Fucking Hillbot on Thom Hartmann show trying to push "write in" campaign

Thom's response: "Sure, if you want three more Republicans on the Supreme Court".

Still she kept on whining. These Hillbots are SICK.

She just kept going on with the tired old talking points about "since Hillary didn't win, they are disrespecting women".

The disconnect from reality is amazing.

I really feel sorry for unmedicated crazy people, who get on TV

Only stoopider.

Sounded like she was looking way down her nose while she talked.

She would have sounded snotty ordering pizza.

:eyes:

"What you see, is what you get. . ."

...I guess some people are worried that a vote for Clinton is a vote Obama does not get...meaning a de facto vote for McCain. By the way, I personally find referring to Senator Obama as "BO" to be a little childish, don't you think?

the reader that is childish.

They are on H44 grooming Hillary supporters to vote McCain. They tell them that if they write in Hillary, their votes would be counted for Obama by the DNC's "dirty tricks."

Do you feel that a write-in campaign would be beneficial to our Democracy?

Do you feel that a write-in vote for Hillary in the GE is more important than securing our democracy for the future and the rights of all of us?

I will cheer when that day comes.

That will be one week from today, or the day when Skinner's "7 day grace period" after we have a nominee has ended. At that point, there will be no more Hillbots on this board, so there will be no need for the term. :)

Thom said he wasn't using fear, he was using facts.

John McCain opposes the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

Look it up.

It wouldn't surprise me should his position change overnight.

Not to mention the fact that repealing Roe would fall to the Supreme Court, and who knows what kind of insane right-wing whacko's that he might put on the court.

So I take it you are planning to vote for McCain, since your Democratic candidate of choice lost?

Have you?

Answer that question. It's very simple and we all pretty much know the answer.

Also, look outside of just one issue. Your vote for McCain, your temper-tantrum, will be a clear endorsement of all of the other things that McCain stands for that real Democrats and the majority of this country despise.

In no uncertain terms - there will be blood on your hands should you do so.

"In no uncertain terms - there will be blood on your hands should you do so."

Oh the drama....blood on your hands.

Yawn....

Want to vote for 4-8 more years of unfettered, unchecked war?

You can't predict the future.

Oh the blood, Oh the blood....drama at it's worst.

Beat the fear drum as loud as you want, it's not working

I'm a midwife by training. I'm used to it.

They are gonna have to do better than this.....

...argument next. They are so predictable.

:popcorn:

Freeperville is that way, not sure how you got lost on you way over there.

...and you?

In this country... last time I looked.... what went on in the voting booth was private.

Did that change under the Bushies? Do we now have to report to our party members or something?

It's ok, Operation Chaos has been ended.

But sharpen your pencils so you can get to your Hillary write-in protest votes!

I'm a midwife. I'm used to it.

Next threat....?????

Overturning Roe v. Wade

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.

He has to and he will. Expecting anything less makes you a patsy and the "I told you so" will be extremely unfulfilling for us.

they will make specific demands and those demands will be met. They don't make screw ups like Souter anymore or even half-screw ups like Kennedy.

Have you read The Nine?

McCain needs support from a particular base- the same base that got Roberts and Alito and would have accepted nothing less.

She just threw them away. I'm not sure if that's legal, but I suspect that's what often happens with write-ins.

Guess they dont really care about her that much after all.

It'll be just as effective, and you'll at least get off.



Goddamit people.

:eyes:

There are a lot of people who are upset and feel that they are being pushed out of the way. I've listened to a number of women calling in to Thom Hartmann today. Most sound older, and they sound fed up. No one is listening to them. I personally don't think that the threats to write in, or not vote, are sincere, but I find the lack of sympathy (not by Hartmann) to how visibly upset these women are is really bothersome. I think for a lot of these women, they feel Hillary was their last, best chance to see a woman president in their lifetime - in many cases, women who have probably spent decades working for the Democratic party. It's sort of this, "thanks, now bye, see you later" mentality that is poisoning the climate.

It happens exactly like that every 4 years. Actually it was much worse in 2004, because there was a definite pressure to force Kerry as the nominee in February, and Howard Dean was outright ROBBED.

But Dean's supporters voted for the nominee in November. I don't know a single one who didn't.

I don't know a single Bill Bradley supporter who didn't vote for Al Gore in 2000, or a Tsongas supporter who didn't vote for Bill Clinton in 1992.

I don't know why Hillary supporters should consider themselves any different than any of the above.

I don't know anyone personally who will. But this race is a statistical TIE. It's not the same as other years, where the margin of victory was much bigger.

I still see an astounding lack of sympathy for women who have been in the party for years and feel that they have been pushed aside. These are women like my mother, who have been giving the Democrats their all for 40 years plus and feel like they're being given the boot.

The analogy I've heard used to the workplace, where an older woman is passed over for a promotion by some new, younger employee hits home to these women. They are being kicked to the curb, and they know it. It's very unfortunate.

How many of those women in the workplace were the wife of the former CEO, trying to get his job?

I'd bet not many of them, if any.

I'm in favor of equal pay for equal work, and equal opportunity for advancement, but the analogy really doesn't work here. If the woman in that analogous situation was claiming her CEO husband's experience as her own, she would probably be less successful in her attempt than Hillary was in hers.

Hillary has done a lot more than just be Bill's wife.

Dem Women's Club meets next Tuesday and I dread it. There are 3 older women (70's and 1 early 80's) who are going to be crushed as they felt like this was their chance to see a woman elected to the Presidency. Yeah, I get it.

I also understand that we've been through broken hearts before when our local preferred candidates lost a primary, and I can't imagine that these women would ever consider pulling this spiteful stunt of write-ins, sitting it out, and I believe they'd cut their hands off before they'd vote for McSame. I will try to console my friends, but when women are threatening to help put McSame into office, it pisses other Democrats off, and thus the hostile reaction.

it's not just a question of getting your heart broken one more time. It's a fact that maybe it's the last chance for some of them.

they were pinning all their hopes on was Hillary Clinton. Not the best candidate. Didn't run a good campaign. Couldn't beat Obama. It's a competition. That's the way things go sometimes. :shrug:

Even if I don't see a woman president in my lifetime (but I probably will) I know it WILL happen. And I can still be happy to see the first African-American president. We're getting a first regardless of which way it goes.

This is what happens on the internet during primaries

I've heard, they have been making nonsensical statements about why they won't vote for Obama..

of losers. And we ALL lose if they follow thru with their write-in campaign. Hillary has set back the women's movement a hundred years. How can ANY Democrat vote for someone who voted for the IWR?

Nice flamebait, BTW. Is that Hickory or Mesquite?

you don't care if we get John McBush and another war in Iran to add to our neverending war in Iraq? You really don't give a shit that McBush is going to do away with employer-provided health insurance and cause the number of uninsured to quadruple (conservative estimate)? McCain not only wants to have Roe overturned, he wants to ban abortions for rape victims, incest victims and women who might die without one. Is your loyalty to Hillary worth the lives a vote that enables McCain will cost?

Better find out.

Just kidding, but just about as childish.

It sounded like they were reading off a script, and doing a mighty poor job of it. They are all voting for McCain. :rolleyes:

I know where I am, you don't have the option of writing in anyone. You can just not vote in that race. But writing someone in is not an option.
