power grabbing.




She could care less about Working America


She just doesnt' want to lose now, and that is scarey because she will stop at NOTHING and that makes her dangerous

7. You are correct
DLCers are socially liberal and economically conservative. They are the absolute opposite of populists, but there she is trying on the populism suit only because it suits her at the time.

No DLCer is populist...they are the opposite, elitist.

16. as if Edwards could not have won
He polled as the most electable. And Obama would have a better chance of winning if somebody's campaign was not determined to tear him down.

14. I don't know about that, but here's the difference....
Our guy won the nomination. He's not writhing around in pathetic desperation for something that is impossible.

13. I do not believe she could win the GE.
Half the country hates her. Nothing would galvanize the Republicans behind McCain more than a Hillary Clinton candidacy. Most Pubbies do not like or trust McCain very much, and will only back him reluctantly. They will swarm for him if Hillary is the other choice, though.

22. it's just delusional to make that claim. The evidence points
to both Hill and Obama being electable. In addition, it's 5 freakin' months to November. Anything can happen that could effect the contest. Many things likely will.

YOU are no oracle.

8. I don't think it ever was about America's best interests.
Unfortunately, the same could be said for most politicians.

26. Fighting for illegitimate votes in an unconstitutional contest (Michigan) is NOT a badge of honor

A federal judge has already ruled the Michigan primary as UNCONSTITUTIONAL.


Therefore, fighting for THOSE votes amounts to fighting for an ILLEGAL action to stand.



That's what Bushies do... not us.

33. It would have been if Clintons' DNC had secured election process after 2000s theft, but they didn't,
did they? And there is no evidence of Clintons directing their chosen DNC chair McAuliffe to secure the election process for Dem candidates and Dem voters even after all the revelations of dirty tactics by the RNC and GOP officials setting up the election theft of 2000.

Nope. Clintons needed 2008 kept open for Hillary and could care less about Dem votes being secured in 2002 or 2004.

20. keep those checks coming in, hardworking Americans. Hillary is only a millionaire
who needs your hard-earned cash to pay off the loans she gave herself.

If she doesn't drop out this next week, I predict she will become a pariah of the Lieberman variety.

25. Have you had an ORIGINAL thought lately?
This is about the 1,000th post that says basically the same thing. Don't you people have anything new to say?

If you want it to be over, call your damn superdelegates and tell them to grow a spine and END IT NOW. Otherwise, you're really just wasting bandwidth.

I think most politicians think of them first and foremost and everyone else in far second place.

...with the amount of support that Clinton has.
