Hillary's supporters to Obama: ''Continued scorn will not get my vote''

We've gotten an avalanche of emails from around the country this week in the wake of news that Sen. Hillary Clinton will be closing out her campaign Saturday.

This one, from Billie Bromer of Augusta, Georgia, is representative of many, capturing the sentiments of Hillary supporters -- angry, aggrieved, mournful -- as they watch the end of a landmark campaign.

What it shows: the considerable challenges ahead for the Obama campaign -- and the Democratic Party -- when it comes to winning these voters over in the next 150 days.

Take a read:

I am one of those 'upset' Hillary supporters who is clinging to Hillary.com during my 'mourning and grieving' process. The media, the pundits, the politicians, and even the two remaining candidates are talking about me and my vote in November. But the story about Hillary supporters is incomplete.

The most simple -- but woefully incorrect -- way to address the topic of the displaced, diehard Hillary women supporters is to lump us all together.

We came to Hillary for different reasons and we are clinging to Hillary for different reasons.

Some of us are pretty strong feminists and we absolutely love the fact that Hillary represents all facets of the very best of women -- smart, tough, soft, protective, devious, tender, assertive compassionate (should I go on?)

Some of us have been more moderate (sensible) Democrats and we absolutely love the fact that she doesn't represent the more liberal/progressive lean the party seems to be taking.

Some of us just do not like Obama and we are NOT racists for not liking him. We see him as arrogant and smug and he just does not 'inspire' us.

They will regret their choice, I’m sure of it.

[Salamander]

Of course he dragged his victim out of public view.
That’s what thugs do.

[Politicalmom]

You can go ahead and call me “irrational”.

I will NOT vote for someone for whom I have NO respect, and who I think will be a disaster for this country, especially since I think he’s crazy.

[Coldwater Creek]

I'm NOT staying home, but there's a ton of conservatives that say that THEY are!

[Coldwater Creek]

Let me get this clear. Are you saying that I am a Clinton supporter, or are talking to Clinton supporters in general?

[Coldwater Creek]

Who are you calling a lesbian? I hope that it’s not me, because you have made a horrible mistake if that’s the case.

[Lijahsbubbe]

soft, protective, devious, tender, assertive compassionate (should I go on?)

TENDER? Have you ever looked at her and saw tender? And I'm sure not seeing the "soft" part either!

[Coldwater Creek]

Any clear thinking rational adult would know, that the only choice that we have is between McCain and Obama. Any other vote or stay at home is death to this country.

[Viking2002]

Inasmuch as I think McCain is overdue for leasing a two-seat golf cart sporting vanity plates with his condo at Leisure World (vis-a-vis his stands on Global Whining, immigration, and other cherry-picked issues), the thought of The Obamanation and his black militant, smack-talking Queen Latifah wife Aunt Esther holding the reins of power is enough to send me out to preach the Gospel of St. John. Those two are the personification of the wildest wet dream ever concocted by the diseased minds of any enviroNazi, Marxist bathhouse dweller to the left of Dwight D. Eisenhower. At least McCain would walk a path that wouldn't overtly spark a civil insurrection. The Obamanation's reign wouldn't make it to Christmas '09 before cars where burning in the streets, IMO.

...in the wake of news that Sen. Hillary Clinton will be closing out her campaign Saturday.

I am not convinced Hillary is going to close out her campaign as in END it, and concede Obama IS the nominee. She just may do it, but until I actually see it happen I won't believe she will concede.

Something has to be gained by Hillary before she let's go of 18m votes and all those delegates. Infact, I think she shouldn't give up at all until the delegates vote at the convention because afterall, she won the popular vote and the states that really matter. Some dems might begin to really start getting worried Hillary voters will vote McCain and Obama really is this empty suit and hasn't got a chance to convince the country to vote for him, even if the DBM tries to make him out to be the anti-American messiah.

Where's the tape, and what was discussed at the meeting between Obama and Hillary?

[Ingtar]

I’m not staying home, I have a Senator and a congressional seat to vote on.

[Carley]

Hysterical tantrums. How mature!

[cubreporter]

If hillleree’s supporters won’t vote for Obama then they vote for McCain. Are they that stupid? Yeah...I guess they are. :)

[Coldwater Creek]

Who is running for senator in Tennessee?

Have I missed something?

[txhurl]

For you, realizing of course you are not from Maine:

[Ingtar]

Lamar! is up for reelection this year. He seems to be slowly morphing into a reliable vote for Conservative causes... surprising me.

[Looks like we’ve got lots of ammunition already to bring down the often deified “Magic” one...]

And we don’t need Obama’s church anymore, now that Obama is showing us who he is.

If the Dems had nominated a moderate like Mark Warner or Evan Bayh or maybe even Bill Nelson, it would make it a lot easier to vote against McCain this cycle, and work to retake the GOP for conservatives. By the same token, by nominating McCain, many angry fans of Hillary will undoubtedly find him an acceptable President, and vote for him instead of the usurper. McCain has the benefit this year of facing an opponent so left wing that he can win without support of the base, because he is half Democrat to begin with.

Please provide a link, if you will, and I don’t mean V-DARE, WorldNutDaily, or somesuch...

Summarily dismissing sources as irrelevant simply because of some vague reason does not make them illegitimate. You need to back up your vacant claim with facts for it to have any credibility. WND provides to many details for none of it to be true. Here are some facts from an WND article about the Soros McCain link:

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001.

Here are a few other sources confirming the Soros McCain link.

See a pattern developing here? McCain is in bed directly or indirectly with a number of flaming socialists/communists including not only Soros but Ariana Huffington and Theresa Heinz Kerry. Oh wait, isn't she married to the man who considered McCain as a VP running mate? Wow, what a coincidence! By supporting McCain you are also supporting his whole network of socialists/ communists who want to take away your personal freedoms.
