Just trying to be honest here. There have been days when I have felt like we've been going at Hillary a bit too hard. After her pathetic moment last week in front of the cameras, I had a SPLIT SECOND where I actually felt SORRY for her. Almost protective. I don't want to see any woman being publicly humiliated.
But EVERY TIME I start to feel that way or that maybe I haven't given her a fair shake, she does something underhanded and it makes me ANGRY. Accusing BARACK OBAMA of being an ELITIST is OUTRAGEOUS. He just paid off his student loans a couple years ago! He made $12,000 a year working with poor in Southside Chicago! SHE was on the board of WAL-MART. SHE is worth $109 MIL. SHE has spent the past 30+ years in politics, living in the Arkansas Governors Mansion to the White House to multiple exorbinant homes as a Senator. And she is calling HIM the elitist for finally articulating EXACTLY what I am feeling?!?! It makes my blood boil. I am bitter. I am angry. And I am NOT alone.
She is DAMAGING OUR INEVITABLE NOMINEE. She is damaging our chances to take back the White House. That is UNTHINKABLE. I personally CANNOT live another 4 years under a bush-mccain regime. ANYONE that stands in the way of that is in my cross-hairs and will be the target of attacks.
What's more, the nastiness of many Hillary supporters just irks the hell out of me. The other day I responded to an Obama supporter's post re: the Lewinsky scandal by saying that I thought his topic was inappropriate and unfair to Sen. Clinton and that we should try to focus on relevant issues to THIS campaign. It was an attempt to keep our side of the street a little cleaner and maybe reach out to the Hillary supporters. I immediately received a reply from a certain nasty Hillbot bashing me and all other Obama supporters. Even when you try to be nice, or defend Sen. Clinton, or raise the level of discourse you are attacked. So tell me, what is my motivation for even trying to try?
It all makes me want to put my head through a plate-glass window. A few weeks ago, maybe I could have heeded the call and backed off. But as far as I am concerned, she is an enemy to our inevitable Democratic Nominee. She is blocking our path to victory. She is now on par with the Republicans in my mind - and she has brought THAT on herself with her nastiness.
