9. Hey this is really cool. It proves how awful Hillary is and how we can't win with her
Since DU is such an accurate reflection of how mainstream Democrats feel, I'm gonna run out and re-register as in Independent so I can vote for Bloomberg if he runs against Hillary! I mean, why should I vote for that loser, Hillary?

Dam she's pretty.

the GOP agenda. So I wouldn't trust him as far as I can throw his puny ass.

16. How can you say Bloomberg?? We do not know where he
stands or how he plans to deal with any issue.

Even Lou Dobbs Independents question Bloomberg's Eliteness.

22. This poll just goes to show how many weird people there on DU.
They'd vote for a Rethug even though they don't know what issues he stands for. Obviously they don't even give a damn who gets the next 3 or maybe 4 supreme court justices. I think maybe I'm on the wrong site. Is this Free Republic?

24. I have asked myself the same question many times.
At times, there seems to be very little difference between the Freepers and DU when it comes to the Clintons. It only makes me work even harder to help elect Hillary!!!

Screw the extreme left and the extreme right!!!!!!!

28. Yes, DU has turned out to be infiltrated with EXTREMELY far left wingers &
activists who have an agenda to stop Hillary and they're all here. This place used to be enjoyable but now it's often sickening and pathetic. It's hard to believe these hateful people are fellow Democrats. Some have the same character traits as a Republican. I don't mind people criticizing Hillary...but too many are just over the top and they stoop toooo low. They must stay awake at night LOOKING for something hostel/nasty/disparaging to post. It's bad enough to have so many MSM attacking her but to witness it here at a Democratic site too is really disappointing.

32. You nailed it, Auntie
DU has unfortunately become a magnet and breeding grounds for all the extremist losers in the country. It's now well-known among the online political community that if you hate the Clintons, then this is the place to come and get your anti-Clinton rocks off. I suspect with good reason that there is also a growing number of extremists from the Right Wing who have infiltrated and infested the forum in recent years and who cloak themselves as supporters of another candidate.

Like you say, it's disappointing. Fortunately, though, in the real world world the extremists from the right and left cancel each other out.

33. Thanks, for agreeing mtmsnake. It's almost suicidal to post anything positive about
Hillary so I don't. I just try to point out the injustices and try to defend her and say good tings about BIDEN. Awhile ago you couldn't even do that around here. I posted once that I thought he'd make a good President or Vice President. You'd think I was recommending the devil the respomse was so vitriol. So I dared not do that again till the last few months now that he's considered acceptable. God help us if we said anything negative about Edwards or Obama. The whole roof would fall in and bury us alive...so I don't.

I think Hillary's getting a bums wrap being attacked like Bill was hounded during his 2 terms. Now DEMOCRATS carry that torch. It's hard to believe and it's upsetting! However, it just make me more inclined to vote for her.

As I said earlier...it's OK to criticize Hillary about anything, but it should be done honestly and fairly with facts...and there are plenty to use...no need to make up reasons.

Lots of people won't vote for her because of all the hostility it will cause between the parties and country. But I think it is unfair for a candidate to lose the presidency because the other guy/side is too nasty. That makes them the WINNERS and I'd rather rub it in their faces and make them feel the same hatred we feel about 8 years of bush*. They deserve it! I also look forward to the day Bill will be back in the white house offering his perspective on world affairs and building up our image around the world. He also has a new perspective after being out of office and nearly dying. That usually gives one better judgment. I think he'd help another candidate but not as much as he'd help his own wife...and he owes her, big time!

46. Yup, I remember those times with Biden around here
I remember saying a long time ago how I couldn't understand why he was so disliked here, and the roof almost came off this place, yet nobody could really come up with anything concrete as to what was so wrong with him. It's nice that people are finally realizing that Biden is just as much presidential material as anyone, maybe even more so. Only problem is, because of Bush and his atrocious two terms in office, lots of people do not want to even consider anyone who's been around as long as Biden has. They're so sick of Washington politics, they want a brand new face. They would rather take a chance on someone else who hasn't been around so long. That's a shame because Biden has the experience and he also has a vision for change.

I also look forward to the day Bill will be back in the white house offering his perspective on world affairs and building up our image around the world.


Half this place would have a collective coronary!

BTW, it's never hard for me to agree with you, Aunti Bush. I've always enjoyed your input and wisdom.

47. Extremely far left-wingers on DU =the Democratic party of the 70s and 80s
pro-healthcare solution that benefits citizens
pro-union
anti-corporate
pro-small business

with added issues of LGBT rights and pro-choice.


Where's the EXTREME left wing you're talking about? Who's calling for the abolition of private property? Who's calling for the return of stolen wealth to the proletariat? Do you even know what the EXTREME left is?

You do know that our most EXTREME left candidates are moderate or even conservative candidates in Europe, right?

I'm sick seeing these right-wing talking points used against solid, standard Democrats.

30. He sure as hell isn't democrat.
Didn't have the balls to run as a Democrat in NYC. Now he's an "Independent". Bullshit. His lips were attached to Rudy's ass to get elected.

And let's not forget the dog and pony show in 2004 aka the GOP Convention in NY.

Sound like a republican to me.

He can go to hell.

He was a lifelong Democrat until changing parties to run for mayor. Now he is an independent. The guy's just not a partisan.

Man, I don't like Clinton or any of the senators running, but Bloomberg? You've got to be fucking kidding me. This is the guy who proposed selling bridges in New York. His whole life is about money.... I guess people who would vote for him over Clinton would have her as a second choice, because they love corporate politics but just want to cut out the middle man. *sigh*

34. I don't know yet. I was speaking with a Kucinich supporter in Iowa this morning.
And he said that if Hillary gets the nom, he would vote for Bloomberg.
That surprised me.

I will have to do some research on Bloomberg before I decide.

48. Bloomberg is a Guiliani who cares about healthy food and the environment.
He's an anti-union, big-business thug. And that's coming from an ex-NYer who lived under him.
