A Toast to Hillary Clinton - She is an inspiration

[Mizmoon]

Never say die, my friends. Never give up.

Look at the venom she has to put up with. Look at the uphill battles against the media. Yet she keeps her chin up and keeps going and keeps her spirits high (at least in public).

I am inspired by her.

She is amazing.

I have learned something from Hillary Clinton. Tenacity, courage, and faith will take you far. I plan to apply this to my personal life. Thank you Hillary! And congrats!

[NJmaverick]

1. How does spewing venom= venom she has to put up with

That boggles the mind

[Voice for Peace]

49. She IS inspiring! She inspires me to donate once again to Obama.

Quoted from somewhere on this board (sorry I can't credit it properly):

She now has to win
-Guam by 32%
-North Carolina by 32%
-Kentucky by 32%
-Montana by 32%
-Puerto Rico by 32%
-Indiana by 32%
-West Virginia by 32%
-Oregon by 32%
-South Dakota by 32%

to beat Obama by ONE pledged delegate.

2. She's more like a perspiration problem.

[polpilot]

45. Pro-Iraq War (I didn't know what I was voting for?), Pro-NAFTA (I forgot I was for that?)

Sniper-gate (Diud I say that?) Universal Healthcare Advocate (Been working 'hard' for that since 1992), Nuclear Advocate (I'll kill 'em all, anybody everybody)... Hillary...what an inspiration..what a woman!!!!

[Fredda Weinberg]

3. Back at cha! n/t

[PseudoIntellect]

4. Yeah, she was inspirational today.

I just hope she learns to give up soon enough.

6. Whatever works for you. She does absolutely nothing for me.

[sandnsea]

7. She's taught me I should have lied more n/t

[emilyg]

8. Congrats to Hillary.

[dorktv]

9. Indeed. :)

[girl gone mad]

10. The media is fighting her battles...

for her and the only venom I see is coming out of her fangs.

[OzarkDem]

11. One of the strongest women I know

And probably our most fearless Dem women leader.

:applause:

[BootinUp]

12. I'm enjoying the bitter responses, not too many sour grapes here, yet.

I'm sure more losers will chime in.

[otohara]

15. Who's Bitter, Those BO Supporters on DU

or the whopping number of Pennsylvanians who say they won't vote for BO in GE. Rather stay home or vote for McCain.

This place ain't nearly as scary as bitter Hillary supporters in PA.

[frogcycle]

13. thanks for posting this

it gave me several jerks to add to my ignore list - even tho it is not working at the moment, it's nice to see the collection grow for saner times

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. The newsmax "Should Hillary quit" ad has been running since Iowa

[KittyWampus]

27. No, that's Democrats who want to win and stop wasting resources in a primary she can't win

not Newsmax.

Deluded is the word that fits best.

[DemBones DemBones]

16. She keeps her spirits high even when she has been attacked unmercilessly, while

BHO and the obamatons whine like spoiled small children when things don't go their way.

The media have rooted for BHO for months, he spent $15 million in PA while HRC spent only $3 million, and still SHE WINS!!!

Dems need to unite behind Hillary because Barack is history.

[walldude]

17. Yup.. inspiring

[charlyvi]

18. I'm an Obama supporter, Mizmoon.

But I'm happy for you tonight.

[Ellen Forradalom]

19. She's tough.

If Obama wins it, she's gonna make him work for it.

That's a good thing.

[rhett o rick]

20. Big win for the corporatists and a defeat for grass-roots activism. nm

[OhioBlue]

22. exactly. n/t

[rhett o rick]

21. Big win for the corporatists and a defeat for grass-roots activism. nm

[longship]

23. Always dissemble!

She is truly amazing.

But that is precisely why I could never support her in any way before the GE.
She's run the dirtiest campaign against a fellow Democrat. Osama bin Laden, even!!
That's a particularly well-known Rovian tactic.

I don't like her very much. She's not very nice. And she's not the type of Democrat
who I want to support.

Left with no other choice...

[kevinbgoode]

24. Yes...Rush and Ann Coulter just absolutely adore her. . .

along with the rest of the Right temporarily supporting her campaign.

[GoesTo11]

25. Never say die. Never give up.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

[Lilith Velkor]

26. Mizmoon!

Good to see you again, it's been awhile.

I feel the same way, and I used to hate her centrist guts. But anyway--

Here's to Hillary! :toast:

[Mizmoon]

31. Hi, yes it's been awhile

I like to stop by when there are big democratic happenings ... see what DU in general is up to. Thanks for remembering me.

[RareLubbockDem]

28. She 'inspried' me to donate to future President Obama

And it looks like lots of others feel the same.

[Aussie leftie]

29. k & r

[Zhade]

30. Yes, a toast to the heroine of Tuzla!

:rofl:

(Must remind noobs: she's a proven liar about Tuzla and nonexistent sniper fire.)

[shayes51]

32. Cheers!

Nice post. Don't worry about all the negative responses (and they talk about Hillary's being negative!).

[susankh4]

33. Fabulous job Hillary!

You are a real fighter! No glass jaw there!:applause:

K&R

[davidpdx]

34. She's toast alright...

[BeyondGeography]

35. Praising McCain, invoking Osama, obliterating Iran...A real role model all right

:freak:

[GalleryGod]

36. Obsession Does too. Are ou a Democrat or a Clintonista?

NEVER mind...we all ready know.

[RBInMaine]

37. "Inspired" by wild-eyed nuke talk??

[Clintonista2]

38. K&R. To my fellow Clinton supporters, thank you for not responding to the Obot attacks above

Let them talk to themselves. It makes our victory last night even more delicious :)

[KansasVoter]

39. Actually Hillary said "Never GET Up", She misspoke as usual!

[NoPasaran]

40. From Pennsylvania to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Yes she will!

:toast:

[kikiek]

41. Great post! She is a wonder! Talk about tough as nails. Go Hillary!

Those who hate her will never see her wonderful inspirational qualities. Their loss.

[4themind]

42. She'll fight for herself at least

no doubt about that

[flpoljunkie]

43. Hillary is Liberman on steroids who thinks "it's her turn" and she and Bill will do anything to win.

Sound like anyone? That's right! The Bushes!

Even her hometown newspaper took her to task in an editorial today on her "nuking Iran" statements:

On the eve of this crucial primary, Mrs. Clinton became the first Democratic candidate to wave the bloody shirt of 9/11. A Clinton television ad — torn right from Karl Rove’s playbook — evoked the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, the Cuban missile crisis, the cold war and the 9/11 attacks, complete with video of Osama bin Laden. “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen,” the narrator intoned.

If that was supposed to bolster Mrs. Clinton’s argument that she is the better prepared to be president in a dangerous world, she sent the opposite message on Tuesday morning by declaring in an interview on ABC News that if Iran attacked Israel while she were president: “We would be able to totally obliterate them.”

By staying on the attack and not engaging Mr. Obama on the substance of issues like terrorism, the economy and how to organize an orderly exit from Iraq, Mrs. Clinton does more than just turn off voters who don’t like negative campaigning. She undercuts the rationale for her candidacy that led this page and others to support her: that she is more qualified, right now, to be president than Mr. Obama.

[PBS Poll-435]

52. Great OP

Thanks

[madwivoter]

53. Yup. She's inspiring me to give more money to Barack Obama's campaign

And make more phone calls and knock on more doors.

I'm one of those people that plans on giving his campaign a constant trickle of money throughout his campaign, and I know I'm not alone.

[Occam Bandage]

54. An inspiration to McCain, yes.
