Maybe an ungrateful nation doesn't deserve another Clinton?
I am at the point where I feel that the country does not deserve to have Hillary as President. that she should peace out and let Obama wear his prickly throne. He hasn't "paid his dues" I believe as have others before him, Jesse, Al, Andrew, Joe etc. Being of mixed parentage myself, I feel as though Obama in some ways uses this to keep would-be detractors on both sides at bay. Whatever the outcome of this primary and the GE, I will hold that the "universe is unfolding as it should." And Hillary should know that no matter what, she is loved.

1. The country doesn't deserve more "free trade," war, and basically selling
out this country for power.

2. For entirely different rationale, I agree. We don't deserve HRC, and she doesn't deserve US.
:shrug: Could you make this happen soon for the health of our beloved party? ;)

5. Take a deep breath, relax, and get ready for 8 years of prosperity
under Barack Obama's leadership. Leave the Clinton in the 90s.

6. She is respected by and admired by me
After Borak, I'd certainly vote for her.

But by your same reasoning, wouldn't Mckain be the better candidate?

ANyways, just throwing a mind-bender at you. Have fun with it or ignore it.

Hillary's great.

Take care.

8. How dare you peons not bow down before her??
Seriously. I don't support Hillary Clinton. I won't until she is officially our nominee.
I'm not ungrateful. Just uninterested.

He hasn't paid her dues? So you apparently think that hillary is owed the presidency? The country doesn't deserve her? Hillary should know that no matter what, she is loved? Wow, for all the talk of cultish behavior surrounding Obama, I think this post takes the cake!

This country can't afford to elect someone who has such poor judgment on matters as important as sending our troops off to war. Someone who votes for war based upon her own ambition.

No, this country and our troops don't deserve Hillary. You're right about that!

23. Her post said none of that. WTF are you talking about?
Why do you always twist the meanings of posts by putting your own words into them? That shit just ain't right.

16. Sounds like
something Eric Cartman might say. "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

We Americans sure are an ungrateful lot, aren't we? I guess we'll get what we deserve. :sarcasm:

19. Awesome post, jasmine. I think I know just how you feel
In a weird kind of way, it'll almost be a relief if she doesn't get the nomination. Then she can just live out the rest of her life in peace, instead of getting ripped to shreds forever and ever by jealous dimwits from both sides of the spectrum. If Obama gets the nod, I'll be pulling for him with everything I've got, but I'll be very interested to see how his whiny-assed supporters feel when the right wing tears him apart limb by limb in the general election and when all the forces of hate reach out to give him their best shots. Only then will the ungrateful minions here realize what Hillary has been up against all her political life, although I doubt they'll get it even then.

Watching Hillary, though, you know she won't be going without a fight.

22. Bwaahaahaa! You have got to be kidding?
Who has been elevated to cult status when such comments are made? Hillary is a politician. She is not the savior, she will not fix this country because she's "paid her dues". And saying Obama uses his bi-racial heritage to manipulate is a really low blow.

27. One can like one person for President over another with out
hating the second one. Heck I would be down in a minute to vote for Clinton I just like Obama better. Lets not be like the GOP and have to hate the other guy if your guy does no gets iN. Heck Bill was not my pick when he ran but I was pretty happy with him but for not fixing NAFTA. I was sure he would re-do that thing before it got to him.
