I know my family cried during Clinton's speech,.. Maybe your family did too

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Clinton is popular amongst LGBT Du'ers.

Hugs and kisses to all of you who are sad about her loss. :grouphug:

That was a wonderful, passionate and extremely classy speech.

I hope we can unite behind Obama for all the reasons Senator Clinton pointed out.

"So today, I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes we can."

[tekisui]

1. I was touched by her speech.

And, I am sad to see her go, and to see the Primary over. I have spent a lot of time an energy following it.

She threw her support to Obama with grace and secured her place in history as a unifier and a trailblazer.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. and as a real gracious loser. that kind of grace in defeat is remarkable.

standing there, pointing out to her supporters why they need to vote for Obama. absolutely selfless and classy.

[aquart]

2. We have no choice. This is what we're stuck with.

Now let's find some sugar and make lemonade. Because right now, the taste is way too sour.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. i think once we see him against mccain, he will start looking sweeter.

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

14. Yes, lemons are much sweeter than manure.

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. lol.

good one

[Top Cat]

7. We have no choice. This is what we're stuck

You need to get over it Hillary has moved on so should you if you are a true democratic.

[mitchtv]

11. Glad to know the arbiter of "true Democrats " is

with us today.I will support my party

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. did some die and make you the 'decider' of what a true democrat is?

:eyes:

[libnnc]

29. ahem..."democratic"

:eyes:

I see a bright future for this one here. :hide:

[Ben777]

44. As someone else stated

YOU don't get to decide for the rest of us how to be a true democrat. For some of us it is not about unquestioningly goose stepping in lockstep.

[Trajan]

10. Some stand with an embarrassing array of riches ...

and plead poverty .... There is no accounting for those who emerge from this race; a race with two outstanding candidates, and see us being 'stuck' with the winner ....

That sour taste exists within your mouth alone : I personally am QUITE pleased with Obama, as I would have been with Hillary ....

One day you may get over your disappointment .... or not ...

[readmoreoften]

23. An embarrassing array of riches and plead poverty? That's a bit much.

Considering both candidate's stance on war and the military, I hardly call this an array of riches over all and considering Obama's stand on same-sex marriage it's almost downright offensive. "Be lucky with what you got you greedy sucker, eat your crumbs."

[Trajan]

24. You have other options ....

Green Party ....

Reform Party ...

Republican Party ....

Suit yourself.

NOBODY is going out of their way to make you happy ; Maybe you have a momma ?

[readmoreoften]

26. You done gay baiting for the night? Another "get over it" thread.

Why don't you get the fuck over it. There's a way to win votes: my candidate's not going out of his way to make you happy!!! Deal or leave!!! Well, alright.

How fucked would you people be if we did leave?

[Trajan]

27. Gay baiting ?

WTF are you talking about ?

I have NO IDEA as to anyone's specific sexual identity on this thread ... not a fucking clue, nor does it matter in this case ... The issues in this election cycle are SO plentiful as to relegate specific peeves to the wayside .... We are a SOCIETY ... a WHOLE society ... and there are huge problems that need to be addressed .....

Perhaps you need some sleep ..... Sheeesh ....

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. actually sexual orientation does matter, because i poster this in the GLBT

forum for a reason.

to keep asshats away from this thread.

it was addressed to MY community, of which if you aren't a part of, you shouldnt be here flaming this thread.

[Trajan]

34. In all honesty ...

I had no idea I was in this forum ....

I must have entered from the latest threads page without noting the forum name.

Yes .... I am supposing you just identified me as an outsider: One who should never say anything contrary to anyone who IS 'part of YOUR community' ....

I will remember that .....

[Zuiderelle]

37. Once you've realized that you made a mistake, you should just apologize and leave it alone.

Instead you continue to be antagonistic. If you really care about Obama, what you should do is look around and read a bit here about why some in the GLBT community have issues with him. And instead of being antagonistic and asinine, you should attempt to understand what a big (and qualified) step it is for many of us to put our support behind him.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. remember whatever you want to dear.

:eyes:

[Ben777]

36. Thanks

for clarifying that nobody is going out of their way to make us happy. It is interesting that any candidate can afford to spurn such a large block of voters. I'm confident that each and every voter here is well aware of their options and examining them closely.
If sadly your candidate should lose or if the opposition gets the bright idea of putting a moderate Republican woman on his ticket to siphon off votes don't fail to recall your maturity and gracious manner. Hopefully, your mother will have a pacifier handy for you to suck on.

[MNBrewer]

5. Sen. Clinton is a strong, inspiring woman

Who has MUCH more ahead of her to contribute to our nation.

Hillary for Senate Majority Leader!!!!

