A lot of you don't know me, I haven't written many Diaries. I know a lot of you though as I read your posts... Hi!
I'm at the end of my rope. Hillary is making me insane. See why over the bump...
Hi there...
I've just had it. Pure and simple. I don't understand this woman, in the least. I've been reading diary, after diary, blog page after blog page, Raw Story, HuffPost, Daily Kos, listening to Air America, NPR, watching Keith, and I don't understand what in GOD'S name she is DOING.
Can someone explain to me why Hillary is purposefully destroying herself??? And the Democratic Party??? And trying to take America down WITH HER???
Her politics are not making a lick of sense to me. She is offending EVERYONE I know. I mean EVERYONE.
She CANNOT win. The Math is NOT WITH HER. What on earth is she trying to DO?
She's frustrating me so much, it's like watching someone pour gasoline on themselves and setting themselves on fire. And forcing you to WATCH. It's ghastly. Why doesn't she quit, and quit it NOW before she embarrasses herself even more? She CANNOT win. We all know that. She is hurting our party. I am beginning to think she's sticking with this to try and drive our party asunder, to harm us, to fracture the party because we are having to wait so long for an outcome that is obvious, a brokered deal. I wouldn't put it past her to run as McCain's VP if Obama gets the nomination. She's totally power mad. She lies about Obama, she lies about the value of various states (meaning she lies about the people of those states, the VOTERS), she lies about her experience. I'm just sick of her.
Sorry... ok, this is a vent diary. But I'm here and a member of this community, and I really do care about this election, and I'm really, really, really concerned about the outcome. I had to vent. There are no links in this, because this is my own opinion. This whole campaign cycle is really making me very, very, very, very, very upset. I've never felt like this in an election, but I do this time. And it's Hillary's fault.
I've worked on political campaigns, including the Clinton inauguration, I've worked for environmental movements, including the Anti-nuke movement - and will let Obama know how I feel about this, but I've never seen the hubris I see in the Hillary campaign, or the cynicism I see in her husband. It's time for them to STOP. I mean really just STOP this. It's no longer a regular campaign, it's gotten really ugly against a guy who has been a gentleman. This is beyond anything I can stomach anymore, and if she pushes this to the point that she forces the super-delegates to vote for her against the will of the people then she will have successfully caused millions of young people to never want to be involved EVER again in the political process. That is a crime... against democracy.
Hillary!!!! STOP THIS NOW!
This is my opinion, this is not a "hit" piece. I'm at the end of my rope. I don't write a lot of diaries, but I'm just at a point where I must say how I feel. I feel sick. I'm over-wrought about this. I'm really tired of her political manipulations. She's making me want to have NOTHING to DO with my participation in government. And THAT is a also a crime against democracy.
I'm a person involved in an alternative community, I live in a cooperative, with 10 other households. We are actively TRYING to change how people do lifestyles. We are working on trying to employ permaculture techniques here on our ranch. We raise alpacas, we have a consensus commmunity that has existed for 27 years now. We drive a Prius, actively recycle, and try to make a real difference. Hillary Clinton is making me think that it's all fake. That it doesn't matter what you do, because no matter what you do, some politician with an agenda will come in and screw it up for the rest of us, while trying to look like they represent you.
Hillary does NOT represent me. I'm sorry. The person who really represents me is no longer in the race but the next best is Obama. He is NOT jaded so badly by history that he is completely jaded. He still believes that he can change things. He hasn't been "stewed in the juices of Washington" as he says in his speech. I think this is vital.
I don't know if he can deliver, but what I DO know, is that I'm sick and tired of Clintonesque style politics. And I'm really sick of her and her husband. It's time for a change.
And Yes... we can!
UPDATE: This is NOT satire, unlike what DemocraticLuntz thinks. This is really, honestly, how I feel. Why in god's name would this be satire?
