Hey Hillary! I Like Starbucks.

I never thought I would see the day that a campaign for a democratic candidate would refer to the people in her own party as "Latte Liberals."

I always figured that something like that would be a right wing smear tactic. Then came that magical night in Texas when Hillary was introduced by a closet neo-con. My whole opinion of her and her campaign changed immediately.

Since then I have heard that phrase from her campaign repeatedly. At first it would really offend me. Now, not so much. I proudly call myself a "Latte Liberal" I thought that is what a big part of what this party was about.

Intelligent conversation and Progressive attitudes.

So, now I have a question. How far to the right do you have to be to start referring to people as "Latte Liberals?"

Obviously, you can't be a progressive and get away with it. You would be a complete hypocrite. I know Hillary proudly thinks of herself as a centrist. That is no mystery, at least not to anyone who pays attention.

How far to the right has she moved? How does she continuously get away with insulting half of the Democratic party and still remain a viable candidate? If McCain came out and called half of the republican party "trailer park trash rednecks" he'd be done. Sorry if I offended any trolls with that one.

Hillary supporters on here keep saying that Obama is the one tearing this party apart. I have news for you. Obama has never insulted the people who support Hillary Clinton. I have never heard anyone in his campaign make a disparaging remark about the Hillary people.

I have however heard Hillary, Bill and most of her surrogates repeatedly insult Obama supporters. Every week it's something new. It's getting to the point where I find it hard to even picture them as Democrats. Since when do we eat our own? That is not "just politics."

It's rotten. It's wrong. It's Republican.

So, I will continue to support the ONLY democrat still in the race.
Barack Obama.

I will continue to go to Starbucks as usual. They did get one thing wrong though. I don't like Lattes. I like Frappuccinos.
