Senator Clinton has destroyed goodwill with her supporters, superdelegates: Obama defections?
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 04:38 PM by CorpGovActivist
Within my circle of family and friends, I have - over the course of the last year - heard many say, "I started out supporting Hillary. She lost my support."

That has been my own personal experience, too.

Has a single superdelegate defected FROM Obama, TO Clinton?

Or have they all beaten the same path as that so many others in my own circle have? FROM Clinton, TO Obama?

She's her own worst enemy. I no longer even advocate that she stay in the Senate now. That's a major shift for me. I want her OUT of our political arena. Let her go write a book - without a ghostwriter - about all the goodwill she lost, as http://www.despair.com/mis24x30prin.html">a cautionary tale for others who think they're owed a clear-shot coronation.

- Dave

P.S. I'd buy http://www.despair.com/los24x30prin.html">this one for Mark Penn.

4. I am one fo the people she lost
I would have been happy to vote for her, if she won the nomination. That was before I saw her, her family and her supporters in action.

You know for years I could never understand why the Clintons inspired such hatred. After all his policies were moderate, the Country did very well during his presidency. So why was there such venom and hate directed at them? Well I guess I am guilty of looking the other way. Consciously or unconsciously I didn't pick up the fact that they were employing the same tactics (be it less refined and not as dishonest) as Karl Rove. I was able to clearly see those refined tactics in Rove. It was something that angered me beyond belief. I felt those tactics were dishonest, unethical and immoral. I honestly felt those tactics hurt the Country and I have publicly stated as much.
Wouldn't I be a major league hyporcrite if I suddenly changed my views on these tactics? How can I have spent years saying how bad these tactics were, and then suddenly turn around and say they are OK because a Democrat is using them? The Clintons and her supporters are acting exactly as Bush and his supporters acted. There is no difference other than the R is now a D. I didn't engage in politics for personal gain or a lust for power. I wanted the Country to be better. I wanted it freed from the right wingers and the way they did things. While there is little doubt Hillary will be more liberal than George Bush, I see little reason she will be any more honest or ethical. These traits matter to me, maybe I am an idealist, but I have to think that my voice matters. It matters enough that I have to send a message to the candidates and their supporters that politics, as usual, is no longer acceptable. It's perhaps the biggest reason I am supporting Obama. He is has Carter's ethics and honesty combined with Reagan's leadership and charisma (even if he led the Country in the wrong direct, there is no arguing his ability to lead). He is what I want in a president.

5. Extremely well said!
I deplore the Clintons' admiration for Rovish tactics.

Rules matter. The institutions (e.g., the party, the convention, etc.) matter.

The Clintons need to learn their proper place in American History.

8. Her are a few
Her plagerism charge

Her false alligations that Obama was soft on pro-choice

Her false claims that Obama took his anti Iraq war speech off his website

Her husbands blatant attempt to stir up racism in SC, amoung white voters

Her attack ads in Wisconsin

Do I need to list more?

what do you think of obama's tactics? personally, i wish they'd both focus more on attacking bush's failures than each other. i find them both disappointing at this point.

11. I consider Obama a good man, sure he has taken a few jabs
but it's clear he does it mostly in self defense. I am sure if the Clintons were not employing Rovian tactics, he wouldn't be taking any jabs. However all in all I think he has done a pretty good job carrying himself in an honorable manner.

15. i disagree about self-defense
i think some of obama's tactics were offensive strategy to appeal to certain voters, and not always in an honorable manner. having said that, if he wins the nomination, i will vote for him.

instead of on attacking each other, and both have done that. and of course, some of obama's rhetoric is an attack on clinton and the democratic party. i understand why he does it...i just don't think it's accurate or entirely honest.

81. Why doesn't that link quote Obama
I mean if he attacked, I would think HIS words would be the most powerful. Instead I read a Hillary supportor accusing Obama of attacking. Based on their track record, that really isn't good enough for me.

Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 11:33 AM by noiretblu
edwards was the best candidate, hands down. i think obama and clinton will lose the GE, regardless of what the polls indicate. and even if he wins, the expectations he has created and those that have been foisted on him will undo.

139. I still go back and forth on Edwards as Veep or AG...
... and Edwards was my top choice going into the voting. But he pulled out before I had a chance to seal the deal.

But Obama has a fighting chance of flipping some states that should still be blue back into the blue column, and taking some ripening, purplish-to-blue states like Virginia as well.

51. You misunderstood. If she steals this election via smoky room deals, arm twisting
and threats of lawsuits, I don't care where Obama lands. She won't get my vote and I am sure that there are plenty of other registered Democrats right behind me.

