I give up. Count me among those who can no longer vote for Hillary in the general election because
of her shitty, dishonest, party-destroying tactics. The "bitter" ad running in Pennsylvania was the last straw; it is apparent to me that she realizes she can't win the nomination and so she's trying to sabotage our chances in November so she can run in 2012.

I'll vote for the Democratic nominee no matter who wins (and it's 95% likely to be Obama), but if Hillary steals the nomination, I'll be voting purely against McCain and not for Hillary.

Until recently, I was hoping Hillary would seek the Senate majority leadership, but now I'm just done with her.

1. I agree with the sentiment but I'll vote third party.

I will not reward her for voting yes on the IWR, and the way she has run her campaign has sealed the deal.

2. You're better than me
because I'm not voting for that thing if she steals it from Obama. And yes, damnit, she IS a "thing".

5. I hear ya....
...there is NO WAY in hell that I would vote for her....EVER.

I can also guarantee that when she tucks her tail under and heads back to her elitist NY mansion to run again for the US Senate, if there is a Dem challenger to her, that person will get a large donation from me.

I truly hate her...and I hope she loses her seat in the US Senate.

3. I'll write Obama in if she steals it - which is pretty much what she's reduced to. n/t

7. I stopped supporting Shillary when:
she virtually endorsed McCain for President.

Also when Ann Coulter endorsed her and Bill Clinton went on Rush Limpball's to pander and pimp out his wife to Rush's wingnut listeners.

Their cozying up with these far right nutcases is beyond disgusting.

9. Your donkey must have a very strong back...

I mean, if this was the last straw and all. Mine broke months and months ago.

Hillary Clinton is NOT a Democrat. She might as well declare that she is joining the Joe Lieberman party.

12. Exactly what I thought, "man, what took you?" I mean, all she pulled before was worse than
this ad could ever be, haven't seen it yet though. So it might be up ( or down rather ) with the "shame on you", "as far as I know", mccain endorsements and such...

19. This is the first TV ad which seems to me to be calculated toward a mutually assured Democratic loss
in November without any appearance of boosting herself but purely at handicapping our chances in November.

10. Hill disqualified herself from the Dem nomination when she endorsed McCain for President.

21. I was thinking we should start a petition to strip her of her superdelegate status
Lieberman was stripped of his superdelegate status under the "Zell Miller rule" when he endorsed McCain. Clinton should be stripped of her superdelegate status for the same reason. She can still run, but she should not be allowed to vote for herself as a superdelegate.

13. Oh FUCK no!
She'll still be a better candidate than Grandpa NeoCain.

Don't turn into spiteful shitheads at the expense of a better outcome... please. Much as I understand... don't be that shithead.

20. Seems to me that Hillary would be just fine with 4 years of McCain.
Would that make her "that shithead" ?

22. Considering she could do more to sabotage the Democrats,
That would make her far worse than a shithead.

But not voting for her simply because she steals the nomination would be a shithead thing to do.

23. Didn't you read the OP before commenting? I said "I'll vote for the Democratic nominee no matter who
wins."

As I said, I see no mathematical possibility for Hillary to steal the nomination, but if she did, I would pull the lever on behalf of the Democratic nominee purely as a vote against McCain.

It is extremely important that we have an extremely high voter turnout this year.
