CLINTON SUPPORTERS:::Positive Thread Here

[slinkerwink]

I know I'm an Obama supporter, but in all of the middle of the mudslinging from some of the Hillary supporters, I've been wondering where the positive Hillary threads are. Where are your canvassing threads? Where are your phonebanking threads? Where are your Hillary event pictures threads? Please post them here in the spirit of amity.

1. Sorry, all gone to private forums for Hillary supporters only

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Lately, all of the positive Hillary threads I have seen wind up getting piled on by

Obama supporters ridiculing Senator Clinton, her campaign or her supporters. It's become almost impossible to have a rational debate on issues.

[Mezzo]

6. or welcoming you to their ignore list. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

8. I've seen a lot of that. It seems that many of Senator Obama's supporters

don't want discussion of issues. I don't know if I've made any ignore lists or not and I don't really care. When I hear posters bragging about ignore lists that number in the 100's I assume that they aren't interested in listening to anyone who doesn't agree with them.

[JTFrog]

9. Actually when discussing REAL ISSUES... it's the Clinton supporters who vacate. Example:

I am so sick of that BS thrown out there without any backup. Repeating the Clinton meme of the day does not alter the facts or the issues, tho it may alter the cognitive dissonant's perception of reality.

Here is an EXAMPLE of a real issue. The economy and how Clinton plans to deal with it:

I don't see any Clinton supporters in here trying to deal with this issue that has over 130 replies (there weren't any Clinton folks defending a similar thread in GDP either):

Clinton proposes Greenspan lead foreclosure group

Source: Reuters

By Jeff Mason

WHITE PLAINS, New York (Reuters) - Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and other economic experts should determine whether the U.S. government needs to buy up homes to stem the country's housing crisis, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will propose on Monday.

I don't have time to put a list together, but if you are really interested in talking issues, take a look around.

[Arkansas Granny]

12. I didn't see the thread that you refer to here, but I did see another on the same subject

that had several of Senator Clinton's supporter responding.

[JTFrog]

13. Yeah, they debated whether she said it or not and wouldn't believe it until

the quote from her freakin speech was provided.

That's hardly discussing the actual issue now is it?

[Texas Hill Country]

23. true.

[VeraAgnes]

3. They took a powder.

I read in another thread yesterday, they went elsewhere claiming DU is mean to them.

[leftofcool]

5. uh, no

we just prefer to support our candidate in peace with constructive posts and no bullshit. But thank you for your concern.

[VeraAgnes]

34. Your so very welcome.

O8)

[DrDan]

4. I understand their departure . . . GD-P has become harms-way and should so renamed - GD-HW

The animosity to differing views is overwhelming. And unfortunately, healthy debate is rare - only offensive and insulting comments.

[xultar]

7. Why would anyone post a positve thread about Hillary here and get piled on by Obama supporters

saying they need to get behind the presumptive nominee
she's a killer
she's a murderer
she's a traitor
her husband is a rapist
she's the blame for her husbands infidelity
she shouldn't be where she is because she followed he husbands coat-tails
if it weren't for his infidelity she wouldn't be where she is today
she's the reason the party is divided
she must jump out of the race
she's the reason we went into Iraq
she must be stopped
Stop her now
she's a racist
her supporters are trolls
her supporters are freepers
welcome to my ignore list
her supporters are living in a fantasy land
her supporters are the reason DU has gone down hill
Let it sink which is used ass a fucking weapon against posters of a different candidate instead of a tool against racist post.


I blame the Obama supporters, the admins, and the mods for allowing one population of this board to actively run another population away.

And please don't give me that crap about only some Obama supporters...because those who sat back and allowed it to happen are just as guilty. HRC supporters are out numbered 4 to 1 here, maybe more. If this is the way we treat fellow democrats then DU isn't DemocraticUnderground. And the fucking Democratic needs to be removed from the goddamned URL.

Reminds me of the whole if you're not with us you're against us thing the Bush Administration pulled after 9/11. Republicans, freepers, neo-cons have nothing on the Liberals and Progressives on DU and across the web. Nothing. They are fucking laughing at your asses right now. Oh, and I'm laughing too.

[slinkerwink]

10. I think the blame is equally shared by all

I've been called many names for supporting Obama:

Naive
Cultist
Kool-Aid drinker
Young
Uninformed

And Obama's been called:

A coke addict
Drug dealer
Racist
Homophobic bigot

And let's not forget all of the racist posts made by Hillary supporters like jackson_dem and MassDemm.

[xultar]

11. Blame can be shared by all but not the volume and the vitriol. Sorry. BTW

Young and Uninformed aren't insults. If so I can add uninformed to my list and I'll see your young with old school or old guard.

[Raffi Ella]

16. !!!!

You so totally fucking ROCK xultar.

[DemExpat]

20. How it appears to me too,

:thumbsup:

DemEx

[snooper2]

32. "HRC supporters are out numbered 4 to 1 here, maybe more"

As like the rest of the country...

