That's the difference between real Democrats and PUMA's. For example, if Clinton won the nomination, I'd GLADLY vote for her in November. Why? Because I am a RATIONAL ADULT who puts COUNTRY before EGO and VANITY and SELFISHNESS.
Real Democrats represent the Power of We.
PUMAs and Republicans are still obsessed with ME. "Give me what I want, fuck everybody else."
I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you people. How can you be so insanely selfish and live with yourselves?
if Obama had WON the primary fairly, we would support him 100%.
But it was rigged and stolen from Hillary. And we're not gonna take it!
ARG!
Do you really not understand that this is a deeply vacuous statement?
To compare it to sports, this is like the statement: "the team that's leading at halftime generally wins" or "the team that scores the most in the third quarter generally wins". Well, duh. A team wins because they overall score more points, so they "generally" score more points in any given part of the game too.
Pick any positive sign for a candidate; any one you like. The winning candidate will generally exhibit that sign.
Without "crunching the numbers," you know that the candidate going into the convention with the highest poll numbers "generally wins" and I'll bet that the candidate who has the highest numbers at midnight on Halloween generally wins.
you and the gang of four are not gonna take what exactly?
if we were just a gang of four, Obama would not be losing in the polls. 8 years of idiot Bush, and Mccain is still ahead.
We're not going to take your crap. We're not going to take Obama's lies. And we're not going to let the democratic party walk all over its traditional "base".
Obama will lose, and we'll have Hillary in four years. It will be worth the wait. I just hope they kick that Peolsi out. What a c$%t!!!!!!!
The profane sniping & caterwauling in these letters are perfect companions to the decrepit stench embodied by the interviews of three inside-the-entrenched-system cave dwellers. If this is the reality of our electoral discourse, we deserve whatever gets squeezed out, irrespective of party affiliation. The political class of party pols and media-abetted corporatists would revel in this idiocy.
Various writers keep saying what an asset she'd be - how she's great at policy etc. - however her campaign was mismanaged and there was lots of infighting; large amounts of money were wasted in January which is why she ran out at the end; not to mention Bill and some of his questionable remarks and both of them endorsing McCain at various points? How exactly would that help Obama in a general election? If people are bent out of shape about Edwards do you think Bill's love life wouldn't come front and center again? I know people who have seen him in public with other women so it wouldn't take long. . .
I think Hillary has alot to offer and could be a good candidate - however she's not it this time -- there are 18 million people who voted for the other candidate - that's the way the process works. And to get elected in this country it's about electorcal votes. It's great to want to change the system but currently we have to work with what we have.
If "PUMAS's" will feel better saddling their young daughters and grandaughters with the end of Roe v. Wade and their children with enormous debt and erasure of the middle class -then please vote for McCain. But quit pretending that you care about what's best for the country or anyone else except yourselves and wanting to be relevant after a loss. Obama is accommodating the Clintons above and beyond -- and I believe they will do the same - because they know their own political futures are at stake. Hopefully their real supporters (and not the one's masquerading just to stir things up) will do the same and support whomever the Democratic candidate is.
If when Hillary Clinton gets up to do her speech she starts off with the usual stuff about how the country is hurting, people are hurting, blah blah blah and then says:
"....and that's why I stand before you today as the Vice Presidental candidate for the United States of America!"
and then Obama walks out, they terrorist fist-jab and lock hands?
The crowd would go APESHIT...there'd be a 20 minute long ovation...and the two of them standing there, taking it all in would look invincible.
honestly...how fucking awesome would that be??
you sound like a pig in a poke just ready to go broke.
No blood in the man. But then, he's a Democrat, and we're pretty damned bloodless. Dean? oh, he screamed! Gore? oh, remember when he seems so angry!!! and Edwards, and his whole class war thing!
Nobody, and I mean nobody, has gone after Bush. Nobody has repudiated that man. And certainly not Obama, not before McCain got in the running, and now it's too late to go after Bush.
Going after McCain is petty. It's the policies that are no good.
But where oh where are the policies of Obama? what does he really want to do? Energy? Health? Infrastructure? Education? Technology?
"McCain has 7 houses so he's out of touch..." Nonsense. Everyone who's making it is out of touch! And anyone who's not making it isn't gonna run for office.
It is oh so sad.
Some stuff in this country is bad. Obama ought to have the guts to say so. It's not unAmerican to find things we need to fix!
Give that man some blood. Can't he be an angry American without getting pigeon holed as just an angry black man?
Whatever the American dream is, we know for certain that first we want our children to be safe, to be healthy, to be smart, to persue happiness, fresh air, clean water. Safe and happy. That's America. All this other stuff is shopping, big cars and houses and boats and we will NOT put that ahead of our children.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
