the anti Clinton voting block
Check out the Facebook screenshot of the group that was mentioned on 60 minutes yesterday.

This has to be one of the largest organized groups on the internets, and neatly exemplifies the maelstrom that will await H. Diane Rodham in the general.
Clinton advocates, what say you?

2. damn
I guess she won't win by acclamation.

Honestly, is it supposed to be a surprise that some people won't vote for her?

7. its kind of funny though
more people voted for that then the wexler hearings, 3X as much. and with the popularity for dick cheney i would say that this is more then just "some" people, thats a movement IMO.

Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 02:10 PM by fenriswolf
and if you don't think their is a lot of hate for hillary out their look at this board. a lot of people prefer not to vote for edwards or Obama but a lot of people hate and will not vote no matter what for hillary, simple choice of language but if that is the feeling in here guess how bad it is out their. I'm not bashing Hillary so don't start that with me please I'm just putting a point out their and would love for you to discuss rather then dismiss it.

*edit for spelling nazi's

15. thanks for an intelligent discussion
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 02:14 PM by fenriswolf
ill go hang myself for misspelling.

I was thinking i might actually be able to have a discussion with you in a different thread instead of the one where you were forcing cake down everyone's throat, I guess I was wrong.

I guess you just like to push buttons instead of exchanging ideas and opinions.

5. Whisper the word Hillary in a republican's ear
then watch their face contort in a way that looks like you just stepped on their toe or placed something smelly under their nose.

11. As an Obama supporter.. this is pretty stupid...
How many of these kids who have signed up are even legally old enough to vote? I think you only have to be 14 to have a Facebook page (I know that's the age for Myspace).

Just curious.. and frankly, many people on these sites want to just "UP" thier friend counts to appear more popular.. so they click "yes" to any friend link request they get.

There may be 1,000,000 members in November 2008 - but i'd be surprised if more then 50,000 of them even realized it.

16. Time out.
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 02:31 PM by rosesaylavee
If she is our nominee, we will need to reverse this trend asap. This is ridiculous. Bashing other dems is not allowed, right?

Posting this crap does NOT serve our goal of getting a democrat in the WH come next January.

19. :-) Energy.
Last night, driving over the ghetto bridge (in my neighborhood), I started to picture a super hero to represent me ... his name is Joule Man — and I saw all the funny little superhero clichés — the big J on his chest, the muscle poses — and of course, as a gay man, the protruding crotch. Why not explore such a fantasy when riding? Hell — that's what riding is all about.

Life is about energy. And as I stick to that idea, it's confirmed more and more. I want to absorb as much of the world's energy as possible. Because it is infinite and it is abundant.

All of the press is going crazy over the surprise win by Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. It's not a surprise — she is going to win all of this — because she commands the most energy. Elections aren't about votes. They're about energy; like everything else.

Say what you want about George Bush's wins in 2000 and 2004. But the universe found a way for the man commanding the most energy to win. Nobody was pro-Kerry or anti-Kerry; everyone was pro-Bush or anti-Bush. Like GWB, Hillary will do the same thing. People love her and people hate her — and all of it will boost her to the top.

20. It's as simple as ABC
Anyone But Clinton in 08 .. I admit to having fanciful daydreams of Edwards, Obama & Kucinich quietly meeting somewhere to
lay out a fool-proof strategy to defeat Clinton at the convention.

Personally, I get sick to my stomach everytime I imagine another 4-8 years of a continuation of the already quarter-century old
Bush/Clinton Dynasty. America needs a new start in order to regain all that has been lost during the past 25 years.

21. Maybe Obama, Edwards and Kucinich should get together
give us a reason to vote for them. I don't think that Hillary would give us another 4-8 years of shit heads policies. Your only 14 so how do you know what happened in the last 25 years? If your older than 14 then you need some serious help.

22. their are plenty of different reasons to vote for any of those candidates
and i think its very crass of you to try to identify his age by attacking his opinion. He is entitled to his opinion and it is an opinion shared by alot of people. Presidential term limits were put into the constitution for a reason, so that our president didn't become to familier with how power works and to familier with power players. we have had a duopoly in this country for the last 20 years like he has said and I do think both the clintons and the bushies are getting way to familier with the way this countries power structure works and I do believe that they are using it to their personal advantage.

Also in order to understand how this country works it takes more years then both you and I have lived through to understand how this country works. It takes studying history and weather the poster you are attacking is young and old his opinion is valid regardless of age.

Also how dare you accuss someone of being unstable or "needing help"

26. I'm not so sure ...
All of this mudslinging is coming from Hillary?

Edwards and Obama have been attacking her like there's no tomorrow for months.
They have made their campaigns about being anti-Hillary -- and that's why she will win.

Until Obama makes his candidacy about something other than not being Hillary Rodham Clinton, she has a sure path to the White House.

This is a woman to be celebrated in US politics, not bashed. She has accomplished so much in her life, despite not having a penis. I am encouraged by her candidacy and I will be inspired by her win.

If you watched the news, you'd think Obama received saint-hood. It is no mistake that the Republicans are being so nice to him. Do we want to wait until the General Election to see how this guy operates under fire? I don't.

We waited for Kerry and we saw the outcome.
