Temporarily stepping outside the Unity Bubble to VENT as an OBAMA SUPPORTER... |

I respect Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
I respect what her husband did for our party.
Their time is over. They can be graceful about stepping down or they can be nudged forcefully. But the Clintonian, DLC-type, corporate-controlled leadership of the Democratic party is becoming a thing of the past.
Thank God.
I watched that shameful spectacle of Hillary supporters disturb the proceedings numerous times, even when asked not to BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN SIDE. These people wanted to should "Denver!" and "McCain!" Leave then. Seriously. Take your fucking marbles and GO.
I'm starting to believe these people aren't true Democrats at all. They are Dixiecrats in the kindest, most favorable light. I have worked my ass off registering voters in three states. I have donated to both Sen. Obama's Presidential campaign as well as the DNC and two Democratic candidates for Senate. This is what most Obama supporters are doing. They are putting the party first. They are replenishing our national voter database with updated information. They are pounding the pavement, trying to get out the vote and registering a record number of voters across this country.
Oh yeah. And those hippie, commmie, latte sipping limousine liberals? Well they have been doing the heavy lifting. Confronting evil administration officials like Condoleeza Rice. Protesting this Iraq war. It was at an anti-war rally, as a matter of fact, that I first heard Sen. Obama give a speech.
Cause see, that's the sort of thing I protest. I protest immoral and illegal WARS. I protest WARRANTLESS WIRETAPPING. I protest Bush coming to my damn city and having the nerve to walk in our St. Patrick's Day parade. I protest CRIMINAL pRESIDENTS.
That's where my heart lies. With the downtrodden and the poor and the unprivileged and helping out my fellow neighbors. That's what I care about. But it's clear that a certain segment that has set up camp in this party doesn't care too much about those things. So, we have a dilemma. Are we going to call ourselves the party of Roosevelt and Kennedy... are we going to continue to embrace the intent and ideals behind initiatives like the New Deal? Or are we going to put the same people back in power that paved the way for the bullshit we're in now?
That's the choice. To those who want the latter, all I have to say is I'll see you in Denver and if you choose to vote for McCain or join the Republican party... so be it. Good riddance. Because you never gave a shit about your fellow man or your fellow neighbor anyway.
