To All Those Who Will not Vote for the Nominee, whoever it is, think about this Picture.

[MadBadger]

This goes to supporters of Obama and Clinton. Think about this picture before you do something STUPID.

[Muttocracy]

1. that plus the Supreme Court - the longer term matters. nt

[MadBadger]

4. that too.

[Cosmocat]

12. That is what brings me home ...

Every day or so, I get so disgusted by Hill, I start to think about actually voting for McCain, then I hear him doing the "Islamic extremist" crape that just throws me over, or I think about the Supreme Court ...

Brings me home ...

[calimary]

20. KICKED!

Yes, I'm SHOUTING!!!

[mikelgb]

2. you all should have stared at this pic while Dennis was still on the ballot...

so I should vote for a complicit Senator who voted for those caskets to be made or the one who voted to fund them?

is that what you want me to fucking think about?

[damonm]

3. No.

What you need to "fucking think about" is which of the 3 remaining candidates are planning to keep this up for a hundred years or so, and which are planning to get us out of there as soon as practicable.

Kucinich was not, is not, and NEVER WILL BE electable as POTUS unless we suddenly become Europe. So get over it.

The reason I'm for Obama is that he wants to end the mindset that got us into the situation in the first place, and I believe Clinton represents the "same old same old...", although she's a damn sight better than McCain.

[mikelgb]

5. oh gtfo

how about: "Obama will never be electable unless we suddenly become Africa" or "Hillary will never become electable unless we become Amazons"

anybody is electable as long as they are properly spoon-fed to the sheeple

[Doctor_J]

19. Of for God's sake

Kucinich would have made a lousy candidate and, if by some chance he were to get elected, a lousy president. The reason he washed out of the nomination campaign is that he is unable to build a viable coalition even among Dems. How in the world could he be expected to build coalitions across party lines?

[BOSSHOG]

6. So I guess it would make sense

for Obama supporters on DU to stop being so incredibly ugly to those who might even come close to criticizing their candidate. Ya might need em in the fall.

I have been a General Clark supporter for a long, long time and I have been a democrat for more then 30 years. I will not be run out of my party by hateful posts. I will continue to vote for the candidate(s) of my party despite the intense efforts of Obama supporters to run me and others off. Ain't gonna happen. I suggest introspection and a change in strategy. May I suggest UNITY!

[MadBadger]

9. Its childish to not vote for a candidate because of random people on the internet.

[BOSSHOG]

10. One might suggest

its childish for random people to make such posts in the first place. I've been told by a poster I'll soon be gone from DU. Just love the Unity oozing from the Obama camp.

[KaptBunnyPants]

22. If you don't vote for candidates with asshole supporters, you'll never vote at all.

And you're not that nice yourself, so I don't know how you can complain about a lack of civility.

[BOSSHOG]

34. I'd suggest

that my not being nice has been a reaction to Obama supporters. Lack of civility results in lack of civility, kinda like the law of physics. Since my candidate was out of the running before the campaign started I promised myself I would not wade into GD-P, so much for promising myself. I haven't missed a vote since I voted absentee from bootcamp in 1972 and I ain't gonna start not voting now.

[CTD]

7. Clinton has no intention of ending the war any quicker than McCain

She's owned by AIPAC just like he is.

[SeattleGirl]

8. I disagree with you.l

I have a lot of problems with Senator Clinton, but that's not one of them.

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. Sure she has, and you've read the quote.

... or part of it, at least.

SEN. HILLARY CLINTON: We have to restore America's leadership and our moral authority, and that means we've got to begin ending the war in Iraq.

And I have been outlining this week, as we mark the fifth anniversary of George Bush's pre-emptive war that he waged, I have been outlining plans as to what we can and must do to begin bringing our sons and daughters home.

I am convinced that we can start within 60 days and do it in a responsible and careful manner, recognizing that the Iraqi government has to take responsibility for its own future, that we have given them the precious gift of freedom, and it is up to them to decide whether or not they will use it.

But we cannot win their civil war; there is no military solution.

60 days compares favorably to either "16 months best case scenario" or 100 years.

[gateley]

13. I think about it with every post. See my sig line. nt

[KaptBunnyPants]

14. It depends on how the nomination process goes down.

I won't vote for a tyrant. I expected Hillary would win, and I was fully prepared to support her. But her strategy now makes me think that she is as morally flexible as Bush. I can't decry Republicans for putting Party ahead of country then turn around and do the same thing myself.

[democrattotheend]

23. The nomination process has nothing to do with people stuck in Iraq

I will be pissed off if Clinton gets the nomination through means I consider illegitimate, but I still owe it to my fellow Americans to vote for her if she gets the nomination. It's not about rewarding her with my vote - it's about the troops who will die needlessly for 4 more years, it's about the people who don't have health care, it's about the Supreme Court. Those things are more important than any beef we might have over how she gets nominated.

[KaptBunnyPants]

27. And the people are in Iraq because we have a tyrant in the white house.

I thought I knew the Clintons, but I don't. They are far more cutthroat, mercenary, and amoral than I ever dreamed. If you still trust her to bring our troops home and provide for our people without unduly inflicting harm on others, then do what you think is right. So will I. If I still had that much faith in her, then the choice would be easy.

[KaptBunnyPants]

15. Duplicate

dublicate

[LulaMay]

16. You don't fool the women & decent men on ths board who know you.

[MadBadger]

18. Do you know me?

[bpeale]

17. all i have to say about this is ... MY CHOICE, MY VOTE

it must piss you off not to be able to control the whole world.

[MadBadger]

21. I offer no apologies for wanting a democrat in the WH, not matther WHO it is.

[cooolandrew]

24. If considering McCain instead of thinking voting against someone write what you are voting for...

More war
No economic plan
No healthcare
no world respect
no hope

[quakerboy]

25. you damn

neutral democratic voters, always trying to cram your agenda down our throats.

[MadBadger]

26. Not neutral here..I cant stand Hillary.

[quakerboy]

29. ok. fine

Damn big picture people, trying to force your sanity agenda on us all.

[DrFunkenstein]

28. You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train

Howard Zinn, baby.

[AtomicKitten]

30. No purity pledges for me, thanks anyway.

Threatening to vote for McCain is a pathetic response to this struggle for the nomination. However, there are many Democrats like myself that will vote third party for president and Dem down-ballot if the Clintons are successful in wrestling the nod from Obama. And, for anyone inclined, spare the finger-wagging because some will simply not be a part of the War Machine/Money Party, not even by default, not even vis a vis the lesser of two evils argument. Not this time.

[azmouse]

31. Amazing and sad that so many on this thread still just don't get it.

This election is about more than them. It's about the future of this entire country and whether the country will survive.

Thank you for trying to get through to them.

[azmouse]

32. kicked 'cause people need reminding

[Milo_Bloom]

33. That picture is why I will NEVER vote for Clinton.

[Scurrilous]

35. K & R

:thumbsup:

[MethuenProgressive]

36. That's EXACTLY why we must vote for our nominee.

Thanks, hnmnf.
Peace.
