Is it time to truly honor Clinton and her supporters for a hard fought campaign?

Question

Isn't it time we remember that the Obama campaign is about healing the divisions between us and getting things done to move us forward?

Clintons has been planning for the presidency for years. Many Clinton supporters have the same belief and passion for their candidate that we have.

Isn't it time to move beyond our frustrations during this campaign and honor Clinton and her supporters? Do we truly want to inflame our divisions when we see an unprecedented opportunity to heal?

We love all Americans - male and female, rich and poor of all race and backgrounds. We want want is best for all of us.

We understand the frustration of having the candidate we believe in demeaned and belittled.

Clinton supporters see a strong, intelligent and experienced female candidate with a strong plan to move our country forward.
Obama supporters are inspired by his message, his strength and intelligence and ability to get things done.

Can we begin to recognize what we have in common and move forward?

Answer 1

I agree and I don't think you're pandering. As a Hillary supporter, I obviously think she is the best choice. But win or lose, I am seriously concerned with the hatred and vile attitudes I see on all sides of the elections. As corny as the whole "can't we all just get along" quote is, it's completely appropriate. I see grown men and women screaming in hatred at each other over what? Unity! Several obnoxious Obama supporters on this site have actually made me want to vote McCain, but fortunately I don't vote with my emotions. I think too many people do. So thank you for a sincere, refreshing look at this election. Hopefully people will remember how we are all in it together (remember the brotherhood we felt towards each other on 9-11?) and get over this meanspirited-ness. Whoever wins.

Answer 2

I love the sugar coating--however--Hillary Clinton's "hard fought campaign" is on-going.



Clinton supporters do not have the "same belief and passion" by a long shot, Hillary supporters are logical hard working intelligent people that have a sixth sense--if you will--for selecting a candidate that can actually do the job.



The "frustration of having the candidate we believe in demeaned and belittled" will come home on November 4th if Hillary is not the Democratic Nominee.

Answer 3

Good luck in trying to get the people to see what SHOULD be obvious. I even have to try to do the same thing with both my parents, who acted like they would disown me before if I ever voted anything but Dem. GO FIGURE. But I KNOW their not well informed (although Dad should be he reads the paper every day), Its not the change of Govt. their afraid of, its the fact that the guy that's going to bring about that change is a Black man. I don't excuse this but I can understand it. Their 67 and 65 born in the 40s 20 years before the civil rights movement, in south western Virginia, one of the most racially divided places Ive seen. Its hard to shake what you had rammed down your throat for 20 years.

Answer 4

Thank you - but, good luck with that. On all the boards I go too, it's either you are with us or against us (referring to Obama supporters) and endless cries for Hillary to drop out. Both candidates have more in common then people want to see - Clinton Obama US Senate Voting Record Comparison

I supported John Edwards and still do (his policies by far were the best) but will vote Dem come November.

Answer 5

Well we all know what this about don't we?



Trying to appease Clinton supporters from drifting over to McCain so your man will have a better chance of winning with your sugar sweet words is making me puke!!



Don't insult peoples intelligence, just say what you mean!!!

Answer 6

It's almost time. Let Hillary have her big wins in WV and KY. After that, Obama is going to close the gap. I agree. Way too much has been made on the differences between Hillary and Obama. They really aren't that far apart on most of the issues. It's time to unite the party.

Answer 7

Let the healing begin so the Democrats can move into the White-House. AMEN

Answer 8

Clinton supporters are the losers. The winners don't have to do anything for the losers. The losers should do for the winners to get into our good graces after the way they conducted themselves.

Answer 9

yes--the obamites hands are extended.



we are ready to unite to defeat mccain and leave the bitterness of the primary behind.



but first, hillary has to restore faith in the white voters that are too afraid to vote for a black man--she can reach them--but will she try ... in earnest?

Answer 10

Wait.... Let her find the means to pay off her $20 millions in debt. Poor girl. I'm beginning to empathize with her now. She may have to ask Obama to help her pay it off.



But, Obama is my man, from the very beginning.

Answer 11

Senator Clinton is an honorable woman, and anybody that is negative regarding her can just grow up!

Answer 12

You still are going to lose a heck of a lot of Hillary supporters to McCain. Your speech is nice, but it is pure pandering.

Answer 13

Answer 14

Isn't it time for the Clinton's to retire? Enough is enough.

Answer 15

Isn't time you stop counting your chickens before they hatch?
