So I'm curious. How many of you went to http://hillaryclinton.com last night...

[Haole Girl]

..like she asked us to?

If so, what did you say? (please keep it clean)

:shrug:

[Window]

1. I did. Please stop.

[Mudoria]

2. Asked to her keep fighting and donated as well.

[papau]

12. I did the same.

[Rageneau]

54. Me too.

[busymom]

3. I did. I congratulated her on...

a close race, told her how much I have admired her through the years and told her how much I would love to see an Obama/Clinton ticket.

[Barack_America]

6. Very classy.

:thumbsup:

[cliffordu]

4. I went. I said it would disgrace her if she were to drag this out

any further. I asked her to accept defeat and step aside.

[eleny]

5. I did

"It's time to gracefully concede and congratulate Obama for winning the nomination of our Party."

[Bensthename]

7. Told her great run, now let Obama do what needs to be done to defeat McCain.

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. Made a contribution ... said thank you and keep up for those who can't n/t

[Fredda Weinberg]

25. My candidate survived this campaign. That's already an improvement n/t

[high density]

9. I wanted to

But I did not accept the premise of "Stand with Hillary today and send her your message of support."

[Haole Girl]

13. At the bottom of the homepage, just click on "Contact Us"

Then you can add a comment. :hi:

[high density]

14. OK, that form looks better

thanks. :)

[Haole Girl]

26. You're welcome

:hi:

[TexanDem]

10. I did and I suggested that she should acknowledge Obama's win and move on >>

I suggested that she pursue health care and that hopefully she would gain a position where she would have much more leverage to get that passed. I also said that her not congratulating Obama embarrassed me for her.

[Tatiana]

11. I did.

I told Hillary that I supported her first campaign for Senate enthusiastically, but that enthusiasm has turned to dismay, disappointment, and disgust given the current conduct of the Hillary for President campaign.

There was other stuff, but my basic point was for her to concede.

[Seabiscuit]

15. I did. And I sent her a message asking her to go all the way.

Then I made a contribution.

[Haole Girl]

17. Interesting...since your avie is John Edwards & he supports Obama. nt

[LeFleur1]

21. I Told Her I Was Proud of Her

I thanked her for all she has done for the country, including for civil rights. I told her her courage and bravery at stepping up and taking the hits in this sexist world is a model for our granddaughters.
I told her not to take the VP position on the Democratic ticket because she'd be more valuable in a different government position, or in civilian life working for the causes she has so strongly supported for so long.

[Haole Girl]

23. You might be right about where she'd be more valuable...

..or useful...that is food for thought there... thank you! :hi:

[Seabiscuit]

31. I've been very tempted to change my avatar ever since he sucked up.

I've kept it just to make it clear I voted for him in the CA primary even though he'd just dropped out. I voted to protest the party machinery that forced his hand.

Just as I'll vote for Al Gore or RFK, Jr. next November in protest of the way the party machinery has joined forces with the Repuke MSM to trash Hillary and try to force her out (in the event Obama represents us in November). To be perfectly clear, I would do the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot: if the party bosses and MSM had trashed Obama and tried to force him out instead of her.

[Haole Girl]

38. John Edwards was my first choice too

:hug:

[dionysus]

19. rofl

[cbc5g]

18. you mean who helped pay off her debt right?

[Haole Girl]

22. I really hope a lot of Obama supporters told her to concede...

..and to help unite the Democratic party-- quickly. That's what I'm hoping.

[Lucky 13]

20. I went this morning.

I wrote a couple of paragraphs. I can't remember all that I said. I kept it respectful, but the message was for her to CONCEDE. NOW. Stop holding your supporters hostage in an attempt to secure the VP slot.

It's over. Concede.

[Fresh_Start]

24. not me

its over
its been over for a couple of months
I'm NP and I knew it so I'd have to believe they knew it

[Haole Girl]

37. Question:

What is NP? (sorry to be so stupid)

[Fresh_Start]

42. I voted yesterday

I'm NP (non-partisan) sometimes called DTS (decline to state) which means that I'm not associated with any political party

[Haole Girl]

47. Should have guessed that...

Thanks! :hi:

[Fresh_Start]

48. your welcom

while I refuse to become a party member, I have worked and donated to democratic candidates exclusively
I just believe our political party system is a disaster and should not be supported or embraced.

[Haole Girl]

50. It is becoming a disaster... I agree.

Even though am a dyed-in-the wool Democrat, I am growing very weary of the two party finger pointing.

[Fresh_Start]

yes, the problem is the two party system in particular

though a weak third party wouldn't accomplish a thing either.

We need a Labour party because at this point the Democrats and the Republicans both represent corporate interests over workers interests.

[Haole Girl]

53. You know....

you are very right. It is time for a Labor Party in the U.S. Past time! :hi:

[Fresh_Start]

55. did you go to Clinton's website to advise her?

and 'keep it clean'....if you did what did you say?

