Hear Me Shout!

Now don’t get me wrong here, I voted for Hillary in the primary election, I saw her speak in Springfield… I supported her campaign. But Goddess damn it I’m a democrat! I fully switched my support to Barack Obama and I expected everyone with half a brain to do. To my surprise, people are actually thinking of voting for McCain? Well ,I have finally found someone that put all my thoughts into their blog, therefore saving me a very very long rant. You should check these girls out at http://politicalbitches.wordpress.com

Here’s an excerpt:

“Hillary Clinton’s a big girl. She’s over it, she’s lived to fight another day, and she’s being responsible and intelligent by vehemently endorsing the candidate who best reflects her opinions while you disgraceful bastards smear her hard work by giving a bad name to Clinton supporters everywhere. You’re detracting from her credibility with your cheap kindergarten antics. You’re doing a disservice to the woman you so tenaciously admire. But you know something? You’ve proven that this isn’t about her. It’s about you— it’s all, always, been about you. You care nothing for Hillary Clinton. You care nothing for the issues with which the next 4 years will be shaped, you care nothing for the elections or the consequences. You care only for yourself. Because no one, regardless of political affiliation or belief, consciously chooses to support their candidate’s enemy purely out of spite if they aren’t entirely and completely self-important.

And here’s the truth no one else seems to be saying: it just doesn’t fucking matter. You think the primary season was unfair? Why, because Florida and Michigan FUCKED UP and the DNC actually went through with their warning? Or because you believe sexism reared its ugly head and that’s why she lost? Maybe that’s true, but you know what’s worse than mixing sexism and politics? Selfishness and politics. Your “my feelings before our country” attitude is sickening. You sad little fucks are flocking to John McCain with a rallying cry that might as well be “I love myself and my own hurt feelings more than the troops, more than the wellbeing of the economy, more than THE SHIT THAT REALLY MATTERS.” And I cannot even begin to detail precisely how nauseating and pathetic that is. I am disgusted to even live on the same continent as you. If you want to sob over Clinton’s defeat, go ahead. Cry into a pillow and blare Death Cab for Cutie like a normal person. But don’t you dare jeopardize this election and this country with your painfully self-righteous, self-centered little agenda. It’s revolting.”

Damn right!
