A year ago I was going bananas at the prospect of an HC presidency
Then she started trying to convince us that she had a bigger penis than any of the other candidates. After 7 years of fake empty macho bullshit bluster you'd think we've had enough, but apparently our media still views all presidential campaigns as dick measuring contests.

I really hate this shit. I used to have a job where a lot of the people who worked for me thought the way to settle any argument was to threaten to kick the other person's ass. Sometimes the only way to deal with these jerks was to threaten to kick their ass. I was often disappointed with myself for reacting like that.

I don't think it has any place in politics and I strongly support Obama for refusing to get involved in it.

1. I had big hopes for her too but - she dashed them when she started the ...
...cheating, lying, Rovian stuff, smears, chest-beating, etc.

Bleah.

4. Then I guess you prefer the effete empty suit?
I prefer a fighter who will stand up for us and not a film flam artist.

9. You mean, like the way she was fighting for us against the Bush admin all these years?
Oh wait...she wasn't.

Get a clue, Hillbot. The Clintons only fight for themselves.

15. When you find a fighter who will stand up for us, please let us know
'cause it ain't Hillary. She'd sell you downriver in a heartbeat -- just like Bill did.

24. Do us all a favor and hold your breath at the same time.
Preferably for a month or so.

19. I wish I had stock in Pfizer
Zoloft sales will go through the roof when she loses.

(soon to be a familiar sight for hillbots)

Otherwise, here's a little Seppuku graphic..maybe we can make it the offical logo of the Hillbots.:rofl:

10. I was to. But not for the same reasons.
I wanted Edwards to be the nominee and was (and still am) convinced that HRC as the candidate would be an absolute shit shower on the party.

12. K&R It's painful to watch Hillary doing what she thinks people want to see
She's just wrong and out-of-touch on so many levels. America is ready to move on.

Her campaign has really been a heartbreaking letdown to many long-time, loyal Democrats and Clinton supporters.

21. If anyone ever told me I had testicular fortitude, I would smack him so hard upside his head!
That to me is the ultimate insult you can give a woman.
I dearly would love to have a woman President some day. But, I want a woman who is proud to be a woman, not some silly man-wanna-be!

28. I disagree....
I think women are strong and capable, and Hillary personifies the total woman. She is feminine, intelligent, tough, smart, a fighter, determined, soft, - all wrapped in one.

testicular fortitude - wow - what a compliment (and I think it was meant to be humorous anyway).

Times change.
