Hillary Clinton cheated out of nomination for President and over looked for VP will speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) “I won’t to be forgive Barack Obama for what he did to Hillary†claim one life long democrat. "John McCain has lifelong experience of serving his country ... he is without question qualified to be President of the United States," "The policies of Barack Obama would make America a weaker nation." Mitt Romney,
Homebiz, you have created several threads against Obama - cool. I'm no longer a real fan myself. but even if I were, I'd say, knock yourself out, may a good dialogue take place. That said, what is up with stuff like the above? On what basis was Hillary Clinton "cheated out of the nomination?"
I support Obama over McCain, though I find many attributes of McCain worthy. In looking at the Dem primaries, when they hit Virginia I voted for Hillary over Obama, with the difference then being a tiny thread. I support Obama now. I can't understand why there are a large contingent of Hillary supporters who would vote McCain over Obama. She obviously supports Obama and is making a case to her supporters to vote Obama. The "cheated" comment is simply stupid and typical "attack/distort" politics. She doesn't support that concept, only the "attack/distort" political people push it. Why don't you listen to what she says in her speech rather than "attack/distort". A helpful alternative suggestion might be to come up with a positive reason to support McCain if you are capable. It would be astonishing and a breadth of fresh air to experience a month of Republicans always giving positive reasons to support McCain without resorting to "attack/distort".
You don't for a second actually believe that the OP has ever supported Hillary do you? This is a thinly veiled attempt to spin Hillary supporters into the McCain camp. Like many here, I actually like John McCain but not enough to support putting the Republicans back in charge after the last 8 years. There are many reasons to support McCain over Obama and almost all are ignored in favor of pathetic appeals to our lesser instincts.
Hillary Clinton's speech seemed to hit the correct tone, but one columnist wonders about its effect. True, her challenges Tuesday night were impossibly high, perhaps mutually exclusive. She had to both promote her political future and unify her party. Clinton had to somehow convince people that she honestly thought Obama was ready for the presidency. But something stood in her way: Her words.
