It's up to Hillary supporters to join the winning side

[mudesi]

I don't see why Obama supporters need to court the Hillary supporters for their vote. If Hillary is really such the Democrat as her loyalists are so quick to claim, then she, and her supporters will back Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.

I'm a Kucinich supporter and I'm backing the Democratic nominee. I didn't need Barack Obama to be for universal health care or gay marriage or gun control. He's wrong on all those issues just like Hillary, but he won the nomination, people. It happened about two months ago when he took Wisconsin.

So spare me, Hillary holdouts. Get with the program or get lost. There's such a thing as being a sore loser. How do you think the rest of us felt when our candidates lost? If you need others to convince you to vote for Obama over McCain this November, you're beyond help anyway.

1. Hillary supporters do not wish to be "courted"

Thanks but my husband does a good job of that, even after 37 years of marriage.

[slinkerwink]

38. it is always up to us to be magnamious. There is more to be gained in reaching out.

[leftofcool]

39. Agreed, but "courted" not. This is another condescending word

[slinkerwink]

41. I didn't even see that in the OP.

[rodeodance]

46. "I don't see why Obama supporters need to court the ..." FROM THE OP.

[mudesi]

61. Court

Court - 17. to try to win the favor, preference, or goodwill of: to court the rich.

:eyes:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

71. It was used as mis-direction.

That poster has no intent of voting for the nominee.

[theHandpuppet]

77. You call that OP magnanimous?

Get with the program or get lost?

If you call that reaching out to the other side, you folks really are clueless.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. your sense of your own importance as it pertains to my decisions is vastly exaggerated.

[Lerkfish]

4. well, that's an ironic declaration.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. why? its true. do i think its stupid to alienate voters by calling them stupid? yes

do i think this posters particular behavior will effect my vote? no

and yes i do think its shows an exaggerated sense of self.

[Lerkfish]

17. not sure you understand the meaning of the word "irony"

look it up.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. i do and ofcourse sniffa would show up.

[Lerkfish]

40. no, I"m not really sure you do

LOL


when you say "your sense of your own importance as it pertains to my decisions is vastly exaggerated"
it's ironic, coming from a hillary supporter.

very very ironic.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. how so?

[Lerkfish]

47. deleted by request

[slinkerwink]

49. please delete that. That was very patronizing and not helpful.

Would you want someone to patronize YOU like that?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

52. apparently condescension and mocking is what one should expect

[Lerkfish]

54. well, I was assuming you were intentionally playing dumb.

and responded in kind. I deleted it for you so you could feel better about yourself.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. back to mocking, lovely.

[Lerkfish]

57. and your post I responded to was not mocking?

really?

passive aggressive bullshit is so juvenile and disappointing.

you know what, I'll solve the problem altogether.

*plomk*

[Lerkfish]

59. read post #2, just one more time.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

51. i have noticed how condescension is perfectly acceptable behavior

:eyes:

such graceful winner.

[Lerkfish]

56. do you HONESTLY not understand why its ironic? really?

I have trouble believing anyone here is that obtuse.

[sniffa]

18. ...

:rofl:

[Lerkfish]

23. I knew sniffa would know the definition of irony.

:)

[TahitiNut]

31. "you are sense of your own ..." .... huh?

:banghead:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. corrected for grammar. does it help?

[TahitiNut]

43. Yup. I prefer irony that's homonym-free.

:eyes:

[The River]

3. They Will Come November

so give it a rest. Let them adjust to the fact that Clinton
will not be the nominee.
Saying things like "Get with the program or get lost." won't
help Obama get elected.

[rock]

5. I suppose what's worse than a sore loser is a sore winner

:)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. ...

:thumbsup:

[Blondbostonian]

7. This is RECOMMENDED

Clinton lost. Obama won. I'm loving life right now. :) To the victor go the spoils.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. only if you are looting and pillaging.

[Blondbostonian]

11. We get the White House back

You get to join or vote for McCain. I really don't care what you do.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. using the logic of pirates and soldiers doesnt apply to politics.

you wont win without the help of all dems.