[Haole Girl]

57. I did not....

my home computer wouldn't allow it. I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world, and my husband wouldn't help me figure out why I was blocked from it! lol

Oh, and, I decided it wasn't in my best interest to send her a comment from my work computer. :hi:

[Willo]

27. I congratulated her on her run, asked her to concede and support Obama. nt

[Fran Kubelik]

32. me too

[RamboLiberal]

28. I did - I very civally told her You Lost

Time to move on. Time to support Obama.

[Tom Rinaldo]

29. I told her to back Obama as our nominee. n/t

[Seabiscuit]

33. If she doesn't win at the Convention, I'd like to see her as a Supreme Court Justice.

[SoonerPride]

36. She is unqualified for that job. She's never even been a judge.

She should work to get universal healthcare and finish the job she started in the 1990s, but get it done this time.

She is not qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice though.

[Haole Girl]

40. HRC was a top notch atty. I'm sure she would be qualified. nt

[SoonerPride]

46. um, no. I want sitting judges who understand how the courts work.

She is terribbly unsuited to that position.

Any legal scholar would laugh in your face if you suggested her for that position.

[Midlodemocrat]

43. She's far more qualified than Roberts.

And look where he is.

[SoonerPride]

45. More qualified? um, no.

I vehemntly opposed his nomination, but

Before joining the Supreme Court on September 29, 2005, Roberts was a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for three years.

Previously, he spent 14 years in private law practice and held positions in Republican administrations in the U.S. Department of Justice and Office of the White House Counsel.


Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be a Supreme Court justice. Just like Harriett Myers, that nomination would be a pathetic attempt at politcisizing the high court. There are plenty of well-qualified liberal justices.

Hillary Clinton is not one of them.

[SoonerPride]

34. I did. I typed "time for you to exit stage left"

I swear to God I did just that.

[Haole Girl]

35. Wow mods!!! I'm impressed....I didn't even read that b4 it was deleted!!

:hi:

[Triana]

39. I did....

Hillary, you've run a great race but IT'S OVER. You are DAMAGING the party and our chances in November by continuing on in this race. It is PAST time for you to CONCEDE for the good of your COUNTRY and your PARTY and for WOMEN (you are making a shameful example of a strong woman by NOT knowing when to quit after you've LOST I'm sorry to say).

AFTER YOU CONCEDE please get some treatment. I honestly believe you have some issues to contend with. Your narcissism is unfortunately palpable and it is damaging YOUR career, and YOUR country, YOUR gender and YOUR party. When a mental health problem begins destroying your LIFE is time to get HELP.

Regards,

_ _ _ _ _

[Haole Girl]

44. Wow... that is pretty harsh.

Some things you might consider, if you've never worked a lot of hours with a campaign…and I mean A LOT of hours. It can put a person in a perpetual state of exhaustion…and truly "out of their element." This is the main reason I made allowances, in the beginning, for HRC's mistakes. I wouldn't go as far as diagnosing her….though she is the most stubborn candidate I ever remember (in my lifetime, anyway!).

[Citizen_Penn]

41. I've already been to her self aggrandizing web site

Why visit NPD town again?

She's a fool.

[quakerboy]

49. I did

I asked her, very politely, to consider the needs of the nation over her own, and to fully support the nominee of the democratic party now, on the premise that I do not believe the country can stand 4 more years.

[Haole Girl]

51. That sounds very civil.... and good!

And true!!!

[quakerboy]

60. I attempt civil

I think its almost universally better. I fail occasionally, but I really try. It often helps people hear better, and it costs me nothing to do.

[mountainvue]

52. I did. I told her not to quit. n/t

[SoonerPride]

56. Why?

She has lost.

Any further party infighting only hels McSame.

There is no path for the nomination for her now.

Many of her own super delegates have abandoned her.

It is over.

[Lucinda]

58. Me too. n/t

[Bensthename]

59. Quit what? It is over..

:shrug:

[PatGund]

61. What I said

Dear Sen. Clinton -

You ran a ground-breaking race. You sent your message out loud and clear. You are to be commended for your actions.

It is time for you to show leadership that you are capable of. For yourself, for your supporters, and for your nation.

It is time for you to rally your support and your followers behind the person that the majority of Democrats in the United States have supported as their choice for President of the United States of America.

It is time to lead by example Sen. Clinton.

Time to end your campaign and throw your support and your followers support behind the next President of the United States, Barack Obama.

It was a hard fought race in a historical year Sen. Clinton. Now, do the right thing for yourself, your supporters, and your country.

[HeraldSquare212]

62. Told her I thought she should quit already.

[mamalone]

63. I did...

Weird thing tho... the comment form started with a statement saying "Tell Hillary that you stand with her..." or some such thing:silly: so my comment came with that as it's preface. I am wondering if she had that up there so that she could say that all of the people who left comments for her last night were "standing with her" in spite of what the content of their actual comment was.

Speaking of comments, mine went a little bit like this...
I told her that i once respected her, but was gravely concerned with her behavior this primary season. I also told her that we all needed to put our own desires and ambitions behind us and focus on beating the repubs in Nov... said that i believed that Obama was the candidate best equipped to do that. Asked her "for the love of God and country" to do the right thing, drop out and throw her support wholeheartedly behind our nominee.
