Angry Hillary Clinton Supporters Need To STFU or GTFO!
I watched the Hillary Clinton speech (linked above) at the DNC last night and I was a bit concerned about how this would all go over, because if you listen to the media, there is a major riff in the Democratic Party, and now is NOT the time for such things. For Senator Clinton's part, she was fabulous. Now, if only her supporters would get behind her and their party.
While I am clearly leaning towards Barack Obama at this point in the race, I am still open to seeing what the next couple of months with reveal. I do not dislike McCain, I do, however, dislike his slimy, over-the-top negative ads. Instead of turning me, a centrist independent, towards him, McCain's poorly crafted and hastily thought out ads are driving me further away. I don't want comparisons to celebs or mindless attack ads. I just want to know where the man stands on important and fundamental issues. That's it, that's all I want to hear about, read about and understand. The rest is just noise.
Now, as for the whole Hillary/Obama controversy, I blame the angry, selfish, and teeth-gnashing delegates and crazed supporters of Hillary for NOT LETTING IT THE EFF GO. I am sorry your candidate didn't win the nomination or get the VP nod. It sucks, believe me, I have had to live for 8 years under the Bush/Cheney legacy of failed leadership. I honestly can't remember a time when I have felt MORE insecure as a citizen of this nation, as I have with these two men running the country. I didn't vote for them, but alas, I am still a citizen of the U.S. and I pay my taxes, follow the rules and respect the law of the land regardless. I am proud to be an American - in spite of who the other side of the aisle put in charge.
