Do You Think "Hillary the Hated" Is a GIFT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

I've heard that this is how most Republicans feel.
Any thoughts?

She is my Hero! So, just think if you can, that she will be our next President . In less than 30 days, she will secure the nomination and you won't have to fret anymore.

Of course, if you think her health-care lobbying scandals are all apple pie, that's up to you.

The GOP demonized her for the past 16 years, and there is no more obvious loser than she.

Moreover--now just consider this--I will not vote for her no matter what. I'm sure that doesn't bother you,
but I'm also sure that I'm not alone in being a democrat who would prefer not voting over voting for Hillary.
I would love to have a woman in office, but not her. She is corrupt, and will therefore never have my vote.

when I realized in 1980 --that they don't feel a damned thing.

This is a democracy. You are forced to care.

I know very well how many Republican votes Hillary is able to get.

How about swing states? Purple states.
I already overheard a man say "It may take a million women to get her in but it'd only take one man to get her out." Actually , he was the kind of an ignorant possible violent man that scares me!

have a great deal of Republican voters. Hillary needed an awful lot of Republicans to win New York State.

? In a Presidential Race?

But ask D'amato if it ever elected a Republican Senator.

New York City elected and reelected Rudy as Mayor, and the New York State Senate is still controlled by Republicans.

she's won over NY upstate and she's winning over a lot of indies.

my husband being one of them, and he's talked to several co-workers who are leaning the same way

The longer one researches Hillary, the clearer one's mind becomes. Please, take a look at the information.

against her. And I don't recall - was there even a GOP-er running against her this time? I remember then dropping out, way before the election. Can't even recall an opponent in the GE. DO YOU????

They so desperately want Obama to win. And you can tell that by the propaganda right-wing media coverage. Obama never has any bad press. Clinton rarely has good press coverage. They want him to win the nomination becasue he cannot win the general

I wish she was doing Nancy Pelosi's job though.

I will be watching the repugs faces as they are reporting, they want Obama to win because they have plenty of ammunition they plan to use against him. He seems to be pandering I believe that they are voting for him whenever they can to knock off Hillary.

Against Hillary, they have the truth: she is a corrupt politician who takes millions in lobbyist's money.

I will never vote for her. Therefore, if this election goes her way, your party will lose my vote.

Consider this: I am not alone.

I am honestly comforted to know that Republicans ousted the first Republican Special Prosecutor of the Clintons so that they could install special attack dog Ken Starr instead to that position, and that he wasted over 50 millions of taxpayer money going after the Clintons (the blow job had nothing to do with it until the very end) using every tool in the DA trick book - (including the power to compell cooperaton with his probe or be left to rot in jail) and came up with zilch, nada, that could be used against Hillary or Bill Clinton.

and his supporters imagine MSM can't attack him - he's too likable....Right. No Dem stays likable running against a GOP-er.

I think Obama (or Edwards) would be a better president.

But yes, I think republicans will turn out en masse to vote against her, more than they will against either Obama or Edwards.

Thanks for expressing it more eloquently than I could. :-)

If Hillary is the Dem nominee, they are going to throw it all at her again: Whitewater, the BJ, her days as a lawyer, etc., etc., etc.

But Hillary is tough, and I think she will be able to endure it. But will the American people be able to endure it?

I think there's bad news forthcoming regarding some of Barack's past dealings. He's pretty close to that Rezko guy, and that will be a gift to the GOP. I don't think Obama can take it, either. They'll shred him to bits.

Hillary will ensure the Republicans turn out to vote, though, so in that sense, they will be quite happy.

.

For example, they'd be able to gin up plenty of hate against Obama because he is black and Muslim (as per their propaganda, I know it is not true). Edwards is a trial lawyer, etc.

At least they'd have to come up with a reason to hate Obama...and sell it.

and for a lunch box liberal like myself the photos of Rupert Murdoch with his arm around her and the fact that Sam Walton called her his "little lady.' gives me pause.

they have been slamming her for 8 years. Its not new talk for them.

I think she freaks them out, though.

We are sick of corruption, and that's what she represents.

Wrap it up and put a bright red bow on it.

are over their licking their lips in hopes HRC is the nominee.....Too many right wing strategists are girding for the wrong fight. They are acting and talking like they'll be facing (the late) Leona Helmsley, the notorious "Queen of Mean" when the right wing candidate faces off against HRC. What the right fails to understand that will not be the HRC they'll be confronting in November. As I said many times before this is over, HRC's candidacy will have more in common with Amelia Earharts first tran-Atlantic flight or Sally K. Ride's first trip into space then Helmsley's heartlessness. In so doing the right who are eager to face HRC completely fail to grasp the crucial role that SYMBOLISM plays in politics. HRC's bid to be the first ever woman president of the United States, and folks, THAT IS A BIG DAMN DEAL. It will overshadow every issue and image in the campaign as it draws closer and closer to November.

