Enough, Billary
I’m done with the Clintons. Bill may have been a better option than Bush 1.0, but I see their true colors in this campaign. I didn’t commit to supporting a candidate until recently, not because I had anything against Hillary but because the one who spoke with the most sense was Ron Paul. Now I can say I have something against the Clinton camp. Perhaps things would be more appropriate.I didn’t like the tone of her campaign because the mudslinging tactics remind me of the Republicans. Ted Kennedy supported Obama due to the Clinton campaign tone and now so has Bill Richardson. I love how James Carville had to call him a ‘traitor.’ It seems that Richardson was uncomfortable with going against the Clintons but at least he did what he felt was right, not what he felt he owed.Hearing about questions planted for some of Hillary’s public appearances disturbed me. What really bothered me was how her campaign shifted gears after her success in Ohio & Texas, suddenly suggesting what a great VP candidate Obama would be after spending weeks saying he wouldn’t make a good president. Their intentions are quite transparent - to get to the White House by whatever means necessary, everything else - including the fate of America - be damned. I wonder how much they had to pressure Even Bayh to suggest that superdelegates consider electoral college votes when making their decision. (note: I don’t like the electoral college. I think it values some votes more greatly than others, and I think it may be the one thing the founding fathers did wrong.) I wonder how much hell they gave Richardson to try to prevent him from doing what he felt was right.Last week Bill says that Hillary vs McCain would be great since both candidates ‘love America.’ Copiously praising McCain in the process, sounding like he’d vote for McCain if Hillary didn’t get the nomination. Today, Hillary beats a dead horse, finally sounding off on Obama’s pastor (He would not have been my pastor. You don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend”). The main motivation would be to keep the issue alive - which is plainly grasping at straws.ENOUGH. The Clinton’s are willing to do anything for the sake of power, keeping the attention focussed on the Democratic nomination while McCain bumbles around showing off his foreign policy acumen by not recognizing who’s on what side in Iraq. The future of America is a hell of a lot more important than the small chance that Hillary will actually get the nomination. Hillary, show us how much you love America. Concede and let us focus on getting a good person into the White House and making sure McCain doesn’t have a walk in the park for the next few months.
