If you are one of the few who read my random scribblin's here you already know I'm not particularly enthused by Senator Obama, and there's no need to rehash the various reasons here, but I do have one question for the supporters of Senator Clinton (Obama supporters are excused now).
Various exit polling done yesterday (such as here) indicate that a very high percentage, as many as half, of Senator Clinton's supporters say they will not vote for Barack Obama if he is the Democratic Nominee, some saying they'll vote for McCain and some saying they just won't vote.
My question to you over the hump...
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMNED MINDS??
Yes, I know there are large differences between Senators Clinton and Obama; he's got much more melanin in his skin than she, she squats to piss while he can write his name in the snow, his reproductive organs are convex while hers are concave...
On policy matters a fat gnat cannot fly between them, they literally had to make up shit to argue about. Oh sure, if Obama is President he's more likely to nominate an African-American for the Supreme Court while Hillary would be more likely to nominate a woman, but Obama might very well nominate an African-American Woman, so it's a potential wash.
John McCain wants Justices just like Antonin Scalia.
Let me say that again:
John McCain wants Justices just like Antonin Scalia.
Clinton and Obama both want to start pulling troops out of Iraq as quickly as they responsibly can; John McCain wants the troops to have and raise fucking grandchildren there.
Let me say that again:
John McCain wants the troops to have and raise fucking grandchildren there.
Both Clinton and Obama want to let the Bush tax cuts for rich folks expire; McCain wants to extend Bush's tax cuts for the rich.
Do I need to say that again??
Obama and Clinton both want something approaching universal health care, or as close as can be squoze through Congress; McCain wants to invent a tax credit that does absolutely nothing for the majority of folks who don't have health care because they can't afford it.
On issue after issue Clinton and Obama are within spitting distance of each others' position, and easily within the bounds of what most "Democrats" see as "forward".
On issue after issue, from abortion rights to the economy, John McCain is determined to drag us kicking and screaming back to the worst of the Eisenhower era.
I understand that if your chosen Candidate fails to win the nomination you will be bitterly disappointed, but you cannot let that lead you to doing stupid shit like getting new tattoos, moving to Myanmar or voting for John Fucking McCain!
And you Obama folks (yeah, I know you're there) wipe that smug look off your face, your exit polls in Indiana weren't much better...
Now, all of you, go to your room.
