Thanks, Hillary!

[Occam Bandage]

ESPANOLA, N.M. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday urged her supporters to work as hard for the election of her former rival, Barack Obama, as they had for her. "We may have started out on two separate paths, but we are on one journey now," Clinton told about 800 people at a rally for Obama in heavily Hispanic northern New Mexico.

Clinton shared the stage with elected officials, including Gov. Bill Richardson, a former President Bill Clinton administration official.

Clinton reminded her supporters that "if you voted for me, you have much more in common with Sen. Obama than you do with Sen. McCain."She said McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and President Bush are "two sides of the same coin."

Glad to see one of our best Senators out there fighting the good fight.

K&R! :kick:

7. Ooooboy, I can hear them running this way now

[still_one]

8. When mccain was asked yesterday which supreme court justice would he NOT appoint

he said, Souter, Breyer, Ginsberg, and Stevens

That alone should cause Senator Clinton's words to have even more meaning

[Occam Bandage]

9. Hell yes. He's turned himself into an anti-women's-rights throwback.

Here's hoping the few fence-sitters among Senator Clinton's supporters pay attention to her great pro-Obama speeches.

12. He probably doesn't remember. nt

[SuperTrouper]

35. As a physician I tell you, he probably has early cognitive defecit

[Chloroplast]

52. Oh, McCain remembers that he voted for those 'libruls'.

He just doesn't expect those in the church audience (or anywhere else for that matter) to look up what amounts to public records. He's shown us that he is willing to bend over and take it from anyone that will give him validation; he should have too much pride to do such a thing but how much dignity can he have if he lifts stories from Wikipedia AND another POW?

The GOP should be ashamed if Johnny Warmonger is the cream of their crop.

[still_one]

15. I know know, but this is what he said yesterday when asked

mccain also said he was against torture, but voted for waterboarding

mccain said he was against offshore oil-drilling, now he is for it

When someone tells you he will appoint justices like scalia and Thomas, I believe him

When someone comes out supporting the South Dakota bill banning abortion, EVEN in cases of rape, incest, and the life of the Mother

I believe him

When someone votes against a day honoring Martin Luther King, and can only say it was a mistake, but doesn't tell us why he voted against it in the first place, that tells me about what he really is

[SmileyRose]

19. That doesn't count

that was long before dirt so how can you expect him to remember? LOL

Great find - now excuse me while I go torture my inlaws with it! :)

[SuperTrouper]

34. He may try to appoint Janice Rodgers Brown or Edith Jones

but we as the Democratic majority will not even let them out of Committee; at any rate, McCross will not get the chance to do it since Obama will be President and he will likely appoint NY's Sonia Sotomayor.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

56. Justice Stevens will be the most relieved person in the US

if Obama is elected. He will NOT retire while neocon fascists control the presidency. The only way he'd leave the SCOTS is with a toe tag. With BO in the WH, he could finally retire in peace and know that a real jurist would succeed him.

[Mme. Defarge]

10. VERY encouraging! n/t

[quantass]

13. Good!

[unfaithful_servant]

14. Same message

she's been giving since she conceded the nomination to Obama, yet it still isn't helping.

Obama has made too many mistakes in the primary and GE for Clinton to enable him to pull ahead. No doubt when he loses the GE, his supporters will blame it on Clinton, but the blame is his alone.

[Whisp]

16. was it pepperoni and mushroom, or ham and pineapple you ordered the other day?

:rofl:

[unfaithful_servant]

20. Sounds like

you need a date. Spending too much time in the basement - you need to get out and mingle with adults now and then.

[Number23]

25. Must've been HAM!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=user_profiles&u_id=224744

:hi:

[Whisp]

30. ham and double dirt, please. hold the anchovies. heh heh heh

is it legal for us to guess who it was?

heh heh heh

[Hatchling]

21. Au contraire, "my friend".

The more I see Clinton and Obama working together, the more enthused I become about an Obama Presidency. And this is coming from an "almost" Puma. But I discovered for myself that if I really support Hillary, then I must support Obama and come to the point where I can work for this campaign. Even if she isn't the VP.

Every candidate makes mistakes but the few that Obama has made are nothing that can't be overcome if we all get to together and work for him. In fact they are few compared to the ones that McCain has made.

Do you really want this senile old misogynist to be President? To have his demented, uneven temperment in charge of our armed services? I shudder at the thought.

[unfaithful_servant]

24. We agree Clinton is doing a great job

and, as I posted before, many of us "near PUMA's" are willing to forgive and forget.

Sad to say, our forgiveness won't help Obama win if his misogynist supporters keep making the same stupid mistakes in driving women voters away from him. Obama's campaign needs to take a quick lesson in the history of feminism and women voters in the US if they expect to win this election.

[Peacetrain]

28. Oh for the love of GOD..

~sigh~

[greguganus]

44. HAHAHAHA TOMBSTONED! n/t

[The Doctor.]

17. She Lies!

Bush and McCain are the same side of the same coin!

Will her duplicity never cease?!?

:silly:

[JoFerret]

64. All those tombstones and pizzas

that posters go on about...

Do you think they should be distributed to those who tear down democrats?

Or should DU tolerate divisiveness?

The primary is over.
we have a candidate. We have a great candidate chosen from among many good and great candidates.We need him to win in November. That will take all of us.
Including Hillary and all the rest.

[The Doctor.]

