Hillary Clinton Room Post. Thank you to all Hillary supporters for defending and praising her on DU.

Hillary Clinton Room Post.

As we all know it is not easy to be a Hillary Clinton supporter on DU but I am glad that more and more members are standing up for her as it is clear she is our future.

I am glad to see posters who were not as vocal in their support becoming more vocal. I am glad more posters are fighting back against the vitriol against Hillary on this site.

We must continue to fight for her in the days to come. We must stand up for her on DU because DU still matters.

Posted in the HRC room.

And for as many posts as I make defending her, I start some and just delete--the willingness to believe any lie about her, without fact checking leads me to believe it is pointless.

The amount of praise heaped on O'Malley, would lead someone to believe he is more liberal than Clinton, which we know not to be true. Facts do not appear to be necessary.

Agree to disagree, without a blood battle, is a better direction considering the early stages of the campaign.

I would expect my Hillary peeps to not only have my back but also humbly welcome their letting me know if I cross the line with my posted words.
That's only fair in keeping civility around here.

extending their comments to embrace utter horseshit from the RW propaganda machine.

My advice is to direct your replies to substantive criticism with grace, and to swing the hammer on the 'no difference' crowd when it blatantly presents itself.

The honest critics know the difference and will accept the exchange based on the merit, and the Rand2016 crowd will be left exposed and sputtering.

And though they protest the word 'hater', their words define them as nothing but.

I am so proud of Sec State Clinton.
I wish her strength against the opposition & all their influence.
She is such a survivor & that is the character that draws me to her.
I love what she has stood for, her entire life.

I worked for Wendy Davis for Gov campaign & this time around my determination is even stronger.

Seeing what Davis was up against is similar to Hillary's battle. After watching that dirty cluster of GOP here in Tx, I want nothing more than Hillary to influence some serious change here.
She will draw those who have been abandoned by this GOP stranglehold & bring out those who would generally avoid voting.

And if by chance Hillary should prove us right by choosing San Antonio darling Julian Castro as her VP, Texas will see a shift. That is the shift that the RW fears and for good reason.

Carry on with your campaign work. We can exchange notes as the year progresses.

I see the fight ahead for Hillary Clinton and the grand possibility of being blessed by a Pres win & have decided to stick to DU & this Hillary Group a bit longer.

I've joined her campaign here in Tx. It will be a battle, but should she choose Julian Castro (HUD & ex San Antonio Mayor) the battle will quickly become a happy party.

I will give it another chance & see how long I can stand to watch DU go from informative on DU policies & our way of life, to what we have today.

I am waiting for the Clinton loathers to do some good for this 2016 election and direct their rage towards the big money, organization of the fascist RW.

I'll see how long I can last here. The Clinton campaign in Tx should keep me focused on the greater good rather than the shitty posters in GD

Carville is trying to cause problems but he may be right. The only reason that Romney dropped out is that Jeb locked up Romney's funding sources. If Jeb falters in New Hampshire after losing in Iowa, I can see Romney getting back in.

This also could be the year where the base/religious right voters agree to one candidate to run against the establismeent candidate. If that happens, we could have another 1964 where the base rejects the RNC and the establishment and selects somone like Carnival Cruz. Romney would not want Carnival Cruz to be the nominee and may jump pack in if Jeb is not viable.

here. It reminds me of the BOG when there were posters who were offended that we have our own Group to celebrate the President's Accomplishments. They couldn't understand why they couldn't come in and whine when they had the whole board to do just that.




I think this hug is when SCOTUS upheld Obamacare.. can't be certain, though.

I hate banning people but the reality is I always know where I am posting. I don't think it is hard for members to do the same.

Some I think wear it with pride that they got banned from here.
