Open Apology to Hillary Clinton
After finding out that Hillary Clinton will be casting her super delegate vote for Barack Obama, I publicly admonish myself and apologize for the nasty things I have said about her.

I was wrong. I admit it, and I am sorry for it.

Furthermore I offer this apology to the moderators, administrators, and members of Democratic Underground. My reaction to the fact that Hillary Clinton's name would be entered into nomination was wrong and wholly unfounded. I sincerely apologize.

24. The first response in my apology thread
really means the most to me.

Let's go get those Bush bastards.

3. Well, apparently you weren't that bad...
because all the Hillary-hating repeat offenders are now posting as 'ignore' from my viewpoint. Although I certainly won't be demanding any apologies from anyone, I just wanted to acknowledge that it takes a really decent person to admit they were wrong when they feel they've found evidence points to such.<---(?) I hope you know what I mean, anyway. :toast:

9. Nice post. K & R. And thank you. I hope that more people who've been critical of Hillary will
just look at what she's been doing to help Obama.

This party so desperately needs unity. We need to win in November.

12. Gracious of you. Recommended.
Peace,
Bob

p.s. I'm long on-record as not being a supporter of Senator Clinton, but I truly admire what she is now doing and preparing to do to ensure Obama is our next President.

28. No. If it's all about Hillary, it's not her doing.
Blame the media and those who claim to represent her... like those two assholes on Hardball last night.

44. It Wouldn't Even Be IN The News
If there weren't people purposely agitating a division by promoting the idea having her name & roll call are anything to raise an eyebrow at.

19. you and I have not always seen
eye to eye....Sometimes, but not always..:hi:

Please accept MY apologies for the sometimes - um - less than flattering thoughts I have had about some of your posts. This one has changed my opinion of you, and good thing....Now maybe my kitty won't have to run upstairs as much when I start screaming at my screen!

...and mocking what the typical PUMA response would be to the OP's apology.

23. Coolest of the cool. But remember to blame the real enemy here. The MSM
has been trying to stir up as much friction as possible, because that will help McCain. They want us to fight, and they know what tensions exist, and so they try to make us all see everything in the most suspicious, most cynical light.

Defy the media. Viva la Unity!

46. I think they do it for ratings too, though I'm not sure who they're targeting
I had to turn off Ed Schultz a few times in the past few weeks (especially when he came unglued with the Edwards stuff!)

29. Hopefully you learned a lesson.....the sad part is a lot of
very good DUers were bullied away to other sites during the primaries, and they're not coming back.

And this place is not the same without their points of view. x(

30. Thank you...people like you and me
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 07:18 AM by mtnester
are why this party is great. We allow differing opinions, are patient with each other, and in the end, have the same goal in sight. We are not afraid of different opinions, allow others to speak their minds so that we also can, and in the end, find that we agreed, albeit with a different path, on the same things. We can fight, but it is more like brothers and sisters fighting, not sworn enemies....we make up and move forward to the next adventure!

This would never have happened on a Republican board...nope, no way no how.

Now, get out there on election day and make sure everyone...EVERYONE has the ability to have their ballot cast and counted. Heck, come to Central Ohio and precinct up with me as an election protection volunteer...they will be sorely needed that day...right now all the schools in the Columbus and suburban area are starting to announce they will be closed that day, it is making me extremely nervous. That has NEVER happened before

31. Incredibly gracious post!!!
Of course, I put the entire blame for all this on the MSM just trying to do what they can to generate ratings by sowing dissension amongst our party. They'll do whatever they can to pull us apart and it's our responsibility to see that doesn't happen. Posts like yours are an excellent lesson to us all.

34. I had the same initial reaction as you and the same raction after I heard the whole story.....
It was a long, bitter primary and feelings are still touchy but we'll all be fine once the convention is done.

39. Do you not know anything about politics?
They announced in a joint memo this would be happening.

If she went back on that, she would be through in politics for all time.

It's a done deal.

47. I'm glad that you felt the need to apologize.
I don't say what I don't mean so Hillary and her supporters aren't getting an apology from me; I may think about it if something comes from their end but I won't hold my breath. I have said I will send Clinton a check to help her retire her debt. I hope her millions of supporters follow suit.

50. Curious - are superdelegate votes public or private?
Can we see after the convention who voted for whom?
I know a lot of SD's have declared before the vote, but can we see if they actually vote that way?
