If You Don't Vote For Hillary In The General

[ruggerson]

(assuming she wins the nomination, which is by no means a foregone conclusion)..

Everyone with Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis and scores of other diseases which WILL get stem cell federal funding under Hillary, has reason to despise you and your mindless selfishness.

The family of every woman who dies during a back alley abortion in a state that criminalizes abortion after Rudy or Romney appoints the final judge to overturn Roe V Wade has reason to despise you and your selfishness.

Every gay and lesbian couple who will continue to be second class citizens under the law has reason to despise you and your selfishness.

Everyone who cares about the environment and global warming and the future of the planet for our grandkids has reason to despise you and your mindless selfishness.

And the list goes on and on and on.

Go ahead and interpret this as flame bait. You couldn't be more mistaken. I'm just, frankly, totally pissed off at the stupidity of people here who scream "corporatist" and "DLC'er" at Hillary (many of these same people, you will note, continue to defend Hugo Chavez as he systematically destroys the freedom of the press in Venezuela). You don't have a FUCKING CLUE what a "corporatist" is, it's just a buzz word that you toss around to enable you to come up with a reason to explain why you wouldn't vote for a center-left, vastly intelligent, tough minded woman over some rightwing tool.

The name of the game in '08 is the Supreme Court. It will affect all of us for generations to come. If you don't vote for Hillary because you cling to some brand of far leftwing purity, you are basically telling mankind, your brothers and sisters, to fuck off.
