I fully support Obama and I can't stand Hillary at all .....................BUT....
that is nothing to what I think of the rethugs and the possibility of them keeping the WH!!!

Needless to say, I think Obama is our best candidate and best chance for getting the WH.

IMO, Hillary is a lying, stealing, ruthless backstabber who will do whatever she can to get what she wants no matter how dishonest it is, or who she has to destroy to get it. She will say anything to get what she wants and the truth be damned. I feel like throwing up with the thought of the Clinton drama in the WH again for the next 4 - 8 years.

Before now it would have been a cold day in hell before I'd vote for "her"!

HOWEVER, now - if she becomes the nominee then I will fully support her. I will support whoever the nominee is, regardless of how they get it. I don't care if it is done "unfairly" or above board. Sometimes life isn't fair and you just have to play the hand you get.

This election is too important to do otherwise. So, with this in mind I will not make anymore Hillary attacks. The real enemy is the rethugs and I will not add to the bad feeling in this forum.

Anyway, just think how fun it will be to see the rethugs heads spin around if Hillary wins!

1. any Democrat is better than any Republican.
I'd vote for Lieberman before I voted for anyone with an R behind their name.

2. I believe about Obama all the things you say about Clinton.
He "is a lying, stealing, ruthless backstabber who will do whatever (he) can to get what (he) wants no matter how dishonest it is, or who (he) has to destroy to get it." etc.

And I will have an immense amount of difficulty voting for him. In addition to him being the dirtiest campaigner I've EVER seen in the Democratic Party, and one of the most dishonest men I've seen in ANY party, he is so lacking in anything that resembles the proper experience or lifetime of involvement that one would want in a president that I am absolutely certain he will fail as president, if he even wins, and will catapult the Republicans into another decade of power in four years.

If I have to vote for him, it will literally be the hardest vote I've ever cast, and I mean that with the passion of someone who considers voting one of the highest expressions of freedom and idealism. I have only once before voted for a candidate I couldn't make myself like, and I liked him better than I like Obama.

But I know I will vote for him. The alternative is unthinkable.

4. Wait...
So now Hillary lies and steals! The last time I saw irrational Clinton hating like this was from the right-wing in the late 90s. How nice of Obama supporters to pick up the slack.

5. "irrational Clinton hating"
What would you define as *rational* Clinton hating?

I think hating cluster bombs is rational.
I think hating a war, and a policy, that has killed upwards of a million people is rational.

How about you?

7. It's irrational to hold Clinton responsible for the war
It's Bush's war. Obama continues to fund it, too.

9. She wanted it too.
13 minutes is all I ask. Here's her explanation to Code Pink:

It's kind of brutal to watch, knowing about the NIE, the stove-piping lies, and her words about Iran.

10. It's Bush's war
If Clinton had voted No, not a single thing would be different today. To put the blame on her is just irrational.

8. I'll tell you why I don't want her as the nominee
The level of vitriol and sheer hatred she inspires from the Right. It downright scares me, and I don't want these people feeling that energized and motivated to vote.

I was exhausted after the Clinton years. 8 years of defending them left me out of gas. They don't make life easy for people to defend them. I am not game for "The Clinton Wars II".

But also, I fail to see how she can win over independents (which is John McCain's specialty) and moderate Republicans.
