Hillary Clinton is planning to take her "grievances" all the way to the August convention.
And will advise her "supporters" to protest the convention if she doesn't get what she wants (i.e. an amendment of the DNC rules in the middle of the contest).

She has begun Operation 2012, which is designed to harm Obama's '08 chances.

8. I think Obama can take her in the Feats of Strength
But, then again, we'll hear constant whining about how unfair they are so they probably won't count. :eyes:

5. She needs to take her "grievances" and shove them up her ass.
She's pathetic, and no longer a Democrat.

7. Now that's a positive
and inspiring campaign message for a country that has been bullied and abused over the past 7 1/2 years by a totalitarian administration. Who wouldn't want to sign on to that?

:sarcasm:

9. I've called it for some time now - the HRC campaign is all about 2012. Not only will she try to
disrupt the convention, after it's over and Obama is the nominee she'll be in court in an attempt to sue her way to the nomination. She knows she won't win, but she'll be hoping it will help McCain win so she can take another crack at it in 2012. She has truly morphed into a loathsome human being.

Mark Warner run and beat her

19. She has till the end of the month to accept a compromise on FL & MI.
If she won't then, the SDs need to show her the door.

23. At this point in the race, she can't accept a compromise on those 2, because it automatically
disqualifies her. She has to get her way. She HAS to be on the ticket now, whether at the top or bottom spot. If she's not and McCain wins, she will be so hater she will never be able to run again. If Obama wins, by 2016 she'll be too old and have to compete with Obama VP. She obviously wants at least the VP slot now, and it must have been made clear to her in back room talks that she won't get it. Most Obama surrogates don't seem to like the idea, and I'm sure some in the inner circle, probably Obama himself and I feel definitely Michelle, want nothing to do with her, which is as it should.

So she's pushing the popular vote lie, and makes sure her supporters are fanatic about her, and ensures that if she doesn't get a spot, the few idiots who still support her- and fuck it, yeah they are mentally-challenghed idiots for not seeing the popular vote lie and that the race is mathematically over, and I don't care who is offended- will thing she was wronged and won't vote. They're not enough to get her the nomination, but they're enough that if she doesn't get a place on the ticket, the Dems lose the election.

Basically Hillary is using a lie to fool stupid people, and uses this to blackmail the party and give her a spot, the fact that she has democratically lost and the good of the party be damned.

This is SCARY! This is a woman who feels that she must use this sort of gutter tactics to get to rule the world's most powerful country, even though the democratic electorate of her party has chosen she does not represent them! She feels her sense of entitlement is greater than the wishes of the millions upon millions of democrats and wishes indeed for a coronation!!!

If you value democracy, make sure Hillary Clinton gets nowhere near the democratic ticket!

22. I don't know why they don't come out....
Edited on Wed May-21-08 04:51 PM by nomaco-10
maybe they're waiting just prior to montana and sd so that he can declare victory and give his speech in the state that put him over the top. But, she'll have declared a big victory in PR two days prior, and will have already started squealing like pig about popular vote. Every scenario I can come up with at this point is bad, very bad for us and the party.

Today SD count - Obama 2 shillary 1

I hate her with the intensity of a thousand burning suns.