[Blondbostonian]

15. Real Democrats will help

The idiots on Taylor Marsh and Hillaryis44 won't. I don't want them in my party either.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. we wont win by just the core dem vote either. rubbing people's losses in their face

if you do it outside a message board will cost us

[joeprogressive]

20. See, that's the great paradox. If we have to convince and suck

up to you as to why you should vote for Obama, then you aren't really a Democrat. Good Democrats get on board without condition. Lukewarm Democrats can vote for McCain at their own detriment and the detriment of the entire country. If that makes sense to them then this country has much bigger problems than someone getting their feelings hurt on an internet board.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. what makes you think i am talking about me? most people on this site

will vote dem but you will have to convince other people to vote for obama and being all cocky and bitchy wont help.

[joeprogressive]

35. Try not to confuse "it's time to move on to the GE and

we will not suck up comments as cocky and bitchy." If I was a HRC supporter and a female, I would most likely be using faux outrage to call you a sexist for using the word bitchy. That occured daily here but HRC supporters are somehow outraged by the way they were treated.

As I have posted many times, both sides said nasty things. No one side more than the other. When it is officially over, the nastiness will subside. The problem is, HRC is making it worse by protracting the fight.

[apocalypsehow]

63. Excellent post, and spot-on. Wish we could rec individual posts.

:thumbsup:

[theHandpuppet]

79. Why of course it's recommended

As anyone knows by now, any thread bashing Hillary Clinton or telling her supporters to "get with the program" will get scores of recommendations, whether or not the thread is actually worthy of them. Used to be a thread recommendation actually meant something.

[ruggerson]

10. Then why write endless OP's about it?

[Blondbostonian]

13. i want this to kick above the 85th thread about Michelle Obama and the new church tape.

[MonkeyFunk]

14. I would love for Clinton

to still pull out a win, largely to see how many of you guys would insist you'd never vote for her.

[Blondbostonian]

16. I would love for Jessica Alba to come over my house too

neither your or my scenario will be happening anytime soon.

Hillary lost :)

[Lerkfish]

21. ooh! me next! me next! and angelina jolie, too!

[Lerkfish]

19. the problem with that is that we would still vote for her, and have ALWAYS said so

no matter how many times you trot out this slanderous lie, its not true...except in evidence for hillary supporters who are posting thread after thread after thread about the exact thing you're fabricating here.

try to debate honestly....ok, it'll be a new experience for you.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. either you are blind or stupid or both, after hillarys first win there were hundreds of people

who swore never to vote for her even in the GE

[Lerkfish]

42. links? proof?

if there were "hundreds" there should be proof laying about.

[scarletwoman]

72. Well, to be truthful, I started saying I would never vote for Hillary Clinton for prez in 2002.

And I pretty much have never stopped saying it ever since.

But then, I'm also not an Obama booster. I would much prefer he get the Dem nomination, but that's simply because he's the only candidate left who's not Hillary Clinton.

I don't want the White House in the hands of the DLC any more than I want the White House in the hands of the neocons ever again.

sw

[MonkeyFunk]

73. Except so many of you have said

the opposite. I've seen far more people say they would NEVER vote for Clinton than people saying they would never vote for Obama.

[joeprogressive]

27. Polls show it is the HRC supporters, by a wide margin, that are making the "we won't

support the Dem nominee if it wasn't our choice" argument. It proves how much more petty and childish the Hillary crowd is.

[Evergreen Emerald]

28. racist AND childish.

I wonder why Clinton supporters are so upset?

[greguganus]

30. They are like their leader. Racist and childish. n/t

[bridgit]

48. You mean whereas BHO peeps are just childish & catty?

[joeprogressive]

36. You said racist not me. Are you feeling guilty about something?

[Lerkfish]

44. I didn't see the word racist in the post you responded to.

:shrug:

[bridgit]

50. There was an 'edit', I wonder what was edited out...

:dilemma:

[Lerkfish]

53. oh, thanks, I didn't notice the "edit"

therefore I have no idea what it said originally for sure

[Erin Elizabeth]

70. I'd love to hit the powerball lottery, too.

Think that'll happen?

