Let's Not Give Up on Hillary

[SeaLyons]

Thought it a good time to post this...I'm sure it's been posted before, but I read it again this morning and wanted to share:

State Package for Hillary Clinton

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may tread me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise.

This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits' end, but she has always risen, always risen, don't forget she has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.

Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.

There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you're born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies. Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to be what it can become.

She declares she wants to see more smiles in the family, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. She is the prayer of every woman and man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.

She means to rise.

Don't give up on Hillary. In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country the wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.

Rise, Hillary.

Rise.

1. I wouldn't even consider it. The hot air balloon is deflating and it

won't be much longer before the rats begin jumping ship (Kennedy and his friends.)

The Richardson thing was a last ditch effort to prop him up. There will be a few more of those to give people the impression that he is the winner, kind of like Bush's "mission accomplished" hijinks. Remember how the press trumpeted that one.

7. I wouldn't even think about it. There is literally NO alternative.

BO can't win, and McCain? Let's not even go there.

10. I haven't and I wont. In fact, I just sent her another campaign donation.

11. There is no way in hell I'm giving up on Hillary

I am in to win.

[NoPasaran]

12. No way I am giving up

I haven't posted much lately, both because of the insane hatred on DU but also because I am very involved in the real world nuttiness that is the Texas convention system, now headed for round two this Saturday.

Raise Hill!

Texans always move them!
