This is a great post, from a reasonable, thinking person. Like I said earlier once or twice, sane people support Obama. No need to mention other candidates from the same party negatively here.

What a lovely invitation to all of us unreasonable Hillary supporters! No more negativity. And just as Obama decides to drop all pretenses and go full throttle negative. Well, I guess like Obama you're just another victim of the Clinton camp negativity. On behalf of Hillary I would personally like to apologize for all the negative things you said about us.

Apology accepted. I would also like to extend an apology for the times I have gone off the deep end.

Kudos to you

I've been thinking of doing something similar. Seems like every time there is a positive post about one of the candidates, the folks who support the other candidate pile into the post's comment thread and crap it up. I thing I'm going to stay out of comment threads for posts that praise Obama, as long as they don't bash Hillary. This thing is almost over, and each candidates supporters deserve some uninterrupted time.

And Billy is an ass!

Criticizing Clinton on policy, or for her attempts to undermine the presumptive Democratic nominee, is fair game. But you're so right: we need to remember that McCain is the opposite side. And yeah, it's fair to hold Obama supporters to a higher standard, because unlike Clinton, Obama faces the likely prospect of having to unite the party in future. We shouldn't make that task more difficult for him by unnecessary pettiness.

And it's so much more interesting to engage on the issues than on personality conflicts (most of the time, anyway). I'm not a saint. But I do try, and I'll keep trying, to stick to the issues.

I prefaced my earlier comment with the "why" first. I guess I need to reiterate it. My initial comment was, "Hillary Clinton is campaigning for john McCain". Then I said that she "knows better". Then I said that she lies repeatedly. ONLY THEN did I call her a scumbag. So please don't act as though I'm here simply calling names.

Secondly, I fully support Obama. And yes, I'm from Brooklyn, which means I know Hillary Clinton's record a little better than some of you.

I have more of a basis to make my conclusion. Hillary is a carpetbagging politician, and most New Yorkers know she has done little, if anything for New York. So, if you think I'm a jackass for saying that, fine. So be it. I'm not phased.

But Hillary is a scumbag none the less.

Case in point, the debate. Every opportunity that Clinton had, she "turned the knife" on Obama. Yet when Obama was asked what he thought of Hillary's Bosnia fiasco, he defended her by saying all candidates make gaffes, and tried to pivot from there to bigger issues.

And what does Hillary do? After the debate she goes on the warpath in the media criticizing Obama for being weak!?

When he deliberately showed restraint? And said as much afterward.

Obama gave you a pass and you kick him in the throat for doing it?

You constantly change the goalpost because you're losing, showing absolutely no respect for Obama's accomplishments in the race. Every state that he wins doesn't count?

And the final kicker, you imply that your Republican opponent is a better commander n chief than your own fellow Democrat?

Where is the bottom of the well for Hillary?

You see, Obama is practicing an ethic of "you don't knee-cap your sibling. You don't sucker punch your sibling." Meanwhile, Hillary is sucker-punching away AND campaigning for her drinking buddy John McCain to boot.

Please. You want to know what I think? She's a motherfucking scumbag with cheese on top.

Hillary Clinton
Irrational and Unfair

Is America ready for a woman president? Yes. Is America ready for Hillary Clinton as a woman president? No. Why? Because she has shown herself to be irrational and unfair!
All you non-believers, think to yourself a moment, if Hillary Clinton were a rational woman would she still be in the race?

Look at all the men who dropped out of the race immediately because they were rational enough to know that they could not mathematically win the race. I know your rebuttal (Hillary Supporters) Obama can’t reach the magic number either and my answer is: he is still in the lead and it is unfair of Hillary to ask the superdelegates to hand her the election when she is not in the lead and will not be in the lead at the end of this race!

It is unfair to continue in an unwinnable race while simultaneously bashing the democratic nominee. It is irrational for her to count the votes, in Michigan and Florida, as her win when she agreed they wouldn’t count. It is unfair to single-handedly divide the Democratic Party. It is irrational to waste valuable time and resources that could be better spent campaigning against McCain. It is unfair to ask the American people, struggling to make ends meet, to donate to a dead campaign.

I ask the American people, to whom this blog is for because you can not speak rationally to an irrational person, is she the type of woman you want in the highest post and in the hardest job in America? I think not! We need a man or woman that is rational and fair because without those qualities, 35 years of experience will get us know where!

