LTTE from a Hillary supporter

[proud2BlibKansan]

Keep fighting, Hillary

If it ends up that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee for president, the party will call on all of Hillary Clinton’s supporters to do the “right thing” and put their support behind Obama.

Why should we? Hillary has been ridiculed, smeared, treated like a dog and finally thrown to the wolves. If you are a woman, you should be outraged. If you are a Democrat you should be ashamed of your party. If you are someone who really loves this country, you should flood the offices of the media moguls and the political analysts with letters and e-mails telling them you oppose the way they have shown disrespect to an American hero.

Hillary had the guts to stand up to Big Oil, the health-care industry and the good ol’ boys club. She took that stand, knowing full well that it could possibly cost her the nomination. She is our voice, and we have all but let our party silence that voice.

I am calling on all Hillary supporters to let the Democratic Party know how we feel by voting for John McCain if Hillary is not the nominee.

1. What's the matter with Kansas, indeed. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. LOL she is from Missouri

Even Kansas won't claim this lunatic.

[NewHampshireDem]

12. Yeah, I'm an idiot ... I tried two snarky lines and went with the one that made me look stupid

I lived in STL for a couple of years, so I should know better. :doh:

[yellowcanine]

67. We don't actually know where she is from. It says "Kansas City". There is a Kansas City in both

Missouri and Kansas, though the one in Missouri is larger and is usually what is meant. However Kansas City Kansas is actually a legitimate city as the third largest city in Kansas.

Edit to add link to Kansas City Kansas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_City,_Kansas

[totodeinhere]

17. So you are willing to vote for a third Bush term just because your feelings are hurt...

over your perception of the way Clinton has been treated? That just doesn't make any sense. Isn't the welfare of our country more important that how any one candidate may or may not have been treated in this campaign?

[NEDem]

32. The post you are replying to didn't say anything like that.

[totodeinhere]

36. Sorry, I meant to reply to the thread's OP.

56. Looks like Marcia's stay was brief.

Au revoir Marcia.

[proud2BlibKansan]

63. Her friend Dorothy wrote a LTTE today

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6156421&mesg_id=6156421

[DJ13]

2. Why should you support the Democratic nominee if its not Clinton?

Because you're not Republicans?

You figure it out....

[Swamp Rat]

3. There are a few nutjobs out there, but that person may be in the employ of McCain and Karl Rove

GOP PSYOPS

4. That isn't the first LTTE written by an idiot, and it won't be the last. eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

64. No here's another one already in today's paper

53. You are Marcia??

Read the rules here Marcia. We get to care about what you wrote because we are DEMOCRATS and this is DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND. You don't get to come here and post support for a Republican.

I am also from KC and you are an embarrassment to good Democrats here.

[Bluerthanblue]

6. oh Marcia-

you need to stop shoulding on people.

peace~

[EFerrari]

7. Wackamoles.

Clinton stood up to the healthcare industry? Does that mean she gave back their donations? :wtf:

[tishaLA]

8. Certainly you're not advocating this position, right?

You should make that clear in the OP, because advocating voting for McCain over the Democratic nominee isn't cool here.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. I posted it without declaring my own choice, figuring it would speak for itself

As it does.

But for the record, I am an Obama supporter.

9. Unfortunately I've heard other similar comments recently

I'm hoping Hillary gets out soon so we can bring these folks back into the fold. Accusing her of wanting Obama dead isn't going to help our party to unite and isn't going to help Obama in the GE.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. She doesn't want Obama dead?

Did she change her mind?

[wvbygod]

66. What evidence do you have that shows Hillary wants Obama dead?

Not even the most rabid faux outrage Obama supporter has made such a lunatic claim as such.
So where did you get the idea she wants or wanted harm to come to Obama?

[marions ghost]

10. Another woman needing a heroine...

don't we all...:shrug:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. *Shrug* McCain, like Hillary, advertises himself as the candidate of the status quo.

And, both advertise themselves as "American heroes".

[LaurenG]

15. Cest'le vie... I don't care anymore nt

[Medusa]

18. I am a woman. And I'm outraged that Hillary is some sort of "role model"

for all women. Sure if you want your role model to be a lying, cheating, scheming, overly-ambitious race-baitingshrew, yeah, sure, then she's your girl. That says far more about both you and her than it does about me. She is not my role model.

[Arugula Latte]

38. Yeah. What she said.

I was just going to post something very similar.

Hillary is not ALL woman, she is A woman. And she doesn't speak for me. And I'm sick of her whiney-ass complaining and inability to accept reality.

19. So by "standing up" to these industries, we are talking about her in line to make the bank deposit?

[izquierdista]

20. Stood up to the health care industry

Like a house of cards in a tornado.

[The River]

22. Absolutely!

Her Leadership on Health Care Reform in 92 saved me
from medical bankruptcy in 98. :sarcasm:

[Jazzgirl]

21. deleted

I misread the OP. Phew! Proud, I thought you wrote that, LOL!

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Only if I completely lose my mind

And I am not even close.

Yet.

:rofl:

[tularetom]

23. I just don't know what to say anymore

Hillary never "stood up" to power in her life.

She had this nomination in the bag. Name recognition, money, a campaign organization that was praised by all in punditland. Now its all turned to crapola and the faithful can't accept that it was all bullshit from the start. She really lacks any kind of moral honesty and it shows.

