"We Will Support Hillary. Our Decision Is Not Open For Justification or Review"

[wyldwolf]

Sign on Door in Iowa:

[TwilightGardener]

1. Yep, sounds like a Clinton thing.

[wyldwolf]

15. yep! And I agree whole heartedly. In other words...

... We know about Hillary. Every good thing. Every bad thing. We haven't made our decision blindly. We don't need anyone to "explain" to us why she isn't worthy of our vote. We don't owe anyone an explanation or a justification. Many of us were supporting the Clintons while those who would knock on these doors and try to sell us on someone one else were in grade school.

Vote for who you want to. We'll do the same.

[wyldwolf]

44. That sign should be shown to every volunteer for every campaign

for one reason

Some volunteer from another campaign pissed off those people and that is not the function of a volunteer...

Your function is to put a 1,2,3,4,5,6 next to the voter name helping your candidate to either further target this voter or to focus on another voter metaphorically speaking "down the street"

You smile, say you are a volunteer for X, ask if they are considering X, make a judgement with the code, thank them for their time and go on to the next voter.

Do not argue with them

Geez

[Honeycombe8]

59. Yep. "I don't have to explain to anyone." Sounds familiar. Let's see....

where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah...now I know...we've been hearing that for eight loooooooonnnnnnggggg years.

[Gman]

73. Your comment is a good example of why they need that sign.

[yourout]

2. Closed door and closed mind.

[Clintonista2]

4. "Closed door and closed mind" - Sounds like 99.9% of the clinton haters on DU

Is that who you were referring to?

[sniffa]

11. i'm glad people see your

awesome post. :thumbsup:

[Clintonista2]

22. Thanks sniffa. So where's your Hillary avatar?

Dearie me, I sure hope the mods didn't tell you to get rid of it! That would be a shame :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[sniffa]

34. no they didn't

but they deleted your awesome post to me. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Clintonista2]

41. I know :(

You're my idol.

[sniffa]

45. thank you

i'm flattered.

[Laurab]

43. There you go again - you inspire me!

When superb posts get neglected, you are always there to give them credit. Maybe some people don't appreciate it, but I surely do. Even though you dislike the candidate I like, too, I don't even mind a bit, and I even like your candidate, whether it's Oprah, a champagne (did I spell that right?) glass, or JE or DK - (I figure it's got to be one of those two.)

There are just so many truly thought-provoking, intelligent posts that are ignored by so many, and you are so often there, giving them the credit they deserve, proving a valuable service for many, and a lot of laughs for me, personally!


Inspiration personified - that's you!:hug:

[sniffa]

48. aww, thank you

:hug:

and it's a martini glass. and it's DK, CD, and then probably JE.

i encourage many DUers to repost their awesome posts as OP's because i truly believe they deserve to be recognized on the Greatest Page.

and honestly, i have no idea whom you support. :shrug:

[Laurab]

61. Oh, anytime, it's truly deserved.

I don't want to tell you who I (mainly) support, because I do believe we tussled over it once, and I can't bear the thought of arguing again - well, with someone I like, anyway... You wouldn't remember probably because you do argue with....well a few people, and actually I now support whoever has the best chance of beating HRC. I can live with any of the others just fine, and prefer the idea of an open and transparent administration, which I believe all of the others would provide.

Anyway, you're such a changed guy now - you are so POSITIVE, and helpful. Those posts you compliment are always so special, and almost always ignored until you get to them. We need MORE of those posts on the Greatest Page - there will never be enough for me!

:)

[sniffa]

67. well, then it's only one of two candidates

so i take it i can assume it's the other one.

and changed? i think i'm still the salty curmudgeon i've always been. :shrug:

[Laurab]

68. Well yes, you are, I think.

But I didn't "get" you before, now I think I'm on to you. Don't shrug those shoulders at me, young man - you are an instigator, and you ENJOY it, and you crack me up constantly.

