Hillary supporters only, please.

[jasmine621]

A clear case of realism tells me that despite our best efforts and desires, Obama is going to win the nomination. I hope we all can agree to support him if he does.

More importantly, I think we should be prepared to offer some much needed support to Hillary at the appropriate time, after she concedes (I know, it is even difficult for me to type this.). Can someone who is a sincere Hillary supporter and who has more computer literacy than I, organize a way to send our heartfelt congrats and regrets to Hillary just to let her know that there are millions of us out here who still support and appreciate her? She has faced many challenges and survived them well but this time it's different for her because so many people that she has worked with and worked for have deserted her for what they believe is a more promising candidate. I do not hold that against them if that is their true belief. But I do want Hillary to know and feel that countless others still regard her as a competent and decent person.

[LisaM]

1. I agree. I know that Barbara Boxer loved the flowers that people sent her

a few years back when she challenged the electoral slate.

More to the point, I also think it's important to let the Obama campaign know that there ARE millions of Hillary supporters out there, that if he wins the nomination, we are disappointed, and that he needs to find a way to make sure we are acknowledged. Putting her on the ticket would be a good way to go.

[xultar]

12. No, he should not put her on the ticket. Cuz if he loses, she'll be the blame.

Hillary is done. She will stick it out in the senate and then retire.

[mkultra]

2. i know that i may not be welcome in this thread

but if you can compose something that comes from all of DU, i would like to sign it as well. I still feel that she is a great person and a brilliant progressive activist.

[saracat]

3. I wouldn't bet the farm that she is out yet.That is buying spin. But your gesture

is lovely.I hope it isn't needed. And there are many supporter who will not be duped by Obama. And nothing Obama does will change my mind.

[tyne]

4. I'll just say it

"How dare you"?

[saracat]

6. How dare I what? ?????

[AX10]

9. Not support "Saint Obama".

[tyne]

10. Call supporters of Obama "duped"

Do you have any idea how condescending that is?

[saracat]

14. Why are you in a thread for Hillary supporters? And I really could care less what you think

this is not directed at you. It was a question of what to do for a nice gesture to Hillary.Not all Hillary supporters care for Barack.And yes, I thinK Obama supporters are "duped". Obama is presenting hims43elf as something he is NOT> I do not LIKE your candidate and I have no obligation to.Go praise Obama on a Obama thread, or start another of the hundreds to join the rest of the idolatry.

[tyne]

19. So...

it would be okay for Obama supporters to call Hillary supporters JUST men-haters or men who have mommy issues?

Look, I don't care that you don't like Obama, but to totally knock down his supporters is childish.

I don't know, maybe it's a good idea (for the dem party) to lose some of its members who think in certain terms.

[libbygurl]

20. What the hell are you doing here? Go away, shoo! No one needs or wants your opinion...

...on this thread. You have only 10,000 other pro-Obama threads on Obama Underground, you know.

[LittleClarkie]

62. They are here because this is an open forum. There is a Hillary group for exclusive Hillary posts

where no one would be allowed to bother Hillary supporters if they wanted to talk amongst themselves.

That's what my fellow Kerry people do. As annoying as it can be to have people you don't want on a thread in GDP, it's to be expected.

Private conversations should be held on the private forum.

[saracat]

24. I think you are proving something here.Do you realize that most supporters of other candidates

consider the supporters of their opposition "duped", Don't you think that many McCain supporters are "duped"? Or do you think they are correct to believe McCain is the greatest thing next to sliced bread? What about the supporters of Romney? Were they "duped" ? Or are we not allowed to question the validity of democratic opposition? And you still haven't explained what you are doing flaming away in a thread that was specifically addressed to Hillary supporters.

[Seabiscuit]

38. If I didn't already have that twerp on ignore, it's subthreads like this that get my "ignore" button

tingling.

[woolldog]

hmm

[bellasgrams]

61. Good post saracat. Hillary is definately the best.. I just can't see

anything good enough about BO (yes I do refer to him as BO for a reason)for him to be a President of the US. City Council? Yes.

[AX10]

5. HRC, win or lose, I am out of here soon.

I have no need to be around these extremists.
If she gets the nomination, she will be villified around here, so there so in need to be here. Besides, then I will be working on the campaign. If she loses, I will be out of here because I have no one to work for. I will write-in her name in November.

[MrsT]

26. Why not leave now?

I think you are far from a positive force on DU lately. I find Hillary and Obama supporters who want to take their ball and go home equally embarrassing. McCain thanks you for your write in.

