What comes off as the ganging up on Hillary Clinton here is having the opposite effect some of you probably intended. Clinton was probably among my least favorites for the nom, but when it has come to the point that I can't come to GD without seeing at least five or six Hillary-bashing threads on the front page it really makes me wonder just exactly who's running scared here. The Hillary bash-fest comes across like an organized effort to undercut the Democratic frontrunner, like her or not. And there comes a point where the piling on really sours this voter. Just something for y'all to consider if you can lower the flamethrowers for a few minutes. If you want to promote your candidate, then tell me what he or she stands for and why you feel they're best suited for the job. But simply bashing Hillary Clinton into the ground over and over is turning me off big time -- it even smacks of more than a hint of misogyny.

I'm very willing to listen to why some of you support the candidates that you do. If I can get past the cacophony of Hillary bashing here, I might even hear you.
