Over the past 48 hours, I'm sure by now Hillary supporters are noticing a few trends. This ever so slight, hat in hand shuffling by the Obama campaign and its supporters, hoping to trick us into throwing our support behind him should he receive the nomination once and for all. The current mantra is, "I don't know how anybody could not support the party just because their candidate doesn't get the nomination," or "we have to all support the chosen candidate [of course they imply Obama] for the good of the party", etc., etc. etc. But, mere weeks, maybe even days, ago, Hillary supporters were, to name a few, "Old", "Out of touch", "Fools", "Whiners", "Bitches", "Ho's", "Cunts", "Sellouts", "Racists", "Crackers", "Wimps", "Spineless", "Weak-minded men"...you get the drift. If you can remember anything you've been called and you want to get it off of your chest, feel free to add it to the comments. We were told that their would be blood in the streets of Denver if Hillary "stole the nomination". Seeing as how the Convention in Denver is a Democratic Party convention, we should all safely assume that they had intended to spill the blood of Hillary supporters correct? Does that sound friendly or reasonable to any of you???? Something that should just be swept under a rug and all's well that end's well?
After all of the beatings that we've taken, the psychological warfare we've endured, the harrassment on the streets, yard signs ripped from our lawns and vandalized, being chased away from the big blogs--we are supposed to walk into a voting booth and tap Obama's name if the DNC foolishly hands him the nomination. I can only speak for myself and my own one vote, but that shit ain't gonna happen.
Why should party unity mean anything to me when the party isn't even willing to ensure that voters in Michigan and Florida and the remaining states have their say? The voters in Florida and Michigan didn't make the decision to change their primary date, so why in the hell should they have to suffer? Why does it seem the majority of Obama supporters are okay with them not being counted? No, the words "party unity" have no place in this primary season in this year. All of that has gone out the window for me and apparently it was never a priority for Obama supporters. I'm still holding out hope that Hillary can pull this off, but in the meantime, I'm researching even more about John McCain so that I can be ready to beat back any Obamazoids that might come my way should the nomination be "stolen" from her. Commenter, "oceans" made a very valid point about the SCOTUS appointments here on Thursday and I'm even more comfortable with the idea of voting for McCain should Obama receive the nomination now. Check that comment out in the last post.
I'm deeply disappointed in all of this. I truly am. This would mark the fourth time that I'd get to vote for POTUS and as I said here months ago, the first time that I was able to vote, Bill Clinton was the incumbent and I couldn't have been more proud to cast a ballot for him. Then, we all went through the anguish of the election in 2000 and I just knew that Al Gore was going to bring home the big prize, but look at how that turned out. Then, in 2004, against ALL ODDS, the idiot was returned to power and now we prepare to deal with this mess--Election 2008 and this seems like the worst situation that I've dealt with in all of my voting history. Dare I say, even worse than the 2000 election! It remains to be seen just how much worse this could all get.
I'm holding fast Hillary supporters, as I've tried to encourage you to do so over the past several weeks and as you all so kindly encouraged me to do so here this week. Now, let me drop a sweet, sweet, funky hit on you to help get you through the weekend. Get up and shake your booties!!! Gladys Knight and the Pips singing, "I've Got to Use My Imagination". We've got to "keep on keepin' on!" and I will most definitely be "using my imagination" if I have to go into that voting booth and vote for McCain in November. Oh yeah baby! "Keep on keepin' on!" --SUGAR
