Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)Best wishes to all DU Clinton supporters [View all]
Just wanted to express my support of all DUers who support the talented Senator/Secretary of State for President.
The rabid daily over the top hatred that is now being aimed at her in GD doesn't match the affection and admiration I find among Democrats I meet in the real world who, even if they don't necessarily support her for the nomination as their first choice, understand the contributions she has made on a whole range of issues including fighting for Women's Rights to Universal Health Care.
The over the top-intense-persistent antagonism against Mrs. Clinton speaks more about those that post than it does Mrs. Clinton.
For those that question how deep the regard for Mrs. Clinton is in the real world you simply have to look at the lack of any top tier candidate likely to challenge her if she decides to seek the nomination.
I have my 'retirement' cabin located in Thailand a few blocks away from the Burmese border. What she has accomplished in cementing a peaceful transition is a stunning achievement, way beyond what we had any reason to expect. If it continues it will save tens of thousands that would have been at risk in an armed conflict, which would have been at least as bloody as Syria.
For people who want to know what Secretary of State Clinton did I suggest that they contact Aung San Suu Kyi who emerged after 15 years of prison and house arrest to lead her party to win 43 out of 45 vacant seats in the last election and has announced that she is a candidate for Presidential elections in 2015. She will be able to fill in some details of the work of this great American.

The GOPers know that too. Watch for the remaining mainliners to sit the next one out

I've always loved Hillary Clinton. She's one of those I won't tolerate attacks on IRL.
