Why Hillary Clinton should be winning

Under a winner-take-all primary system, Hillary Clinton would have a wide lead over Barack Obama -- and enough delegates to clinch the nomination by June.

The letters thread is now closed.

Drop the ugly rhetoric

Accusing Obama of using the same tactics as Bush did in Florida is exactly the kind of nasty, baiting rhetoric that Hilary and her supporters need to stop using.

@ damnthatxanadu

I know, the hate speech is surprising when it comes from the left...but the irony is they don't even realize when they become what they hate.

tom payne has written 10 letters on this one article; all horribly mean, insulting and juvenile. He says he's 61 but I've seen better writing from a 10 year old. Perhaps he's off his meds? Or perhaps he has been touched by an angel and doesn't know any better? I dunno, but he seems to have been touched by an asshole, not an angel.

Here are his posts, all of the gems. I'm sure this will draw another blistering one, no doubt.

horseshit

the democrats should turn repthuglikan so hillary can win? my ass. proportional representation: what a scandal. PIss off.

rubberta, firsy in line

Idiot. republikan troll. Obama is winning by the only measures that count: delegates, and votes. The rest is straw, much like the interior of your empty cranium. Take you freshman logic, fold it origami style, and insert it in the orifice of your choice. Billary is losing and will continue to lose. Boo fucking hoo.

Billary Road Apples

Of all the things I've ever read in Salon- and that goes back eight years- this is the biggest bundle of bullshit by a billary mile. a billary mile is either longer or shorter than a true mile, depending on how Her Highness is feeling at the time. She is losing- a sane person, which leaves out the sheep bleating on this thread this morning- would know that there is no chance for her to overtake Obama, and only a very public, lengthy, televised convention blood letting would give her any chance to bribe, bitch, or blather her way with the stupordelegates. That would greatly increase the odds for McLame to win an election in which he has no chance. Any residual affection I might have felt for the Clintons- who did do some admirable things in their time in Washington- has evaporated. I think he's a ego-bloated scold and that she's a conniving, duplicitous douche bag. They'd do the country a great service by doing that of which they are utterly incapable: accepting defeat with grace. Again- I will, with great reluctance, vote for the shrew if she finagles her way, squirming through loopholes coated in KY jelly, into the nomination. I will never vote for a republikan. Ever. Even the Klintoonians ain't that bad. They're getting close, though. Here's a middle finger salute to billary, this bilgewater article, and the brain dead 'bots posting in support of the most anti-democratic manure I've had the misfortune to have foisted on me. Piss off, the lot of you. And no, you can't have your ball back.

If you believe this crap....

You might be a moron. Strike that. You are a moron. This is the sticky residue remaining when vomit dries, as billary's chances have dried to the national barroom floor. And, Merry Dumbass, fight me, write me, ignite me, bite me. The Who hasn't made anything worth a shit since Who's Next. That must be why you chose them to quote. Nothing more recent and whine-drenched like Avrille Levagina or whatever her repugnant name is. Something's happening and you don't know what it is, do you, Klintoon Jones?

Hhatchet

Ah, to the payne. Princess Bride, final act. We love that movie. Billary would be the overconfident sicilian dwarf who laughs at the iocaine powder until he falls over dead. Never go in against a Klintoonian when a nomination's on the line, ahhh, hhaaa, hhaa, ha, ha, uhhhh. Plop. Bye Billary.

life and death

yes, bloomsbury, life and death. or, for billary, lie and death. she helped hand Bush the keys to the family tank to invade Iraq. 4020 dead americans, 500K dead Iraqis, 2 million refugees, massive infrastructure failures (while things are blown up again and again and Halliburton and KBR fix 'em). She is complicit in that death. She NEVER apologizes. Ever. Wanna see what an apology looks like? On April 4 at the Lorraine Motel, McCain did not attempt to explain away his "no" vote on making MLK's birthday a national holiday. He said- can you absorb this?- "I was wrong". How hard is that? too damned hard for Billary. Too much pride, too much amibitchin', too much ego. She tries to humanize herself with faux blubbering. Bullshit. Apologize. And then leave. Have you brain dead sheep been noting the delegate erosion for Princess Bile? She's down about 170 now, and falling. Don't piss and moan about the rules. Obama didn't make them up. He just outstrategized her sorry ass into what is now inevitable oblivion. Well deserved oblivion. Oblivion she's earned with every lie, every scold, every bobble-headed spewing of skewed facts. Bye, Billary.

damnthatmoron

You couldn't find your petard, retard. Count the delegates. Note the polls for upcoming states. Kiss your flabby ass goodbye. love Heywood

petards for retards

an interesting side note, for all you closet racists and fembots: the derivation of petard is middle english and shares the same root as breaking wind. So, how apropos that Billary buttheads references are farts. who smelt it to dealt it.

drooger booger

Yes. You, you genius you, you've hit it. I was wondering what I found remarkable about Obama. It's his uncanny resemblance, both physically, intellectually, and vocally, to Jim Jones. How could have missed it in my kool-aid blurred, messianic-glazed vision? thank you, drooger booger m.d. for unmasking what should have been screamingly obvious. Now, remove that finger you have rammed up your nostril and type us another insight. It takes a mighty short dipstick to measure the shallow mentalities of the Bots for Billary.

damnthatracisttool

not everyone. you, cretin, certainly. count the delegates. take off your shoes if that helps. as far as assholes, I'd say you don't even qualify as an entire asshole, merely a clenched sphincter. Grab yer ankles. Billary's gonna be done by the end of the month, flying spastically overhead like a punctured condom.
