Advice for Clinton- Take a LONG Vacation Girl !

As a strong Clinton supporter, a lifelong democrat, a white Catholic male Union leader here in PA & NJ, I have some serious advice to Madame Hillary Clinton.

Take a long much deserved vacation with your family in July.

Call a joint press conference with Bill. Strongly endorse Obama on national TV & say goodbye. I'm out of here !

Don't forget to tell Keith, Chris, Donna & the rest of the bias team at MSNBC & CNN that they now have Sen. Obama all to themselves.

They can do whatever they need to do to destroy McCain in the media & attempt to handover the Presidency to Obama.

After the long campaign, the unprecendented attacks by the bias liberal mainstream media, the sharp attacks by Obama & his surrogates, the abandoning of millions of african-americans that your family helped- for the sake of nominating a fellow black american- Its Time to Take care of yourself.

You deserve every single day,hour,minute,second of time off.

There is No Need for you & Bill to put in all this effort for a group of people who do not appreciate what you've done for our party.

Whatever happens, let it be.

If Senator Obama's very weak GE candidacy continues thru  November & losses to McCain as millions of Clintonistas have been saying - the Entire Party has No one to blame but themselves.

If that should happen, you have over 17 million democrats ready for 2012 in case you want to take another stab at it.

Many of us believe the party needs a reality check in november.

Too many activists were in diapers & short pants when we were humiliated by 1984 & 1988. They need to see it, feel it, and experience it. It does wonders for political maturity.

At least, we got the "Racial History" out of the system of these elite white liberals.

With the exception of Jerome Armstrong & a very few others, the rest of the so called "leaders" of the progressive net community will understand what the word " bitter" really means. It will be delivered by millions of "bitter" voters in places like PA, NJ,MI,MA,OH,NH, & the entire south.

Not even Chris Matthews & Keith Olberman can save our party from a landslide. Not even Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton's racial victim guilt trip will work with millions of us "bitter" white working class democrats.

Always remember, you have over 17 million Clinton democrats who are watching your back Madame Senator.

You represent us. You are one of us. And no one can change that!

Bill & Hillary- We are damn proud of you !

nope.  you didnt imply it.  but...  

its just that IMO this is one of the biggest grievances that HRC supporters have.  that is the silence of her rival, his supporters and the party elite to the unprecedented thrashing and double standards applied to her.

as they say - not every enemy of rival is your friend and if more people spoke out i sincerely believe the unity issue would not be a great as it is now.

Re: i couldnt agree more... (2.00 / 3)

In all honesty?  It's been hard to find the time to express sympathy for Senator Clinton.  I've been too busy watching my preferred candidate get double-teamed by Senators Clinton and McCain over Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, the gas tax, foreign policy, diplomacy, and god knows what else.

My "silence," such as it is, comes from my shock at her willingness to nudge things along when it served her purpose.  That really turns me off.  That doesn't mean I approve of some of what has been said and done by the media against her, but it is a question of priorities.

I do Senator Clinton the courtesy of thinking of her as a person and a candidate far more than I do think of her as a woman.  If you want equality, then this is it.  If you do shitty things to people I esteem, if you vote in ways I consider calculating and dishonest, then frankly I'm not going to rush to your defense over most slights.

That doesn't mean I won't ever speak up in her defense.  I have.  But it isn't a priority, given recent history.  Once she concedes and we move on a bit, I'll mellow and soften some.  I don't hate her, I don't even strongly dislike her.  I just don't trust her very much, and I would prefer Obama's message of optimism to Clinton's implied message of nostalgia.

Has she been treated unfairly?  Yes.  Am I mad about it?  Yes.  Is she alone in this?  No.  That's one of the main reasons I'm a Democrat.  I believe in fairness, inasmuch as we can achieve it.  The other side believes in opportunity.  Nothing wrong with that, but I prefer fairness, frankly.

but take what you just said and multiply it by 8000 and reverse it and i suspect that will be the dictum of many HRC supporters.  a small example can be seen in the comments of the numerous diaries i have written about the media treatment of HRC and the silence or denial of many.  my 2 cents.

Re: Advice for Clinton- (none / 0)

That would be correct if it were not for the fact that if Hillary is forced from our choices in the GE, we are left with what some of us see to be a choice between the lesser of two evils.  In such a case,  neither deserves our efforts or our vote.

Before all of you jump to deride me for the statement, it's my vote, it's my right, it's my opinion and my belief.  You DO NOT have the right to insist that I change any of those items.

But I do have the right to say that the path you have chosen is foolish.  Taking an active or passive stance - which is what not voting for the Democratic nominee is - against women's rights, peace in Iraq, and a sane economy is indeed foolish.

I urge you to take a look at the things you care about and ask yourself if a President McCain would work for or against those things.  As a Democrat who believes in Democratic values, it's very clear to me that he would work against them; thus, the nominee of our Party will receive my support.

I would also question your characterization of Sen. Clinton losing the nomination as being "forced from our choices in the GE."  She chose to run for the nomination of the Democratic Party, by their rules; that it looks all the more likely that she will not win the nomination is not an exercise of force but of the will of the voters.  Please do not use language that paints the picture of Sen. Clinton being kept off the ballot by some sort of elite fiat.

As my screen name implies, I heartily disagree. The media has huge power to influence our national discourse.

