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.

It's Deja Vu All Over Again

What's the difference between a George W. Bush supporter in 2000/2004 and an Obama supporter?

Nothing.

It doesn't matter what he does he is forgiven. It doesn't matter what he says, he mispoke. Nothing matters except with Bush it was, he's a great guy, I'd like to have a beer with him and with Obama it's he gives me hope, he's a new kind of politician, he was a great community organizer.

He's supposed to be so intelligent (as are his supporters) but he couldn't figure out how not to run ads in Florida before our primaries (breaking his pledge not to campaign here) with his National Ad Buy. I wonder, how many national ads had he bought before Florida and how many since? He couldn't get the name of the camp right that his Uncle liberated. He said his grandfather had buddies who talked about liberating Auschwitz. Really?

Was saying his uncle liberated Auschwitz a ploy to get the Jewish vote? Was it just he hasn't read any history? Or watched the History Channel? Is it the only camp he knows?

The "journalists" who covered the Memorial Day speech initially just reported what he said. If he said it it must be true! Doesn't he look hot in jeans? William Ayers is just a neighbor! Rezko? Who's Rezko?

We've been called racist, white, poor, uneducated, tobacco chewing idiots because we don't support the great one. We're stupid yet I knew that the Red Army were the ones who liberated Auschwitz. Then again, I watched all of Shoah.

We've had seven years of a President who doesn't know history. Can we survive another four?

Pro Choice

When this endless campaign began I was excited about our options for the Democratic nominee. I was proud that our choices included a woman, a Latino and an African-American. I liked that the stage didn't look like an all white country club.

I thought Bill Richardson would be great until I saw him debate. He was scatty Cathy.

I never really cared for John Edwards but I really like his wife.

I have great respect for Senator Biden and could never understand the lack of coverage on him. Had we done what he recommended in Iraq we would be out of the mess we're in now.

I was interested in Senator Dodd.

I was interested in Senator Obama because I really liked his speech at the Democratic convention in 2004 and his stance on Darfur.

Gravel & Kucinich - what can you say?

I wasn't sure about Senator Clinton. I thought she was too divisive.

The endless attacks on Senator Clinton has changed my mind. I have watched her handle more garbage than any other candidate has had chucked at him. She has proved to me that she can more than handle the job as Commander in Chief.

I am not voting for her because she is a woman. Nancy Pelosi is a woman and I cannot abide her. I believe that Senator Clinton is the most capable candidate in the race. We've got huge problems coming down the pike (peak oil) and whoever is our next President is going to have to make tough choices. Voting "present" will not fly.

The more I looked at Senator Obama the less I liked. He has run a dirty campaign. He has stolen speeches from his pal. He has unsavory connections. He went to a racist church for twenty years. He won't debate. His record in the Illinois State Senate is spotty at best. Community Organizer is not a qualification for President. His arrogance is bigger than his resume which is the only thing thinner than him.

The press has fallen in love with Senator Obama and have questioned him less than they did the reasons for the Iraq war.

So, we have been pretty clear on this blog that we do not support Obama.

The pro-Obama supporters come over here and try to hold my uterus above my head as a reason to vote for him should he get the nomination. (Odd visual) What they forget is that being Pro-Choice means that I get to choose whom I vote for and it won't be Obama. They tell me I'm not a Democrat. I was, but the persistent yapping telling me I can't be has forced me to become an Independent. No big tent here.

We're told that Senator Obama can win without us. Let's see him try.
