Please handle Hillary's speech with respect....

[busymom]

For those of us who have supported her for months, please refrain from flaming or making hateful comments. Many of us are willing and ready to make the switch to Obama...but we want our moment with our candidate today. I'm asking as a democrat, as a Clinton supporter and as a future Obama supporter. Please. Let us have this moment.

[Kahuna]

1. Okay. Since you put it that way.

:grouphug:

[gateley]

2. I'm sure she'll make you proud! nt

[elocs]

3. Just curious: how do you think Hillary handled Obama's historic moment Tuesday night?

Had she won it would have been equally as historic. How would the Clinton supports felt if in that case Obama had given a similar speech to the one the Hillary gave on Tuesday night?

[busymom]

4. Thank you.

[Nipper1959]

8. I supported her as well

But it truly is time to move into the general election mode. I have never lost sight of the goal, a Dem Pres. I hope that she can now be a leader of the party and make party unity her number one goal. We will know soon.

[rzemanfl]

5. She could show us some respect by not being so late. n/t

[Honu one]

11. here...here....

Respect is a two-way street.

My best to all the Hillary supporters today. We've all been there. :hug:

[JVS]

6. If she says dumb shit, we're calling her on it. Anything less would not be respecting the fact...

that she's responsible for her actions.

[Zavulon]

32. Ditto.

You're free to support someone who voted for Bush's war if you like, but if her speech shows any of the selfishness she's shown throughout her campaign, Obama supporters are likely to call her on it.

Thank you, though (OP), for yet another thread telling us how to act. I hadn't seen one in at least four minutes and was starting to go through withdrawal symptoms.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Doesn't it depend ,at least to some degree, on the content of

the speech? She is not completely powerless here. I don't think it's fair to demand support and respect for anything she might say.

[busymom]

10. Some of you have already decided

to interpret everything she says negatively.

Give her a chance to speak.

[senseandsensibility]

13. I think you're prejudging others'

reactions. And I'm sure you weren't directing that comment at me.

[H2O Man]

9. Nominated.

I am confident that her speech will have something positive for everyone. Let's focus on the positive.

[musicblind]

12. I second that busymom! K&R this is the moment for our candidate

before we move on to Barack. I will always support Hillary as a politician and want her to have great success, and today will very bitter sweet.

and while I am already, at this point, behind Obama as our next president and look forward to putting him in the White House, I would like to have a nice, peaceful goodbye for such a wonderful, upstanding, kind, and goodwilled woman. She deserves respect just like Obama does. They have both worked hard.

:hug:

[Leftist Agitator]

14. I'll afford her precisely as much respect as she deserves.

No more, no less.

[RichardRay]

15. No problem, my other thread about 'Why is she late?'

really is meant to be light-hearted. My apologies if it went down the wrong way.

[WA98296]

16. There's a lot of anxiety for many. Hoping for a really great speech for her, and all of us.

[SpookyCat]

17. I have nothing but compassion for you (collectivley)

and for her at this moment. I cannot imagine what she is feeling right now. And I know what I have felt when my choice lost.

Peace to you.

[ampad]

18. Why not log off then

Seriously, you cannot dictate what people say, think or feel. If you are that sensitive, cannot use hide thread or ignore then log off.

[busymom]

19. I feel so sad. I want to cry.

I just love her.

[SpookyCat]

29. Have that cry, honor your feelings and then lets get McCain!

Politics is rough. Please don't let it define you.

My free advice, worth every penny! <hug>

[salbi]

20. I've always been an Obama supporter, but I will give her respect today

[Hope And Change]

21. No worries busymom.I`m with you.

:hug:

[ruggerson]

22. Agreed

but you're asking far too much from some here.

[DS1]

23. It's a week, no 4 months late

as long as she gets it over with, conclusively, I'll do my best to "respect" it.

ugh

[Life Long Dem]

24. Yeah... I'll try...she's now thanking the 80 - 90 year old woman...

[WeDidIt]

25. She's knockin' it outta the park

HEll, the ball is flying three blocks away.

[crispini]

26. kick

and r

[DangerousRhythm]

27. That story about the woman in the hospice...

...was sad. :cry:

[busymom]

30. a beautiful story, you're right.

[crankychatter]

28. Dear Sen Clinton - Please handle Obama's victory with respect

nah, fuck that

I won I won I won I won I won

[gristy]

31. Will do, but a suggestion, and not made snarkily

You might want to shut down your computer for a bit...

[saracat]

33. Apparently, they are unable to. Some really don't want the Clinton votes.

[chascarrillo]

34. saracat, you've been disrupting this forum by sowing divisivness between Clinton and Obama camps.

Go away. Just go away.

[saracat]

35. Please. I was just concurring that she be respected today and that some aren't doing it.

You "go away".That is just silly.

[JoFerret]

36. Ban any one that does not

Brilliant pro democratic speech. Lays out a truly radical agenda. About bloody time.