[slinkerwink]

29. YOU ARE NOT BEING PRODUCTIVE AT ALL. It is always up to the supporters of the winner to extend a

hand out to the supporters of the losing candidates.

[cboy4]

32. Why would you tell even one Democrat to get lost?

The election is going to be so close, every single vote is going to matter.

You do the Democratic Party no favors by ordering people to do what you want or join the other side.

Here's a photo of Howard Dean chewing your ass out:

34. cause dude's ego cracks like peanut brittle when it hits the floor...

better to let baby have his bottle, or he'll be screaming and pounding his fork & knife on the high chair table all through dessert

[joeybee12]

58. Um, yeah the sense of entitlement is astounding...

...from people like you who think we should all believe Obama is the saviour. No one should take anyone's vote for granted...it's up to the candidate to get his or her message out, not to assume that the voters already agree with you.

[truth please]

60. I was watching C-Span this morning and the subject was

2008 House and Senate race. They wanted to know how you would vote. There were several calls from Hillary supporters blaming Obama for her loss and swearing to vote for McCain for President. These women blamed Obama for everything with one stating that the Democratic party needed to pay for electing Obama over Hillary. If the women on the two other hate Obama websites get their wish and start this large movement to elect McCain out of revenge. What do they think happens to her Presidential bid the next time around? Do they think people will forget the massacre of our party and vote for Hillary? I think not, especially if things get worse than they are now. I know I won't forget or forgive, and I'm sure there will be a massive amount of people that will share that sentiment.

In the beginning I was for John Edwards his campaign just couldn't seem to take off. I don't blame either of the remaining candidates for the failure of mine. I read the other sites and the vitriol coming from people that are supposed to be caregivers is unreal. You know your heart is hateful when you seek advice from Limbaugh and Hannity and conspire to tank Obama's candidacy because your candidate didn't win. I swear I don't think these women are real Democrat's. They are just women that want to see a women in the White House and are trying to turn good, decent women against Obama by saying the most ignorant and hateful things over and over like Carl Rove has taught the Republicans.

[emilyg]

62. Silly op.

[blues90]

64. What makes anyone think that most Hillary supporters

who won't vote for Obama will vote for McCain? This is just another one of those talking points ramped up and repeated over and over go spread guilt trips.

The main problem that started all of this crap in the first place was how Obama has been painted perfect and has been pushed and pushed by his loyal supporters. At the same time there has been nothing but endless Hillary bashing from sound clips and childish jokes.

Each voter will make their own choice when it comes time and no one here or anywhere else will change this.

Perhaps if the Obama supporters were a lot less forceful and bash crazed there would not be a split party. Now after so many Obama supporters shot their mouths off without thought it's time for all to jump on the Obama wagon, well it does not work quite like that.

Well no one is perfect by a long shot.

[jillan]

65. Oh puleeze! Hillary supporters don't need you to tell us what to do or how to think.

[rug]

66. You write like you've seen too many gladiator movies.

[Life Long Dem]

67. Pleeze! Hillary supporters don't need you to tell them what to do or how to think.

:hi:

[knixphan]

68. Word up, skynyrd!

Another ex-Kucinichite, loyal to the cause.

[AZBlue]

69. Any real Democrat will vote for Obama in November.

Any other action (or inaction) and they are voting for McCain and showing their true loyalities to the GOP.

[juajen]

74. Hillary supporters do not have to kiss up to anybody.

Most will be writing Hill in or refusing to vote for President. It is our right. Obama has no right to our vote whatsoever.

Flame away, I'm out of here.

[Lerkfish]

75. flame: you are not a democrat and do not belong on this board at all

if there were any justice, you'd be sitting under a granite cookie right now. (/flame)

well, you said "flame away"

Well gee, that convinces me. :eyes:

Believe it or not, some of us don't take well to bullying and don't measure our votes as "winners or "losers".

[avenger64]

78. You mean McCain?

No way - he's an angry old warmonger, who wants to increase military spending in the face of all logic, and stay in Iraq another 100 years. I will never sink that low.

I might vote for Nader, though. Or Senator Clinton if she runs third-party.