I.E. drop out already Hillary...we have had enough of you already...get the point xultar..we are fucking done with her. Done with her campaign, her bullshit, her 5 million dollar Penn, DONE DONE DONE...

How many debates have they had on the issues? If it ain't clear by now, ya need to get out of politics totally...it's over and WE JUST WANT HER TO GO AWAY!!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. all 10 of us left here(that you haven't run off yet) will jump on flights to her Rallies and

snap a few pics just for you.....brb! :freak:



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[slinkerwink]

15. please do, you may actually make a more positive case for your candidate

then engaging in race-baiting and ad hominem attacks that are typical of Clinton supporters.

[cd3dem]

17. this post is a farce!

[MethuenProgressive]

18. LET IT SINK

"I know I'm an Obama supporter, but in all of the middle of the mudslinging from some of the Hillary supporters, I've been wondering..."

:puke:

[slinkerwink]

24. thank you for kicking the thread!

:pals:

[ruggerson]

19. I don't think this post was meant in a genuine way

which is pretty damn sad.

[slinkerwink]

25. it was. I asked for more positive threads and didn't get any Clinton supporter

saying they would post more positive threads.

[xultar]

30. I will say, though I am not a Clinton supporter I thank you for and appreciate your post.

I do lean Clinton, and I think the bitter anti-posts around here have caused the lean.

Thanks a gain for your post.

[MethuenProgressive]

28. Of course not, rug... And, I Quote:

"I know I'm an Obama supporter, but in all of the middle of the mudslinging from some of the Hillary supporters, I've been wondering..."

[xultar]

29. It was. Slinkerwink and I don't agree on a lot, but I will say she is VERY sincere.

I appreciate her post as a step towards ending the bullshit around here.

21. In the Spirit of Amity

Vampiric Amity

Blood leaking
Enemy leaping
Fangs are sharp and out
I stay in my hideout

His eyes glowing red
A fearful purebred
But im not scared
People compared

For I am human
And he can summon
My soul mate
It was our fate

I watch him fight
And smiled that he was alright
Again and again
He fought and then…

The strongest of his rivals
Struck him in a vital
Horror I watched
My face splotched

Barely standing
Hardly backhanding
He fell to the ground
With a huge pound

Looking down at him
With a huge grin
His own dad
This got me mad


Stepping out
I was ready to knock out
Very weak was I
I needed to try


Grabbing a silver spoon
He started to swoon
He backed away
Watching me like prey

Bending down
Almost having a breakdown
I brought my neck towards my lover
Wrapping his hand around my collar

Exchanging blood
Star crossed love
I felt my blood drain
Pouring into his mouth like rain

My body goes limp
I feel like a blimp
I look into his eyes
Sad to see his cries

He grazed his fang against his skin
And held it up to me with a grin
My stomach did flips
I took small sips

Feeling my body go cold
Now unfearful and bold
I felt refreshed
We finally meshed

Done with the stage
I cried out in rage
Up in fighting stance
We began to advance

Side by side
Glass eyed
We struck
He ducked

Fight began
His dad a dead man
Hours past
A huge blast

Not knowing who has died
I began to stride
Inhumanly I ran
Rushing past like a fan

I came to a halt
The horrible assault
There lay a body
But it was too fogy

Rushing to it
My face lit
There on the floor
Wasn’t my amour

But his dad
I was glad
Arms wrapped around me
I knew who it could be

I spun fast
Nothing was meant to last
We kissed with craving
He was worth saving

No more fights
We would stray the nights
Hand in hand
We will stand

31. *** Deserves a whole new thread ***

[Beacool]

22. Why bother?

Every time someone opens a positive thread, some of you come over and relish pissing all over it. Most of Hillary supporters who used to come to this board have moved on to more friendly sites. What some of you fail to recognize is that Obama can't win without our help and he's losing us in droves. I hear more and more from Hillary supporters who say they will not vote for Obama in November if he is the nominee.

[slinkerwink]

26. I don't piss on positive Clinton threads

[Beacool]

27. Maybe not you, but plenty of other Obama supporters do.

We can't have a positive post about Hillary that someone will not be able to resist coming over to spill venom. I do not like Obama in the least, but I refrain from posting snarky remarks in a positive post that I see is clearly addressed to his followers. We all have a right to enjoy some nice posts about our respective candidates and not have people try to ruin the moment. Unfortunately, we Hillary supporters do not feel welcome anymore on this board. Some of us stick around out of sheer stubbornness, but that's all. If Obama wins the nomination and we feel that Hillary has been mistreated, I think most of us will pack it in and go elsewhere.

33. Weren't you a Deanie

in '03?

Haven't seen you around in a awhile.

:hi:

[CreekDog]

35. their campaign strategy is like a contestant in a demolition derby

and we know how those contests are won. :eyes:
