Clinton Supporters What do you want from us Seriously

[AllentownJake]

We try to play nice and say no hard feelings than you smack our hands and say "Do you think that makes up for what you did and said the past 3 months"

Than in the next breath you keep threatning to vote for on edit Nader or nobody if we don't play nice?

You tell us this isn't over and than when we act like its not over you get even madder by us continuing the fight?

Seriously What do you want?

[goldcanyonaz]

1. Just a good meatball recipe.

i know you got one. SHARE!

[AllentownJake]

7. I'll actually PM you one tonight or tommorow

It's my mom's and its the best.

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Thank you! Me love meatballs.

[BlooInBloo]

20. Me too! How's THAT for unity!

:rofl:

[gateley]

PM me, too! And thank your mom!

(My mom had no "the best" recipes to pass along. She wasn't all that great in the kitchen... but she was the best mom, nonetheless!)

[kid a]

86. please PM that recipe to me too (or just post below!~)

[Kittycat]

11. It needs veal.

Veal and ground beef.
I like to use a special seasoning blend from Penzey's spices (good, cheap source for bulk spices). I will even send you some if you'd like - I have plenty :)

[jgraz]

47. If you don't want to use veal, ground turkey works great as a substitute

It gives the meatballs a really nice meaty punch.

[Kittycat]

51. Good to know.

I'll take note of that. Turkey is cheaper and low in fat :D

[jgraz]

57. Well... get the ground thigh meat if you can

It's not low in fat, but it's AMAZING in ground meat dishes.

[Dr Fate]

12. The secret is FRESH bread crumbs. n/t

n/t

[goldcanyonaz]

62. My mom in law makes hers with fresh bread crumbs and basil.

[Dr Fate]

85. You also need THREE ground meats. They are MEATballs, not Beefballs!!!

I suggest turkey, beef & bulk italian pork sausage...

[Warren DeMontague]

17. onion soup mix is the secret, I think. nt

[Kittycat]

54. There's an organic/all natural mix I get in a little brown bag at the store.

I can't think of the name, I'll check the cupboard to see if I have some. But it's actually a meatloaf mix, and it's incredible! A few meatloaves back, I tried it for the first time - it was heaven sent. The price was good too.

[PatGund]

Okay, can do!

(This is a variant of my Cajun Meatloaf)

Cajun Meatballs

INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground beef
1 1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 cup peach preserves

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix thoroughly the ground beef, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, onion, bread crumbs, milk, and egg.

Form the mixture into golf ball sized meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until there is no pink left in the middle.

In a small bowl, combine the barbeque sauce and peach preserves.

When meatballs are done, place in a serving dish and cover with the barbeque sauce mixture. Toss to coat.

[goldcanyonaz]

31. Yummy! thank you.

[PatGund]

87. You're welcome!

My fiance also likes Porcupine meatballs, (except she calls them "Hedgehogs"), so I have a few recipes for those as well.

[Dr Fate]

92. Here's mine- you cant miss.

[last1standing]

2. And they keep insulting us while complaining about being insulted.

It's that professional victimhood that gets to me.

[SaveAmerica]

63. Responses #2 and #3 that were posted at the same time are SOOO funny!!

It's always nice to have an example show up with your post, isn't it?

[Rene]

99. a pair of whores. kissin cousins....I don't believe a word they say now after the campaign

rhetoric.

4. I'll kick this

I'd like to know too.

Cash? A foot rub? What?

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. I want my bicycle and video games back

Damn it!

[hisownpetard]

19. HAH!

Yeah: you'd think with $109 million in the bank (not to mention the undisclosed $24 million of Bill's that was just discovered),
she'd tell the kid to keep his bike, keep his video games, and maybe even throw in a $25 gift certificate to Wal-Mart, for his dedication.

And she thinks this will impress us? What a skewed mentality at work there.

[countingbluecars]

23. Too funny!! eom

[NJmaverick]

LOL! Oh the Jon Stewart bit! That was hilarious and sad

all at the same time. That poor kid!

[Kaylee]

30. God, I hope she gave him back his money....nt.

[LisaM]

6. Which Hillary supporter HERE has seriously threatened to vote for McCain?

I'm not saying there isn't someone that has, but I haven't seen it. I've seen some who won't for Obama, but where has anyone said they would vote for McCain?

[sfaprog]

21. Those are one and the same

[LisaM]

32. No, they are not the same. That's ridiculous.

In other words, no one.

[sfaprog]

41. A registered Dem sitting out the election for nothing but sour grapes is EXACTLY the same thing as

a vote for McCain. It puts us down a vote.

[Warren DeMontague]

45. Yeah, and anyone who refused to vote for Al Gore in 2000 was an asshole.

Sure, if they voted for Bush they were doubly an asshole, but they were still an asshole if they refused to vote for Gore because they wanted to stomp their feet and way "waaaaah".

Same goes for anyone who refuses to vote for our nominee this year. If our nominee was going to be Hillary, you can bet your ass I would be voting for her. Period, end of story.

[LakeSamish706]

8. Yep, thats how I see it as well.... One wants to let it slide, but sometimes just can't do that.n/t

[JVS]

9. They want the elections to have gone differently.

[LakeSamish706]

22. I can understand that, but they haven't and the people have spoken....

So lets move on and take back the WH and kick the current squatters the hell out (and hopefully in a nice prison or not so nice).

[leftofcool]

13. nutin

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Nothing

Just drop it.

There are some of us that will not come around. There are some of that it will take some time.

There are some of us that really don't give a shit anymore.

[Shakespeare]

27. Just know this....

If you come around, WHEN you come around, you will be greeted with more love & affection than you can possibly imagine. You've been pretty quiet lately (and I totally understand why), and you've been missed.

Until then: :hug: :loveya:

[anamnua]

98. Shakespeare

After all I've erad and experienced on this board this sort of stuff nauseates me. I actually prefer the typical crazed hostile Obamaton - at least you know where you stand.

[BlooInBloo]

15. self-delete - wrong branch.

[asthmaticeog]

16. What they want is to feel important by making barely-veiled threats on the interweb.

Seriously, I'm with you - I've seen like a dozen of these fucking "Obama supporters need to be nice to us" threads, but all they ever do is threaten to withhold their votes from the Democratic party in the general, they never say specifically what they want these mercurial and largely hypothetical Obama supporters who apparently are just SOOOO awful to them to DO.

And I'll say it for the billionth time: basing one's vote on whether or not one particularly likes a given group of anonymous people on 'net discussion boards displays an almost criminal level of dumb.

Edit: really ridiculous typo

[MonkeyFunk]

100. You think that's what Ronnykmarshall posted above?

You think that's what I've posted here?

Bullshit.

[asthmaticeog]

104. Oh god, no.

I'm ONLY talking about the folks who're posting that specific kind of OP - the type that starts out with a demand that Obama supporters be nice to Clinton supporters (and it's always global like that, for some reason - I think most people on both sides (as if there were only two sides, right? ;)) are pretty much rational and civil, yet the demand seems to always be made of ALL Obama supporters, though of course GDP is going to see a higher concentration of twits, leading perhaps to a selection bias), followed by a never explicitly stated but always subtextually present threat to withhold a dem vote in the general election if the niceness demand isn't met. I've never seen you or Ronny post that kind of trollish horseshit. In fact I would be utterly astonished if I saw either of you threatening to stay home or vote McCain or third-party based on how DUers act. If I was unclear that my opprobrium was directed ONLY at those kind of trollish posters and not at all Clinton supporters, I apologize. You and Ronny are certainly not among the people I was exasperated with, who, indeed, I think are in a tiny but teeth-grindingly annoying minority. I could go look up threads and specify usernames, but I really don't want to call anyone out, 'cuz if this post were to get deleted before you saw it, I'd dread what you might think I said.

[Marrah_G]

18. Here is what I want.

For the constant trashing of democrats to stop

For the trashing of each other to stop.

For people to treat each other with at least a minimum of respect.

For all of us to respect each others choices.

For people to no longer feel like an unwanted enemy for daring to think differently.

I will not offer my vote in return because frankly, the nominee already has it.

That is what I want.

[NJmaverick]

24. There is a group of hard corp Hillary fans that refuse to play nice

they clearly have no interest in anything but clinging to their anger and bitterness. Many Obama people have reached out, but sometimes being the better person is not enough.

[rurallib]

25. I for one quit caring what they wanted a long time ago

time to grow up and join the real world. Sorry to sound like a jerk, but the venom has coarsened me.