[Saturday]

6. I cried too, yes we can. nt

[msongs]

8. obama's bible says no gay marriage so he is against it. cry ovr that nt

[MNBrewer]

9. Neither Dem candidate supports (on edit: supported) gay marriage

For reasons that are not acceptable, on either side.

[Trajan]

15. ?

Obama's bible also says :

Deuteronomy 22:10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
Deuteronomy 22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
Deuteronomy 22:12 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.

It is clear that Obama cannot afford to let farmers use both an Ox and a Donkey to plow their fields, nor could he allow wool AND linen clothing to be worn AT THE SAME TIME ! .....

And fringes ? ..... WHERE THE HELL ARE HIS FRINGES ? ....

Damn him ... Damn him all to hell ....

(pssst: Your's is one silly ass argument)

[DarkTirade]

21. Ooh, don't forget the part where he's not allowed to cut his hair or shave his beard.

Waaaait a minute... I've seen pictures of him before... either he's naturally hairless, or he does both... hmmm....

[dsc]

33. the problem is that Obama believes in that silly ass argument

He has repeatedly said he refuses to endorse marriage equality for the very reason his Bible won't let him.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. the loss of hilary is very sad for me, but to be fair to our new candidate

hrc didnt support gay marriage either

[DarkTirade]

13. I'm just glad the damn thing's over.

No more infighting and bickering and backstabbing and crap... now we just make sure we keep the republicans out of office.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. My mom didn't get to see it.

She's in Nevada doing the gambling thang. But I just talked to her and told her about it and we both broke up on the phone.

They are in Laughlan with friends .... republicans ... and one of her friend sneered "Oh Vice-President Rodham finally got her ass up to make her speech". My mom kept her peace but told me she'll probably tell her off if she keeps pushing it. Mom and my Step-Dad are just as huge fans as I am.

[JackBeck]

17. No, we didn't.

But we were thrilled that Sen. Clinton mentioned the Gay community twice in her speech. And, for some reason (I don't think it has to do with Pride) CNN was talking about us leading up to the speech.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. she has a lot of lgbt supporters. glad she acknowledged us.

[JackBeck]

19. I should share my Hillary story from 16 years ago one of these days.

[ruggerson]

35. Why don't you do it now?

[Moloch]

25. I've said many negative things about Clinton...

but her speech was a class act all the way and I was really moved by it, almost to the point of tears. You could not have asked for a more gracious speech, it rivals some of Obama's best.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. i think unless one is driven w,hatred for hillary, one could see what a gracious speech that was.

[monmouth]

28. Just tears of joy that she's almost gone from my screen....n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. real classy. nt

[Zuiderelle]

38. Piss

off

[terrya]

39. What an assholish thing to say in lioness' tribute thread.

Came in this forum just to piss on her nice thread.

Real assholish behavior.

[mitchtv]

40. Now isn't that obamanable!

[monmouth]

41. Oh please, get a grip, all of you.....n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. we have a grip, why dont you try having some class instead?

[Touchdown]

52. That's the new GLBT4Hil meme, right? "Class"?

Clinton should have had that "class" and conceded when it was mathematically impossible for her to get the nom.

Yes, the party can overcome this, but not if you keep pretending that she is something she's not.

[Ben777]

45. It will take a lot more

than comments of such a small, petty and trifling nature to keep her down. She has much to offer and she will be back. Now why don't you check yourself.

[Touchdown]

54. Pretty bossy, aren't you?

[Ben777]

72. A little

mean spirited toward others aren't you?

[Touchdown]

75. No, just non-conformist.

:D

[ronnykmarshall]

71. Ass

[Touchdown]

46. She should've done it Tuesday when Obama clinched it.

History was made when the first African American got the presidential nomination for a major political party in US history, and by her passing on her 18,000,000 voters lie and still clinging to the fantasy that he's not electable, she spoiled that momentous occasion for him and the USA.

By saying "I will not be making any decisions tonight." She basically shit on every bit of class you praised her for. Saturday was too little, too late.

I was fine with her until after Super Tuesday. The math never worked for her after that. She was not popular with me, so in your mind I must not be GLBT.

[Zuiderelle]

47. I don't understand sour grapes from the winning side. It's an oxymoron.

Maybe you should emulate Obama, and have a little class.

[Touchdown]

49. Disagreeing with the OP is not "sour grapes"

do you work for the White House? They say that every time someone doesn't fall in line with them.

I simply disagree that she had class, and I'm a bit tired of the worship of her on the GLBT forum, after all she's done to divide the party.

And yes. I have moved on. Obviously some people haven't and need to pour more syrup on a candidate that was done in February.

