Democratic Family Fight or a License to Hate?

C’mon guys. Really? Hillary lost, fair and square. Poll after poll shows that she attacked unfairly, she used fear(OBL in an ad, 3AM) and pandering (Gas Tax scam) as a means to win an election, which is anathema to truth loving democrats.

She surrounded herself with clueless sycophants and now, despite the math and facts on the ground, she continues to soldier on in a counterproductive effort to secure a democratic presidency. The same sort of myopic, old-world tunnel vision we’ve seen from the Bush Administration.

This is not about race or gender, this is about who is the better candidate. Hillary voted for the war, the Iraq War, the most consequential war we’ve ever been involved in. During the course of this campaign, egged on by her yes-men, we saw her go negative, trying to kneecap her undeniably gifted opponent with the kitchen sink. We’ve even seen her contemplate the nuclear option. You two might see a fighter, but I see stubborn megalomania.

And to say the media has been unfair? Have you seen the endless clips of Rev Wright on cable television, did you see the moderator for that PA debate, a former Clinton staffer, impugn her opponent’s patriotism? The last month and half has been really tough on the man that had the testicular fortitude to challenge Mrs and Mr Democratic Party. And win.

If we find ourselves unable to move beyond gender and race, let me say this. There are more white women in college than there are black males in college; there are more black males in prison than there are white women in prison. If we are going to waste our vote to support what we perceive to be the most disenfranchised demographic, then there’s no question who we should voter for: Obama 08. But if you use your head as well as your heart in the voting booth to cast a ballor for the best candidate, it still leads us to the person who ultimately won: Obama 08.
