Message to Hillary supporters...

Just some helpful hints:
1. Quit whining. Seriously, people like who they like for whatever reasons they have. If someone doesn't like Hillary, don't act like they hate all women, are insane or completely deluded. I don't pitch a fit when I find out someone doesn't like super sharp cheddar cheese, Barack Obama or kittens, I just accept they have worse taste than me and move on.

2. When you call progressive radio shows and complain that the progressives don't like Hillary, stop for a moment and think. If you are capable of logic, you should draw this conclusion...if progressives don't like Hillary, it might just mean they don't think she's progressive. Just because she's a woman does not mean she's a progressive. Just because she's running under the democratic ticket does not make her a liberal. I am a progressive, I'm also liberal, left wing and all those other nasty terms no one wants to use any more. In fact, I laugh when those conservatives whine about the "radical left" when talking about Hillary or Obama (or Olberman or MSNBC for that matter). If they knew what most "radical leftists" really thought and wanted to do, they'd start advocating much more strongly to put people like us into camps...or maybe not. After all for the most part, we just want to be left alone to do what we want to do, and to be free, and to rock (oh and maybe a little rioting when the situation warrants).

3. If you are a woman and say "I'm voting for Hillary because she's a woman", could you just shut the fuck up now? Here's a clue by four, you make yourself look like an idiot, all women look like idiots and Hillary look like an idiot. Imagine how you'd react if someone said "I'm voting for Hillary because she's white" (see #4, because I guess there's lots of folks out there who are voting for her whiteness) or "I'm pro-Obama because he's a man". The first thing women had to do before they got any rights was prove they could THINK, and your assertion that Hillary has earned your vote simply because she shares your genitals proves to many people that women can't think. Genitals do not qualify anyone to be anything beyond inserters or receivers....and even that's up for bargaining. Seriously, Eva Braun, Margaret Thatcher, Phyllis Schlafly, Charlie Manson's mother and Ann Coulter are all women, would you vote for any of them too?

4. That said, if you are white and call up a radio show complaining "All dem Blacks is just voting for Barack because he's black and that ain't fair.....duuurrrrrslurp...me loves Hillary...gaaaaaa...how'd I get a drool stain on my brown shirt?". FUCK YOURSELVES, RACIST ASSHOLES. GO TO HELL AND DIE. Seriously, if this is what Hillary supporters are really like then I can only assume then that Hillary is the same way and I will never vote for her because I do not want to associate myself with a bunch of racist, sexist fucktards. (Psssst...it's why I'm not a republican, or a libertarian) From the way you talk, you probably have your little black lawn jockey shackled so he don't run off your plantation and hang out with all them other black folks who are incapable of thought and just vote because finally, for once in this stupid country's history there's a decent guy with a chance of winning the presidency who shares a similar skin color.

5. For chrissakes, stop with your bullshit parade on every damned radio show. I'm fucking sick of it. You know you make folks like me hate her more because you all sound like a bunch of blathering infants and you never make a coherent point. Waah waahh...so the media aren't kowtowing to Hillary, so they're more critical of her than of Obama...get over it already. Maybe you could spend your time encouraging her to portray another side of herself beyond "aging cynical bitch". Yes, the Clinton years were difficult. Guess what? That's over...as in past, as in there's nothing that we can do about it now. Rehashing it with stupid "vast right wing conspiracy" theories left over from 1994 certainly doesn't help her cause any. Oh, and quit lying. (That said, here's a big ol' FU to every dickwad who made a big deal out of Hillary's "tears" in New England a couple months ago - even idiots know what crying looks like. Pssst...that wasn't it)

6. Hillary, you remind me of GW way too much when you scold. We've spent the last 8 years with GW up there telling us he knows best, we don't need to do anything and we don't need to know anything because he's doing "hard work" to take care of it all. Show a little humility in yourself and faith in others...it's why people like Obama. Also, insulting people who've chosen to not follow you makes you sound like a cynical asshole. Trust me, I am a cynical asshole, I know what I sound like. I, and many others, will have a hard time getting past your low opinion of us should you be one of the choices. For some reason, once they're out of High School, folks just don't like to vote for people who seem to hate them.


Personally, I'd be more than happy for BOTH parties to dissolve, because NEITHER represents my, or I bet your, beliefs wholly. With only two, nothing gets done because no one has to build a consensus, they just rally the troops, circle the wagons and grandstand while the rest of humanity takes it up the ass. I'm sick of holding my nose so I can vote for who is least evil, or knowing that who I voted for will never in a million years win because everyone is so stuck in this "Republocrat" or "Demican" mindset. Please, just stop with the stupid already.
