Democrats and Obama Should Not Try to Force Hillary Clinton Out of the Race

Joe Leiberman was on This Week talking about people changing their opinions. Whose butt was he kissing a few years ago?? Leiberman has one agenda....the protection of Israel. This is all well and good but I am quite sure that the Israeli army is probably stronger and they surely are more well rested than our servicemen/women. He even spoke of the need to protect the UAE...people who have a very large percent of the world's wealth and do nothing but indulge themselves and are also holding all of us hostage in the present oil situation. We have been draining all our resources on this worthless war and have ignored the national agenda, where jobs are needed, where the infrastructure of this country is literally falling down. Those of us who worked for years and was fortunate enoug to put a few dollars in the Stock Market are being shafted while the ones who got the tax breaks from the present adminstration and who have created the chaos and fiasco are walking away the hundreds of millions of dollars for their incompetance and if indeed they go to the courts in this country they get a slap on the wrist. Its time to stop the bleeding and do something to assist the hard working people of this country and get is out of the mass depression that has infitrated our lives for the past 7 years!!!!!

So the Democrats should be more concerned with loosing Clinton Democrats rather than loosing the independants that Obama brings to the table. What about the Racial discord the Clintons brought to the table? Do we get a Mea Culpa for that?
If its Obama-Clinton I may not vote, or I'll vote for McCain in the next election.

Many Hillary supporter are, without a doubt supporting Obama. I read an article by one Hillary support, Pam Jackson, on http://www.posterspost.com about why she plans to support Obama. She makes some good points.

The Guru's have gotten what they wanted......They wanted Hillary out of the race as far back as 5 months ago!! Well, Mr. Obama..."BE PREPARED". The "subtle" racism is about to go OVERT!!! Your adoring fans in the press/media will now expect Miracles from you and will soon forget who left the messy, sleazy, 10B/week fiasco that they will insist YOU must clean up!!! They now have their wrecking ball poised and will use you as a punching bag for the next 5 yrs. In the coming weeks , they will speak of your inexperience and John McCain will have a halo. Do not for one moment think that they are your FRIENDS or that coverage will be FAIR. They put you on the pedestal and they will gladly throw you out.. BE PREPARED....BE AWARE, BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID OF THE MEDIA!!!
MAY GOD GUIDE YOU AND PROVIDE A CLEAR PATH FOR YOU DURING THE UPCOMING SEASON AND BEYOND!!!!!
Pelosi, Reid and Dean, et al had their private agendas and their own fish to fry, but they must all remember that what goes up must come down!!! The DNC better rethink their arrogance and know that the will of the PEOPLE MUST BE ADHERED TO!!! ""Nough Said"!!!

It kills me to read all these posts claiming Hillary is a racists, democrats not voting for Obama are racists, Obama deserves the nomimation. You small minded people! People jumping on the Obama bandwagon because he claims to be the savior of this country. Even worse than small minded - you are sheep.
Obama is the predicted "winner" of the nomination, but Ms. Clinton has every right, and a even more, a duty to those who supported her, to leave the race when she deems it advisable. Not when the Sheep deem it advisable - or when the "Party" deems it so. That's what the country is all about - choice, freedom.
I support Hillary Clinton, for her experience and her stands on the issues. As a life long democrat, normally I would vote my party no matter what. But I do not like Obama, or the way he campained against Ms. Clinton. He lacks experience. And there is just something I do not trust about him. It has nothing to do with race.
I won't vote for McCain, but will vote independent this year if Obama is nominated. I urge all Democrats against Obama to consider voting Green (especially is Cynthia McKinney is the nominee for that party) or Independent.

For one I agree...Hillary shouldnt even put her name on the VP slot. OBAMA does NOT deserve her on there!!! We all know too well he will NOT be elected unless she is on that ticket. Its a dang on shame he had to waltz up in this election like he is GQ smooth AND the blacks took it for a BLACK election. Too bad so sad. As I have said before, if all candidates just left resumes without their names on it for us to select who is best suitable for the job.....OBAMA would never have made it close to being a democratic hopeful. I smell something fishy here......this guys scares me. AND HIS SPEECHES SUCK!!

Hillary won the popular vote. South Carolina jumped the gun, so why weren't they penalized? Double standard. The standards of the DNC are really suspect. The Rules and Bylaws Committee, too. In Michigan they gave all the votes that would have gone to Edwards, Richardson or Biden and took 4 from Hillary. They also counted the votes that might have been counted, people that might have voted, and so on. Talk about a fairy tale. Things like that are why we'll have to suffer the Republicans in White House again. BUT we can elect all Democrats to the House to hold them in check. Except for a few like Baron Hill, Joe Donnelly, Visclosky who used their so called super delegate status to vote against their district. Baron Hill should go back to lobbying. I know a lot of good Democrats. Let him give all that money ot one of them. As for Donnelly, what's he going to do now that GM is closing up here and going where? What is he doing to keep those jobs here?

Clinton won the nomination, but due to the double standard DNC and their crooked way of dealing out delegates, it was handed to Obama. It was a crooked card game, dealt with cards from up the sleeve.

Bosnia sniper fire - let's not let the argument about rules obscure her weaknesses and "misstatements.". She is fundamentally not qualified to be president. This latest series of rules issues is clouding the issues,and majically erasing her real negatives.