[Zuiderelle]

56. You are the one that kicked this thread that has not been posted to in NINE DAYS.

And now you claim that we're pouring syrup on her, as if we haven't moved on? :rofl: YOU KICKED THIS THREAD.

Pretty funny.

[Touchdown]

57. I was on vacation last week, and just saw this today.

Laying on the beach, eating shrimp, and having sex. Who has time to see this thread then?

So what did I see? GLBT is still the Hillary Love-In it was before she gave this speech. It's also still the Obama bashing forum it was before I left as well.

I just couldn't let you marry her any longer, so I stuck my nose in. Still funny?

[Zuiderelle]

59. But don't you see how ridiculous it is to say that we are still talking about it, when we aren't?

Yes, it's still funny. And a bit odd. I don't see any Obama bashing, so what are you yammering about?

[Touchdown]

61. Then you are blind and someone else is typing for you.

It's right there on the top.

[Touchdown]

63. Not funny, but sad that you are (or were) still so clingy to her.

You knew she was done two months ago.

[Zuiderelle]

64. What the hell are you talking about? I'm not clingy to her at all.

I wondered how this thread came alive again, then I saw your nasty comments. Why are you so clingy to her?

[Touchdown]

66. Nasty comments? The final primary Tuesday she was introduced

... by lying shill on meth Terry McAluffe as "The next president of the United States." and she spoke about her being better than Obama on all the issues as well as electability, the very night history was made and stole Obama's time to shine right out from under him. "I will not be making any decisions Tonight." is bitter, and to borrow your words, NASTY in the context of that historical moment. Whatever she did after that abortion of a speech where her supporters screamed "Denver, Denver, Denver!" means nothing.

So when I read this thread with all the syrupy language of her being an inspirational leader, class act, lovely woman, a laughably "gracious loser", and where she led people to well up in tears over a speech she should have delivered 4 days earlier is truly vomit inducing to someone who sees her in an entirely rational light.

I'm sorry to you that I couldn't help myself and tell the truth, and not let you have your fantasy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. no she shouldnt have. as a woman i was happy to see her get as far as she did

you guys won. quit whining.

[Touchdown]

50. No whining. Just truth telling.

She was not gracious. She had no class. And she was done in february, but refused to accept the facts.

And... you won too!

EDIT: One more thing. Stop with the "She was popular with GLBT DUers". She was popular with SOME GLBT DUers, not all. QUIT SPEAKING FOR EVERYONE ELSE.

As soon as the Obama bashing threads (3 right now) are gone, then I'll shut up about the race baiting dynastic aristocrat whose trying to blackmail herself into the VP slot.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

51. i didnt win with obama and i think its sad you think so.

[Touchdown]

53. You won as an American.

... because you won't have a dynasty family member once again in charge of a country that was founded on rejecting dynastic rule. My main reason why I was not for her. 150 million women in the country, and we have to have someone who's already been there.

[Zuiderelle]

55. What Obama bashing threads?

I only see valid critiques. It's against the rules anyway to "bash" our candidate, so you're clearly exaggerating.

[Touchdown]

58. One man's valid critiques, yada, yada.

You're not stupid.:eyes:

We know all about his stance on marriage and have talked about it since October. Dead horse beating on our ONLY candidate isn't what I call "valid critiques" any longer.

[Zuiderelle]

60. If you don't want the dead horse beaten, then don't kick a dead thread.

[Touchdown]

62. You are off your rocker.

I was talking about the Obama hates gay marriage thread you "can't see", not this one.

[Zuiderelle]

65. That's some creative paraphrasing. No one said he hates gay marriage.

Seriously though, I'm done talking to brick walls. Seeya.

[Touchdown]

67. Obviously.

I'm not part of the hypersensitive Hillary-fan-club-GLBT-forum clique, so I don't matter. Fine. Have a good one yourself.

[Touchdown]

68. "quit whining" sounds like "get over it"

Words that you rail against every time you see it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

69. we never win anything for me to say that in reverse.

[NewYorker83]

70. I feel the say way...

The day she made her speech I recieved numerous phone calls basically asking me, "Please tell she's not dropping outta the race?" It was a very sad day and I find I'm having a hard rallying my fellow local NY'ers around Obama... Hopefully it's just disappointment that the home team lost and the ill feelings will fade before November.

[David Zephyr]

73. My daughter cried and called me and told her gay dad...

"If Barack Obama doesn't pick Hillary, then he's a fool!"

She told me that she, like you, waited and watched Hillary that Saturday. She told me "Dad, I was sobbing like a baby."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

74. personally, i dont think obama should pick HRC, i think they are a bad match

i was very very sad to see her failure, and her speech was extremely gracious but he should pick someone else.

thats ofcourse just my opinion
