DISQUS

Dem4life · 1 year ago

Folks we've got to swallow our pride and embrace the Hillary supporters who are now ready to join our campaign. Yes, Billary lied too many times to count. Yes, she used outrageous racist attacks against Obama. Yes, she cut behind-the-scenes deals with the GOP and encouraged Rev. Wright to speak for the Press Club. All the while her followers embraced her 'character' and 'values'. We must now welcome them into our campaign as fellow Democrats because we share the same values and principles as them, don't we?

I would LOVE to welcome them and embrace them. But it sure is hard to hold them close with that knife in my back...

What in the hell is that she-devil; trying to do???!! Sabotaging Obama isn't enough... she wants to sabotage the whole goddamned Democratic party!

As a loyal New Yorker who has supported her and donated to her in the past, I will NEVER vote for that woman again.

I hear ya. And we're supposed to embrace the very people who supported her evil, racist, and destructive campaign? I don't think so.

"The journey will be difficult. The road will be long." I like that kind of honesty.

Hillary just wasted a really great opportunity, if she truly believed what she has just been trying to say. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER? Being gracious in defeat is simply what one does, unless of course you;re Hillary Clinton. Her lack of sense of timing is just one more glaring flaw in her candidacy. I kinda feel sorry for her, sorta, like she's handicapped, congenitally morally impaired or something. But disappointment is more, I think she realy could have done something Big, but as usual did not.

Great speech. He delivered a very generous hand to Clinton. Wish I could say the same about her speech.

There was only one part that made me cringe. That was when Obama said it was time for Iraqis to take responsibility for themselves. As if they asked us to invade and bomb them to smithereens for no good reason and then rape their nation. And it's not as if they want us to stay either. It's not just Obama who has made these remarks, but Clinton and others too. It always makes me cringe no matter who says it.

But the rest of Obama's speech was wonderful and inspirational.

No, he was careful to criticize Iraq's politicians, not the people (whom he properly regards as suffering victims).

This speech was beautiful. David Bender was playing clips from RFK in 68 and Ted Kennedy in 1980 on Air America tonight and Obama's speech had the same passion of those two legends

KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago

Now imagine, if you can, George W. Bush giving this speech, with the same degree of eloquence. Can America even remember what great oratory even is after Bush?

Hillery doesn't care about the campaign, she only cares about herself and having power. This was proven twice over when she continued to attack obama despite the fact that he never posted personal attacks upon her, only on her stances on issues, where she posted attacks on him.
And even now she wont drop out because she wants to force him to take her as VP by using those voters behind her.
If she REALLY wanted everyone to work together, she would take this moment to back out graciously and let the voters chose rather then manipulating him with voters by refusing to con seed even after she had lost. The entire campaign, it has been all about her, where HE stuck to the issues. He is trying to give her an easy out by being gracious, and she is being an obvious power mongerer.
It will be a sad day should he take her as his VP and let her attempt to control the office. I pray that he will chose anyone but her, those others that really do wish the best for the country and will not make a sham of it as she just has by even now, not leaving so the party could join together under the nominee.

I'm losing hope. As an African-American liberal I thought we'd begun to see the light but I'm afraid of our choice. He's a frosh senator who up to now has given us not much substance to base an opinion, mostly great oratory and fluff. Great speakers don't necessarily make great leaders. How well will he stand up to the bullying of our foreign detractors? You know, people like Kruschev was and Chavez is. How will he do against the oriental mind set of the North Koreans?
He seems naive as to what government can and should do. just how do you expect to make oil companies invest their profits in clean energy. How do you MAKE any company/individual invest profits in anything specific? If big gov't gets involved in hiring/paying/firing teachers, isn't that better served at the local level? Should the federal level be involved at all? health care: if we get national health care, talk to the Canadians - it sucks. What about life choices that could limit the individuals qualification for care such as, " I want to smoke, not exercise, be overweight, etc" Will the gov't then need to start modulating our lives like in California where we MUST wear helmets to ride a bicycle or motorcycle, or wear seat belts? Where is Hillary when we need her the most? What the hell happened.
So - my baloon thus deflated, this educated black man with more college education than I needed (11 years) will choose to vote for McCain who at least I will trust to lead us out of Iraq (no you idiots, not in 100 years. Go read his actual words) as soon as possible, to minimize big gov't, create jobs (which Republicans have done in the past except for the profound fool now in office), At least I trust him to stand up to the tyrants of the world, and from his voting record (truly, read, folks, read!) he does understand our plight.
Sweet Jesus, Hillary, what happened?