Or, maybe it's the pain medicine I'm taking. I fell and have a compression fracture on a bone in my back (no, I'm not THAT old, it was a bad fall), and I'm just finding so much amusing stuff on here lately. I just changed my mind and I'm going to vote only for JE, because Hillary and Obama are going to jam the caucus phone lines - I read it on the Greatest Page!

[emilyg]

50. What happened to your "awesome" avatar from yesterday?

[Clintonista2]

51. the mods made him remove it

[sniffa]

54. no they didn't

in fact, i'll bring it back right now just for you. :thumbsup:

[sniffa]

55. i removed it

but apparently, it's a big hit, so it's back now.

[bunnies]

58. ROFLMAO!!!!!

ahhh sniffa! :toast:

[sniffa]

60. figuring that i already told the guy i removed it

fuck it. it's back. :hi:

[bunnies]

64. This is great. I needed a good laugh tonight.

Your avatar seems to say... pppffffttt!!! :hi: Sigh. My face hurts. :rofl:

[emilyg]

69. Easily amused?

[Bluebear]

6. Please. You have no idea what it's like to be in IA or NH right now.

[Sparkly]

8. Aren't there a lot of people here on DU who've made their decisions

and don't intend to change their minds, either?

[forsberg]

12. hey, you gotta make your mind up sometime right?

they started with an open mind, and finally came to a conclusion!

[bunnies]

3. Excellent. I'm going to put a sign on my door in NH too.

What a great idea! :)

[Bluebear]

23. Indeed, I'm not answering my door anymore.

I just clear the flotsam and jetsam of campaign paraphernalia out of the screen door every night. :rofl:

[bunnies]

40. lol. I know what you mean... but I LOVE chatting with the canvassers.

I keep wishing they would come to my house. Ive had great conversations with the Edwards and Obama people. And Ive had tons of literature shoved in my door too! I think that half of them dont even bother to knock... they just shove the literature in the door. Never anyone other than Obama and Edwards though... how bout you bluebear?

I remember we chatted about the literature we'd received a couple of weeks ago. Since then Ive received 16 (!!!!!) Obama mailers... still nothing from Clinton. Whats your tally up to these days? My (compressed) stack of mailers is almost 1" thick. All Edwards, Richardson, Obama... still nothing from anyone else!

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. They must be getting sick of door to door politicians.

I can't blame them. I cannot believe the responses to this thread.

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Hillary supporters obnoxiously shutting themselves up from the real world?

Doesn't surprise me at all.

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. what a load of crap you spew

today it is especially smelly.

[Joe the Revelator]

13. Sticks and stones Emerald

[Clintonista2]

16. Don't worry about Wolsh, he'll slip quietly away after Thursday

As someone who has already stated that they are planning to write in Bloomberg, it's surprising to see that he hasn't been banned yet.

[Joe the Revelator]

20. I'll be right here for the next 4 years Lirwin

It's you who I'm worried about. When Hillary concedes on Feb 5th, where are you going to be?

35. um, isn't this against DU rules to call out another member as a freeper?

unless I"m confused

[Clintonista2]

37. You get confused alot, don't you?

[Lerkfish]

72. apparently.

I look at the rules, and then I look at your posts.

:shrug:

since you continually post things against the rules, then I guess I am continually confused.

36. If voting for progressives makes me a "freeper"....

then I'll be the freepest freeper thats ever freeped.

[dogishboy]

57. Bloomberg was never a progressive

unless you think standing up for * is "the progressive thing to do"

[earthlover]

74. I think it is called Hillary World by them....I would have another name for it....

this thread is downright WIERD!

[Stephanie]

9. That sums up her whole campaign.

Just substitute "You" for "We" and you've got the message from Hillaryland.

[flvegan]

14. "justification or review"? In other words,

don't ask us why cuz we probably just don't know any better.

[jefferson_dem]

17. Is this "closed door" attitude something we should be proud of?

Yuk.

[SoxFan]

27. No, it's embarassing

When you live in a tight shell of pomposity, you miss out on a lot. Just this afternoon, I had a chance to meet some great young kids who were out canvassing for Dennis Kucinich. I had my Obama button on, so we kidded each other a bit. Anyone who spends New Year's Day slogging through a snowstorm deserves a good word, not a snide snub.