To those that believe HRC has too high negatives. Well, what you might be over-looking is the fact that HRC's negatives are clustered mainly among Republicans and right leaning independents who are unlikely to vote for her in any circumstance.Among Democrats and Democrat leaning independents HRC's unfavorabel is at the 40% mark and that is damn good. A little history here, between 2005 and 2007 HRC's negatives from PURE INDEPENDENTS were 46% favorable and 41% unfavorable. That too is damn good....

So, I write this again in hopes you understand the right are not over their licking their lips wanting HRC to become our nominee, because HRC will be one tough Democrat to beat.

I do thank you

on the board at Wal Mart and close personal friend of Sam Walton?
You really think Lunch box Liberals are going to be lining up to vote for her?
'Cause I don't!

The real pity of this situation is that the DLC, I repeat, the DLC is once again winning with its candidate. And no one here is even noticing. That same refrain the DLC always plays, when the primaries are over everyone must unite, is playing now. And the second chorus, of course, if you do not vote for the Democratic candidate, you cast a vote for the Republican intermittently tunes in. And that's how the conservative side of our party always wins over the people's choice.

For some time now, posters at this website have recoiled against the power of the DLC over the base. For some time now, posters at this website have recoiled at the policies embraced by that very conservative organization. For some time now, posters at this website recoiled over that conservative element of this party embracing a pre-emptive war. For some time now, posters at this website have been infuriated at the refusal of our party leaders to look at impeachment of a president and vice president who they felt committed war crimes.

But putting all that aside, the DLC is now winning and is beckoning to the voters of this party and this Country to back its candidate for historical reasons -- she is a woman. That's insulting on its face. This campaign should be based on the issues for which we have felt passion, not our gender preference as to who should occupy that seat in the Oval House, and not our racial preference for a man of color to occupy that seat also for purely historical purposes.

This election is too important to allow our preferences for race or gender to trump our position on the electrifying issues we have passionately discussed prior to the start of this campaign. Do we as DU'ers suffer from short-term memory loss? Where is our passion for these discussions we have been promulgating the last few years -- in the toilet where the DLC stands poised to flush them down the drain?

Are we being played for fools, or are we simply fools ....

Sam

!

How is that the wrong fight?

Some of which cannot be repeated in polite company!

The ONES "LATTE LIBERALS " like Hill and Bill have shut out for years!

They attend the same Prep Schools and Ivy League Universities as The Republican Ruling Elite and really only separate themselves from their old school chums by espousing one "Social Issue " or another. They ridicule and resent working class people and are often as fiscally conservative as their Republican cohorts. They Support NAFTA AND Globalization.

are siding with Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries compared to Obama. She is not the one locking up the "latte liberal" vote.

I can't believe so many Democrats have blinders on to what will happen. More division, more ugliness, more establishment.

Bill has been keeping his pants up!
I don't know if I could go through another Monica-Jennifer-Paula debacle again!
I don't think such things should be part of the political discourse but you know if there is dirt to dig up they will find it if they haven't already and are just saving it up!

She's the best thing for the GOP since apple pie.

than obama.

yes, the Clintons. Not Hillary alone.

He would be a close second to Hillary.

The only Democrat that would scare Republicans is John Edwards. Edwards has fought the interests that control the political system and have a stranglehold on our tenuous Democracy.

He is to be marginalized at all costs. If you watch even MSNBC ( supposedly more liberal with KO ), they report on FIVE Republicans, even Ghouliani, who has yet to do better than 4% anywhere.

Yet, Edwards was marginalized since Iowa, where he came in second. Go figure.

He'd be nearly impossible to beat since they don't have people who've been hating him for years, he has LOTS of cross-over appeal, and he's new, representing change, unlike Hillary AND Edwards. Edwards is a phony whose record doesn't match his rhetoric.

Yes

I wasn't that keen on Hillary Clinton, but I'm very impressed with the way that she's handled these relentless attacks - coming from her own damn party, no less!

You go, Hillary.

Also, Republican attacks on her will work in her favor.

the opportunities to either pick up or keep legislative seats in state and national races.

Dems in red and purple states are dreading a Clinton run for this reason.

Or say.
