Question For My Fellow Clinton Supporters
You know I have supported the Clinton's since the beginning and I am especially interested in hearing from those like myself.

Do you fell like I do that labeling yourself a Clinton supporter, is like giving cart blanche to people to call you any and every derogatory name they can think of, and you are expected to just take it?

I would be curious to hear your tales as well.

As the "progressives/DINOS are slowly taking over our party I see it getting worse and worse. I feel like they want change and think by name calling, rage and whining they will get what they want just like they did from mommy. The seem to have no clue what truly awaits a person who serves in Government.

The great black hope will walk headlong into a wall and will either throw his supporters under the bus or get nothing done. Sometimes I think the destruction of our party is their true objective. And before you flame me I will remind you that I am blacker than and have more "street cred" than that empty suit could ever have or be.

3. "The great black hope" ? If you are talking nonsense like this you are going to get a lot
of grief. Obama entered the campaign with modest Black support and the question was whether he was black enough. Clinton tried to discredit his win in South Carolina as being a race based win and has continued to alienate 90% of the black population.

Its turned out to be a "if I alieanate 90% of the Black population then Obama must be running on race" shtick.

pathetic

21. That's his intention
Now he can go down to the Hillgeon, or the other site and talk about how mean all the Obamites are.

It always amazes me how easily some can nail themselves to the cross.

29. It's mindboggling how quickly they go for the victim label and then wonder why they aren't inspiring
more supporters.

4. Hard to believe you live in the same reality.
There is so much wrong and mislabeled in your post that it is not worth the time to correct other than say do some research.

With all due respect, your an asshole. I wonder if Hillary supporters will denounce the OP's use of the term "The great black hope."

10. I hear you, but I just keep a sense of humor in the
battle. I keep reminding myself that many have said their teenage children (Caroline K. etc) got them interested in supporting Obama. Why any adult would admit they take advice from their teenager is strange to me to begin with. That's who I think runs loose on this board, youthful Obama supporters. I find many just like to rant. I laugh at their antics to diss Hillary and me and anyone else they see as the enemy. Occasionally they're even witty and they make me laugh. LOL

18. Let's see, do I have this right?
You consider "progressives/DINOS" to be one and the same.
DU is a forum for "progressives" according to Skinner & Company.

So: What the fuck are you doing here?

22. It's irrelevant to me what people may say.
As for the left wing of the party or "progressives" as they now want to be called, they forget that they don't win presidential elections. The few times that they have, they haven't governed effectively (Carter comes to mind). The main reason why Clinton won and was reelected is that the majority of people saw him as a centrist. The average American folk will not vote for candidates who they perceive to be either too left ot too much to the right of the political spectrum.

26. You are in some funky parallel universe or something!
PROGRESSIVES are the ones trying to preserve the liberal values the Democratic party has stood for. The DLC has been turning it into GOP-Lite.

If any faction are DINOs, it is CERTAINLY the DLC!

33. I wan't going to comment but the "great black hope" thing angered me.
I would like to say one thing: Hillary is no longer the "progressive candidate." Most of her support now comes from Moderates.
