The argument of endorsements in this manner doesn't really work. Hillary and O'Malley have endorsements from many very left leaning progressive with almost impeccable records. Does that give you pause? It shouldn't in my opinion. Some of the stranger endorsements are fun to talk about though.

(886 posts)They believe pragmatism is the vehicle of idealism.
Pragmatism is great, but pragmatism without idealism is no virtue.

(41,600 posts)and that's why this country is so effed up! It's people just like them who have taken us down this path of Wall St. greed, Corporations buying Congress, Corporations buying our airwaves and MSM, giving us Prisons for Profits, militarizing our police departments thanks to the Patriot Act The Hillary voted for and Passing the Biden Bankruptcy Bill that mostly hurt women and children and The Hillary voted for that too. Don't forget the the NAFTA, CAFTA, and TPP Trade policies that have completely wiped out the middle class and are trying to destroy our Unions. SIXTY THOUSAND - 60,000 - factories have disappeared from this country because of NAFTA and CAFTA. So, yeah, it's them and people just like them who came to power thanks to the Clinton's DLC/Third Way/Right of Center bullshit policies.

(99,710 posts)As a dispassionate observer it is my considered opinion that as Hillary Clinton rises in the polls the baseless attacks on her will grow exponentially.

(10,007 posts)Was she not endorsed by Rahm Emmanuel and Harold Ford?
Are they not assholes of the highest order?
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)That is baseless...
I should have stayed with my original post which read as:
I would respond to that calumny in kind but if I did an alert stalker would use it as an opportunity to take DemocratSinceBirth out by submitting it to a gamed jury.
P.S. She was also endorsed by John Conyers and John Lewis.

You're being too literal.

(18,402 posts)Because add to those two also Tom Harkin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Tammy Baldwin, Jennifer Granholm, Elijah Cummings, Howard Dean, Kamala Harris ... and more than 300 other current and former government officials, from all segments of the party across the spectrum.
Or do we want to end up like the House Republicans ... with an intractably divided party held hostage by a small group that can't accomplish anything?

(15,951 posts)Sorry, but making the argument you do doesn't make a lot of sense because it only focuses on those democrats that DU dislikes and doesn't take into account the many others who have the DU Seal of Approval who have also endorsed her.