65. Tearing down Democrats at this time is so very counterproductive.

We have a choice between a shot at prosperity, a return to Constitutional governance, new strides in international diplomacy, lower energy costs, and an effective anti-terrorism policy...


- OR -


More war, more poverty, more fear, and the despise of the world under McCain.


I'll take the former, thank you.

[JoFerret]

70. Glad to see you are getting with the program

.

[The Doctor.]

71. I never wasn't.

What's with you?

[JoFerret]

72. Must have been the

evil twin again.

[The Doctor.]

73. ?

You make no sense.

Stalk someone else.

18. We are grateful Hillary, thanks for the support for O

[Occam Bandage]

22. Kick.

23. Thank you, Hillary. You're doing a great job, honey n/t

26. k & r! nt

[indimuse]

[No Elephants]

29. Unity Up, Folks!

I am somewhat reserving judgment, but I hope the healing is beginning now.

[SeaLyons]

31. K&R

[Bucky]

32. No! She's just out to make the convention into her personal soap opera!

Don't you read blogs? This is just her hiding how big her sick ego is. She's just plotting for 2012.

[polmaven]

33. I do hope

you neglected the :sarcasm: tag.

[Bucky]

39. If I ever used that tag

I could no longer respect myself. If you need me to use that tag, I will still find a way to respect you.

[Occam Bandage]

40. I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly.

[polmaven]

59. OK...

I was at work when I saw that. I have looked at some of your posts, and I note that they have been very fair and I salute you.

[AspenRose]

36. Wonder if she went to Paragua for a bite to eat

Thanks Senator :hi:

[JuniperLea]

37. This is her standard message since Obama became Nom Apparent...

I'm glad people are starting to listen.

Keep on keeping on, Hillary!

[mkultra]

38. i admit that i have doubts about hillary

When i heard that she was going to be on the card at the convention, my immediate thoughts where that she might be trying some kind of maneuver. The more i hear her talk in the run up, the less i have concerns.

I hope this is this is the end and the beginning.

[polmaven]

41. The beginning

happened a long time ago. This is what she has been saying for 10 weeks. The only beginning here is that some have begun to open their eyes and ears and minds, so they can see and hear what both she and President Clinton have been saying.

[mkultra]

43. perhaps

but many of her supporters have been saying something different.
im sure you can understand it if i say they i have had as much doubt in Hillary is many of hers have had in Obama.

[polmaven]

45. The vast majority -

and I mean VAST majority of her supporters are saying exactly what she is saying. "Many" is really a huge overstatement.

What you and others have been hearing and seeing is the exaggerated statements of the MSM, and, of course, the "Operation Chaos" people, and I think you believed them because you wanted to believe them.

[mkultra]

46. well, i think your tone is insutling and part of the overall problem.

I don't pay attention to MSM but i do check in on many of the blog spots and the PUMA websites. I am aware of their numbers and "many" is a fair description.

a Vast majority of Hillary folks here on DU are very decent or completely silent so im not really referring to them.

If you want to assert that a majority of the people on the PUMA websites are actually "operation chaos" members, that fine , but frankly there is no way to know and that's simply what you want to believe.

[polmaven]

47. Well, that is fine,

because what I find insulting are all the folks right here who are all too happy to jump on the "The Clintons Suck" bandwagon because of what they read at freeper type sites.

[mkultra]

49. i see, so youve met people who you find insulting

and thus your allowed to insult anyone else yourself. Seems unreasonable.

[polmaven]

57. Here, on DU,

Democratic Underground, I am entitled to defend good Democrats against "unreasonable" and untrue slurs. If you find that insulting, I find that too bad.

[mkultra]

63. and so anyone admiting doubt about your "good democrat"

is uttering an unreasonable" and untrue slur and is thus subject of your rudeness?

perhaps the only one being unreasonable here is you.

[kiva]

51. Yes, and great pic! n/t

[polmaven]

60. I absolutely LOVE that picture....

may I either steal this one or know from where it came so I can steal it from there?

[DevonRex]

50. I am so impressed and so pleased. Thanks Hillary! nt

[Hope And Change]

53. Thank you Sen. Clinton!

[jesus_of_suburbia]

54. Senator Clinton, we LOVE YOU!

What a glorious year 2008 will be for us.

We will gain seats in the House and the Senate, and we will win the Presidency.

The 2 top contenders for the Dem nominee were an African American and a woman.

It's a good time to be alive, in a time where the past 8 years have been a nightmare.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

55. Excellent, good to hear

HRC can be a real asset in the general election.

Wouldn't mind seeing her as majority leader next January, either.

[DCBob]

58. Nice.

I think I trust her now.

[FloridaJudy]

61. Thank you, Senator Clinton!

I didn't care for some of her tactics in the Primaries, but I've always felt she was capable of being a Class Act. And her platform and Obama's weren't that far apart. I'm glad she's living up to the promise.

[Occam Bandage]

62. Unikick.

[The Doctor.]

66. Now if only her 'supporters' would actually LISTEN to her.

[David Zephyr]

67. She's out on the trail. Thanks Occam Bandage for this post.

Good stuff.

[Alter Ego]

68. That's excellent, but I think she could have made it even better

by mentioning McCain's Faith Forum performance and his declaration that he will not stand up for women's reproductive rights.

That would put a scare into some of her more diehard supporters.

[SeaLyons]

69. K&R
