As far as I'm concerned, HRC doesn't give a shit about the Democratic Party...or about a Dem win..
Again today, I log on the net and look at the regular news items and what do I find? That the HRC campaign and her surrogates are again looking for a knock out trash story involving Barack Obama.

For one time, I would love to see HRC and Bill show that they do give a shit about the Democratic party over their own selfish agendas.

Let's face it people - many white voters who will not say so, are just looking for a reason not to vote for the "black guy." And HRC is making it much easier for people to do just that.

On Wednesday I saw Lawrence O'Donnell on some talking head show and he was swearing that HRC wanted to stay in the race just a little longer to help push her supporters over to Obama. Fat fucking likely chance.

HRC and her fucking husband have turned into egocentric, self promoting assholes.

1. It's all about them
and they could care less about this party or this country. If they can't have it they want to make sure Obama doesn't get it either. They are continuing to divide this party with their disgusting tactics. I wash my hands of them.

3. I agree with other DUers who have indicated that the next week or two
will be very telling days in the life of the party and with regard to her role in it.

A lot of folks -- not just bloggers -- will be casting a keen eye onto the proceedings.

I want to see the best for the ticket and the party's chances of gaining workable majorities in both chambers.

11. Think two weeks is too long...it's been shown...
What really baffles me is that after Tuesday's primaries many HRC surrogates were saying she was going to come out swinging at McCain. She has not done that.

Frankly, she appears to have some sort of personality disorder and if true, that would make more sense and make her behavior more understandable.

14. I don't know what makes the woman tick. I can count her numerous

accomplishments and career successes, the academic triumphs, the sense that in the footsteps of someone with the dignity and personal vision of Eleanor Roosevelt that Clinton emulates, she seemed to have a sense of herself as a beneficiary of this legacy, that set of goals, and so forth.

I have not seen that Hillary Clinton very much at all in this campaign.

And I have seen and heard far too much of her husband and his odd short-circuiting comments.

Ditto her surrogates.

They have not served her well at all, and she has served herself poorly by allowing them such prominent roles in what should have been a far-better-run campaign.

5. I'd Be Pissed If I Were The Clintons Too
They sold their soul for another term at the White House and all they got was $109 Mill.
