Hillary SOUNDLY rejected by liberal base

A shame DU is so much more right wing than Kos.

1. She beat Kucinich! ;-) But wow did Edwards make a move.

And you would have thought his tempest in a teapot with bloggers may have kept his numbers steady but that is quite a jump.

[tblue]

2. I think she can still learn from her mistakes. I haven't totally given up on her.

[lutefisk]

3. She's trailing "No F'ing Clue" by 5 percentage points! ...n/t

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

4. WTF? If Kos is so fucking great, hang out there. What a bullshit statement,

"A shame DU is so much more right wing than Kos."

A shame some posters don't read the fucking rules before they shoot off their smartass mouths...

You want to comment on the straw poll by a small subset of the party, go ahead. But don't take it beyond what it is.

Sheesh. With friends like you in the party, who needs enemies? But of course, you don't have any 'agenda' now, do you?

5. My agenda is to deny the nomination to the worst candidate

Who happens to be both the most unelectable and most right wing.

21. How is Hillary any more right-wing than Biden or Richardson? I agree that those three are the least

progressive, but how is she more right-wing than the other two DLCers?

NOTE: I am supporting Edwards, Kucinich, Dodd, or Obama for the nomination (Gore and Clark would be fine, too, if they run), but I will vote for -- and work for -- Hillary, Richardson, or Biden if the get the nomination.

6. If she's the '08 nominee...

I won't be voting in '08. And I doubt that I'm the only Democrat who feels that way.

[jwirr]

10. Well I am not a Hillary supporter either but I want to take this opportunity

to thank you for helping to elect another pug in 2008.:sarcasm: Not voting is the same as voting for the other party.

[MADem]

12. As an undecided voter, I have to agree with you. NT

[casus belli]

16. Maybe so...

But one of the reasons I am proud to call myself a Democrat, is that more Democrats seem willing to do what is right - even if it goes against what the party as a whole is doing. I think this country has had enough of sheep blindly following the status quo for the sake of party. I'll take an independent over a rabidly loyal partisan of either party...anyday. The minute we start electing our leaders simply because they have a (D) next to the name, we have become every bit of what I hate about the right. And if we don't evaluate the message, rather than the party, what's to keep a few (R)'s from slapping a (D) next to their name just to have a political future?

11. Heckuva job, Brownie! NT

19. yeah, y'all say that every four years.

7. "A shame DU is so much more right wing than Kos."

Why? Who cares? The real bummer is that pretty much the whole country is to the right of DailyKos. The demographic makeup of any given web forum, I could give two shits about.

9. I totally agree! Whenever I post anything against the DLC I am

slammed. The last time it kept me away from the DU for a couple of months. The DLC does not hold true and complete liberal values. The DLC has very moderate views on everything, they stick their finger in the air to see which way the wind blows before voicing their opinions. And they are corporatists! That how we got deregulation of the media, NAFTA, CAFTA, and Trader Joe.

Note to DLC defenders: Please do not respond to me, I don't want to hear it!

[wyldwolf]

17. awww... is your little feelings hurt cause someone disagreed with you?

:nopity:

[MADem]

22. Please do not respond to me, I don't want to hear it!

Why bother even posting then, if you don't want discussion?

May as well put your fingers in your ears and do that 'Lalalalalala I can't hear you' shit.

This is what's called a "discussion" board. Not an "Amy's Pronouncements" board. You can't lay a childish turd down on the sidewalk like that and just walk away without consequences. People are gonna call you it.

And as for politicians sticking their fingers into the wind, that's also called considering constituent opinion, taking it into account when making decisions. How DARE politicians listen to their constituencies and take action based on their desires? Why, the NERVE of them! We shouldn't call them Representatives in that case, let's just call them ideologues.

13. Kos is no more the "liberal base" than DU is

and I'll remind you that Kerry, you know - the guy who overwhelmingly won the Democratic nomination the last time around - consistently finished last in polls at both Kos and DU. If anything, that indicates that Hillary has a pretty damn good chance of being the nominee...

[ButterflyBlood]

15. And that's hardly a good thing

Since Hillary is even less electable than Kerry, and far more right wing.

[wyldwolf]

18. good or bad, it's the truth. Winners of "progressive" straw polls don't finish first in reality

[wyldwolf]

14. you think "KOS" is the "liberal base?" LOL!

[AshevilleGuy]

20. I am happy with these numbers, but the big power players

in the party couldn't care less. They will push the candidate they have probably already chosen next year, and that person will be almost unbeatable for the nomination. But quite beatable in the general...
As usual.

[depakid]

23. Triangulation in the 21st Century

only pisses both sides off. The right will never vote for her- yet even so, she's damaged her progressive credentials.

Rather like her husband did....

This has become flamebait.
