89. Yeah, that Iraq War vote, Social Security reform, dealing with Iran, tax reform, the Syrian civil war...(could go on and on)...sure are minor differences.

So many anti-Hillary threads! [View all] tavernier Feb 2015 OP

Hey, my fellow Keys friend... cwydro Feb 2015 #1

Thank you! tavernier Feb 2015 #3

Hey, you and I cwydro Feb 2015 #6

she hasnt declared. no one cares what we think. only poli junkies care. i think roguevalley Feb 2015 #44

No, you make a valid point. But I don't think Hillary ends up running once backers realize she's a flawed candidate & can't possibly win... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #86

all candidates will be flawed in some way - DrDan Feb 2015 #113

U make another valid point. Rick Scott is corrupt as they come who committed criminal fraud, so yes, Hillary certainly has a "chance" 2 win 2, just not much of 1 is all Im sayin. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #115

Democratic donors are going to donate to the Party's choice. merrily Mar 2015 #128

Isn't it obvious? n/t FSogol Feb 2015 #2

I don't think the RNC, the GOP or the donors are making decisions about a POTUS choice merrily Feb 2015 #4

Yup. Agschmid Feb 2015 #33

That only seems to be the case on DU & not America in General. William769 Feb 2015 #5

yes it's odd considering there's hardly any substantial differences between her and obama nt msongs Feb 2015 #7

Again Bobbie Jo Feb 2015 #42

because it is true. and most everything hillary did as SOS was implementing obama policy, so msongs Feb 2015 #49

It's true. cheapdate Feb 2015 #52

I still think Edwards was "allowed" to run as long as he did to syphon off progressive votes... cascadiance Feb 2015 #83

Posts on a message board have little influence bigwillq Feb 2015 #8

I think there are members of each party tavernier Feb 2015 #15

Maybe there should be a quota, only 3 negative Hillary threads allowed at a time dissentient Feb 2015 #9

3 sounds about right... catnhatnh Feb 2015 #18

I could go along with limiting the number of anti-Hillary threads, but 5 seems a more reasonable number. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #90

It's not a matter of dislike, I don't even know her.... daleanime Feb 2015 #20

I don't see why not, make a thread about whatever you want to talk about regarding Hillary dissentient Feb 2015 #25

Then why ask for limits? daleanime Feb 2015 #38

I was joking dissentient Feb 2015 #40

Humor is hard. daleanime Feb 2015 #45

Yes, but they should be limited to no more than 5 positive Hillary threads too. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #91

I would love to see a pro-Hillary thread that had substance. nm rhett o rick Feb 2015 #64

Okay, now that really made me LMFAO. Good one! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #92

I am serious. HRC supporters have only ad hominem attacks against those that don't follow rhett o rick Feb 2015 #93

You're absolutely correct in what you say, and, like most humor, it's often based in truth. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #98

A lot of them have substance. winter is coming Feb 2015 #94

"A lot of people are trying to skip the initial step of a primary and say Hillary IS the only one" brooklynite Feb 2015 #50

so you do not read threads that say DonCoquixote Feb 2015 #76

I do read them... what's your point? brooklynite Feb 2015 #81

HoHo Hehehe Caretha Feb 2015 #111

You do realize that the forum is for Hillary supporters only? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #30

As I said above, I have posted highly critical things SheilaT Feb 2015 #62

with all due respect we do not live in a box. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #67

I understand & respect ur desire 4 a "safe haven" 4 Hillary supporters-tho its then unclear why they also come here if they seek 2 avoid hearin so-called "vitriol" (aka truth). InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #97

DU or GD? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #105

"Here" meaning GD, of course. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #114

Sometimes I question why I bother but I feel that it is important to be here as a Hillary hrmjustin Feb 2015 #116

I understand that and respect Hillary supporters' desire to defend their candidate... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #118

The question is, why do you make a point of going to interest-groups and fighting with people pnwmom Feb 2015 #85

I don't make a point of going to interest groups. SheilaT Feb 2015 #99

Because we don't want to hear it. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #106

Duh. zappaman Feb 2015 #32

"Can't we just like our candidates until its time to choose one?" Beartracks Feb 2015 #66

BTW , we do listen to plenty of criticism of Hillary in GD. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #39

So? You are free to criticize her everywhere else. Why shouldn't there be one place on DU pnwmom Feb 2015 #84

It's not unusual for candidate-oriented groups to be echo chambers. winter is coming Feb 2015 #96

I'm not interested in a political movement based upon loyalty to the leader. Maedhros Feb 2015 #23

^This^ bvar22 Feb 2015 #43

Politics based on loyalty to the leader scares me. zeemike Feb 2015 #53

Yes, and politics stripped of loyal opposition is just the politics of P.U.M.A. HereSince1628 Feb 2015 #73

If the top of the party is monolithic, it's no longer a big tent. HereSince1628 Feb 2015 #109

You really think politicians make decisions based on the DU posts? nt Logical Feb 2015 #117

No. tavernier Feb 2015 #122
