67. i'm new here to posting............
but have been a lurker since the '04 election when i believed that the obvious downward spiral of the country would cause the population to turn from bush in droves.
this one statement and tactic chosen by hillary seem to point out the corner stone of the obama argument against her...a change from as they have been washington politics.
is there really any difference between the republicans running infomercials suggestion that john kerry was a draft dodging coward and the clinton campaign suggestion it would be safer to vote for john mccain than to vote for obama if she were not the nominee?
i don't believe any perceived disrespect on obama's part toward hillary during the debates could outweigh the contention that the republican is the better option.
she has resorted to underhanded, dirty, dastardly tactics in the her fight against the inevitable.
and having witnessed much venom from the clinton side to the obama supporters, i must say that i am new to the obama camp only in the last three months. up to now i believed that the clinton glow would be enough to stop any prospective republican candidate. then after having seen obama campaign i thought the two of them would be the best bet.
but as her campaign began to falter and the writing was on the wall, i thought it was obvious they would join up and take the party forward together.
what she has done in the passed 2 weeks to take him down, through the 3am add, and the mccain endorsements displays her mentality to win at all costs rather than consider what is best for the good of the party and the thus the good of the nation.
that she would prefer a president mccain over a president obama, that she is willing to suggest super delegate overturn obama's delegate and vote count to tip it to here echoing bush vs. gore enrages me.
the good democrat and proud liberal in me say i would still check her name if it is the nominee in november because i don't the republicans to win, but it angers me that it would be because would metaphorically have driven the car off the road, killed the passenger and then got a job as a school bus driver.
this is the warning we all got a year ago when the democrats were warned that she cannot win because she is too negative and polarizing. that hillary has emerged and is wreaking havoc in the democratic party though blooding the best hope at new voters, black voters, young voters, affluent voters, etc.
bitch may be new black but people forget, NOBODY LIKES BITCHES.