[NJmaverick]

29. I understand where you are coming from, and don't blame you in the least

Fie!!!

[XemaSab]

66. He's almost as bad as Hillary

x(

[Writer]

73. Uhhh... really, now?

I suppose Clinton should stop asking for money. Heck - she should have run her presidential campaign WITHOUT money, damn it!

[Texas Hill Country]

28. honestly, i want the insults to stop, i want FL and MI counted, the rest of the primaries to

play out, and to have Hillary given the respect she is due by all Democrats.


Even if she is not the nominee, I will be happy if those things happen.

[SeaLyons]

34. Ditto!!!!

[jgraz]

49. "given the respect she is due by all Democrats"

And how, exactly, would you define that?

[XemaSab]

67. I know how much respect she is due!

NONE! :D

[jgraz]

74. That was kind of my point

but I am curious as to how much ass-kissing her supporters think we need to do before they'll deign to support the Democratic ticket.

[Warren DeMontague]

64. Have you seen these quotes from Terry McAuliffe?

"I'm going outside the primary window," told me definitively.

"If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," I said. "We will have chaos. I let you make your case to the DNC, and we voted unanimously and you lost."

He kept insisting that they were going to move up Michigan on their own, even though if they did that, they would lose half their delegates. By that point Carl and I were leaning toward each other over a table in the middle of the room, shouting and dropping the occasional expletive.

"You won't deny us seats at the convention," he said.

"Carl, take it to the bank," I said. "They will not get a credential. The closest they'll get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules. If you want to call my bluff, Carl, you go ahead and do it."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/4/25/165935/668/909/503541

http://www.americablog.com/2008/03/terry-mcauliffe-sang-different-tune.html

So in 2004, the rules were the rules, but now the rules are... what? Bullshit?

The DNC has rules about primary scheduling for a reason. We throw them out, and next time around all hell is guaranteed to break loose.

It's unfortunate, but MI & FL broke those rules, and the lesson here is next time around everyone needs to play BY the rules.

[Writer]

33. I want my $2.

Damn it.

[Texas Hill Country]

36. HAHAHAHA... I love that movie

[tandem5]

two doooooooooooollarrrrrrrrrrs *fading*

[PBS Poll-435]

35. Just a little human decency

Is that too much to ask?

[AllentownJake]

39. No

not at all.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. I think the point is, we're all obstensibly on the same team.

I think some of the things said on both sides have crossed the line.

I'm ready to move on to focusing on November and beating John McCain.

I respect Senator Clinton's tenacity in this primary, and I have no doubt she will continue to be a force in our party.

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Yes

:thumbsup:

[redqueen]

38. You left out the part where they hurl insults while demanding respect.

That's the best part.

[TTUBatfan2008]

40. It's pretty simple...

They want Obama to drop out of the race.

[AllentownJake]

42. yeah

that isn't happening...next

[TTUBatfan2008]

89. I'm just tellin' ya...

that's the level of stubbornness we're dealing with here.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. your first born child.

no, not really.

[purji]

48. Damn I was going to send her over too!n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. sorry. i have decided to take these seriously blown out of proportion threads

facetiously.

[purji]

68. your lucky because she is 19

and kinda a pain in the ass right now.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

70. you shouldnt entrust a 19 year old girl to me.

just saying.

[purji]

75. well shes a pain

cuz shes pregnant.How much more trouble can she get into. ;-)

[Warren DeMontague]

52. Normally, we have to pay someone by the hour to take him.

You're saying you'll do it for free?

[DS1]

53. Oh yeah?

They're not allowed in our cult treehouse!




Cult members Boys only!

[jgraz]

55. If they need "something" in order to support our nominee, they're already beyond help

I forget ... what did all the Biden, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich and Richardson supporters get in exchange for not acting like children?

[goldcanyonaz]

56. probably an open bar until November 5th.

And a massive bong that is always fully packed and lit.

[wvbygod]

58. Admit the MLK, LBJ hysteria was started by the Obama team not the Clintons

The race card was played against Hillary, not the other way around.

The bigotry against Appalachia was a bad move too.

[democrattotheend]

59. If I recall it was started by the media (the LBJ thing)

But I do agree that that comment was taken out of context.

