Busy resting her voice, I guess. Baitball Blogger Aug 2014 #72

Wow....the Hatred of Hillary runs deep.... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #8

It isn't hatred. But some believe that H. Clinton is a corporatist and as such, she has rhett o rick Aug 2014 #10

I told you not to even bother telling me that..... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #12

EXACTLY! VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #144

But-- but they *insisted* you not point out that fact. Marr Aug 2014 #80

At this point, you can't honestly believe that people ONLY oppose HRC Ken Burch Aug 2014 #116

SEE that is the point "virtually everyone else" doesn't agree with you all! VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #145

That's WHY she's silent Doctor_J Aug 2014 #15

She is NOT an announced candidate. She's a private citizen and if she WERE speaking out, pnwmom Aug 2014 #109

You continue to reiterate that she is not an "announced candidate" as if that means rhett o rick Aug 2014 #136

Apparently it matters not to the same people who are haranguing Elizabeth Warren VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #149

I don't understand why you think it's necessary to be deceptive. No one is "haranguing" rhett o rick Aug 2014 #165

And? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #111

it appears Elizabeth has been misrepresented here AtomicKitten Aug 2014 #113

Hmmmm perhaps because she doesn't want to be continuously HOUNDED VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #143

Or maybe she believes AtomicKitten Aug 2014 #155

Or maybe you can read minds....and know hers better than she does??? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #157

You sound asceered of Elizabeth Warren. AtomicKitten Aug 2014 #158

Why would I be "askeered"? I love her....I am the one though.....that takes her at her word! VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #159

No funny YOU decide what Bill did was "misogyny" when you have no idea.... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #151

Let's talk about tradition, here is one: JaydenD Aug 2014 #152

Who called her an "evil whore" here? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #154

No hatred - Just seriously wondering why she is so quiet about this 4now Aug 2014 #24

She is NOT even a candidate yet...WTF is she supposed to say? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #38

You are doing a fine job building support for Hillary 4now Aug 2014 #96

LOL! Yup! With friends like VR . . . . . Divernan Aug 2014 #131

I see no hatred here. I see commentary on the lack of a response by what we are told is our best sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #30

WHY is she supposed to by YOUR estimation? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #39

She could take a lesson from Gov. Patrick of Mass. He stated that he is 'sick and tired of sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #82

Yes...HE is a governor...DUH! VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #85

I have to confess I am looking forward to whatever lummox way she decides to weigh in. JaydenD Aug 2014 #92

You are sure you want to say that about a potential Democratic Candidate... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #94

Why would there be a problem with having problems with what she has said? JaydenD Aug 2014 #95

Hillary is a supporter of Bush War Policies. That makes here unacceptable to Democrats sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #100

Says you.... VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #101

I was right last time. She lost, did she not, as was predicted based mainly on her support for Bush sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #105

who do these "Dems" generally support? VanillaRhapsody Aug 2014 #112

She isn't a candidate yet. And if she were speaking out, people would accuse her of grandstanding.nt pnwmom Aug 2014 #107

Well, since her silence on Ferguson proves her complete indifference about racism, Ken Burch Aug 2014 #115

Maybe there might be some hatred after all. JaydenD Aug 2014 #124

You're right. Count me among those who can't stand her. chrisa Aug 2014 #130
