What Hillary Pivot?
by Dawleyman

John Dickerson correctly noted that Hillary's speech featured a litany of HER policy positions - not Obama positions or party positions, but HER positions, the ones us Dems could have seen championed in the next administration if only we had had the good sense to make her our nominee. As Dickerson said, it was all about her. As usual.

Hillary volunteered that she has been friends w/ John McCain for a long time and that she personally respects his service. Faint praise, perhaps, but I did not hear her say anything even that nice about anything she likes or respects about Obama.

Dickerson said Hillary pivoted after presenting her long list of reasons we should have voted for her in the primaries. Maybe, slightly, but too little and too late. The main message I got was that we will be getting second best if we vote for Obama, and that it will be completely understandable (and acceptable) if we choose not to cast that vote. Not close to being what she could or should have said to unify the party. No kudos from me.

those Hillary-hating Obamatrons that would not have been satisfied with anything short of hillary giving Obama a blow job on stage. She just gave up her delegates to Obama, by the way, and so piss off.

let me use the Gatewood nic when I began posting again and so I switched back to demcon. I might eventually do the necessary work to retrieve it. But it's no big deal.

Welcome back. I missed your "piss offs" and your "so it goes[s]." Or however you pluralize so it goes.

This "Obamacrat" gave $25 to Hillary last night in gratitude for her effort to move forward and help effect the policies she supports by supporting Obama.

"This 'Obamacrat'...."? Good grief! Do you ever listen to yourself? And Obama supporters wonder why He is sarcastically called the Messiah and they are called his disciples. It looks more like he's a cult leader and they are his followers if you ask me. Do your legs tingle when you hear The Great Obama speak?

Did you happen to notice the quotation marks around "Obamacrat?" They were there for comic effect, because the person I was debating with tends to call those of us who support Senator Obama either "Obamacrats" "Obamabots" or "Obamatrons."

You read a whole lot into my post that wasn't there. Perhaps you should listen to yourself sometime.
