Remember the PUMA people in 2008? They never left.


Remember how frustrating it was when they just kept going on and on even though they were mathematically eliminated? There was a fear that if they didn't get their way they were going to gum up the whole process and go against the will of the majority of the people because their candidate didn't get the nomination. Those people are still here feigning their phony outrage and alienating anyone that disagrees with them. They remind me of those petulant children that put their fingers in their ears screaming "La la la! I can't hear you!" There's no rational debate going on with them and they won't let you ignore them. Despite your attempts to paint us as sexist, it's not about gender. It's about values and ideology. We don't want a hawkish corporatist as our nominee. Most of us are liberals and that's why we're here. We thought we had that candidate in 2008, (and who knows what he may have accomplished without all the hawkish conservative democrats in the house and senate?) and that's why we chose him over Hillary then. We think we've got that candidate now who represents the best in liberal and progressive policies that any liberal could possibly want. He just happens to not be beholden to the corporately owned democratic party. And that's why we choose him over Hillary. So if you want to stomp your feet and hold your breath until you eventually don't get your way like you did back in 2008, by all means, have at it. Just don't think that we'll forget it.

1. You mean those people who refused to vote for the

Democratic president elect if their primary candidate didn't win? Yeah,they're still here but they aren't Hillary supporters.

2. Mathematical elimination did not occur until late May, 2008.

That's how close it was.

She stayed in until Puerto Rico got their chance. That was out of respect for the Puerto Rican people.

I remember, as I supported Obama in 2008.

PUMAs did not take off until June of 2008, and they were a very tiny minority that the media decided to play up.

As Hillary Clinton 's march to the nomination and the presidency becomes more and more unstoppable expect the attacks on her and her supporters to become more vitriolic as they grow exponentially...

The war continues...

And yet when your choices become Billary or the Republican candidate, you'll vote for Billary. All this talk of "we don't want a hawkish corporatist" will be for nothing as you sell your soul to vote for the corporate whore Billary. You vote against your own best interests.

You bern-outs have no backbone, and the Dem party leadership knows it. All you are and will ever be are useful idiots.

Finally a DUmmie has a flash of realism. It was democrats that stopped their agenda during Obama's first two years of terrorism.

They're calling themselves HillCats now

They hate Hillary Clinton, yet they will vote for her in a heartbeat???????

Let's say that Hillary Clinton ran as a Democrat and Barack Obama ran as an Independent. Who would they vote for?
