Reply #58: I'm undoubtedly part of the problem

[leftofthedial]

I don't agree with much of what Clinton espouses. I don't trust her. I am appalled by her record on the invasion and occupation of Iraq and even more by her doubletalk on her record since she started running for President. I do not like her record on protecting our civil liberties from the attacks of recent years. I abhor her pro-corporate, anti-worker positions. She has danced and hemmed and hawed and dissembled and triangulated so consistently that I just do not believe her anymore. I think she is a professional politician first, foremost and always. I think she has run a terrible campaign through arrogance, lack of leadership and crony incompetence. I certainly don't hate her. She's better than McCain or any other repuke. But she's not the champion of Democratic ideals I once hoped she'd be. Quite the contrary.

BUT I AM OUTRAGED that I am called "sexist"--repeatedly!--because I don't support Clinton.

I am not really a fan of Obama either, but at least when I criticize him I'm not descended upon by a pack of ravenous Obama wolves shouting "racist!"

I deeply regret the rancor between the two camps that has characterized this site and GD-P in particular. I wish I'd done more to help. :shrug:
