I recognize there are a tiny handful of Obama supporters, on PB, that are willing to respectfully converse with Hillary supporters and tolerate questioning or dissention about Sen. Obama. However, the huge majority of Obama supporters / recent "Dems" do not have such tolerance.

I will not behave like other posters and threaten to leave, but actually keep reposting. This will be my very last post to PB, but I will read all replies before leaving.

Please understand your bile and vitriol, directed at Democrats who support Sen. Clinton, will have a price. Most of her supporters represent the historic base of the Democratic Party. I am more angered by the disrespect from Sen. Obama's supporters than I am by his campaign. However, this anger at his supporters has driven me to the decision to vote against the Democratic Party. I am not voting FOR the republican, but I am voting directly AGAINST the democrat.

Contained within the fury of Hillary supporters, there is a message to the DNC. The primary process was flawed and defective, but phone calls and letters will not lead to any change. I think a defeat in November might.

I understand Sen. Clinton is now backing Obama, but I am not going to discard my own intelligence and blindly follow her . . . can everyone else say the same?

I cannot wish you good luck, so I simply say goodbye.

Do not go

This blog is for Democrats and for people who want this country to be democratic. Doesn't matter to me who you vote for..... I support HRC and I will not be a sheep to anyone. Do not let people force you out or make you feel as you should leave. EVERYONE has a right to be here!
  
STAY
By Hold Politicians Accountable Jun 23rd 2008 at 6:05 pm EDT
We need to hold the DNC Accountable, so it would be good of you to stay. You cannot fall off, because someone does not have your opinion. Now is the time for another way, dissent. If only the Republicans dissented with Bush, we would not be in this awful mess now.

Dessent brings, hateful words, sleezy tactics, trashy behavior, anger, to be beaten, and sometimes death. Dessent is the health of our Democracy. Without it, we are not a Democracy. Many injustices have been done in this Country, and the only tool we have is dissent. That is real change and real hope.

I agree. I have just joined this site today. I have read some comments by O people, and it really disturbs me. Especially this smear campaign on a POW. Gutter like. How many Dems have left the site already?

So sad. I think we are going to lose another election. How could we, Bush was so bad, McCain not much better. This is another throw away. I am not real sure on Obama, he flip flops like a fish out of water. The Campaign finance thing, the NAFTA thing, and FISA. John Kerry is going to look good after Obama gets done. Right now, I just cant vote for him!

I just do not think he is going to make it. Too much division. A word does not make an action. Only an action can make a word viable. Unity, I think not.
  
Truely sorry to see you go :(
By Barbara"Obama/Biden"Hussein Jun 23rd 2008 at 6:15 pm EDT
I am truly sorry to see you go. I came here 5 days ago Only to find some Hillcrats did not welcome me or some of my friends both hillcrats aka Obamatons, and Obamanites. Always attacking anything Obama. Not wanting to United the party, stating they will do all they can to make the party lose this race. Sacrificing everything.

Well I'm not leaving. I wish you would stay and lets try and stop fighting and start at least trying to start Uniting.

But even that request was rejected by people here who call themselves Hillcrats. Frankly, its just hard for me to believe they really. But thats my opinion.

I posted a simple button a found today on the barackobama site, and was accused of trying to make a profit on this site. After I laughed I thought about it, and REALLY wished I had thought of it. I'd be paying off my house right now. lolol

Anyway, I wish you wouldnt go.

((fist bump))=hoping we can come together soon!

Actually Barb there are a good amount of us who get along well. I promise you your not a victim here and you have not even seen how bad things can get. Some of us have been here months and taken allot on both sides

Oh, I dont feel like a victim. One thing I liked about The Hill is that she could take a licking and keep on ticking. She tough,strong. Would not give up. I like that, though I wanted her to. I still admired that about her.

I never quite. And I am not against women. I just dont want us to fight the way we do. I'm determined to stay and help make things better.

I will say, I have never been so popular on any site before. In both negative and positive ways. Mostly positive.

I truly believe in what the bible says about love.

"love never fails"

so, with that said

(fist bump))= I love you.

If you don't feel like a victim then why post everyday how many days you have been here and how horrible you have been treated? Just a question
  
I disagree
By FreedomOfSpeech Jun 23rd 2008 at 6:24 pm EDT
I noticed a change in the last two weeks , that have led me to believe that Obama supporters and Hillary supporters have been getting along rather well.

The only attacks by Obama supporters I have seen , were against the smears , lies and misrepresentations. But other than that, I did not see what you are claiming.
  
Re: so you believe the bible....
By Barbara"Obama/Biden"Hussein Jun 23rd 2008 at 6:30 pm EDT
Real easy, just dont carry hate in your heart. Just dont do it, no matter who else may hate you. Let them stand befor God with hatred in their heart.

Thats all.

Primaries
By Lincoln Park Dem Jun 23rd 2008 at 6:36 pm EDT
The DNC did nothing wrong., It was a majority of HRC supporters that wrote the DNC rules of the primaries. These rules included Michigan And Florida rules. What credibilty can there be when now the rules are unfair? I would venture to say that few of those complaining now would be complaining about the rules if HRC won.

I really hope that people think about others when they vote. A no-vote or a McCain vote will hurt the American people who are hurting already. The war will not end.

Lastly, I don't buy into the 'victim' and 'being used' by the DNC and Obama. HRC is one of the strongest woman in hitory. She has never let anyone push her anywhere. Statements like that discredit HRC.

HRC is going to work to put Obama in office. I would hope that her supporters show her the credibilty and respect she desreves for this.

Contrary to what some think is not OBAMA BUILDER. You have as much right to be here as anyone else. It is not a secret that I support Senator Clinton and have no faith in Obama. I will not give in to the intimidation tactics of many Obama supporters. I will not go away. I will not stand with them and support someone in whom I do not believe.
  
I would

like to see some specifics on this
quote "Please understand your bile and vitriol, directed at Democrats who support Sen. Clinton" unquote

I have seen many (Mikey being the last) to actually try a mediation type and as I posted earlier Link
have been very please, even though there was disagreements, (which there should be), it was mostly civil and somewhat productive, IMO

I just got back from being gone most of the afternoon, so have not had a chance to review the posts while I was gone----
Again, I can't tell by generalities, and would like to see some specifics.

I also haven't been on PB that long, I came after all the primaries and understand that it was pretty hot and heavy, we had two great candidates-----
With the primary being over, we are all looking forward to the UNITY of the two campaigns and how stong that will make us-----and party on forward to take as many seats as we can.

I think it would be too bad for you to miss that----we all desearve lots of fun and celebrating after the last 8 years of BushCo, and a hard fought primary.

If you are specific with your complaints, I know they can be resolved----I have witnessed that while I have been here.

I hope you re-assess
