It's Over!

The 2008 Democratic Primary is over. Hip, hip, hooray!

Well, actually, it's been over for quite a while now. It's just been one melodramatic, anti-climactic and sniveling scene after another, while the media kept breathing life into the nostrils of the "competition." The appearance of Harold Ickes on Meet the Press yesterday morning was just another demonstration of everything that is bad about, and that has gone wrong with, the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

Acting and talking like a weasel, Ickes intoned nothing but drivel including the campaign reserving the right to challenge the seating at the convention. I kept wanting Tim Russert to slap him in the face and tell him, "Shut up you dork, it's over!" I know, with that kind of attitude I'm probably not on NBC's short list as a talk show host.

Here's just the beginning of my list. For months the Clinton campaign has:

• Disrespected states that didn't vote for them;
• Discounted the entire caucus system throughout the nation;
• Thrown racial baiting into the mix when it served their purpose;
• Flat out lied about Hillary Clinton's experience;
• Moved the goalposts every time they lost on an issue;
• Built up unrealistic and unreachable goals for Michigan and Florida.

Hillary Clinton didn't lose the primary because she is a woman. She lost because she ran a crappy campaign. If she weren't a woman and her name wasn't Hillary Clinton she would have been out in the cold ages ago. And as far as I'm concerned the current incarnation of Geraldine Ferraro can go out there with her.

Yes, I know, we're supposed to all kiss and make up now but as far as I'm concerned that doesn't keep a snake from being called a snake. Although that may be too kind of a statement. The Clinton campaign has sunk so low they could walk under a snake's belly with stilts on.

Thankfully, Nancy Pelosi has made it clear that in her role as leader of the Democratic Convention she isn't going to suffer fools. Good for her! If the Clinton camp tries to become too divisive or disruptive, Pelosi will just give them a swift kick in the ass. She will control a whole lot of what is able to make it to the floor of the convention and what isn't.

The fact is if Hillary Clinton and company want to play nice with the other kids then the party could use her help. If, on the other hand, she doesn't want to make nice, then send her even further down the road than she already is.

The Democratic Party has a remarkable nominee in Barack Obama; it's time to put him up against John McCain and win the presidency. McCain is just like Clinton: a total and complete representation of everything that has become wrong with the Washington D.C. culture of fat cat cronyism. They remind me of celluloid Doms in gangster movies who tell the people that they must, "Wet my beak a little," if they want to do business in their town. What a croc of *&%#!

M.S. Bellows has a story up about a Clinton "briarpatch strategy." He's certainly entitled to his opinion but I don't think that's going to happen. I think the majority of the Democratic Party is so tired of Hillary and her usual gang of idiots (no insult intended to Mad Magazine) that they will not tolerate any more shenanigans.

It's finally time for Hillary to fold her tent, pack up her double-talking husband, and get her act together. It's over!

Hallelujah! Thank you for your post! Just simple honest straight talk. Thank you thank you thank you!

I like this! Thank you.
One thing I've noticed in these blogs is the constant tiptoeing around whispering about how we have to be nice to the clinton supporters, they may take their vote and go home.
I've had it. I support Senator Obama but I don't pretend to have his diplomacy or tact.
For those hardcore hillary supporters: Go home, stay home or vote mccain but get out of the way this country has work to do and it's not about you. Period.
Meanwhile, they take up airtime pissing and moaning about the unfairness of it all.
Life's not fair. Get over it and go vote.

Yowser! Well said. A grandslam homerun!!!!
Bravo.

And what about those citizens who have embraced her narrative for the past three months (Excluding the 'won't vote for a black guy crowd,' who needs them!)? There is a segment of the party that has been more rabid than the senator herself. Did you see the bunch at the RBC meeting? Have you been reading the blogs?

Thank you GiannaX. 4President: I have not only been reading the blogs; I've been writing and editing them as well. The next president will be elected as a result of a vast centrist, independent, conspiracy (to spin an old phrase). The right wingnuts that are crying on behalf of Clinton aren't going to vote for her, they just want to cause trouble within the Democratic Party. And there is a number of them disguising themselves as Democrats. The ardent Hillary supporters who actually are Democrats will have a choice between Barack Obama who supports women's rights or John McCain who has guaranteed everyone that he will appoint Supreme Court judges who will keep this country in the dark ages. When push comes to shove, those women will vote in their own best self interests. Meanwhile, the swing independent voters, who will actually decide the election, have already signalled loud and clear that they are sick of the stuff McSame represents.

I' ve seen some of their blog comments and some of them are pretty revolting. They sound like they'd be happier blogging with Coulter, Limbaugh and Hannity. They certainly don't sound like Democrats. Some of the comments (e.g., calling Senator Obama "The Magic Mulatto " and Hussein) suggest that they'd be more comfortable with the Repbulicans.

They were just looking for an excuse tobe nasty and selfihs, and Clinton set the example for them. Those who honestly believe that she has been robbed or that Obama has cheated (how dare he win every measure of the vote!) aren't the sort "we" as a nation need, either.

Their self delusion and blindness to any faults in those they support is the kind of yes-man mentality that got us stuck with our current president.
