Bitter? Hell, I'm furious! Bitter can't begin to describe my anger.

If you like the status quo, vote for McSame, and get four more years of bush. In every area of politics, the last several years have infuriated me. The death of so many of our brave soldiers, the death of a million Iraqis, the killing of the environment for profit, the destruction of the middle class, I just can't name all of the unbelieveably horrific things that have happened to us and to the world in general under bushco. Doesn't Hillary get it? Oh wait, with 109 million in income in the last 7 years, I guess she isn't feeling any pain. Talk about elitist. I dislike her more daily.

3. Do you know how much Obama is worth? Money he can touch (not campaign funds)?

I do. He's not really rich. Compared to HRC, he's dirt poor.

2. I just can't believe she'd play this card after those tax returns

She's pulling a Rove by throwing "elitist" in his face less than a week after
it was revealed she and Bill earned $109 MILLION IN THE PAST 7 YEARS.

Just wondering, who used the word "elitist" first? Her or Bomb Bomb? Fixed
Noize? "Elitist and out of touch" has become her mantra ... where did she
get that?

4. I usually try to avoid Hillary bashing

But I just saw http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Clinton_Pennsylvania.html">this ad and I am absolutely furious right now.

Last night, Clinton correctly pointed out that we have "lost" the last 2 presidential elections because our nominees were perceived as elitist and out of touch (although as Obama correctly pointed out, Gore did not actually lose). Knowing that, she made the decision to run an ad calling our likely nominee out of touch and help feed what she acknowledges will be the Republican narrative against him.

How the hell does she get off acting like she is staying in for the good of the party, helping to prevent what she sees as a sure Republican landslide if Obama is the nominee, while openly working to help ensure his defeat by running ads portraying him as out of touch in a critical swing state? Kerry won Pennsylvania by less than 3% in 2004...if she manages to turn even a small bunch of Reagan Democrats off from Obama, it could hurt his chances in the general and she darn well knows it. I have long suspected that she'd try to bring him down so that she could run again in 2012 but have been unwilling to go as far as accusing her of doing that. Now I am convinced that that is her strategy, that if she won't get the nomination she is selfish enough to bring the whole party down. I have promised myself and the DU community that I would vote for her if she gets the nomination, and I am standing by my promise because I believe this country can't afford 4 more years of Bush-like policies. But if she succeeds at sabotaging Obama's chances in the general with this kind of garbage, I'll fight to my death to prevent her from getting the nomination in 2012.

6. I agree 100% -- just saw part of the ad on "Countdown" and I'm livid

You are absolutely correct -- she's advancing that same rightwing argument that
she claims cost us 2000 and 2004. She cannot possibly be thinking of the good
of the party by doing this -- she's exposing her naked personal ambition. I'm
disgusted and will find it very difficult to vote for her if in some way she
ends up as our nominee this year (but I agree with you about 2012 and beyond --
she'll get no support from me).
