No, this does not mean I am giving up on my support of Barack Obama. I am confident he will win the Democratic nomination and will go on to win the US presidency in November.
But I am fed up with the antics of the Clinton camp and the damn WISHY-WASHINESS, NAMBY-PAMBINESS, WEAK-ASSEDNESS of the Democrats, particularly the superdelegates.
This ish is really ridiculous now. It's turning into a damn farce and I refuse to watch and indulge its every twist and turn any longer. The Democrats are some damn fools for allowing this to go on as it has.
It is clear Clinton cannot win.
Moreover it occured to me today that ...what if the situation was reversed?
What if Hillary Clinton, with all the sheen of 'inevitability' that she had last year this time, had a basically insurmountable lead in delegates with no signs of that being overturned in the slim pickings remaining (Puerto Rico! Guam for pity's sake), was awash with funds while her rival struggled and lent money to himself to stay afloat and yet... he refused to give in? Even while it clearly damaged the party's overall chances in the big picture...the general elections?
Would this behaviour be tolerated from Barack Obama if the roles were reversed? Would he be allowed to even float much less seriously suggest that the superdelegates should overturn the will of the people? Would he be allowed to blatantly gender-bait, smear and use the nastiest of tactics against his own party member?
Would the party leadership, the fundraisers and most of the all, the media not have already shown him the door?
Seriously, why is this behaviour being indulged? Because she name Clinton? *stupssssssse*
Why do I have to tolerate seeing and hearing Clinton surrogates sit with straight faces and defend the idea of seating the delegates from Florida and Michigan all the while claiming it is in the name of 'democracy' when only their candidate was on the ballot in Michigan? IN WHAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY is only one candidate's name on the ballot? Why are they being allowed to get away with this nonsense?
It's just taking a joke too damn far. Meanwhile the Republicans sit back and cannot believe their unbelievable luck. In a year that they should have been guaranteed to lose, with a candidate that large swathes of the party cannot even stomach, the Democrats are doing the job for them.
I am disgusted by the weakness of the superdels who seem to not have the balls ...shoot not even ballS plural, just one damn testicle would do at this point in time, to put their collective foot down and stop this mess.
It's like they're just watching this thing like helpless observers instead of active and powerful participants. DO something for pity's sake!
I have never seen anything like this in my life - politicians that are squeamish about taking power. Which is what this is about. The end game is winning the general elections and the congressional and senate elections in November. Does anyone remember this? Would anyone enjoy winning and sticking it to the Republicans? Hello?
It's like they don't even know how to win when it's handed to them on a plate. It's making me pretty disgusted to tell the truth- it is a rank display of weenie-ness. No wonder the Dems have only held power for 12 out of the last 40 years.