I feel sorry for those who have invested so much psychic energy in a phony.

To me Obama is still somewhat of an unknown quantity. But in this case the known is so horribly unqualified I'm more than willing to take the risk.

[thoughtcrime1984]

24. POTS! PANS! nt

[CreekDog]

25. I DID NOT TREAT HER a certain way because she was a woman

i thought she was not as good a candidate as Obama, in part because she began saying ridiculous things with too much frequency.

there is no way that is sexist. my change of mind was not against women and i'm frustrated that i can't simply be against Hillary and it be a strike or offense against women.

that's just wrong.

[quantass]

26. Face it, Obama out-organized, out-performed, and did it with class, and thats how u win a nomination

It was not because she was a woman...it was because she showed her true self and the people have spoken..she isn't their choice...the american people want change, not more lies.

[VotesForWomen]

27. Haven't a lot of O supporters said that they wouldn't vote for clinton if she got the nom?

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. No, only a few

Not nearly as many as Hillary supporters who swear they will vote for McCain.

[dana_b]

30. right

and did those Obama supporters say something as idiotic as they would be supporting McCain? probably not.
That "logic" just baffles me. McCain??? Are you fucking serious?? why wouldn't the OP just shoot themselves in the gut? It might be less painful than 4 years of McCain!

[proud2BlibKansan]

34. I am hoping they don't vote at all

[JoFerret]

33. Yes. Fauxtrage cuts both ways

.

[LaurenG]

35. No but you might start hearing it

I don't know if they'll do it or not but last night I was sure I would never vote for her. Fortunately I have calmed down now.

People are going to do what they're going to do there isn't anything anyone can do about their personal choices. I guess we'll see when the time comes.

[Irishonly]

31. Awful

To vote for McCain instead of the democratic nominee which will be Senator Obama is cutting your nose off to spite your face. These people sound like spoiled brats and would risk the SCOTUS, more war and a worsening economy because their chosen candidate isn't winning.

This primary season has made democrats look at the dirty dark secrets hidden in a closet. There has been sexism in the race but some of the claims of Hillary supporters are just plain stupid. I am sick and tired of hearing threats of not voting for the nominee or we had better be nice to them because we need them. Have they not considered the country needs them to do the right thing?

According to the pundits I should be a Hillary supporter. I am a white woman over 50 although I have a college degree. I never supported her and when I read letters like the one posted it turns my stomach. I remember fighting the system and we sure in hell didn't whine.

IMHO, there has been a lot more racism in this silly season. White voters have admitted the reason they will not vote for Obama is because he is black. It's been difficult learning how back wards the country still is. Senator Obama has handles the basest criticisms with grace and dignity. No wagging fingers nor boo hooing about the mean old press. Before he won Iowa, people were questioning if he was black enough. No one has ever asked me if I were Irish enough.

It's too bad that people like Liebold fantasize they are democrats, they aren't.

[thewiseguy]

39. DU is making a comeback!

:bounce:

[dailykoff]

40. Sincerely, Marcia Penn Wolfson Kristol Diebold Liebold.

Uh huh.

[baldguy]

42. Thats a McCain supporter.

Sure she's been ridiculed, smeared, treated like a dog and finally thrown to the wolves.

SHE LOST!

[Beacool]

43. Since you're an Obama supporter, why post this letter?

Do you think that the woman who wrote the letter is the exception? Then you'll be quite surprised, many people feel the same way as she does and have no intention of voting for Obama. The posts insulting people like her only prove how blindsided some of you are about a guy who plenty consider undeserving of the presidency.

[Warren DeMontague]

52. Any DEMOCRAT who refuses to vote for the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE is an ASSHOLE.

And yes, I will "insult" them twelve ways from here to Sunday, because -if they really are what they claim to be- they are FUCKED IN THE HEAD.

[Beacool]

54. Hey, we are not the Borg.

We will not be assimilated. I would have said the same thing if Hillary were the nominee. It's not fascism, people can vote or not vote as they please.

[Warren DeMontague]

55. That's right, they can. And I can call them what they are, an ASSHOLE.

And if Hillary gets the nom, anyone who doesn't vote for the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE will still be an ASSHOLE.

[scarletwoman]

57. Well, I for one find it interesting to read what someone has to say who intends to vote against

the Democratic candidate. It helps me clarify my own thoughts. My overriding priority is a Dem in the White House next January. I'd like to have as many people as possible as allies who share that goal.

I'm looking for ways to make peace and calm anger.

Peace,
sw

[Beacool]

60. It ain't going to happen.

I mean the peace and calm part. There are many people who will not forget and automatically vote like drones in Nov.

[proud2BlibKansan]

59. It proves how delusional some Hillary supporters are

I also found it quite entertaining to tell you the truth.

[Beacool]

61. Nope, it just proves that not everyone will vote for the nominee

that is being shoved down our throats. That's all..........

[dailykoff]

62. You really need to chill.

We get that you're disappointed but you're going to get canned and that would be a shame.

[proud2BlibKansan]

65. Actually it indicates a bit of insanity, IMO

Here's Marcia's friend Dorothy

:hi:

[dana_b]

47. I "should"??

I "should" do what my heart and mind tells me. Support Obama.

[Warren DeMontague]

50. She's a Democrat like I'm a Creationist.

I call bullshit.