Oh, and forget the indies in that case as well.

People are tired of scorched-earth, win-at-any-cost.

No matter -- I don't believe that she is going to be our nominee. Although it wouldn't surprise me if she showed up on January 20th and demanded her coronation.

One thing is for certain. The Clinton team has never seen a loss of this magnitude. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.

59. He is a politician, not God Himself.
She divides people. As much as he can call for the democratic party to stand behind her, she steals this and she doesn't have my vote.

How hard is that to understand?

We unite behind him, she divides us.

Don't make him out to be immortal -- he is simply a politician trying to be the voice of the people.

She says things like he's soft on certain issues. Obama's camp says things like "she can't keep her own house in order, how can she keep the country in order?" thereby dredging up the Lewinsky thing. What a despicable thing to do.

Clinton stirred up racism? What nonsense! Racism entered this race when Oprah made the gratuitous reference to the "I have a dream." I have a dream? In a fight against Hillary? Thereby saying win one for the black man by voting against Hillary. That's where racism entered this race.

She ran attack ads? Hello, this is a political campaign. There will be attack ads. If there are ones that are demeaning or false, you might have a point.

Geez, how people have been brainwashed by a completely substance-free Obama campaign.

93. Let me field this: the Clintons lie for political expediency; any "substance" is a mirage...
... subject to the whims and vagaries of whatever she thinks will get her elected or re-elected.

Many in the LGBT community, for example, know you can't trust a position either one takes in a race.

They're reaping precisely the crop they've sown.

55. Here they are arranged by stage - we are now officially in Stage V
Stage I When you do not have the best position on the war - prevaricate

Stage II When you do not have the clear voice of leadership - triangulate

Stage III When you do not have the momentum - trivialize the election just lost

Stage IV When you do not have anywhere to go - instigate a smear on the supporters as unthinking cultists

Stage V When the supporters embrace the slur and turn it around - start backing up the dump truck and release a load
against the leader who has sparked a fire across the country.

Stage VI When this desperate tactic is reviled - step aside as the great locomotive of history barrels by you and you turn to watch history pass you by.

... when she got the Senate seat, though I had misgivings about its being NY.

Now, I want them GONE from our political discourse. I want the page turned. Once and for all.

74. "the same tactics (be it less refined and not as dishonest) as Karl Rove"
Rove has stated he admires them, and considers them to be teachers, of a sort.

Whether he meant that tongue-in-cheek or not is anyone's guess.

9. Look at her website's policies section. That's a good start. Where she provides...
... specifics, I often find myself astonished that her "Experience" led her to the incrementalist position she espouses.

Where she dodges, she drives away.

Where she refuses to admit error, she closes the door to a return.

Where she outright lies about her record, she clicks the deadbolt.

She drove us away by her positions, by the SHRILL attitude of her surrogates and her own scoldings, etc.

I could spend a day discussing her goodwill-losing mis-steps.

13. obama's positions aren't much different
than clinton's are they? even with his change and hope rhetoric, obama admits that he is talking about change that is possible, with dialogue and inclusion.
in any case, i think either of them would be an improvement over bush. so, would you support clinton if she wins the nomination?

35. Unlike you, I can't say I ever supported her candidacy, and this
just proves that my gut feelings were right about her all along. Like you, I wish she would just make a quick exit from the political scene, and we don't have to see her ever again. Oh...and she can take the Big Dawg with her.

I think this has been worse for Bill than Hillary, because he was a Democratic icon and on his way to becoming a world class statesman. Now he's out on the campaign trail, regularly making a fool of himself, and becoming a very small man in the eyes of many. It'll be interesting, when this is all over, to see where their collective favorability ratings wind up.

Thanks for posting.

112. After all of the contributions...
that Carpetbaggers have made towards bettering society - by injecting themselves into political contests for which they have no meaningful stake in the outcome. How can you hate so much? When Hillary went to NY to run as their Senator, she did so - not out of political convenience - but because she wanted to help New York. They didn't know they needed the help at the time, but that's how selfless people work - they give of themselves for the sake of giving. She could have picked any old random state, but no. She wanted to help New York. Why? That's not for us to question. You can't look a gift horse in the mouth. She's like the Gandhi of Carpetbaggers. Her mission is clear, we shouldn't question it.

That said, it's obvious that you have a clear bias against Carpetbaggers. Maybe its that selflessness that only appears to be political opportunism on the surface. Maybe you just can't look something so pure in the eyes, pal. In this day and age...you clearly are a throwback to the past, mister. For shame.
