100% Anti-Obama
I'm no longer just pro Senator Clinton. I am completely anti-Obama.
I want to thank his supporters out there - you crazy kids - for pushing me out of the party and helping me on my way to Independence.
Here's just a few reasons why:
The claim that anyone who won't vote for Obama is a racist.
The claim that anyone who won't vote for Obama is stupid. So stupid, in fact, despite record turn out in Florida the smart people stayed home because they knew their votes wouldn't count. So if we count Florida's results in total we are disenfranchising the brilliant people who disenfranchised themselves.
The claim that Michigan shouldn't get a full ride because Senator Obama (like his smart Florida supporters) disenfranchised himself by taking his name off the ballot and denying his supporters the opportunity to show their love. By the way, can I just say that again? HE TOOK HIS NAME OFF THE BALLOT. THERE WERE NO RULES THAT SAID HE HAD TO. WHY DIDN'T HE TAKE HIS NAME OFF FLORIDA'S BALLOT AS WELL?
The claim that the popular vote doesn't matter; it's all about super delegates. Hello? Were you just not alive in 2000? Did you never refer to President Bush as illegitimate because he lost the popular vote but won the because of the Supreme Court and the Electoral College?
Here's a new one I adore. Puerto Rico doesn't matter because they can't vote in the General. I actually went over to the dreaded Huffington Post last night - I showered immediatly - and the mocking of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans was over the top. Memo to the Obamanation: there are more Puerto Ricans living in the US than in Puerto Rico. Way to help your man get in with the Latinos!
Holding the Supreme Court over my head as a reason to vote for Obama. You know what? Let them overturn Roe v Wade. Let it go to the states. Let politicians no longer have the excuse that it's the law and they can't do anything. Make them accountable. Make the young women who have always had a choice fight for it like we did.
Call me a sore loser. Guess what? I am. I am not only sore, I'm angry, I'm frosted like a cake, I'm disgusted. Telling me I want to take my ball and go home because I can't have my way. You betcha. My ball (vote) isn't just going home with me it will be going to the polls in November and pulling the lever for Senator McCain.
CORRECTION: Scott, one of our very smart readers (who should be on the rules committee) pointed out that Senator Obama could not have taken his name of the ballot in Florida. My apologies.
