1. Thank you, John

[UALRBSofL]

6. Thanks for posting

Great endorsement. Also, keep getting those SD.

[rodeodance]

2. Thanks Senator

[MS Liberal]

3. Finally some good news.

[rodeodance]

7. yes!!

[rodeodance]

4. REC

[goldcanyonaz]

5. Okay, now this would be a GREAT endorsement!

:woohoo:

[rodeodance]

9. too bad and oldtime du'er has already infected this positive thread with poop!

[FrenchieCat]

8. Establishment Old timer.......from the past generation!

great for Hillary!

[rodeodance]

10. can't help but think your post is a dig!

[MonkeyFunk]

23. She can't help but insult

good dems who endorse Clinton.

The hate is so strong, it makes her say crazy things.

[rodeodance]

45. its programmed--like so many Obamacrickets.

[MonkeyFunk]

46. Terms like that aren't useful

seriously. We should all knock it off.

Certain individuals are worthy of disdain and mockery, but when you turn it into a group attack, it's just dumb.

[goldcanyonaz]

15. Much like Edward Kennedy, another old timer. What's wrong with old timers?

[Tom Rinaldo]

33. Glenn is a very solid endorsement for Hillary in Ohio

She has the brand new Democratic Governor and the revered old U.S. Senator in her camp in Ohio now; a good combination.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Is that all he means to you?

John Glenn is an American hero.

[goldcanyonaz]

21. Her suggestion is that he's just another "status quo" endorsement for Clinton.

[ingac70]

26. ....

Glenn was part of the Keating Five with McCain.

[MonkeyFunk]

41. God

you're just mean.

You did this to Gray Davis, and now to John Glenn? Just awful.

[fujiyama]

48. I'm a huge Obama supporter

but that was really unnecessary.

John Glenn is a great American.

[Iceburg]

60. Your agism insults are growing tiresome...he's an American hero!/nt

[onehandle]

62. You are so full of shit. nt

[Divine Discontent]

66. goodness you're slimy

every post is the WORST in every thread I see you. are you a militant crackpot? you spew venom without care about what you say, and it's pretty pathetic.

I'm fully behind Mr. Obama, but how DARE you slam, not only the age of a great American Hero (you obviously have no EFFFFFFFFFFFING clue who he is and his honorable senate service) who you just know as 'some old astronaut' from the tone of your comment, but also, one wonderful senator.

On behalf of, everyone it seems, quit being a total JERK, kay? I hate putting people on ignore, because they might actually say something I didn't know, or post a good thread - but you've really got nothing much to offer, now do you? Turn it off!

[Divine Discontent]

67. although I think it sucks for Obama

this is a big endorsement for people over 30-35. Sen. Glenn is an American Hero, and the popular Gov. also backs her, so she has a very strong chance of winning Ohio by 15-20%, which she needs.

[avrdream]

11. Good one.

I met him at a medical conference and, let me tell you, he was impressive! That man can think.

[rodeodance]

14. good to hear that. I have only listened to him on tv--long time ago

[JKaiser]

12. Yippie!

[Kermitt Gribble]

13. WooHoo!!!

K&R

[rodeodance]

16. needs a few RECs

[Clinton Crusader]

GREAT one!

[Rock_Garden]

17. Quality endorses quality.

[Hutzpa]

18. A former Senator is considered

major so desperate, it showing......oh stop, you making me .:blush:

[ingac70]

20. One of the Keating Five endorses Hillary...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five

[Xipe Totec]

24. Are you lost?

Free Republic is two gutters down, then take a hard right.

Post this crap over there; they love it when you bash Democrats.

[ingac70]

25. John Glenn was in the Keating Five with McCain.

A crook is a crook, no matter which party.

[Xipe Totec]

28. Glenn was exonerated

So I suggest you stop posting this crap which is inflammatory and a disservice to the Democratic party.

[ingac70]

30. Yeah, yeah. So was McCain...

but it is still ammo to be used against McCain this November. That's all we need is a candidate endorsed by someone else also involved in that scam.

[theHandpuppet]

54. Hate to tell you this...

But this is old news to folks in Ohio and they love him. Tearing down one of their most beloved heroes will only turn folks against whoever you presume to speak for and makes you look spiteful.

[polpilot]

59. 1991 Senate investigation: 'Glenn's crime was 'poor judgement'

deja vu...'poor judgment'? @ age 70...hmmmmmmm

[Xipe Totec]

65. Totally unlike the judgement exhibited by your post

:eyes:

[smalll]

50. Yet ANOTHER victim for the Altar of Obama?

How much good Democratic blood does your god need?


