New book shows Hilary got stabbed in the back by her own party and friends.

Yes she still holds her head up high....but at what price. Once Obama got the nod she knew what hte party and her "friends" had done to her. Yet she still worked her butt off helping Obama get elected. I wouldn't have done that. I would have said fine...you want him....do it without me. NOt becuase she lost but because of "how" she lost. Her own party and long time politican "friends" that she had helped in their careers and supported publicly over the years stabbed her in the back. Why help them? She comes off now as Bill's doormat and the Democratic parties doormat. No matter how nasty and disrespectful they both treat her she still supports them, helps them and takes up for them. Unhealthy relationships...the one with Bill and the one with the Democratic party. I just wish she would stand up for herself. Ya things got nasty on all sides during the campaign. I volunteered with Ron Paul's campaign...we caught all kinds of heck from all sides. Our signs torn down. Threatened. Harrassed. Banned from the national convention. Immature BS by adults. Lots of people need to grow up. Politics remind me high school ALOT.

Well that’s one way of looking at it, but on the other side of that coin it just shows that she believes in the Democratic party, and she is willing to shelve her own ego and do what is best for the greater good, as she sees it. Lets face it every day we see the integrity of our nation eroded away by politicians who are only looking out for themselves. We see it constantly. How many times a day on MyLot alone does someone complain about some politician screwing over the system just so that they can make money or get ahead. You cant accuse Hilary of that. She steps aside with grace and dignity. Even after the Democrats scorned her, she didn’t let that come between her and her belief in the party, and her hope for change for the better. Some politicians… and regular citizens for that matter have no threshold for forgiveness, and a belly full of fire for revenge. Not Hilary. She understands that she is a part of something bigger than herself.

THere is a line between believing in something bigger than yourself....and letting people walk all over you...take advantage of you, and treat you like dirt....which is what her "friends" did. I believe in something bigger than myself....but I would not have allowed myself to be abused that way. I am a human being and therefore I deserve to be respected as a human being....they treated did not treat her with respect or even dignity. Why stand up for a party that promotes treating people like crap? that is ok to do this is someone...especially after all they had done for her. They should have just gone to her as a friend and her .....listen....if you run we can't support you....we truely think you can't win. Instead of blowing sunshine up her butt and then stabbing her in the back. Why promote poeple who use those tatics? what is so great and wonderful about people who act like that? Don't get me wrong. The republican party does that same thing and behaves just as bad....That is why I dont like them either. These people are suppost to be the best and brightest we have in this country. Are they really? There is too much corruption, unethical behavior, and power hunger monsters in our elected offices....from both sides. I am tired of it. I won't support a party that supports that kind of ethics or behavior.

OH they not only "abandoned" her....they intentially let her believe they would support her, got her set up in the race, gave her money and then did everything they could behind her back to stop her. Why? That was a pretty wicked thing to do. It is one thing for another candidate to win the primary. The american public votes. They decide. But once Hilary told them she was going to run....they intentionally went out looking for someone else to put into the race to take her down. All the while smiling and acting like her friends. It was all over CNN yesterday about this....yet I have not heard one Feminist or Democrat call them out on this horrible behavior. Not one of them has called anyone out about it. By not speaking out....they are condoning the behavior. Which makes them inablers.

I think Obama planned on running....just not so soon. I think he was going to finish his term as Senator first. Get more experience and let the country get to know him. When he decided to run in the primary no one really knew he was and he did not have experience. But they did not want Hilary to win the primary so they talked him into it. From what I hear and from what the book is saying it took a lot for them to talk him into it. He thought it was too soon. But they finally convienced him to do it.

Lil, I guess my point is that instead of, "She worked her butt off for the party and for Bill for years," that should read, "She worked her butt off for the people and her country for years." If, in her opinion, that meant supporting one party over another I guess that was and is her choice. Annie

I am still wondering what in the world was going on in Edward head to run for president. He knew he had had an affair on his cancer striken wife and fathered a child with that woman. He had to know it was going to come out and kill him politically. Why are soooo many politicans take down for their inability to keep their pants zipped? As for Hilary. You know I am not a fan of her. But I honest to God for bad and sorry for her. SHe worked her butt off for the party and for Bill for years. She had helped make the political careers of some of the same people who took her down. And they stabbed her in the back on purpose. When she asked them about her running they should have been honest with her and said..."we love you but we can't support you. Bill is too big of a liability and we think he will cost you and the party the election.Please don't run." Then she could have made the decision to run anyway or back down but known what she was up against. Instead of being honest with her about how they felt they feed her sunshine of "oh ya we love that idea, please run, we will support you the whole way." Then turned around and intentionally found someone else to get into the race to bet her. Why put her through that? Why set her up to fail? Why work against her like that after all she had done for the party? Why let her blow millions of her own dollars on it? It was low. It was wrong. They should have been honest with her from the beginning. It is not like she just lost a primary.....her friends made sure she lost it all the while smiling to her face. As I said before with friends like that who needs enemies. I can understand that she honestly believes in the principles of her party. But what I can't understand is why she will stand by the individuals who did it to her. Or put herself into a position to take up for them. If she honestly believes in the principles of the party than she need to help and push forward poeple who are there for the ideals of the party and the back stabbing money hungry dishonest jerks that are there now.If they will INTENTIALLY set her up for failure and screw her over and she is one of their best friends who has worked tirelessly for them......what hope or faith can the rest of us have that they won't do the same thing to us. We can't. If we trust any of them as far as we can pick them up and throw them than we are idiots. If they did it to her than they WILL do it to us.

Are these the kinds of people you want promoting the democratic party? Do they represent its ideal, morals and ethics? DO they represent their people? I hope not...I know most democrats (average citizens)I know are NOT backstabbing, unethical, b*astards. But the people who represent them and tehir party certainly are. To be fair I have the same opinon of the republican party. But you know that.

Yep I remember that too....politics sure bring out the worst in a lot of people.
