Re: The Clintons (1.00 / 3)

You "shut up and sit down" "iron my shirt" Obama supporters are really irritating.

OK, we get the idea that Clinton should just "get the heck out of the way" and allow "the coronation" of Obama.

This blog is a prime example.

Well, Obama needs Clinton if he is going to win in the Fall, and you and other Obama supporters would be wise to allow Clinton to exit as she wishes.

Another point, the Democrats will have a tough time in FL if the delegates are not seated and the votes are not counted. After all, it has been a real battleground state for the last two elections.

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 6)

I didn't tell anyone to iron my shirt.

That's the kind intellectually dishonest statement that is now the hallmark of Clinton's campaign and of her online supporters. It's precisely why so many of us are no longer civil in return.

You asked what makes me stupid (4.00 / 4)

Comments like the one you're responding too. Only because I repeatedly hit my head on my desk too hard trying to explain facts to nitwits.

"You "shut up and sit down" "iron my shirt" Obama supporters are really irritating."

Uh, you picked the wrong blog to fly by. No one here espouses these sentiments.

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 4)

Ok you're cute and off the ranch.

Obama draws crowds of 75,000 in Ore and 15,000 in Tampa Fla and you think he needs Clinton on the ticket to win?

Wouldn't the GOP have fun....just what they hope for - a black guy and their old unifier.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 2)

Did you hear his "Americas" speech today? Those Cuban-Americans in the audience sure liked it. He'll do fine in Florida, especially after he decides it's only fair to seat their delegates at the convention. And he will seat them. But Hillary's got to get out of the way first.

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 4)

Weren't those statements eventually attributed to right wing agent provacateurs?

Your comment is a drive by mud slinging with no reason to fling it at the people who comment on this site.

The traditional exit: A phone call to congratulate (4.00 / 5)

Hillary can exit however she wishes...and I'm sure she will do exactly that.

It's up to Hillary to decide whether she'll make the election easier--or harder--for Obama. To make that decision contingent on her demands of Obama sure smells like political blackmail. Nice. Glad she and her cohorts won't be the leaders of the Democratic Party.

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 3)

The "iron my shirt" guys were from a Boston radio talkshow. They do stunts. They are told to go someplace and do something stupid.

Now the real question is who told them to go to Hillary's speech and do something stupid? Who owns the radio station? My guess is that if you follow the chain of command you won't find Obama.

It was a prank. A set-up. Visiting troll, here's a Latin phrase you should learn: qui bono? Stupidity doesn't work here.

Re: The Clintons (4.00 / 3)

If Hillary Clinton is not satisfied by leaving through the door and decides she wants to make her own way out by burning the house down, then no, I don't think she should be allowed to exit on her terms. She had a chance to do so gracefully. She has not and gives no indications of doing so.

Frankly, your comment is out of line.

We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Now the real work begins.

Re: The Clintons (none / 0)

No, the "coronation" that's been spoiled is Hillary's. Or did she not say that the primary would be over by Feb. 5th?

Not that you'd let facts get in the way.

I also find curious that you imply that Obama or his supporters were responsible for that horrible display in NH.

You'd be wise to go to Taylor Marsh site if you want a suitable place for your put-upon, pity party. I am not interested.

Can't hear ya, Peach!
