Don't Respond to Cythera45
He/she is constantly posting trying to stir up 4th grade level arguments. Don't feed it.

2012?
Just remember, the Mayans predicted the world would end on 12/21/2012. Maybe that's the result of a McCain Presidency and a second Clinton Campaign.

I Know You Are, But What Am I?
"Strangely Enough, maybe some folks hate Obama supporters because you are arrogant, smug, hectoring, race-baiting haters yourselves...? Coul it be?"
Uh, no, not really. The notion that if you opposed Clinton you were a "hater" was one of the first memes out of HRC supporters' mouths. It didn't sit well a year ago, and it's even less true now. Many of us who find Clinton unsavory object to her votes on Iraq and Iran, her hypocrisy, her failures, her use of hatred for race and religion, and her lies.
The claims you make about BHO supporters are all simply the truth about HRC, her campaign, and many of her supporters. This is actually a typical GOP tactic: claim that what's true about you is the truth about your opponent. This is why we find HRC, her campaign, and her supporters so repulsive.

Next time
A woman president would be fine with me, just not this one, not anymore. Clinton lost me for good with the "CINC threshold" nonsense.
Pelosi? Feinstein? There are plenty of good choices, women who really have devoted their professional lives to service to country. Women who really have accomplished things in the bad times and helped bring on better times. Women who made their mark with their own work and their own names.
I'll still vote for clinton if she is the nominee but it will ONLY be for the sake of the Supreme Court nominations 2008-2012 which are critically important. And any Clinton supporter who will not vote for Obama and hand SCOTUS decisions to a republican for another 4 years doesn't deserve to be called a democrat.

But you're feeding it, dash_7, you're feeding it
And your level of commentary is pre-school, frankly.

Dr. Zachary Smith, you casually toss around words like
"unsavory" and "repulsive" about those you oppose, and yet you are not a hater? Doesn't hold water, sorry.
-
No other conclusion is possible
Yes, Clinton cares only about herself and not the party. Given her tactics, I don't see any other conclusion. The sooner she leaves the race, the better for the party.

The Meme of Hate
"Dr. Zachary Smith, you casually toss around words like
"unsavory" and "repulsive" about those you oppose, and yet you are not a hater? Doesn't hold water, sorry."
Trust me; it's not casual. Still not hate, though. Thorough dislike, at this point, of you and yours, you betcha. But you've gone out of your way to earn it, let's face it.

Politics is a Circle . . .
because the far-left and the far-right both have an irrational hatred of the Clintons. From the 1992 to today.
The Republicans drove the mainstream moderates out of their party years ago.
Now the MoveOn-DailyKos-HuffPost libs are trying to drive the moderates out of the Dem party.
Clinton-haters on the left and right who keep saying "her career is over", or "she's unelectable" choose to ignore that she's got millions of voters and supporters. Hard to ignore that half of the Democrats support her, yet they do.
Actually, she's gotten the majority of Dem votes in the primaries, because Obama's primary victories are mostly in "open" primaries, which people not affiliated with the Dem party can vote. We're literally letting people who aren't Democrats choose our nominee. Stupid us.
Now, I think Obama is gonna get the nomination on June 3rd. I also think he's gonna lose 49 states in November. A candidate who loses the majority of whites, the majority of Hispanics, and the majority of asians is gonna lose CA, NY, and NJ. Especially since McCain is a moderate who wants to give the illegals amnesty.
The country doesn't elect effete, liberal, intellectuals who dsn't understand working-class people President of the United States. Obama's another McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, or Kerry. And the libs love him because of it.
But there are millions of us Reagan Democrats who will become McCain Democrats in November.
So, when Obama get wiped-out in Nov, expect all us Clinton supporters to say "I told you so", and to start donating to her 2012 campaign fund, to drag the party back to the center again.
IMHO.

Politics is a Circle . . . (rev1)
Apologize for the typos:
"the 1992" = "the 1992 election"
"dsn't" = "don't"
Gotta proof-read better . . .

"Reagan Democrats": Getting Fooled Again
"A candidate who loses the majority of whites, the majority of Hispanics, and the majority of asians is gonna lose CA, NY, and NJ."
Sure. This makes sense only if you think that the people who voted for HRC are suddenly going to turn around and vote Republican. Or simply stay home.
To which I respond, "Huh?" The only way this is going to happen is if HRC supporters are either racists or so far right that they can't conceive of supporting a "liberal" (so HRC is markedly less liberal than BHO? Reeeely?). In other words, these folks aren't really Democrats--they're Reagan Republicans (i.e., "gullible morons"; there are no "Reagan Democrats")who find comfort in HRC.
And if that's the case, then why on earth should anybody even slightly left-of-center want to support HRC?
See, the argument just falls apart on any kind of close examination. Either Democrats will vote for a Democrat in the fall, or they aren't Democrats.
"The country doesn't elect effete, liberal, intellectuals who dsn't understand working-class people President of the United States."
If you really think this, then you're not a Democrat. Good Democrats don't use terms like "effete" (by definition, isn't HRC more effete than BHO?). They actually like intellectuals (i.e., "people who like to think"). But hey, if you feel this way, go vote for McCain. You're welcome to him, his endless war, and his continued destruction of the economy. If that's what you want, you'll get it under Bush III. We're just afraid we'll get it under Clinton II also.

WTF?
"The country doesn't elect effete, liberal, intellectuals who dsn't understand working-class people President of the United States."
Yeah, so true. I remember back in the day when Clinton was working construction to pay her way through community college and going bow-hunting for deer in Missouri... She's one of the workin' folk! The kinda person a fellar could take a shot of kentucky bourbon with and talk football! (Never mind that she's the wife of a two term ex-president who lives in a multi-million dollar house and has an ivy-league law degree!)