Re: Advice for Clinton- Take a LONG Vacation Girl (2.00 / 1)

She isn't going to have to wait until 2012. I agree that she should just take the month of July off. What's left of the Democratic Party after McCain gets done with the "presumptive nominee" will be clamoring for her leadership -- oh along about August 24th - don't you think?


by pan230oh on Mon May 26, 2008 at 03:40:27 PM EST

Re: Advice for Clinton- Take a LONG Vacation Girl (2.00 / 1)

Right.  Because McCain is just about done getting his campaign ship-shape and at cruiser speed.  He'll just deploy some of the megabucks he's been raising hand over fist, and if he runs low, I'm sure there are lots of Republican Senators and Representatives who will be happy to show him some love--they with their swollen coffers and re-elections in the bag.

I subscribe to the theory that, once Clinton withdraws and Obama becomes the presumptive nominee, his share of the Democratic support in polls will rise sharply (it's already moving up as people realize he's going to be the nominee), and his lead over McCain will balloon to the 12% to 15% range.  Indeed, Clinton knows this; it's one reason why she's desperate for a metric that will keep the supers from pushing him over the top.  Because when Obama is 10+% up in the polls throughout the summer, there won't be any Clinton comeback at the convention.

  3.  Running roughshod over Blue Dog Democrats in the health care reform efforts in 1994.
  4.  Her bundler, Hsu, doing time for fraud and god knows what else.  Big deal, if guilt by association works as well as it has on Obama.

Re: I am Not Bitter But.... (none / 0)

To the diarist:

the only thing I have in common with you is I am a white male Democrat from Ohio.

Other than that, I am opposite you in business. While you are a union organizer, I am a 20 year business owner with over 350 employees. These 350 employees represent over 2,000 mouths to feed.

I am also a 20 yr. officer of the National Chambers of Commerce.

I am founding member of the "Ohio Business Owners for Democrats" which has been in existence for 14 years. We have over 600  small, medium, & large business owners across Ohio who are loyal democrats. We have given millions to the Democratic party even during the dark days of the Ohio Democratic party.

We may be in opposite aisles in business, but we are both democrats.

I have given close to $95,000 of my own personal funds in the last 4 years alone to the Democratic Party. From the national, state, local to Gov Strickland, Sen. Brown's campaign.

With that said, as a proud american who loves my country, I cannot in good conscience support a candidate who is Not Qualified to be President.

Say what you like about Walter Mondale & Mike Dukakis, but one thing these two men shared is their Highest Qualifications to run our country.

They both may have been too left for majority of american voters, but they were more than qualified to be President.

With Senator Obama, 99% of All Democrats would call him "unqualified" to be President if he had an R next to his name. To be a Senator? Yes. But to be President in '08, sorry but he does not have it yet.

I have had a dozen employees throughout the years who were brilliant public speakers with A PLUS education. They could sell the brookly bridge to an entire audience.

But make no mistake about. These men & women may have the gift of public speaking, but they would Not have been qualified to be CEO of any medium or large company.

Speaking well does not make you Presidential material.

Even our Governor Strickland or our Senator Brown would be much more qualified to be President than Sen. Obama.

Once Sen. Obama is the official nominee, our organization will vote on either endorsing Sen. McCain for President or simply Not Endorse anyone for President.

We have made it very clear verbally & in writing to Ohio Democratic state leaders & the Governors office. We Will Give all our financial & organizational Support to All Democrats in the Ohio ticket except the one for the President.

We are business owners. We create jobs & move the economy. We are not some 21 yr. old blogger with milk in his mouth.

We cannot support someone who we have very serious doubts to run the largest economy in the world.

I am still hopeful that Sen. Clinton is the nominee.

She would carry our state by a landslide & it would deliver the Presidency to her.

With Obama as the nominee, it won't even be close on election day. Sen. McCain will crush him in Ohio.

We have "bitter" and "non-bitter" Ohioans who cannot support Obama.

This white Ohioan thinks you're nuts.  Either a Republican, or frankly loony.

Re: I am Not Bitter But.... (none / 0)

Obama has run a brilliant campaign, both strategically and fiscally. You want someone who can run the largest economy in the world, yet Hillary has bankrupt her own campaign at least twice so far.

And it's small business owners like yourself that her campaign has stiffed after they left town.
So, are you sure that Hillary is really the candidate that represents your values and interests?

for this stuff than she does the garbage spewed by such as matthews, she will do what she thinks is best for the party and country.

has there been woman bashing during the campaign, sure, but you take the good with the bad, and you deal with circumstances as they are.

besides, this writing style is wholly imitative of my non cap flow of consciousness, or unconsciousness, as you see fit

I've asked this from the diarist before: I would LOVE to know what union he represents.


I have that readiness.

"They can do whatever they need to do to destroy McCain in the media & attempt to handover the Presidency to Obama."

..and You do NOT want McCain destroyed?

Re: LOSING Big with Seniors (none / 0)

As I've posted in another thread, this is not about HRC.

Personally, I believe their is nothing Clinton can do for Obama.

I work three large Senior Citizens complexes with over 4,000 seniors.

Its 92% white with a large population of Irish, Jews & Italians.

Kerry carried these areas 83% to 15% against Bush in the GE.

Clinton beat Obama 88% to 10% in the primary.

Our org just did another survey of all senior residents the entire last week.

Since everyone pretty much knows that Obama is now the nominee to be, we ask the hypotical match-up between Obama vs. McCain.

McCain would beat Obama by 69% to 27%

Let me remind you. In all these years.

No Republican has carried these area since Reagan beat Mondaly by 66% to 33% in 1984.

Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Gore & Kerry all won these three complexes by landslide margins.

McCain is poised to win this thing over Obama by a landslide never seen before for any Republican.

Anyone who thinks this problem will go away once Hillary endorses & campaigns for Obama is nuts.

This issue is not about Hillary. This is about Obama.
Senior voters will bury Obama in the fall.

P.S. In case you were wondering.

Clinton would defeat McCain 91% to 7%
