ALL my posts in the last 48 hours included 2 very pro Hillary stories, get off my back

[Omaha Steve]

I'm not about taking shots at any DEMOCRATIC Candidate. I took a lot of crap when I broke the original Edwards haircut story while a Gore man at the time. Whomever wins the nomination, I will be backing male or FEMALE! I've already said if you can't take the mud the right side throws at Hillary (or any of our candidates), don't look at discussions on the DU. Here we read and analyze and comment and prepare our retorts for the right side of the aisle, the people we know and work with, etc...

I felt the Billary story was pro-Hillary. It points out the mud the right has had years to throw, yet nationwide she is the front runner and closed with these two lines:

"The bottom line is that middle America probably feels better that they are still together. If that's what it takes to make a woman the most powerful person in the world, that's fine by me."

I took that as with all the faults we hear about Senator H R Clinton , I'll take her winning period!

Perhaps you missed my avatar image about Nam/Iraq? There was nothing wrong with posting I'll bring our boys home from Iraq, says Clinton!

Please note I usually post more labor stories in 24 hours than all others combined do in a week. The next few days will be slow since our A/C died in the middle of the heat wave. What was wrong with me posting her exemplary voting record in the Senate on labor?

Now if you want to go after somebody, go post about what is wrong with Republican candidates, not what is wrong with DU members. My track record is pro-Democrat and in very good standing here on the DU.

2. Congratulations on taking the pledge to support our Democratic candidate.

You have a good grasp of reality. Either a Democrat or a Republican will be the next president and I prefer that person to be a Democrat. We cannot each and every one of us have our own personally pure ideological candidate. That's just not how it works.

[Faux pas]

3. I'm no hillary fan. I think she's too far on the right for my taste.

The fact that so many rethugs get so riled up about her is another strike against her. I think she will be the catalyst that will bring out the previously non voting rethugs out in droves to vote against her, and then we lose, again.

and PS-Any candidate will say anything to win an election, I think it's been that way since the dawn of politics. Lying is not an appealing trait, no matter who's dong it.

[Totally Committed]

4. Right on!

When you're right, you're right! Very well-said.

[Faux pas]

5. Thank you! I appreciate that. n/t

[ruggerson]

6. Just using the rightwing pejorative "Billary"

is buying into their agenda.

[paulk]

7. I think some of the Hillary supporters

are getting a little too thin skinned.

It's understandable maybe, given that there are some posters on here with a 24/7 hatred of all things Hillary that surpasses anything rational.

I've never thought you were in that group, and I didn't find the accusations you are referring to fair.
