New Clinton supporter argument: For VP she's INEVITABLE (lol)
I am tickled. Hillary, her campaign, her supporters, and the media spent all of last year telling us how inevitable it was that she would be the nominee. We have now been shown what an embarrassing argument that was. How much of a royal failure it was. How it was that line of thinking that cost Hillary the nomination.

So, what does Hillary, her campaign, her supporters, and the media do in regards to VP: they are now saying she is the inevitable choice. LOL When does it end. I swear. It's gone past reality and is just plain silly.

I will say this, Hillary's campaign is truly awe inspiring. :rofl:

1. They're in for disappointment again
Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 09:05 PM by goddess40
at least I hope so, not that she wouldn't do a great job but her assassination snafu makes her a poor choice. Because if the worst would happen she would be accused of having a hand in it - only by mentioning it and giving birth to the idea. LET ME SAY LOUD AND CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD SUPPORT NOR BELIEVE JUST THAT IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

Edit: Besides I think she'd be much better use on the supreme court.

2. The claim that she said she was inevitable to be president is a lie, just like this is
She said on 60 Minutes--when everyone tore her up--that she would support whoever the nominee was.

She answered that question the same way that every other politician would have--show confidence and belief in what you stand for.

3. Was that the time she wouldn't even acknowledge the possibility
of not winning...even when pressed? Please, her whole campaign was based on the inevitable argument. To even imply that it wasn't is total BS.

14. Not a lie at all
She told members of the NY delegation that she would be open to the V.P. spot. The BET founder said that Hillary Clinton gave him her blessing for pushing for her to get the V.P. spot. Also, do you really think that Lanny Davis isn't acting under Bill's orders? Hillary tried to mount a silent campaign to get the V.P. spot and she overplayed her hand.

5. Nobody is pushing it more than the right-wing and their stooges.
Funny how that clue can't even be given away to some.

6. This primarily is eerily reminiscent of Groundhog Day.

11. Go ahead. Gloat. Rub it in. More salt, please!
... I hope you're enjoying yourself, because this kind of attitude is doing nothing to bring the party together. As a matter of fact, it very well may drive people who supported Hillary to stay home in the fall.

I won't be staying home, I will cast my vote for Obama so that we can have a Democrat in the White House. But if I'm holding my nose while I do it, it's won't be because of anything Obama's done. It'll be because it disgusts me to be associated with people as petty as you.

She lost. She lost. I'll say it again, she lost.

Now what we all should do is make sure that WE win. And you are not helping.

12. Perhaps you should email your candidate - just a thought

15. My former candidate emailed me, actually.
(My candidate now is our nominee, soon-to-be-Mr. President Obama.)

She said what matters now is unity. She said what is important is getting a Democrat in the White House. I hope if you can't agree with her, or me, on anything else, that you agree with that.

16. I agree with her on lots and you too
...but that last act was like a knife in the ribs to every Obama supporter and frankly, to the party

I'm just very tired, dear Democrats... very, very tired.

forgive the rancor a smidge...

for me, failure to see how having herself introduced as the next POTUS, and never once, congratulating her opponent, regardless of HOW gracious he endeavors to be... failing to see that? failing to see how injurious that is?

it's willful blindness

especially on THAT DAY...

it's just one thing too many

She had her shining moment in the sun (or should I say basement?) on the night the Democratic Party nominated the first African American candidate for POTUS in history...

Now she wants another one... how many more will there be?

BTW, I got the same email

Forcing her Congressional supporters to conduct an intervention sends a wink and a nod to all those that voted for her...

You know who top-posted this morning, the false assertion of her popular win

She's gearing you all up to claim victimhood and take the limelight all the way to the Convention

I'm not letting my guard down for a moment

not one moment