Troubling.

[Xipe Totec]

52. My God? Obama?

I'm not an Obama supporter, and I'm not the one bashing John Glenn.

Either you're confused or I am.

PS: your comment was indeed aptly small.

[smalll]

69. Sorry, I mis-constructed my sentence -- I wasn't intending the "your" of "your god" to apply to you,

but to the Obamaniacs. I responded to your post in agreement with your indignation of people trashing John Glenn just because he now supports Hillary. Since I was in error, your response is totally understandable. (We're on the same side.) :)

[Xipe Totec]

70. Ah, okay

I should have exercised some latitude too. Sorry!

I'm getting frustrated with the zealots on both sides of the Clinton-Obama divide.

If Jesus himself came down and endorsed either candidate, I swear the other side would crucify him again.

[Tennessee Gal]

22. He is one of my heroes!

Thank you John Glenn.

[LibinMo]

27. K & R

[VenusRising]

29. He endorsed Kerry, too.

[elixir]

31. Congratulations, Hillary!!

[KittyWampus]

32. Congrats, that's a great endorsement.

[Renew Deal]

34. Good for her. Didn't he retire?

No superdelegate love for her.

[cali]

35. Congratulations to Senator Clinton

that's a great endorsement. Love John Glenn.

[Thrill]

36. Does anyone care what Glenn does anymore. Couldn't deliver OH in 00 or 04

[aquarius dawning]

61. Who does BO have supporting him in Ohio out of curiosity?

Hillary also has the Governor's support and he's pretty popular around these parts too.

[bilgewaterbill]

37. A little "Old School" isn't he?

I think this endorsement would carry a little more weight in the GE against McCain. When I was a kid 40 yrs ago in Ohio, John Glenn was golden. Now?

[joshcryer]

38. John Glenn! WOOT. One of my personal heroes!

[Beacool]

39. Thank you senator Glenn!!!

I remember going to his ticker tape parade in NYC some years ago.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

40. Despite people's opinions about his choice, Glenn is a true American hero.

[DemGa]

42. Yes, an endorsement of substance...nt

[VolcanoJen]

43. A treasured endorsement from Ohio's Favorite Son.

John Glenn belongs to America, but we really, really like to brag on him here in Ohio. :-)

Congratulations to Hillary! I would have loved for my candidate to have snagged him.

[amisaid1]

44. Whoever your candidate is...

you have to admit that this is a nice endorsement. John Glenn is a wonderful human being.

[tandem5]

47. good news! nt

[fujiyama]

49. Congrats to Hillary!

Nice endorsement. John Glenn is a man worthy of admiration.

[gmudem]

51. Good for her.

And I'm not going to accuse him of being a traitorous Republican whose in bed with neo-cons just because didn't endorse the candidate I like.

[Perry Logan]

53. In the comic book of the Obamite mind, this makes John Glenn a sleazebag.

[rodeodance]

71. :-(

[bigtree]

55. nice

K&R!

[aquarius dawning]

56. An Ohio hero, an American hero, and, indeed, a world hero for all the days to come.

ya gotta love him.

[mtnester]

57. I would like to thank all of the posters who sent congratulations on this

As a lifetime Ohioan, John Glenn is one of our treasures here in this state. That endorsement means a LOT here. Maybe not to the rest of the country, but here, in Ohio, it means more than you can possibly imagine.

For those upthread who came in here to drop a turd on a national hero in order to appease their fantasy of self importance... I know I can be confident in saying most supporters of any candidate would not do this, so you are suspect. I saw good, confident Obama supporters say congratulations, and those are the folks everyone will be working side by side with WHICHEVER camp wins the nomination to rid the WH of its vermin in November.

It will be like presto...the rabbit disappears.

Again, thanks to EVERYONE who posted postive...although everyone is passionate about their choices, our goal is entirely the same in the end.

[Iceburg]

58. Science is our friend! So Hillary gets the Environmental nod (via RFK Jr) and the Science award

and Obama gets the vacuous million dollar Spears/Opra et al celebrity awards.

[ronnykmarshall]

63. Well all that time in space has effected his brain!!!

:sarcasm:

[HeraldSquare212]

64. I think the news would be if he didn't endorse - he's a Clinton supporter from way back

and is credited with convincing Bill to stay in the race early in the 1992 primaries.

[Indenturedebtor]

68. Congrats to HRC people

And dammit can't we have one positive thread. Shut up Obama people, and anyone with an "Obamite" comment can kiss my sweaty ass.

Again congrats HRC people. John Glen is an American Hero.

[knowledgeispwr]

72. Congrats to Hillary Clinton! n/t
