Hillary, I'm done... finished... through!
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 09:50 PM by demdog78
That's right, I said it. I am done... done starting negative threads about Hillary Clinton.

After much though and deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that if you are not part of the solution, then you are definitely part of the problem.

This forum just isn't fun any more; doing it like this. I would much rather have an intelligent uplifting conversation with a fellow democrat than participate in a flame war.

So, this is my pledge. I will not start any more negative threads about Hillary Clinton. From now on my threads will be either a positive post about Obama, a positive post about Hillary, or a complete McLame slam.

I believe my time on here would be better spent shedding light on why I think Obama will make a fine president rather than wasting it trying to tear down Hillary Clinton.

I think all of our time time would be much better spent slamming McCain than tearing down one of our own.

I mean, let's face it; the last thing we want is four more years under a republican president. And both of our candidates are highly elecatable and should have no problem beating McChimp.

I would like to ask all of you to try to act in the same manner.

We all know who we are voting for in the primarys, or who we have already voted for. Nothing said on here at this point is going to change anyone's opinions.

So, let's start thinking about the fall and what we can do to make sure our candidate wins... regardless of which candidate it is. That is still the goal... right?

If you agree, sign the pledge.

GoBama! GoHilly! GoDems!

1. I agree 100%
and have managed to do that most of the time. I did say that Hillary couldn't do math because her mother told her she couldn't. I got nailed on that one.

We need to work our asses off for our candidate, and support either of the two.

I think they are both good candidates, with about the same number of problems in the GE.

12. I was about to say that... so I'll just corroborate.
Here was one that I thought was pretty optimistic and non-partisan;

ONE reply.


If you want to work on bipartisanship, you have to get in the mud and be clever, methodical, and patient about it... not that I've been working on anything like that. :freak:

9. This place has turned into a Pub Party Convention...with the threads so Pubesque
Moot and Minutiae crap mostly....he said ... she said....never mind what their plans are...what the solutions are...

This is typ of Republicans..so I suspect many Pub trolls are here to fuck us up with crappy denigration/distortion...hall marks of the Pub Discourse...

14. You should of weeks ago...........
When it was clear what was happening, no need for smears, it is over for the evil Hillary and her hateful following. They are trying to destroy the Democratic party for their own ambitions. I have ignored them, not on a stupid list but totally ignored their hatefulness to the nominee. It is time to move forward for a united party and win the election against the evil forces of the Republican party.

16. Well, I am now. So how about giving me credit for that...
rather than tell me I should have done it before.
