So now I'm a jerk for not forgiving the horrible person that is Hilary Clinton. I'm sorry. It's not all ok. As I said, she can get out of the way and I'll drop it.
I can list the grievances if you want, but the point is this:
I liked Hilary before the primary season started. I find a whole lot about her behavior in this contest to be offensive and dishonorable. I am no more of a troll for that than the people who've bought the taylor marsh and alegre and little otter lies (and those people peddle almost exclusively lies) are for their disdain for Obama.
The part that really gets me though is this:
I will NEVER be convinced of anything but that almost all of her supporters know but won't admit that the Florida and Michigan issue is absolutely dishonest bullshit. HILARY'S campaign took part in crafting the agreement and the agreed to it. Hilary's failure to take her name off of the Michigan ballot was dishonest. It was not a mistake for Barack to be good for his word by removing his name from the ballot like just about all of the other candidates did too. I am partially mad at Hilary for insulting america by pretending like we're all a bunch of 3 year olds who won't get it. I am even more angry at her supporters for pretending like they ARE 3 years old and don't get it.
I also will never forgive her for functioning as a McCain surrogate. "The GOP will do it anyway" is no excuse. We're better than them because we aren't that sort of creep.
Lastly, I am an engineer and an atheist. I live my entire life based on the idea that making decisions to disregard math and science is a VERY dangerous thing to do and has about a 95% failure rate (as is now evidenced by Hilary's campaign's collapse). All Hilary's supporters have had for strategy since super tuesday is to look at the math and go "Nuh-uh." It's really stupid and it's McCain's best chance.
You want trolls, look at the other side of the conversation.
I have a 3 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. The need for a democratic president that doesn't serve as a veto pen while our congressional majorities that our party enjoys make an effort to restore for my children the civil right that I have enjoyed is far more important than Hilary's stupid fucking ego if it comes at a cost to the actual nominee's chances in November especially if the tactics have to be flagrantly dishonest shit like the Michigan/Florida shit.
The mood in this country is anti- republican more so than anytime in decades. McSame is an extremely week candidate. It's a dream for those of us who want a democratic president. The only thing that can stand in the way is Hilary destroying Barack's chances. She cannot win the nomination. The only thing she can do is to cripple Barack not getting the fuck out of the way and SHE'S DOING ALL SHE CAN TO FUCK IT UP!!
She is a horrible human being. I will never forgive her. I WILL drop it if she gets out of the way. If not, I WILL try to find a way for this to cost her.
I couldn't agree more with a post than this. Hillary chose this path and it's become a spiral of death. Not only for her candidacy but for the Dems chances of winning in November. Every time I thought she couldn't go any lower, she did.
I seriously can't tell the difference between most of the "logic" her camp uses these days from the typical Republican crap we've been forced to deal with these last 8 to 10 years. The biggest pile of dog shit is their Florida and Michigan strategy. I can't stand people who change the rules after the fact to suite them. Democrats here ought to be sickened by her efforts, not applaud them. "Do anything to win" isn't something I've EVER supported and besides that, it's so damn short-sighted.
The energy of this campaign has been generated by one candidate, Obama. He's winning by all legitimate measures. Hell, he's won! To send those new troops home now by stealing the election will prove, once and for all, that our government is really run by one party. We're supposed to stand for something better.
I never called you a jerk and I certainly know you are entitled to your own opinions. I called your post trollish because it is. It's not necessarily what you say, it's the nasty way you say it:
she is a horrible human being
that gets you a troll rating here everytime.
So, I am entitled to my opinion unless my opinion is that she is a horrible human being?!
Basically I got trolled for my opinion. That's specifically against the rules for troll rating.
Besides... she IS a horrible human being.
Again with you Hilary folks the rules apply to everyone ELSE. For you though, the rules change according to your convenience.
Undo your TR or you're as big a hypocrite as your lost cause candidate.
for your opinion. You got TR'd for:

Users who are bashing or attacking any other user on the site, including authors of diaries and frontpage postings, will be banned. Candidates and politicians are fair game (but that doesn't mean you can use inflammatory language against candidates).
Please reread your posts. You will see that your descriptions of Hillary are inflammatory.
How should I state that Hilary is lacking entirely in any honor and is a basically bad person who has used her station in life to amplify her bad deeds and intents over the course of the nomination race?
It is my opinion that Hilary is a terrible human being. I didn't start singing "DING DONG" from the Wizard of Oz or drop a C-bomb or anything like that.
If you can't handle somebody pointing out that your candidate is not honorable and that the party would be better off without someone so disloyal as to place personal ego above the well being of the party then perhaps you should spend your time on something other than politics (like maybe a trip to Woolworth's for some Kleenex) as you haven't a thick enough skin for it (or an aptitude for picking a winner evidently).
