What the HELL is wrong with you people?
I'm an Edwards supporter turned Obama supporter, but the INSANITY of the Hillary Hatred around here is gonna drive me right through the door any minute now. Oh, it won't be GBCW - the primaries will end SOMEDAY. And hopefully Obama will keep up his momentum and win. But all these self-congratulatory Hillary Hating diaries AND front page stories condemning a still REMOTELY possible Democratic candidate are too much. And sad and tiresome.
If she hasn't already, Hillary will probably lose. So what's the point of TWISTING and TWISTING and then FURTHER TWISTING the freaking knife?? Is there a prize at the end of the Primaries for the Kossack who can hate Hillary with the most spite and vitriol? I hope it's a FABULOUS freaking gift!
I only got a little more if you're up for it -->
Hillary has indisputably run an ugly campaign that is ALREADY FAILING without our pledges to withhold our support. But our pledges to withhold support from her in the General, if they gain traction outside of DailyKos, will condemn this country to at LEAST four more years of BushCo Politics. The website is here for the SOLE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING THAT SCENARIO! We support Democrats, even the not so good ones if they are our only choice. Hillary probably WON'T be our choice, but driving wedges BEFORE that is certain is MADNESS!
I'm a gay man fast approaching 40. I won't be sent off to any war zones, nor do I have any children who might be forced overseas. But I DO have a niece and nephew who are gonna be near an age to head overseas when McCain finishes inflicting 4 more years of BushCo onto the world. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING should be done to avoid his Presidency. Swearing allegiance against ANY Democrat runs COUNTER to that end goal. It's just that simple!
I have NO ISSUES with promoting Obama around here, but the Hillary Hatred is threatening to bring this site to a screeching halt. Why aren't we hitting McCain with the same vigor with which we hit Hillary? Why haven't we heard anything about McCain sleeping with a lobbyist of late?? Vicki Iseman anyone??? Sure, Ferraro's comments were disgusting, but rehashing them endlessly gives her JUST the publicity she's asking for. WTF!!?!!??
Within a couple of months AT THE LATEST, we are going to have to come together. I hope with EVERYTHING I have that it's Obama. But slaughtering Hillary OVER and OVER and OVER is the Republican's job. Let's leave that to them.
Finally, if you think that Hillary's Primary attacks are ANYTHING like what we'll see from McCain, you're deluded. If her attacks work, and I don't think they will, then maybe Obama's chances in the General WOULDN'T have been that great to begin with. He's weathering this fine, and to think her attacks might knock him down is to underestimate his abilities in the General.
