I’ve been a little enthralled by this whole primary thing. By “enthralled” I mean “OMG! WTF is going on here?” I keep going to blogs better than this one to see what’s shakin’ and, quite frankly, I’m disgusted. You see, Clinton (the Mrs.) is being not-so-soundly routed, but she doesn’t want you to know that. She keeps going on and on about winning the popular vote. Except in her calculations she’s not counting something like 14 states (because they held caucuses and so they don’t count). Apparently, only 36 states1 (Plus Puerto Rico, which doesn’t vote in the general election) count [See Also Americablog's post from today]. Oh, and Michigan only counts if you don’t count the “uncommitted” vote- or if you put the “uncommitted” vote squarely in her column, because those that didn’t want to “commit” at that time were actually voting for Clinton. Either way is equally stupid. He’s not winning by a landslide, but Obama is definitely winning (if you don’t disenfranchise the voters in 14 states…mwahaha!!).
So, Sen. Clinton wanted a hearing so that Michigan and Florida could get their delegates seated (even though they all knew a while ago that Michigan and Florida wouldn’t “count” for the primaries). Of course, she only wanted them seated if she could get her votes as well as those that voted “uncommitted” (again because those were really Clinton voters in disguise and Obama wouldn’t have gotten any votes in the entire state). The delegates in both states came to a compromise (those for Clinton as well as for Obama)- but Clinton and/or her supporters didn’t like that compromise (see above about the whole no one in Michigan would have ever voted for Obama). So they went batshit insane. Of course, now they’re not going to vote for a Democrat at all and some fully intend to show Obama what-for by voting for McCain. Whoo-hoo!
The sickest part of all this bullshit isn’t Clinton herself, per se, but her most vocal online supporters. Those motherfuckers need smacked silly. They make my stomach turn. They don’t like Obama because he’s an angry black man, or he’s a black guy making sure the white woman doesn’t get ahead (because we all know how much power black folks have had in the history of the U.S.), or that his wife is an angry black woman. They go on and on about the sexism, but I have seen the most crude sexism leveled at Michelle Obama in the last couple of days. I realize that not all Clinton supporters are like this, but still these people are supposed Progressives and they act like this.
No, really. It makes my eyes bleed. Check out Taylor Marsh (she used to be on my blogroll- sadly she had to go) or that monkey-ass crazy Larry Johnson at No Quarter. Holy shitballs! I could actually give you a link to that one blog, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she’ll find her sanity after Clinton gets out of the race. HOPING. Not holding my breath.
Anyway, Clinton and her supporters rallied in Washington this past weekend in an effort to get Michigan and Florida fully seated. They were saying that 10,000 people were being bussed in for the event. However, the number was more like 200. Yikes. Bad weather keeping them away? Someone should have kept the more rabid Clintonistas at home- or at least away from cameras. Check out this lovely lady:[NSFW]
Geraldine Ferraro took some time out of her busy schedule to pen an op-ed for the Boston Globe. She wants to explain why women are up-in-arms about the Clinton campaign disaster and why so many supposedly Progressive women won’t be voting for Obama if he wins the election:
As for Reagan Democrats, how Clinton was treated is not their issue. They are more concerned with how they have been treated. Since March, when I was accused of being racist for a statement I made about the influence of blacks on Obama’s historic campaign, people have been stopping me to express a common sentiment: If you’re white you can’t open your mouth without being accused of being racist. They see Obama’s playing the race card throughout the campaign and no one calling him for it as frightening. They’re not upset with Obama because he’s black; they’re upset because they don’t expect to be treated fairly because they’re white. It’s not racism that is driving them, it’s racial resentment. And that is enforced because they don’t believe he understands them and their problems. That when he said in South Carolina after his victory “Our Time Has Come” they believe he is telling them that their time has passed. [Emphasis mine]
OH NOES! The Negroes are going to get revenge on us!! WE MUST. STOP. THEM. NOW!!
They’re starting to really grasp at straws for that win. And that’s disgusting. The further this primary goes the dirtier the Clintonistas play. It’s not bad enough to smell like Bushmongers, now they have to act like them. That’s foul.
Don’t worry, though. They’re voting for McCain if Obama gets the nomination. If they can’t have Bush in one form, they’ll take him in the other.
For the record, I once said that I was voting Kucinich no matter what. I’m standing by that if Hillary is nominated. I have no doubt that Ohio will go to McCain in the general. Or maybe Obama the Dem nominee will sweep the state- either way my vote won’t count for much. I haven’t cared for that woman since she moved to New York and ran for Senate. I looked at it as a grab for power- to keep herself in the lifestyle to which she’s become accustomed. Then she voted For the Iraq war. That was enough for me. Now she’s shown herself to be even uglier. Stomping her feet and using the whole “voter disenfranchisment” meme to get support. Gah! What the hell is that shit?
Notice that I didn’t say I was voting McCain. I’d stab my uterus with a hot poker before I’d vote for that one. But a lot of Progressive “feminists” would rather 4 more years of Bush policies and ultra-conservative, right wing religious fanatic policies than vote for that uppity black dude. Pitiful.
P.S.
The title of this post tells of what happens after I’ve ingested too much rancid bullshit from the supposed members of my own party. I really can’t stomach it anymore.
ALSO:
Check out Rush Limbaugh’s Operation CHAOS. It’s an effort for the dittoheads to get out and vote for Clinton because they believe she’ll be easier to beat in November. Mwahaha!!
Melanie Kerr is an Indiana voter we met over the weekend at the “Orchard In Bloom” festival.
She was looking forward to casting her ballot for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.
But she doesnât like Clinton.
She likes Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Sheâs a Republican.
So why was she planning on voting in Indianaâs open Democratic primary?
âI want to keep the primary going as long as possible,â Kerr said. âI want to keep a debate going between the two of themâ¦. Obama would have been untouched in my opinion if she didn’t stay in the race. Then her staying in longer and even longer than (her attacks) will be in people’s minds in Democratic people’s minds when November comes around.â
It isnât that Kerr thinks Clinton would be easier than Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, for McCain to defeat in the Fall. Itâs the idea that with Clinton âin there, that keeps the debate between them going and we get more, uh, more chaos.â [Emphasis mine]
