Enough is enough. Enough with Hillary getting to decide which states matter. Enough with Hillary getting to decide whether it's the momentum or the math that matters. Enough with Hillary getting to move the goal posts, change the rules.
It's time Barack Obama got in front of a microphone and said the following, "Senator Clinton, if you think you're momentum is so impressive, MEET ME IN MISSISSIPPI!"
more below...... (this is going to be rant. Live with it)
Give Senator Clinton credit. As much as she's complained about her treatment in the media, they have lapped up her viewpoint on which states matter and why, despite the fact that her rationale has changed repeatedly throughout this campaign. But enough is enough.
What happened yesterday is history. Whoop-de-doo. She won 8 more delegates than he did. Obama did better than in little old Washington DC. He did better than that in Idaho. He did better than that in Utah. Whoop-de-doo. Last time I checked, Obama has more pledged delegates, and, unless the superdelegates want to throw all of us and the party under the bus and sacrifice 2008, that will decide the nomination.
Enough with talking about seating Florida and Michigan. You want to have a revote? Bring it the F On. You want a caucus, we'll caucus. You want a primary, we'll GOTV like you could only effin dream about. Enough. You agreed to these rules, now live with them. If we can't trust you at your word here, why should we ever trust you?
You and your race-baiting disaster of a husband were willing to throw your most loyal supporters under the bus in South Carolina, right? Remember all that absurd Jesse Jackson stuff? Remember talking about Senator Obama's work in the streets of Chicago as if he was some street punk? Remember all that? You made a calculation. You said, we'll marginalize him as the black candidate. If that's what it takes to win the nomination, so be it. First Black President, my ass. Like everything else, that was bullshit.
Lots of us on this site and in the party defended the Clintons. We defended them when Big Bill lied to all of us, to his wife, to his loyal Vice-President, and to the American people. We said, "Yes, he lied, but it's not an impeachable offense. Stop playing politics. President Clinton deserves better than that". We defended him when he pardoned long time donor Marc Rich. Oh, there can't be any connection between the fundraising and the pardon. No quid pro quo.
Well, defend you we won't any more. We want to see the tax returns. We want to see who is donating to your husband's library. We want to see details of your business dealings these last, long 8 years.
8 years that we've all suffered through, primarily, and I don't say this lightly, primarily because, despite the fact that you knew the Republicans were gunning for you, despite the fact you knew they were investigating you, despite the fact you knew you'd be under oath soon, despite all that, you couldn't control yourself.
People can debate the 2000 election until we're all blue in the face, but one thing is clear as day-- had you not been caught with an intern half your age, we would have had President Gore in the white house 8 years ago. Had you not been caught cheating on your wife, we would have had no Iraq war. We would have no absurd debt crippling our economy. We would have a better America.
The time has come. The time has come for you, Senator and President Clinton, to stand and fight. As much as you might like to think some states are more important than others, you don't get to make the rules.
You've lived your lives as narcissistic political animals who put their own ambitions and desires over those of their party, over those of their country. And you know what, now you need to face the music.
So, Senator Clinton, meet us in Mississippi, if you dare. You come down to Mississippi and hold town hall meetings, answer questions about your husband's comments about South Carolina, answer questions about why Mississippi isn't important, answer questions about why you were willing to take your most loyal constituency and thrown them under the effin bus because it suited your interests.
If you have the guts, meet us in Wyoming first. That will be a little taste of the ass-kicking you're going to get in Mississippi.
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. YOU WILL NOT TAKE THIS FROM US.
Yes We Can, everyone, repeat after me, Yes We Can.