[AX10]

35. I thought I would stay around until Tuesday to..

see if she wins.
It is my vote and I have the right to do with it as I please.
That is democracy.

[MrsT]

44. Yes, you are free to write in George W Bush if you like

and it would be just as helpful to America as writing in someone other than our nominee.

[AX10]

47. I have to the right to vote for whom I want to.

[MrsT]

51. Yes you do.

And by the way, I have no intention of reading your PM to me. I have read enough of your posts to realize we are unlikely to have any sort of meaningful discussion. I know there are very few people here who can recognize that every candidate has their annoying supporters here, but I am one of them. I am not going to become an idiotic Clinton supporter just because there are a bunch of idiotic Obama supporters. I am not going to take my ball and go home.

[AX10]

59. You read my PM alright.

[MrsT]

64. I can assure you, I did not

If you have anything to discuss with me, you can do it in front of everyone else.

[AX10]

66. Indeed you read it.

[MrsT]

67. Thanks for proving my point.

See the meaningful and intelligent dialogue you serve up?

Am not.
Are too.
Am not.
Are too.
Obama sucks.
No, Hillary sucks. Obama is a phony.
No, Hillary is a phony, and Obama sucks.
No, Hillary sucks.
repeat
repeat
repeat

[mtnsnake]

69. Why are you giving AX10 such a hard time? AX10 had been a diehard Hillary supporter

for a long time and doesn't need you to lecture him or her about what's right or wrong.

[MrsT]

72. And I certainly don't need a lecture from you

as one of the main flamebaiters on this forum. What work are you doing to get Sen. Clinton elected? Starting multiple flamebait posts a day does not do a thing for her.

[FlyingSquirrel]

74. Thanks for letting me know who "ignored" is

:thumbsup:

[AGirl]

54. bullshit.

[MrsT]

56. Yes, it is bullshit that anyone would write in a candidate

just to take their ball and go home. I can guarantee that Sen Clinton and Sen Obama will ask their supporters to support the nominee no matter what. They will do that because it is the intelligent thing to do.

[AGirl]

58. I don't give a crap what Clinton asked me.

I don't support Obama and I won't vote for him. Spin it however you want.

[MrsT]

65. I am well aware that you don't give a crap about Clinton, nor any of her causes.

No spin there.

[csorman]

70. Wow. That is the most ignorant thing I've read all week.

Vote for McCain or Nader then, and leave the Dem party. We won't miss you.

[AGirl]

60. Yeah, I am going to see what happens on March 4th definately.

[AGirl]

52. THANK YOU , i agree completely with you.

[nonconformist]

17. I agree... I think we're being taken for a ride here.

And I, for one, am not riding.

[JackORoses]

23. Do you really have a Farm? Cause I'll take that bet.

[libbygurl]

34. Keep your filthy poop out of this thread! Go away!

[rodeodance]

37. nicely put---I am wish you that one. --Premature at best!!

[Straight Shooter]

7. Supporting him would require me to develop amnesia.

Please. Let him do the Kumbaya thing with Republicans.

[AX10]

8. See #5.

[Straight Shooter]

13. I read your post while composing mine. Agreed. n/t

[libbygurl]

22. No way is he getting my support in any form or fashion.

I do not like the man or his wife.

[Josiah1982]

11. for now I dont think I can suport him.

I may change my mind but for now put me down as a No vote on Obama.

[MrsT]

15. I'll have no problem voting for Obama. In fact, I think the Clinton and Obama campaigns

have been equally bad in terms of occassionally crossing the line and distorting the truth. That's the way it goes in politics I suppose. I'd also add that there have been plenty of annoying Clinton supporters on DU. It isn't just the Obama ones being inappropropriate.

Just my 2 cents.

[saracat]

31. And while I cannot support Obama, I would agree about the early behavior of some of

the Hillary folks.Some were obnoxious but I haven't seen much of those people anymore.But the Obama nasties are EVERYWHERE and in much larger numbers! And they attack everyone.

[MrsT]

42. I disagree

I have seen you insult Obama's supporters without justification. I realize that this thread was supposed to be for Hillary supporters only, but saying Obama supporters have been "duped" is just silly.

Do you ever criticize Proud2Bmurikin type DUers for their stupid anti-Obama posts? Or do you only criticize the bullshit when it comes from Obama supporters?

If you want a place where Clinton supporters outnumber Obama supporters, I recommend mydd.