[WillyT]

39. "... a tight shell of pomposity..." - LOL !!!

THAT... was perfct!

:bounce::rofl::bounce:

[NoPasaran]

31. Honestly, I think it's a service

It tells everyone out canvassing not to waste their time knocking on that door.

And for some, it identifies whose tires to deflate on Thursday. :evilgrin:

[Lerkfish]

33. whu? tires to deflate?

what are you going on about? are you avocating vandalism? not really sure what you mean, here.

[Whisp]

52. that sign reads like stomping feet and pouty lips to me. nt

[monmouth]

19. Must be why she's no longer taking questions. It's over..lol n/t

[wyldwolf]

21. In other words

... We know about Hillary. Every good thing. Every bad thing. We haven't made our decision blindly. We don't need anyone to "explain" to us why she isn't worthy of our vote. We don't owe anyone an explanation or a justification. Many of us were supporting the Clintons while those who would knock on these doors and try to sell us on someone one else were in grade school.

Go read your blogs. Trot around on your high horse.

Vote for who you want to. We'll do the same.

[NoPasaran]

24. And in the back yard

The unmarked grave of some unidentified shmoe wearing an orange knit hat.

Just kidding.

Glad no one's knocking on my door every day!

[Mojambo]

25. There's value in those conversations even if your mind is made up

It's a shame that SOME Hillary supporters don't agree.

[Lerkfish]

26. resistance is futile

(btw, just injecting some humor. lighten up, folks)

[cascadiance]

47. Yup, we've been living with this for so many years!...

She's our "status quo" candidate... No questions asked or welcomed!



Obama avoided his first fight with a borg queen when the husband of one borg queen (Seven of Nine) left the senate race he faced in Illinois...

Guess he can't avoid this one! :)

[rug]

28. Wow, I thought that sign was limited to Jehovah's Witnesses.

[TreasonousBastard]

29. I love it! If I was in Iowa or NH, I'd...

have such a sign for whoever I was going for after 300 people knocked on my door shilling for someone.

I'd screen all phone calls, too, with the same mesage on my answering machine.

At some point your mind IS made up and the politicking becomes a supreme annoyance.

[Texas_Kat]

32. Possibly why so many said they were 'independent' in the DMR poll

All the real Democrats in Iowa won't answer their phones anymore.

[Joe the Revelator]

38. Yes, thats it!

:rofl:

[MissDeeds]

42. And what would the reaction be

if this sign was posted by an Edwards or Obama supporter?

[bunnies]

46. Hate, Disgust and Outrage.

Why do you ask? :P

[emilyg]

49. I'll put same sign on my door.

[eyesroll]

53. This just looks like a "stop bugging me already" door sign.

Fine by me. I got annoyed when my phone kept ringing last time--I'd be even more annoyed if people kept coming to my door.

[gorekerrydreamticket]

63. or possibly stuck on the door by a paid Hillary worker...n/m

[DaLittle Kitty]

62. Blind Faithful... Just What America Needs Right Now...

Does Peter Paul , Norman Hsu or Chinese Dishwasher Thousand Dollar Contributors mean anything to anybody? :think:

[Lucinda]

65. Good for them.

I'd love to be in Iowa right now, but would hate to have to deal with the BS for months.

[robbedvoter]

66. Not so different from "You aren't changing my vote for Edwards so STFU" thread on DU

That thread made it to page one too!
I would think by this time, if you live in Iowa, you better had made up your mind by now - not the same candidate I would have picked - but I don't see any problem with it.

[bluedog]

70. I'd do the Same thing!

I make up my own mind and I don't like a bunch of door knockers.....phone ringers calling everyday after I have told them Once that I know who I'm voting for.........these folks have the right idea....and it is their right .to tell others to get lost!!

[mourningdove92]

71. I love that sign!

I want one!

[DemKR]

75. wohooo!!!
