"it would be the height of political foolishness to stay home or not vote for a Democrat "

[peoli]

"Anyone, anyone, who voted for either of us should be absolutely committed to voting for the other because it would be the height of political foolishness to have voted for one of us and what we stand for and then either to stay home or not vote for a Democrat and instead vote for Sen. McCain."

Clinton said disaffected Democrats sitting out the fall election or backing a Republican "would be absolutely counter to everything that both and Barack and I stand for."

She did not address Obama's break today from his former pastor over the controversial remarks Rev. Jeremiah Wright made over the last few days.

4. the complete irrelevancy

of this needlessly self-destructive argument is confirmed by logic. HRC cannot now prevail without making our loyal, desperate votes meaningless. Obama supporters logically have no cause to express their real resentment with a hypothetical that makes them look un confident and fairly dumb. They don't have to worry about not voting or voting for Hillary. The issue is irrelevant. Only the anger and fear is kept alive by the prolonged death throes of a very threatening competitor.

This MAY cause damage to Obama in November. It has happened before. the issue was never voting for the spoilers then or in the future. Everyone went down together, though the clout of the primary losers increased.

Ding dong. That's right. It is not about Hillary stealing the nomination but about the much more common historical precedent of empowering her faction, again, in defeat, to muck up the party for some more decades of utter American tragedy. Trying to express anger or payback for that is futile at least until you can see it for what it must become if she hangs onto her delegates well into the Convention. Then you
will led and forced to kiss and make up to mitigate the damage they intend and will continue to hold onto.

So that sticks in the Obama supporters' gut as well as the ultimate defeat of Hillary forever must remain in her supporter's bile. Anger makes losers and suckers more often than expressing the thirst for Justice and progress. Who votes for whom out of pique and rage is meaningless except for the GOP. It means a LOT to them and they will NOT be disappointed by this game.

5. I think its becoming increasingly clear to most that the Democratic Party is exhibiting the...

height of foolishness. This contest has made the Democratic party look like incoherent turkeys. Why is McCain polling so well against us? Hmmmm...perhaps because he comes across as an adult whereas our party has had months of the most batshit insane diatribes about the most ridiculous issues? If you were a pure moderate and was looking at either of these candidates through the MSM filter they are both playing to, would you look and say, "Yeah, they look presidential. I can see them running things!"

Apparently many do not.

6. It worries me when she says things I agree with... It makes me assume she is lying again
