I have never seen so much political drama in my life since I developed a burning hatred for Hillary, and turned my support to Obama.

Honestly. I used to be a huge Hillary supporter. HUGE. I voted for her in NY and I was hoping she would run for President. Right before the official announcement, I started to get iffy about her, but I was still pleased when the official announcement was made. Every day since then, I have hated her, more and more as time went on.

Yesterday, a friend told me that I was betraying women and that I could no longer call myself a feminist because I chose to put my support behind a man. I let her know that the only anti-feminist within our discussion was her, and her attempt to oppress my views and force me to put my political support by someone I do not believe in just because she has a vagina.

Today another friend told me that if Obama doesn’t get the nomination, and I don’t vote for Hillary, that I am a hypocrite and shouldn’t vote at all.

I am NOT a democrat. When I first registered to vote, yes.. I did register as a democrat. I was 18. 10 years ago. I have since realized that I do not want to vote for a party. I want to vote for the best candidate who I believe will do the best job for this country as a whole, not just for me. While my choices do tend to run to the democrats, this isn’t always the case. Every candidate has views that I disagree strongly with. The only person who could ever match me 100%, would be if I ran for President myself.

California allows people to register as undeclared, so that’s what I am. I am not allowed to vote in primaries, which is silly, I think. There are states that allow everyone to vote in all the primaries, which I think would fit me well - I would vote for the best person in each party, IMO, for the job.

Anyway, if for some horrible, terrible reason, Hillary gets the nom, I will not be voting for her. Take away  my feminist card, call me stupid, lob personal attacks on me, I don’t care. I would rather see John McCain as our president than Hillary Clinton. I don’t know who I will vote for - yet. I will need to look deeper, but I will most likely vote Green - I do know that I will not participate in electing her, period.

Classy lady, ain’t she?

I really just wish she would shut up and go away.

I don’t even want her as a VP.

GO AWAY, PLS.

Did George Bush don a wig and dress?

I cannot remember why I thought Bill Clinton was awesome. He is a total douchebag.

I still don’t know where I will vote if Hillary somehow manages to get the Nom. I don’t see it happening, but on the off chance that she weasels her way in there, I was honestly considering voting McCain. I am not very fond of him, but I would rather eat my own feces than vote for Hillary at this point, and I don’t vote for a party. I vote for the best available candidate. I do need to check out Green and consider other options as well, but I will hold off until we have our candidates, officially.

Go away, Hillary.

Seriously. She has turned into supercunt. Shame on Obama? Shame on YOU Hillary. Shame on you for using your Husband as a prop for your campaign and then having a shitfit when folks criticize you (and him). Nobody is dragging your Husband into your campaign but YOU, so shut your trap when people decide to discuss him. Shame on you for going on the attack, and then pointing the finger at Obama when he responds to your accusations and attacks. Shame on you for turning this campaign dirty. Shame on you for pulling the “Cunty Woman” card instead of running a normal campaign. If you have to be a douchebag to prove yourself among the men, you are not ready to be the President. You should be able to stand on your own two feet without resorting to acting out to prove that you can do this even though you’re a woman, and if you can’t… I don’t want you in my White House.

I don’t know why I am surprised at the huge smear campaign being lobbed against Obama, but I am. Some of it is very subtle, but in my opinion the vast majority of it has been blatant fear-mongering, misrepresentation and outright lying. From Conservatives (most notably Bill Cunningham’s) repeated reference to Senator Obama as “Barack HUSSEIN Obama”, emphasizing Hussein,  to circulating photographs of him wearing local garb while visiting Kenya, to news writers continually misspelling Barack (seriously, his name isn’t Bill or Steve, but it’s certainly not a difficult name to spell!) to repeatedly referencing photographs of the Senator not holding his hand over his heart during the National Anthem (which BTW, I have never in my entire life done, either) I just find it ridiculous.

I am appalled that people actually look at all of this and are convinced that Obama is a secret Muslim extremist plant into our Government. I am even more appalled that there are people out there who have believed this all along simply because of the name he was given… at birth.

I guess I shouldn’t be shocked, but I am. Is it because he’s black? Would a White Christian candidate with a Muslim father and name have the same issues? I’m willing to bet that if he did, it wouldn’t run as deeply. It’s easier to finger brown folks as possible terrorists, and white people are certainly not going to point the finger at their “own kind”.

As for the attacks on his Church, and their mission … is our entire country really that ignorant? Has nobody been near a church that serves the people of a Black community before? I don’t find it in the least bit shocking or racist that a predominantly Black Church is going to focus their energy on the good of their own community, and I don’t think anyone else gave a shit either until it was Obama. I am going to go ahead and assume that Jewish congregations focus first and foremost on the Jewish community before anyone else, so are they also racist and terrorists? When a Catholic Church in an Italian-American neighborhood holds part of their service in Italian and gears their outreach toward that community, are they racist and un-American?

No.

I am bored with these idiots. I am disappointed in Clinton 1 and 2. I am surprisingly disappointed in McCain, who I actually liked and considered supporting for a short time.

So what am I doing about it?

I called 400 people over the past few days.
What did you do?
