Hillary is not "Republican Lite"

She is not a criminal, she didn't kill Foster, she didn't run coke, she didn't launder money, she didn't gleefully defend a child rapist, she didn't serve on Wal-Mart's board to tear down women, she didn't Benghazi, she didn't do any of these things. They are all lies. Think I listen to someone when they bring up Monica? RW lies.

I don't give a flipping damn if she was a Goldwater girl when she was in high school, or even if she was a Republican when she first started college -- in my first GE election, I fucking voted for Reagan, because I was politically uneducated.

She has served for decades lending a hand to women, children, LGBT.

Anyone who attacks Hillary with lies and RW smears, anyone who calls her a Republican Lite, anyone who thinks she is anything like Trump, OR EVEN WORSE THAN TRUMP (which I have read on DU), is no friend of liberals or right-thinking people.

We have a literal Fascist who will be the GOP nom. Who could control Congress and appoint SCOTUS justices. THINK ABOUT THAT.

I was a huge Hillary fan who was devastated when I knew she wouldn't win the nom in 2008, but i was an adult and got over it, and supported Obama trough two terms, even when i wanted to scream at him (rick warren, before he was even sworn in...). i hated PUMAs then, and i hate them now.

You can be right, or you can do right.

If you're lucky, they are the same thing, but if you aren't lucky, you do the right thing anyway.

I am an atheist but nonetheless, Amen!! Perfectly said!

I also backed her ~ voted for HRC from overseas in 2008!! but also -when he became the nominee-yeah! I turned around all the way full steam for Obama. Cried happily from the other side of the world when he became President.. Believe me even people in other parts of the world congratulated me and felt great themselves for Obama for the USA and even for themselves after 8 awful years of Bush stink! This world is becoming smaller. Our victories here resonate deeply all over the world!!!

will never make the Home Page poorly representing "Democratic Underground" when so many of us are buried in Republicanism across the country.

There are way too many real problems and issues than to headline nauseating rightwing propaganda!

I was a huge Hillary fan who was devastated when I knew she wouldn't win the nom in 2008, but i was an adult and got over it, and supported Obama trough two terms, even when i wanted to scream at him (rick warren, before he was even sworn in...). i hated PUMAs then, and i hate them now.

You can be right, or you can do right.

I especially like this part!
