ALL Democrats should be OUTRAGED at Hill and Bill given their latest stunts.
If ANY Dem, no matter who you have supported thus far, is not completely OUTRAGED that Hillary would sink to the absolute gutter bottom and screech to Bill Richardson that he shouldn't endorse Obama because "he can't win Bill" and then have the audacity to spin the Richardson endorsement as "irrelevent now that Texas is over" (as if he only helps with Hispanics) then I'm bewildered. And then, for Bill to screech the LIE that Richardson told him 5 times that he wouldn't endorse Obama and other rants to a room of CA superdelegates is equally outrageous.

Yes, it is an OUTRAGE and should seal their electoral fate in this contest. They are willing to say and do absolutely ANYTHING to grab what they think is their birthright. Well Mr. and Mrs. Clinton,
I voted with you twice, but I'm DONE with you bigtime in this primary contest. You are yesterday's news, and your behavior in this campaign has not only damaged our party tremendously, but has INSULTED ALL Democrats to the core.

Mrs. Clinton, you have embraced McCain to attack Obama. You have insulted small and red states as irrelevant. You have lied about your record to appear more "experienced" than you are. You were for the DNC enforcing the rules in MI and FL before you were against it, and are on RECORD acknowledging last fall that your name on the MI ballot didn't matter because those votes "aren't going to count". (Then you flip and flop and try to use the issue to your advantage.) You thought it was going to be over on Feb. 5th, and are not pissed royal that it isn't. You were silent about the Wright issue, then tried to slickly use it to deflect fire over Snipergate. You have embraced that scoundrel Scaife in hope of a newspaper endorsement. You stole John Edwards lines and accused Obama of "plagiarism". You said last fall that you would "work" and not "fight or hope" for change, and now you are stealing from Edwards again and morphing into the "fighter" for the working class (while gladly accepting more money from lobbyists and corporate PACS than the R's). You were for NAFTA before your were against it. and on and on and on...

You are SLICK HILLY, and this party does not belong to you and your husband. And, this nomination does not belong to you and your husband. You don't own it.

Every Democrat of every stripe should be disgusted with the Clintons and their machine !

Thankfully, at least half the party realizes it.

5. Because they want power and willing to day or do ANYTHING to get it.
What is more baffling is why they aren't losing supporters in droves after all this rotten shit !!

4. Well, Bill Richardson isn't going to help in places like Puerto Rico
They'd probably laugh as he addressed them in Spanish with his mainlander accent, right?

6. "Richardson told him 5 times that he wouldn't endorse Obama"
this is sounding even more like a bible story now - Carville's reference to Judas and the pieces of silver - didn't Jesus read the future and say something like 'and before the cock crows you will deny me X times"?

anyway, found this a little too creepy and codey or something.

20. And Richardson isn't walking around with a black eye?
He must be lucky with the finger in face angry and punchy Bill!

10. Great post
Sums up all the relevant points nicely for those who don't agree with you.

18. I cannot comprehend authentic Clinton supporters
Not the trolls, but the people who actually, truly, still support and in some cases even admire Hillary Clinton. She has shown with her words and actions that she is despicable.

23. Most of the charges from Obama supporters turn out to be false or trumped up....
Blown way out of proportion and meant only to destroy and smear. They dont care wether it is true or not

Obama is now officially a republican running a repubican style campaign

Pick your republican, Hillary, Obama or McCain

21. I won't slam the Clinton's
but I do think they are disingenuous about dismissing states. I wish some of their supporters would acknowledge it. When I hear the stuff repeated about most of the states that voted and then they say something about letting all the states finish voting, it makes me want to throw up.

22. More smear from Obamites...
Smear: a usually unsubstantiated charge or accusation against a person or organization —often used attributively <a smear campaign><a smear job>

A smear campaign, smear tactic or simply smear is a metaphor for activity that can harm an individual or group's reputation by conflation with a stigmatized group. Sometimes smear is used more generally to include any reputation-damaging activity, including such colloquialisms as mud slinging.

Apparently Obama is now a republican too.

Now we have three republicans to choose from.

24. The things in OP the clintons did themselves, they destroy their reputation by their OWN actions...
Can you actually dispute the things mentioned in the OP happened? So pointing these out is smearing?? Oh boy.

Maybe you should get together with dana perino and ask her how all these people "smear" gwb and his good reputation with non-issues like "lying about war" and stuff...

25. I went through the same outrage weeks ago and have come out on the other side.
The result:

They are no longer Democrats. They are in the same category as Joe Lieberman.

They no longer hold any relevance.

I'm not wasting one scintilla of emotion on either of them ever again.

Over. Done. Time to smile and be polite and shut the door on the Clinton epoch.
