Fear and intimidation. That's the only reason Clinton is allowed to continue

Fear and intimidation. That's how bullies operate. I'm dealing with one at my office right now. A middle aged man with the temperament of a two year old. He's intimidated many good people who have left the company because they were fearful of retaliation that would result from confronting him.

Well I did, I confronted the bastard and it was the figurative punch in the nose. Funny thing, when I walk the hall now I get a lot more smiles from people.

Hillary Clinton is a bully. She hides behind her gender when its convenient. How could anyone punch a woman in the nose. Well, unless someone does it, and soon, all our noses will be bleeding.

Someone, anyone, please stop this insane, psychotic, self serving politician. ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. Sure, we'll lose some votes, but more than the votes we will gain. The masses may appear stupid but we really are not. The public knows what she is. Will no one have the fortitude to confront this bully?

1. Bullies are notoriously chickenshit
Godd for you for standing up to the one in your office. Bullies will almost always back down when faced with the prospect of a tough fight.

3. What do you mean, "allowed to continue"?
This is a free country. It's rhetoric like this ("will no one tell her to stop?" "Hillary must leave the party now!") that is our real enemy.

6. Rigging elections to suit yourself isn't considered democratic
working against the interests of your party isn't considered to be a useful tactic is you actually want your party to win.

Since she has started this divisiveness, her negatives have risen 3%. She now has a 53% negative rating among all voters. Do you honestly think she can win the nomination and the election when so many people already oppose her?

one fourth of her voters in the primary in recent states would vote for a republican over a democrat anyway. So her claims of being the "popular vote" favorite are specious when a large voting bloc in the primary wants her as the democratic candidate so that they can run against her instead of Obama.

Obama pulls in highly-educated independent voters as well as democrats.

Her campaign is no longer grounded in any reality of winning. She is merely acting as a spoiler at this point and the party as a whole needs to do what is good for the party for ALL candidates to win in November. She is a hinderance to democratic party strength at this point.

4. Exactly!
That's the message she was sending out to the other undeclared supers with her campaign's Judas comment about Bill Richardson. Very low class indeed.
