Please stop posting the same post about polls.
Gallup poll shows Clinton beating every puke and Obama. Zogby shows Clinton doing less well. The grinding Clinton bashing and gloating is really beneath Democrats. But both Pukes and Democrats are using the same talking points about Hillary. That's a good thing? Don't forget we belong to the same party. Democrats are begging for an Independent or Green candidate through their actions. If Giuliani wins the nod, Bloomberg is in. Then who wins? Please express your Obama or puke support in an intelligent, dignified manner. The pukes are all jumping ship to avoid losing a year of very lucrative K street lobbyist positions. Is that Clinton's fault as well? If the vehement bile being expressed against Clinton is sourced to Democrats, we are once again going to snap defeat from the jaws of victory once again.

How about we try a day where everyone talks about Kucinich's ideas, or Biden's ideas?

It sure would be nice if we could select one day for a "24 hours of no polls on DU"... you know, like go cold turkey.

Can we do it?

Or will we wind up like this ---->

6. Let's start a Republican hypocrisy and criminal actions week!
I'm finding myself migrating to Boards where people actually discuss issues and are civil to other Democrats. With what the pukes have done to this country how can anyone level the same vitriol and hatred at a Democrat? It's a very well orchestrated effort that is so transparent you can purchase the Cliff notes for it.

14. Me too.
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 05:42 AM by avrdream
I spend less and less time here because of the vitriol towards Hillary Clinton. You would think she was the devil by the way some people act here. When I come to GDP and see 8 out of the top 10 threads being anti-Hillary, I just walk away with sadness. What has become of us?

Edited to fix stupid grammar errors.

The combine the most recent reliable polls and come up with an average.

19. I actually went there yesterday to see if the poll-posting frenzy
was anything but non-issue related love himhatehervoteme posts. Even their poll composites are essentially meaningless to an agenda driven press. The new Bread and Circus. Using pointed sticks in the horse race coverage of people who have the ability to change our lives, environment and future.

10. Nah......... You should see this place after we have a nominee!

Everyone comes together to support THAT person regardless of who it is.

There's no more --- >

And tons of --- >

It's hard to imagine that we'll actually get there ---- but eventually, we will come together.

You'll see!

11. I've seen it
Still doesn't make watching what's going on right now any easier to take. I could go to FR if I wanted to feel bad about being a Democrat. It's rather shocking to get that feeling here.

12. My reasons for not wanting Hillary to be our candidate
have NOTHING to do with RW talking points.

On the other hand, I've repeatedly said that I will vote for her in the general. I'll gladly vote for any of them in the general.

What we need to do is take advantage of the breather to form a strong progressive coalition to stand against the RW machine the next time around.

20. Oh, we do...
But people HERE don't seem to care about doing that. Every time I've posted something along those lines, it's been more or less ignored.