I don't recall anyone in Obama's campaign showing bigotry towards Appalachia. People on DU don't represent the campaign and Obama has no control over what we do or say.

[AllentownJake]

60. I'll

apologize for my own WV jokes...however my prejudice is the result of speeding tickets and not voting.

The first two...aren't going to happen.

[Arkansas Granny]

61. How about if you stop trying to force unity and just let it happen, as it probably will.

I would also like to see the hostility and insults toward Senator Clinton stop also. Just a little respect would be nice.

[Erin Elizabeth]

71. Respect on both sides, totally agree.

And I agree with not forcing it and letting things just heal.

I do have to brag: I work with a Hillary supporter and we've had nothing but respectful, productive discussions about this primary. We're both pretty proud of ourselves, LOL!

[Arkansas Granny]

93. Two of my children are supporting Obama. We've been able to discuss

issues in a sane and reasonable manner.

[MattBaggins]

80. I will go with that

But you have to admit it is a bit difficult when the boards are still flooded with Obama attack threads.

[Catherine Vincent]

65. What a moronic post!

[Erin Elizabeth]

69. I say this as an Obama supporter, but I think everyone

should just leave things alone for a while. By that, I don't just mean one side or another, but both sides. If you keep picking at a scab, it takes a lot more time to heal.

Just leave it be, I say. Which would mean this very forum would have to go away. So until this forum vanishes, the scab will probably keep getting picked by those wanting to pick it. On BOTH sides.

[Midlodemocrat]

72. I don't understand these posts. What makes you think that they

need or want anything? This smacks of pandering and gloating to me.

Disclaimer: Not an Obama Supporter, not a Clinton supporter. Democratic Candidate supporter in the GE.

[goldcanyonaz]

76. Jake is not a bad guy. He is one of my favorite O supporters.

[AllentownJake]

83. Thanks

:toast:

BTW the meatball recipe uses Jelly...how crazy is that?

[TexasObserver]

77. None of this is new, and it's handled a certain way in politics.

First, the candidate that is beaten has to be a gracious loser. They have to acknowledge they've lost, thank their supporters, compliment the candidate who beat them, swear to support the ticket, and ask their supporters to follow their lead.

Then, the winner graciously accepts that concession, says nice things about the loser, and urges his supporters to welcome with open arms the loser's supporters.

Then, the two sides start to mingle, and try to resolve some of the animus.

None of this can happen, however, when the loser continues on a path of inflicting destruction on the party and the presumptive nominee. No one on the Hillary side should expect anything but antipathy as long as her campaign is being a surrogate for John McCain. The losers have to step into line, then the winners graciously respond. Tantrums are for children, not adults working to get a new president.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

[goldcanyonaz]

88. And a keg of beer, and it must be cold and tapped.

[Lucky 13]

90. I think we need a good therapist in here...

Neither side can hear what the other is saying at this point. There is so much negativity and ill-will built up, our minds simply will not allow it. It's now a circular argument.

Hillary Supporter: "They were gloating jerks who shouted us down and insulted us if we didn't bow to their candidate"

Obama Supporter: "Yeah? Well they were irrational drama queens who are trying to destroy the party!"

Hillary Supporter: "See! You can't help but be rude. I'll never vote for Obama!"

Obama Supporter: "See! I told you they were irrational bitches!"


Sigh. We need an intervention.

[Harry Monroe]

91. 2 million in new crisp 100 dollar bills and a Learjet with a pilot to take us anywhere!!

This is not negotiable!! Fail to meet our demands and we'll destroy your party!! The clock is running.

96. Leave her alone. Quit bitchin' about her.

She will drop out after June 3rd - let her finish out the last couple of weeks in peace.

That's all I want.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

97. Me? I Want You To Quit Your Whinin And Just Let Things Be.

GDP is what GDP is. When it's all said and done, things will be fine for the most part. While we're still in it, quit your whinin and deal with it all lol.

[avenger64]

101. a convention.

A convention where the two sides can debate, and only then the superdelegates can decide who is the best nominee - and I believe that is Senator Clinton.

[kwenu]

102. They'd like for us to write-in en masse to the DNC saying let Hillary win even though she lost.

But that's not gonna happen.

[MonkeyFunk]

103. I don't want or expect anything from you.

Just don't want or expect anything from me.
