Enough Is Enough!
It is time for Hillary to stop "bloodying up" Barack Obama for John McCain. I'm tired of the rhetoric that McCain will be even worse.
FINE! Then let McCain bring it.
Hillary's primary hope to get the nomination is to overthrow the democratic process and subvert the will of the electorate. Is this what we want in a President? Is this not what we (as Democrats) have been railing against these last 7 years?
It is time for the Democratic nominating process to wrap it up and let our nominee and our party fight against McCain and the Repugs. Hillary is either deluded or intentionally hurting Obama so that she can run again in 2012. She has lost this competition and it's time for serious calls from the populace for her to end this charade.
She needs to realize why she needs to quit for the good of the party and the good of our nation. We cannot afford another 4 years of Bush/Cheney policies just so that she can have another shot at the nomination.
I will be sending a calculator to the Clinton headquarters tomorrow and I would encourage anyone who reads this to do the same.

Let's deal with reality: there's nothing democratic nor Democratic about HRC.... she is a monster... she is anti-democratic... she thinks she is owed something.... well, the most she is owed is her social security when she turns 65

I agree with your sentiment, but it's time to take action. Obama has said that it is up to us to take action and change America. It's time to raise our voices to the DNC or the MSM or HRC or whomever will listen to get her to step up behind Baracks bid for the White House.

I hope the action you take will be peaceful. If it isn't, then even if your taking it gets him the nomination, it will never get him the presidency. The country will remember how he got it and vote ABO (anyone but Obama). Also, this: I've seen entries on these kinds of sites---not on this particular one---that are about sending letters to Pelosi and Dean and Brazile et al, saying that if Obama doesn't get the nomination, there will be trouble. This from the same people who howl about Hillary bullying the party to get the nomination. I just hope everyone understands what's at stake. Namely, everything.

Peaceful???
What the hell is wrong with you?
NOTHING in my post gave any indication of violence towards anyone. My exact words were "It's time to raise our voices" and you're concerned I might hurt someone.
Get a life and open your mind!

All calculators should be sent to:
Hillary Clinton for President
4420 North Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203
Shouldn't cost much to send some old POS calculator and it will make a much bigger statement than a letter.

There's a simpler way out.
Just support Hillary. Really, it's the simple answer to your prayers. And then you're not out a calculator.
See, you thought she was a "calculating bitch". But she's really a "calculator bitch". She saves them, she recycles them, she chucks them right back at you - "count me out? well no, those are just numbers. This is about experience."
See, the neat thing about the Hillary calculator is it has a Memory function. Like all those good times when the Republicans shut down government, launched a thousand investigations, shoved FISA "reform" down our throats, Swift Boated a vet into oblivion.... Why don't we get along? "That does not compute, that does not add up". Now stick that in your calculator and smoke it.

Can you imagine the investigations and lawsuits brought against a second Clinton White House...
- If they give Bill ANY kind of responsibility there will screams of violating the second amendment.
- The calls for investigation for Bill's fundraising.
- The lobbyist links from Hillary's time in the Senate.
Not to mention the horrible battle that will ensue between her and McCain. The right wing echo chamber will be deafening from all of the blather about not letting Bill move back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
We need to move forward as a country, not back to the divisive 90's.

It will be a lot easier for Obama to go after McCain then to go after Hillary.
Obama wants to play the high road and not attack people on personal things and instead attack on the issues. This is a problem though with fighting agaisnt Hillary since they agree on most issues but with McCain it isnt the case. With McCain VS Obama there is a very large difference on issues and Obama will be saying McCain = Bush every single day and it will stick, given the current standing of how will the economy is going and public opinion on the war is right now i dont think McCain stand a chance in hell of holding his ground vs Obama.

I completely agree.
Not only does Obama need to be attacking McBush, but so does the entire Democratic Party. This nonsense about whether Hillary still has a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination is a distraction from the real fight.
If this process were reversed and Clinton led Obama in delegates, states won and votes cast he would be getting absolutely hammered by the party to get out and let everyone focus on McCain. I'm just saying that Barack deserves the same respect.
