COULD SOMEBODY RECYCLE THAT? THANKS!
Ahem, in case I've got anyones attention lets rant. So some people started a "writers strike" over here. I wasn't aware that the job of INTERNET punditry was a strike-able job, but fair enough. I always support the ability of folks to unionize. I just hope little income rests on us asking our Hillary diarists to come back.
Hop over the fold with me.
See, I have little against Senator Clinton. I think she would probably be an excellent commander in chief. We'll have survived eight years of an adult child running the country (fingers crossed). I highly doubt a slightly flawed highly educated woman who surrounds herself with the highly flawed could do any worse. I voted for John Kerry. John freaking Kerry. If no other viable option presented itself, I wouldn't even need my ritual "pre nose holding vote" Guinness to vote for her.
In any average year she would have won the nomination. Sadly she picked the year of Obama. Tough break. I hate to say "sorry 'bout yo damn luck" but...sorry 'bout yo damn luck.
So I've nothing against her. Fine Senator. She ran for President, going by basic math she's going to lose. Fair enough. If she could simply run her campaign (and I have no problem with her running it well past Pennsylvania) clean and we were debating issues I wouldn't care less. And I wouldn't speak out against her. Drag the damn infrastructure building machine all across the country and leave John McCain begging for airtime.
But she isn't willing to do that. And that, my friends, is why I find myself sitting here chucking empty beer cans at striking Hillary writers on a Saturday night. Because, allow me to be blunt, to hell with Hillary Clinton. Because she's damn well said to hell with the Democratic Party. A good Democrat would not undermine the possible party nominee. A good Democrat would not build up the Republican nominee for President. A good Democrat wouldn't keep pushing rubbish such as the idiotic Pastor story. A good Democrat wouldn't outright lie in the face of blatant truth just to try to steal a couple of states Delegates. A good Democrat would have already strongly and continuously rejected the idea of stealing pledged delegates the day such accusations were made. A good Democrat would not let her supporters attempt to hold the DNC up for money to get her way.
So, I'm sorry to those who are striking but right now I'm boiling blue mad at Hillary and it's been difficult to contain it. And it's probably going to keep getting harder and being contained less so if you can't live with that, I don't know what to tell you. Keep striking I guess, and Dailykos will somehow have to live without it's Hillary campaign diarists. All we can do is survive, I suppose. Heh.
