I don't *hate* Hillary, I'm just disappointed

[CreekDog]

I'm disappointed everytime she says something that leaves the Democrats weaker in the fall for having said it.

there is a way to campaign without doing that, and yes, it is harder to win a primary, but the thing about a primary is that certain ways of winning it make it almost impossible to parlay a primary win into a general election win.

which is why i'm just disappointed in her, not hating her and i think i speak for the average Obama supporter.

i can't politically hate someone who shares my core beliefs on civil rights, etc. that's reserved for Republicans. but i've always recoiled at Democrats who harmed the party brand name in trying to get themselves elected.

that's my issue and no, it's not hate. i advise Obama supporters to check in here and show that they don't hate Hillary or her supporters (well, the *Democrats* that actually are supporting her as a way to win rather than simply to undermine Obama). that said, i can be frustrated, disappointed, incredulous at things she says.

1. There is a lack of generosity, a lack of civility, in her conduct of her campaign

In a word, she is unpresidential. I will continue to defend her against Republican smears. She is a fighter and she fights on our side far more often than not. But she's missing the skill sets needed to unify the country. I admire her, but it's time to make her exit.

2. I agree at least on the comment she made yesterday.

I am disappointed.

But I certainly don't hate her.

3. Ditto

Sadly, there has been nothing but disappointment for me in the Clinton campaign this year. But hate, no.

4. Not hatred - just disgust.

5. Not hate... Disgust and disappointment mostly

I just want to win in November and her campaign isn't helping with that.

6. I don't waste energy hating...

but I don't believe in excusing and forgiving when it isn't deserved. I'm relieved that Hill and her brand of thuggish politics has been exposed, but I don't get a thrill out of whipping up on her.

Hillary is flawed, twisted up, a person with a lot to offer who has thrown a lot away. I pity her.

To her sincere supporters I say, dust her off and move on when you can. Support other women candidates.
Bet on a better horse next time. There's no shame in having supported her. But anyone who can apologize for her campaign at this point is clinging to an illusion that has now been shattered by Hillary herself. The way she has run her campaign, she isn't presidential material. After Bu$hco, we have a clearer picture of what kind of president we do need. The alarm bells should be going off even for her most ardent admirers.

Lift the veil and see. The truth is hard but it's always better to know the truth.

7. I don't hate Hillary.

She showed remarkable grace and dignity during MonicaGate.

But I am disappointed in her campaign tactics.

Yeah, I get the " can't stand the heat-get out of the kitchen" thing.
This goes beyond that.

Many of her remarks and actions have been regrettable, to say the least.

:(

8. Extremely Disappointed. I knew she was Bad, but not THIS bad

9. I agree. I don't hate her either. I hope she quits soon, more because of the

damage she is doing to herself than for any other reason.

I never supported her candidacy, but I would have voted for her had she been the nominee.
I just don't see that happening now and she and Bill have started saying things that are just
hard to justify - I found the whole Zimbabwe comparison bizarre. And now this...

Yikes.
