61. I'd rather you'd admonish your fellow Obama supporters...
...to act more graciously because it's the right thing to do -- and not because you "will need them come this summer and fall."

I'm not singling you out -- I just want you to see how it looks through the eyes of a "non-believer"; i.e., "We'd better be nice to the Clinton supporters from now on, because we need their votes (and money!) for Obama."

That's what the Dem Party has been doing to queers for years. That's why it stands out to me so clearly: I'm accustomed to getting my teeth kicked in clear through to the back of my skull -- and then, at the eleventh hour, it's all "Let's make-nicey-nice! We didn't really mean all that shit we piled on you all these months, and, oh, by the way, we could use a few extra dollars (MasterCard accepted!), and we can count on your vote... right?"

Call me the ultimate cynic, but that's how it sounds. I suppose because that's how it is.
