"And never tell them they have no place else to go. Could you guys be any less gracious in victory?"
It's really hard to be gracious. Really, the Clinton wack jobs say things that are simply untrue, repeat ad nauseum things that are simply outrageous, and simply will not discuss matters in any sensible manner.
There is a limit to what can be done. It's time for the Hillary people to make a basic decision:
1) Vote pro-choice (Obama) or pro-forced-pregnancy (McCain)?
2) Vote pro-contraception (Obama) or anti-contraception (McCain)?
3) Vote pro-withdraw from Iraq (Obama) or stay in Iraq for 100 Years (McCain)?
4) Vote pro-pay equity (Obama) or anti-pay equity (McCain)? Note that Lilly Ledbetter talked on Tuesday; if you are unfamiliar with her story, you should read up.
5) Vote pro-health care for all (Obama) vs pro-tax your current health coverage (McCain)?
6) Vote to end the Bush tax cuts for billionaires (Obama) or to keep them forever (McCain)?
If you support Obama/Hillary positions on these 6 issues, and are still voting for McCain, you are a fucking moron.
That's the problem with the Hillary dead end wacks. They agree with Obama and will continue to say that they will vote for McCain. As such, I have no problem calling them total morons, children, and remarkably stupid people.
Adults reason. Babies react emotionally.
"I'll bet you just lost half of the people reading this who were ready to get behind Obama."
You're a GOP troll, and whatever you say is just crap.
Go back and report to John McManyHouses. You have no place here.
"I really don't know what else she can do to convince everyone she is 100% for Obama with no ulterior motives or hidden messages."
Well, it comes down to the level of conversation. With the Hillary dead end wack jobs, they are either GOP trolls like whitecat or they are simply working from the reptile brain level. They are not rational.
Hillary made a clear and convincing argument. She clearly stated that she is 100 % on board with Obama, and that we cannot afford a Republican president at this time.
This has not altered the comments of many of the Hillary dead enders. Thus, I no longer believe that they can be moved. They are not thinking any more, just reacting at the animal or child level.
It's amazing to think that 40 years of feminist advances are going to be destroyed by these people. That's the end result of course - the destruction of feminist power in the Democratic Party. They do not seem clear about this, but that is true.
"He has to close the deal."
He already has closed the deal, for sensible adults. For overgrown babies who cannot think outside of their little emotional crap, there is no deal to be closed.
he has appeared with Clinton supporters. He has asked them for their vote. He has come on bended knee.
But for the Hillary dead end wacks, there is no closure.
The reasons are probably 3:
1) Many of them are simply racists
2) Many of them are simply resentful and stupid
3) Many of them are Repukeliscumian trolls
Obama is the nominee. It is time for adults to act like adults, for them to come to their own conclusion, and most importantly, to STOP THE FUCKING WHINING.
Obama won, fair and square. Hillary lost, due to her own failures and the lack of competent hires that she made. It is clear, in retrospect, that she is a very poor manager, and this more than anything caused her to lose.
Obama will ask in a mature way for those who believe in the Democratic ideals that he represents to vote for him. He will ask respectfully. I know that he will not beg, which is what these PUMA clowns want.
I have never, not even once (to my knowledge), voted, at any level from school board to president, for anything other than a Democrat. Never, not even once. At the local level, it's hard to tell at times, but like I say, to my knowledge.
So, no, I'm more than a yellow-dog dem. I'm a totally committed democrat, as many who grew up watching Nixon and his gang of fascist thugs became.
I am a Democrat.
Thanks for asking.
Respect is not something that people have. It is something that is earned. Once gone, it is lost forever.
That's where the Hillary dead enders are at now. They have lost all claims to respect. They got their month of mourning, and we were all respectful of them during that time. They got Barack on bended knee, begging for their vote. It sickened me to see it, but I understood the need.
But no, none of this converted the Hillary dead enders from selfish children to adults.
So, if we lose the 12-13 of them that still exist, I have no problem.
Because I have no problem with women. I'm married to one, have 2 as daughters.
I will not extend my respect to those that have, by willful stupidity, permanently branded themselves as idiots. NA GA DA IT.
You want respect, gain it.
"So far, this "foreign policy expert" hasn't made any statement on the developing situation in Georgia and the arrival of more American personnel in the Black Sea region. This omission was noted on the UK Channel 4 news programme this evening when British journalists were reporting on the Convention in Denver."
Are you aware that he, as a request of the president of Georgia, traveled there 2 weeks ago?
Is there any way of posting some picture to give us some idea? One person's notion of "over-the-top" may not be mine.
