I have NO candidate in this primary - I am undecided.
I like Hillary, but feel she has moved too far to the center in order to help rehabilitate her image - "I'm a moderate! Really!"
I like Obama, but his McClurkin bullshit annoyed the hell out of me as a person with a lesbian roommate and bi-sexual wife - "I'm about raising the level of discourse! Really!"
I like Edwards, but his inability to get over the word 'marriage' is just lame - "I'm for equal rights! Really!"
I like all three of them, and will gladly vote for whichever one wins. But do you know what I am NOT doing?
Tearing down our own. Trying to mind-read the GOP. Voting based on who the GOP says they want. Worrying about whether a woman or black man can win the general. Letting anyone tell me to or scare me into voting for anyone.
Here's a novel fucking idea for you all to try:
VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE!
Stop saying Obama is inexperienced. Lincoln was pretty fucking inexperienced when HE ran and he guided us through our toughest time in history. One term in the US Congress and a few in the State Legislature. That's it. To hear people talk today, Lincoln would be a disaster of a candidate and President. -- Yes, I'm looking at you, Larry.
VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE!
Stop saying Obama can't win because the racists will keep him out. For every racist that comes out against him, a black person will come out for him - you will see an explosion in turnout among the black community beyond the norm, just as Richardson would get from Latinos and Hillary will get from women.
VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE!
Which brings me to Hillary. Stop saying she can't win because she's a woman, she's 'shrill', she makes insecure men lose their testicles, or whatever bullshit is being tossed around.
VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE!
Stop saying 'The GOP want X! We can't vote for X!' - I remember when they said they wanted Dean, and everyone thought that meant they were really scared of him. Now it's being viewed in different ways. They want Hillary because they can beat her, OR they're trying to psyche us out like with Dean, depending on whether you're a Hillary supporter or not. Now it's Obama getting the same bullshit. Color me surprised!
VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE!
Seriously, people. Stop the fucking bullshit. At the end of the day ONE of these people will be the nominee, and all you candidate-haters will either have to suck it up (which will be fucking lame - "Oh, I guess X is okay. My bad.") or you're going to hold your breath and throw a fucking tantrum that will make a 5 year old blush. If you're the latter? Fuck you. Go home. SOME of us want to elect a Democrat, thank you.
So bring it on - every one of you haters give me your reason why X will be the end of civilization if nominated and I'll destroy your stupid fucking talking point puke and tell you why you're wrong. Come get it out of your system. Then, we can drop this stupid shit.
I'm ready to elect a fucking Democrat.
