Why do the sour-graped Hillary supporters

[kimmerspixelated]

think they are so different than the Richardson,Kucinich,Gravel,Dodd,Edwards,(and I feel like I'm missing one) supporters? Why is their disappointment so different than others? Why is their pain worse?

Note: I am addressing the ones that would obviously rather die( or vote for McInsane) than vote for Obama!

Is it a kind of extreme selfishness on their part? I don't get it.

Personally, I was lucky because I liked almost everyone running. And for an eternity it certainly looked like it would've been Hillary, and although I wasn't thrilled about the prospect, I was making myself seriously work on it, because the alternative was just too awful to consider.

For those that are lost in their own painful oblivion:

WAKE UP BEFORE AMERICA IS LOST FOREVER!

Please forget yourselves for one moment and think of your children, or someone else's children!

Think of the Constitution and what it really means to have it lost forever when the rethuglicans win. Be an adult and think about the kids and what kind of world we are giving them.

22. Ahh, so sorry my point was lost.

[VolcanoJen]

2. You *are* missing one.

Biden!!!!!!!!

But of course I have a feeling his supporters are more than fully on board! ;-)

13. I didn't include him-because he is A winner!

2nd place-But Still!

17. Thanks!

Caught me by surprise!

3. Because they got damn near half the delegates, perhaps? And those idiots on camera...

are not true Hillary supporters. They're agitators probably planted by the RNC or MSNBC.

4. Thank you!

7. Thank You #2

[Captain Hilts]

10. You are most welcome.

Facts is facts and one more person - such as Nina Totenberg - compares her to someone who got a handful of votes and won no primaries or caucuses, I'll throw up.

Everybody vote Democratic!

18. Thank you #3

8. Correction, it is no longer MSNBC, it is MSRNC

[kimmerspixelated]

15. Hope you're right. Just plants.

[VolcanoJen]

16. Amen to that, Mookie!

Those people are most certainly not Hillary supporters, and they are absolutely not Democrats. They are a paid sideshow, brought to you by the GOP.

[Captain Hilts]

24. Indeed...

FDR: Got the map, Old Girl!
ER: Got it right here - Denver or bust!!! Move over and let me drive, it's my car darling...

26. It's Operation Chaos working it's magic. Many here have swallowed it whole.

5. Good question - guess none of the others thought it was a coronation.

6. Welcome to MSM on DU.

9. Have you ever called Richardson, Kucinich,

Gavel, Dodd, or Edwards supporters "sour-graped supporters"? No? Then that's how they're different. Really, your power of persuasion skills are lacking.

[kimmerspixelated]

20. Okay, now, be nice...

[classiclib4life]

11. Because it was her "turn"

:eyes:

12. Not a Hillary supporter here, but why not ask repugs this question?

It was an ugly primary. They might vote for Obama, they might not, but flinging more poo at them and chastising them for what they MIGHT do is no way to win more voters and influence people.

[Yes We Did]

19. Wish I could rec this response!

[kimmerspixelated]

21. Not trying to be super negative, really.

If I had meant to fling poo in a grand way, I would've used a lot of charts and expletives!

[question everything]

23. These Hillary primary supporters who would not vote for Obama are in the minority

or just had their own agenda from the start.

It is just the media and McCain who are magnifying them, some of them may just be actors, just like the woman who lip sync her "crush for Obama."

Still, I can understand any supporter who spent too much time around Obama supporters - like in DU. The attacks were personal and offensive. On Hillary and on her supporters. The attacks rarely had much to do with the campaign and more with Hillary herself: her makeup, her legs, her pant suits, her cleavage, her "lesbian lover." It would have required a strong self restraint, or just staying away from these pages to let this slide. And Hillary herself has done a great job at it. And, yes, adding Biden helped, too.

Human nature is such that you cannot tell one to stop feeling offended, or insulted, or slighted. And for many, the attacks on Hillary and on her supporters had personal implications to the lives of many professional women, just as the Anita Hill testimony had.

The best thing that many here can do, is to just ignore these TV ads, and comments.

On the other hand, I am convinced that there are many on DU, and perhaps in the country as a whole, who would love to continue crapping on Hillary just to support their obsession. They would prefer to lose the elections just so that they could blame her - they would, of course - and continue to trash her and make sure that she never runs again.

Here is a suggestion, that I hope would never need heeding: if Obama loses, it will be because of him, not because of Hillary.

25. I truly appreciate such an intelligent response.

Thanks!

27. Why? Because some voters decided this is their year, and they hate Obama for winning.

In their view, he stole the nomination from its rightful owner, Hillary, who had dibbs on it.
