I think.

[greyghost]

57. Will be if she wins, and she's far from out of it.

[cameozalaznick]

69. Why do you want a brokered convertion?

Do you WANT McCain to win?

[greyghost]

71. If this country elects that insane war-monger after the last eight

years it deserves EVERYTHING it gets.

[Roxy66]

25. Very well said...

[democrattotheend]

32. I'm an Obama supporter, but this makes me feel sad

It almost makes me feel guilty, just like she did when she made that seemingly valedictory statement at the end of the Texas debate.

I am a woman and I support Obama but every now and then I remember why I used to idolize Hillary when I was little. Every now and then I feel a twinge of guilt that I am supporting another candidate when she's the first woman with a real chance to become president. Her valedictory at the end of the Texas debate tugged at my heartstrings a little, and if she hadn't followed that up with the kitchen sink strategy I might have had second thoughts.

[Swamp Rat]

34. k&r

[Laelth]

35. Beautiful, sympathetic, and it rings true.

This has got to be hard for her.

I bet it's hard for Bill too, for he may see in Hillary's likely defeat a repudiation of his Presidency.

-Laelth

[Catherina]

36. When all this is over, I'll weep for Hillary

This has been tragic and it hurts my to see what's happening to her. This is politics and I can't support her politically but it still hurts to see this happen. I wish Hillary had played her hand differently and listened to all of us these last 3 years. I hope, for her sake, that she steps aside so this doesn't overshadow her other accomplishments when they write the history books.

K&R

[taught_me_patience]

37. K & R

Awesome post. You really touch on the emotional difficulty that Mrs. Clinton must be going through.

[JackORoses]

49. damn good post!

[RainDog]

59. beautiful post... its honesty and its truth.

[SaveAmerica]

60. That was so nicely written, I'm thinking of how I felt after Edwards dropped out,

misery.

I'm sorry you didn't win your race (assuming that you didn't). Politics stinks when you're in there to really do good and make a difference.

[doublethink]

63. Excellent post ... good to see common sense returning to DU.

[FlyingSquirrel]

64. Recommended in spite of the errant apostrophe in "it's"

75. where?

77. I was wondering that myself....

It Is = It's...

At least that was what I was taught...

[OhioBlue]

80. me too. n/t

[AZBlue]

65. Your state made a big mistake.

You would have made a great Senator!!

[Carrieyazel]

67. Hillary isn't going to do it. She's taking this all the way to the convention.

I wish it wasn't the case, but she is not going anywhere for months.

[cameozalaznick]

70. Oh well...

Obama seems unfazed by it all. He just heads on down to the next contest and the next one and the next one... erasing 20 point leads as he goes. Bill Clinton said Hillary won Ohio and Texas handily. I hardly characterize losing more delegates as she did in Texas, "handily," but whatev.

[Topaz08]

78. I say let Obama have it

Clinton, Obama or McCain will have one hell of time making this country right again. It's going to take a miracle. I'm a Hillary supporter but the mess we're in now will take more than Obama to fix it. And the world issues won't go away either. Let him have his try. There's less boo hooing in the baby wards of hospitals. No one can make me believe any different anymore. Sorry fellow Hillary supporters but that's the way I feel regarding this messed-up crappy election.

[Scurrilous]

81. Maybe NOT! when word gets around about this!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAYe7MT5BxM

This video of Barack Obama's preacher, Jeremiah Wright spewing nasty racist slogans from the pulpit. How could someone affiliate with his kind for 20 years and not be like minded?

See the video...it will shake you up just like it did me...I was an Obama supporter until seeing this.

[workinclasszero]

82. Hillary's dream is turning out to be the worst

friggen nightmare the democratic party has ever had! By the time she is done, she will have mortally wounded the Obama campaign in the GE.

Hillary's good friend McCain will waltz into the white house and start the war preparations against Iran, cut taxes on the rich again and ready the final push against Social Security and Medicare.

Hillary's dream = 4 more years of George Bush! Hell, we should be in the Great Depression 2 by then!

But fight on Hillary!!!:sarcasm::puke:
