I don't hate Hillary, I pity her.

[pinebox]

Well, this sums it up perfectly but honestly from MY POV, I am beginning to actually not stand her and her dishonesty and lies. To me, Hillary exemplifies exactly why people hate politicians.

There is a LOT more at the link.

I don't hate Hillary, I pity her.

1. I don't hate or pity Hillary. I distrust her and doubt she can win in November

[pinebox]

4. She loses in a General Election

Should Hillary be the nominee, Dems will lose.
It isn't hard but I know that many refuse to accept that reality.

[tk2kewl]

22. no pity from me either

if you lie with dogs...

[stillwaiting]

2. I don't hate her. But, I don't trust her at all.

And, should she become President I won't have any hope that our country will change for the better.

Since I do trust Bernie immensely, and I do believe he would do WHAT HE CAN to change the system (and the Democratic Party), it makes this Primary deeply personal and very emotional for me. The stakes in the Primary are much, much higher for me than the stakes in the General for a number of issues that are extremely important to me.

11. I'm in the same boat

[Betty Karlson]

3. Where does the homophobic callosity figure in this thesis?

Is there a way that I, a gay man, can pity her rather than hate her?

[pinebox]

9. 100% understandable

[Buzz Clik]

10. Uh huh.

We can be whatever we want to be on the internet, Betty.

[Betty Karlson]

14. Thanks for respecting me. It means so much to me.

[Buzz Clik]

15. Back atcha.

Betty.

[Tanuki]

26. I don't have the answer to that, but maybe Bernie can help you.

After all, he seems to have made his peace with "homophobic callosity," as you put it, as long as there is an endorsement in it for him.

27. well-played, but still missing the point.

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. Cruel

[pinebox]

7. Cruel like Hillary

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. Cruel

[Buzz Clik]

6. LOL!

Oh, the melodrama when you are being handed your ass on a daily basis.

[BernieforPres2016]

8. Maybe it is a minor distinction, but I prefer the word despise to hate

And yes, I despise Hillary Clinton.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Very nice.

Are you one of those who denies the behavior of Bernie's army of goons, or do you simply accept it?

[think]

30. Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

[Buzz Clik]

31. You, too!

[zappaman]

12. ok. n/t

[PowerToThePeople]

16. I can not have pity for someone wishing to cause my family harm.

She knows she is in the wrong but does not care.

Her lack of transparency of the bank speech transcripts is proof that she is well aware of the destruction she is supporting and/or enabling.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I don't hate her, either. I think she's become so assimilated into the Borg

of establishment politics that she doesn't even see what's wrong with what she does. It's kind of like those TV ads for air freshener where they talk about being "nose blind" - you can no longer smell something stinky if you're living in the stink all the time. Taking huge sums of money from corporations for speeches isn't bribery or corruption; it's just what's done all the time. Everybody does it. Vague promises of incremental improvements is all politicians offer because they don't want to stick their necks out by working for big changes, and thereby risk offending big donors. Same, old, same old is the way the establishment works. It's as corrupt as hell; does nothing for the rest of us; stinks to high heaven, but Hillary, like the others, can't smell it because she's been living in it.

[pinebox]

21. Borg you say?

Like this?
?w=780

I agree. She seems to have assimilated into something but what is still unclear. Hillary seems to take the stance of anything at any given time but not doesn't believe in much of what she says. When most of America sees your candidate as completely dishonest, there's a problem.

The constant capitulation, from her comments on abortion, to being open to the idea of raising the SS age, to calling for migrant children to be sent home is downright scary.

Note to jury--the photo posted is simply an illustration in response to comments I was responding to.

19. I rolled way past pity in 2008 /

[Waiting For Everyman]

20. I don't hate her, and don't pity her (not even a little bit).

She disgusts me. Let me just say, when you pity someone like her you will soon enough find your neck under their boot. When that kind of person is on the ropes, it's a great idea to keep them there.

I can spot arrogant entitled bullies a mile away, and she's one. She has done some nasty stuff, and it wasn't any one-off. That image she rolls out is a hollow act.

What sums it up for me is her heart-warming little friendship with Kissinger. Birds of a feather and all that.

[closeupready]

23. Excellent summation of where we stand. I don't hate or pity her, but

I think she is absolutely the wrong nominee, for every reason posted in your snippet here. K&R

By the way, I thought Daily Kos had PROHIBITED criticism of Hillary?

[pinebox]

24. After the 15th I think

[closeupready]

25. Weird, isn't it, the arbitrariness of that date? Ongoing primaries and

he's not even hiding his shilling for Clinton? I mean, this is. de facto, what the verb "shill" denotes. Sad how some people on our side have followed her down the rabbit hole.

[arcane1]

28. I pity anyone who has to defend her.

You'll notice most of the time, they don't. They either attack the messenger or type pithy, one-word responses designed to trick you into thinking it's no big deal.

They fail every time. I pity anyone who fails every time.

[oldandhappy]

29. I distrust her.

Years ago, before she left State, I wrote to her and asked her not to run for president but to use her talents and experience to help people in so many ways. Well! She is doing as she wishes. And she is doing it exactly as she wishes. She is helping herself. No pity. Win or not she is rich and will have a good life. The rest of us, as usual, get to live with the results.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Neither hate or pity. I just think she's unfit to hold public office.

See her support for IWR, cluster bombs, torture, death penalty, etc for explanation.

[coyote]

33. kick n/t

[Ferd Berfel]

34. I dont' dispise or hate her or pity her

I do not trust her and I have no respect for her.

[asuhornets]

35. Go ahead

and admit it. You hate her guts. Sorta of like when Democrats hated GWBush for stealing the election. It's that kind of hate.

[Prism]

36. I'm tired of the Clintons. I don't care about her trophy.

And that's all this is. A trophy she wants.

Fine, but why does her crap come at the expense of my family?