[libbygurl]

68. Hmm... is that a joke that you have that pic as an avatar?

[UALRBSofL]

53. saracat, the reason isw because many of the Hillary supporters aren't posting the past week

And you can see 80% of the people on DU support Obama. So that's why you have many more negative Hillary posts.

[jasmine621]

16. Would Obama supporters kindly do me a favor and not turn this thread

into a flame war. If you don't support Hillary, fine, just move on. I really am looking for some honest suggestions on behalf of MY candidate.

[saracat]

28. You are not allowed to post anything nice about Hillary. They will NOT let you do it.

I think I will keep this thread bookmarked as an example of how Obama supporters conduct themselves.They interject themselves in any positive thread about anyone else and opiss on it.Just today they were trashing Edwards.It doesn't even matter if the candidate has suspended.These are vicious vicious people and Obama ability to attract such vile people is a reason NOT to vote for him.

[libbygurl]

18. I know you mean well, but I, for one, am not counting her out yet! Nope.

But when that moment actually comes, I'll be very glad to help send flowers to her. Really appreciate her strength and stamina and grace despite the monumental odds being placed in her way every step of the way.

Go, Hillary, Go! I'm not giving up till you say so!

[cbayer]

21. There is something in you post that is really disturbing to me.

And that is that you are throwing in the towel before your candidate does.

You have another post about how sorry you feel for her.

Sorry, but that really undermines her at this point and I am not sure why you would do that.

[jasmine621]

25. i would love to be the first to admit that I am wrong on this, believe me.

I just like to be prepared for various outcomes. I just want us to be able to do something to show Hillary what we think of her...win or lose. Is that better?

[cbayer]

30. Much better. nt.

[libbygurl]

32. That is a sign of a forward-looking person, a planner. Very nice thoughts, but don't give up yet! nt

[AX10]

41. I hope you are wrong too.

Hillary is experienced. She has dealt the right wing for decades. She has what it takes to win for us, but too many just don't see that and prefer that show pony instead.

[robbedvoter]

55. It's just that your need to be prepared puts a shiv in our backs where we need

to watch for the ones in front. So could you do the preparing somewhere else?

[Breeze54]

27. Are you trying to jinx yourself? You should read this then...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/26/opinion/main3877706.shtml">Don’t Give Up On Clinton

Remember this? ;)

[libbygurl]

29. Ah, yes! History can repeat itself, ya know! Thanks for the memory! nt

[SeaLyons]

33. Hillary for President

I am supporting Hillary all the way....she is so much more than competent and decent. She is PRESIDENTIAL.

[LittleClarkie]

36. When my fellow Kerry supporters want to talk amongst themselves

with no interference allowed from anyone else, we go to the Kerry group.

If you don't want anyone else around while you talk amongst yourselves, I suggest you talk on the Hillary group. Otherwise there will be people on this thread you didn't invite, and that will be perfectly fine because this is an open forum.

Saying "So and so only please" almost never works.

But for the most part nay sayers aren't allowed in the individual groups.

Just saying.

[rodeodance]

40. hey --from one cheezehead to another---you are right:-)

[LittleClarkie]

45. It ain't easy bein' cheezy

:)

[rodeodance]

46. gives both of us backbone--yah!

[saracat]

43. I thought of that as well

[robbedvoter]

39. I am going to wait until March 4 before sending heartfelt anything. This is premature.

:wtf:
Also, if you want to organize ANYTHING for Hillary, Obama Underground is NOT the place to do it.

[BootinUp]

49. K&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

[CyberPieHole]

48. Don't give up on Senator Clinton...remember New Hampshire...

She might be able to pull this off and then we will need to see how we can get the Obama people to support her in the GE.

[AX10]

50. Great Graphic!

:thumbsup:

[GoldieAZ49]

71. who is the man behind the curtain????? George Soros??? n/t

[femmedem]

57. Okay, Hillary isn't my choice. But she and her supporters have my respect.

I was crushed when Edwards dropped out, and I appreciated how nice everyone on DU was when it became obvious he wasn't going to be the nominee.

Best of luck with this. I'm sure it will mean a lot to Hillary to hear your appreciation.

[rock]

63. Agreed, I'll strongly support the Dem candidate

By the way, I'd like to see all the votes counted first. I had enough of stopping counting when bush* had enough to win in 2000.

[RockyTorres]

73. She's not Conceding and frankly Obama will need to shape up to get my November vote!

[johan helge]

75. I love you, Hillary, always have, always will

I hope Obama, if he is elected, learns a thing or two from you about e.g. health care!