Finally, to the media, Keith Olbermann, this topic should be number one on your countdown. Stephen Colbert, make irrational and unfair words of the day. Anderson Cooper, discuss this with your expert panelists. Bill O’reilly, invite a psychiatrist to your show instead of the person analyzing body movements. Media it is your duty to spread the word, so that Americans can make a rational and fair decision when they go to the polls!

i don't think you guys get it. there are many clinton supporters, like myself, who are ok voting for mccain. we have no intention to vote for OBAMA. actually, for me and my family we are on some level already resolved and have accepted the reality hillairy will most likely not win. in my opinion the potential margin of reagan democratic voters OBAMA will lose will surely put juan mcamnesty in the office of president. hopefully a lesson would have been learned in the end. as far as accepting the OBAMA apology...hmmm i would say it's a little too late in my opinion.

let's look to 2012!

Sorry Dave, you're being a putz.

How does this fit the scumbag test, if true?

"House Democratic Whip James Clyburn, of South Carolina and the highest ranking black in Congress, also said he has heard speculation that Clinton is staying in the race only to try to derail Obama and pave the way for her to make another White House run in 2012.

“I heard something, the first time yesterday (in South Carolina), and I heard it on the (House) floor today, which is telling me there are African Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that she can’t win this. But they’re hell-bound to make it impossible for Obama to win” in November, Clyburn told Reuters in an interview."

“I think it’s so disingenuous … (adviser James) Carville and Sen. Clinton were all on TV. I’ve seen them two or three times this week, talking about counting Florida and Michigan.”

Obama did not campaign in those states because the Democratic Party said Florida and Michigan wouldn’t be included in the formal tally for the nomination. “Her name was the only one on the ticket in Michigan and still 42, 43 percent of the vote was against her,” Clyburn said.

Still, Clyburn said “I don’t think she ought to drop out.”

But he added, “There’s a difference between dropping out and raising all this extraneous scurrilous stuff about the guy (Obama). Just run your campaign … you don’t have to drop out to be respectful of other people.”

Being a Liberal means never having to say you're sorry to other Liberals.

:)

It will all be over soon, and then we can (hopefully) go back to being one big anti-GOP fambly. (Albeit a dysfunctional one.)

Right back at ya, Mila.

Actually here's another story worth reading:

Hillary Clinton learned 'hard lesson' on health care, she wrote to Moynihan

BY DAVID SALTONSTALL
DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

Hillary Clinton has long admitted to bungling universal health care in 1994, but a never-before-seen note she penned to the late Sen. Daniel Moynihan reveals how deeply she thought the failure hurt her — and the nation.

"If I had listened to you about health care in 1994, I would be far better off today - but more importantly - so would the nation's health care system," Clinton wrote Moynihan in October 2000, near the end of her New York Senate campaign to succeed the retiring Moynihan.

It was a confession in which the former First Lady seemed to acknowledge that - if not for her refusal to listen to congressional leaders in her own party like Moynihan - millions more Americans would likely have become insured.

"All I can tell you is I learned my lessons the hard way, which makes them indelible," Clinton said in the handwritten note, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily News.

Accepting blame for the 1994 health care debacle is nothing new for Clinton, especially lately, as she is again promising to provide health insurance to all Americans as a candidate for President.

"If you don't learn from your mistakes, you stop growing," the presidential hopeful said last September as she unveiled her new health care plan, which she has promised would be debated more openly than the closed-door process she oversaw as First Lady in 1993 and 1994.

But her private note to Moynihan seemed to cast her failure, and its cost to the nation, in starker terms.

Back in 1994, Moynihan was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and brokered a bipartisan bill that would have cut the number of uninsured Americans in half - to roughly 20 million from 40 million.

But the Clintons refused to consider anything but 100% coverage, killing any chance of a compromise, said David Podoff, a former Senate Finance Committee economist who was intimately involved in negotiations.

"It was an opportunity lost," said Podoff, now an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.

Since then, the problem has only gotten worse, with some 46 million Americans uninsured, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Despite their rift, Moynihan backed Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign. However, the senator's widow, Liz, is now backing Clinton rival Barack Obama for President.

Whoooah. I'm being a putz? Hahaahaa

Mila you need to be banned for being totally disrespectful of any posters on this site. You offer little discourse or any rationality. This is not a gage of my intelligence rather it is agage of having visited this site over the last few years and seeing you get banned with one name or another. I am not sure who you are and maybe you are paid to be who you are but nonetheless you are the one that is small and you are the one who had to live with yourself. Good luck with that and finding happiness in any aspect of your life.
