Test the memory of Clinton supporters.

Give it a test.

it's very frustrating.  I know that's an ugly side of this election that no one wants to see on their blog.

but it's real.  that's what, i call them morons, were saying.

That is the Obama movement.  that is the voters Obama can't risk losing because he's so unprepared in so many other ways, that he EMBRACES them.

I can't be a part of that.  i know i'm not supposed to judge obama by his supporters.  yes.  that makes sense.

But it is THE HATE TRAIN.  And I can't be a part of it.

If Obama wants my vote, and admittedly it is only one vote in a blue state, but if Obama wants my vote, he needs to make it clear to me that the, i'll call them morons, should NOT be voting for him in November.

I don't know how he can make that clear.

But that's the threshold for me.

I haven't skimmed Punditstan's sanctimonious eulogies of Sen Clinton's campaign yet.

I thought this essay by Rebecca Traister at Salon efficiently highlighted much of what we saw both from candidate and detractors. (Hillary's Final Curtain by Rebecca Traister, Salon, June 08/2008)

Now all the jerks who were throwing the rottenest vegetables at her for obscenely competing for an office for which she believed herself qualified -- and actually WAS -- are lavishly complimenting her ... on her newfound subservience.

Yep, the script now calls for her to turn over her accumulated wealth and work to the less qualified, less accomplished and less talented rival who couldn't beat her on his own merits.

But he ran a better campaign! isn't a big selling point with voters, IMO; it's like bragging he had the better bullsh!t. He had better marketing, fatter wallet and burned 3x the money to barely keep up. YEAH, that's who I want in office! Woo um, hoo!

Nor could he pass her on his own without Saruman Dems' hard-pressing a butcher's thumb on the scale and even shoving Sen. Clinton's hard-earned votes and delegates into his column.

Hillary Clinton earned my respect, loyalty and vote during her campaign.

Speaking as only one of her 18 million voters that fits into several of the categories that Club Obama would rather not be affiated with, it will be my lavish joy to watch them work, without my assistance, to get their guy into the White House.

And should he not get trounced as the most expensive landslide loser in history (IMO), get his back for four years.

My future participation will be to make sure that the political capital that Sen Clinton earned from ME isn't turned over to any individual or party that didn't deserve, merit or straight up earn it.

If the astro-turfers we've seen the past week are any indication, my non-compliance -- not uncommon apparently -- is being typified as spite, a standard motivation behind Chick Flick villainy (LMAO).

On that issue the hair-pulling and stomping has already started and has yet to explode into the kind of crescendo of another incomprehensible Keith Obamann finger-wagging, head exploding sputterfest.

If any of those feckin eedjits paid mind to the phrases Obama clumsily cobbled into his speeches, Club Obama wouldn't be trivializing non-compliance as an eye-rolling feminine device employed simply to p!ss them off.

They'd see it instead for what it truly was: a core principle of resistance and revolution. It's the heart and soul of peaceful resistance to longterm injustice and the core of civil disobedience through the ages, from Buddha to Gandhi to X to MLK and beyond.

It's been a staple of feminism forever; Cream City could give you cites and history to beat the band. Isn't it sad and funny that what Club Obama and their most visible proponent have been speechifying about ad nauseum, Hillary went on out and actually DID?

I'm Indy, I'm peaceful, I'm out of this political drudgery but one thing that I've realized now is that I'm a feminist for life.

I always have been but I said so less frequently in my life, not from shame, but because I didn't think that people who enjoyed my contributions and benefited so greatly from my efforts didn't need reminding.

But without a teleprompter, Obama sometimes is completely lost. Not just a little but completely.

Here's an example from this past week in Bristol, Virginia.

(I am awful at using the link software here, so this  will probably not work. If it doesn't, I encourage everyone to google "obama gaffe bristol virginia." You'll find it.

They want her led in chains during the triumphal parade. They want to see her stripped naked and forced to serve his wife as a slave.  They want her to suck his ....  

This election, more than any I've ever known, has been governed by psychological processes, rather than political ones.

It's about projections, and archetypes, and primal rage at women who cannot be controlled.

As Anglachel said, he wishes to ride into town on a Unity pony, sweeping to victory. But he doesn't want to examine at the fact that the Little Train Who Could chugged into town at 3 m.p.h. with bad engine trouble.

"Overshadowed" by a talented man indeed. Does this man ever work? Has anyone ever seen him work?  His Harvard Law Review career was distinguished by the fact that he was the only president never to have written an article. They passed a rule after he left that all presidents had to have written an article.  The only article, apparently, he has ever written was a co-authored one on health care.  The senior author was ... you guessed it ... Hillary Clinton.

Donna Brazile told us we were no longer wanted in the party.  Yet now they want Hillary to deliver  us as voters? Huh?

They aren't dealing with their contradictions.

Hill did the right thing. Get out of the way -- graciously, gracefully. Get out of the way, and let the little train go over a cliff.

I don't think a VP candidate ever saved a bad presidential one.  It's a waste of her considerable skills.
