Reply #29: He's right [View All]

There has been a great push for months saying Hillary should drop out immediately. That it's over.

I still don't see what the rush is?

You realize that Obama and Hillary share most of the same positions on most major issues and that right now Obama is ahead by about 7% (with Edwards delegates.)

I don't see why people have been DEMANDING that Hillary SHUT UP , sit down and leave. She and Bill have both been told to SHUT UP for nearly six months now. That seems undemocratic to me.

And the people here on DU seem more anti-Hillary than they seem anti-Republican.

Hillary is no VILLAIN. She's not INSANE. She's not a cold calculating robot that only craves power. She's not a racist. She's not trying to suppress vote. She's not trying to STEAL the nomination by changing the rule sin the middle of the game (the rules under which the superdelagates are free to choose the nominee if they don't get the required delegates before the convention.) She's not a fear monger because she ran the 3am ads. She DID NOT cry.

Hillary has been SAVAGED by people who I thought would have better sense. Ollberman has gone INSANE. DailyKos too.

I'm not saying you should vote for her, but i really think this site has been disproportionately hard one her.

Whoever the democratic nominee in the general election is (looks like Obama based on perception and pressure put onto the superdelegates (which is part of the game)) will face the same times of things form the Republicans.

And you'll see that as undemocratic at that time.


I'm voting Democratic this year.
