Through Apologizing
Seth Grahame-Smith goes a lot further than I would, but essentially he is correct in his analysis of Clinton and why Democrats are starting to like the Clintons a lot less than they did before the beginning of this year. I used to favor Hillary for the nomination, and even proposed a Hillary/Obama ticket. At the beginning of January, I noted that I switched from Hillary to Obama, but mainly for reasons that had little to do with dislike for Hillary. I disapproved of her tendency to run to the center, and feared she might be too easily pilloried in the general election, but I was still okay with Hillary in general, despite these worries. But as time went on, Hillary started using tactics and making moves that made me like her less and less–and made me start to feel more and more like Grahame-Smith.
Is this just because I now favor Obama and wouldn’t like anyone who opposed him? Possibly, but I don’t think so. Had Hillary fought a clean race, I could still like and respect her. It’s not that she opposes Obama, it’s how she opposes him. Had I backed Hillary, for example, I just can’t see myself getting as indignant or offended by how Obama is campaigning against her.
And with the way a lot of Democrats and even Independents are now reacting to Hillary, I’d have to say that I am not alone in this. If Hillary wins the nomination and the election, it will be with a lot of votes like mine–people who pulled the switch for her, but not without a great deal of distaste.
Ditto. In late January I defended Hillary in public at the place I was getting my hair cut in Mesa. I defended her here against you. These days I can’t believe I ever did that. The thing that really bothers me, across the long haul, is her unwillingness to admit a mistake. I just can’t get passed that for many reasons. The two most are, it means you are ideologically driven, it means that perhaps you don’t know what you are doing, it means that you will be intransigent on many issues regarding and reflecting the use of power…. okay that was three.
Within the Democratic party, the point she jumped the shark, I think was when she talked up McCain, the opposition, over Obama. There is no way the Party apparatics can cotton to that.
In politics, people might forget what’s going on easily. But if they remember all that she is doing now, she will lose the election. At this point, I don’t think I could hold my nose and vote for her in the General. I expect Polosi and Schumer and such people to hold some kind of intervention soon.
“The thing that really bothers me, across the long haul, is her unwillingness to admit a mistake.”
Wow! I wonder what it would be like to have a president that felt, and acted this way? It sure is a good thing that we as a nation have never had to suffer through something this horrible. I mean something like that could get you involved in a war if you weren’t careful.
If we have learned nothing else in the last eight years it should be that an attitude such as that is unacceptable.
Geraldine, why can’t you be true? Oh, Geraldine, why can’t you be true? You done gone back doing them things you used to do. Seriously, I’ll try to keep it reasonable. But you know as well as I do, the finance minister of Hillary Clinton’s vast finance department (Geraldine Ferraro) only parroted what Hillary herself and hubby Bubba have been saying with regard to race. Playing the victim card. It’s just so unbecoming for someone with all of Hillary’s advantages. First it’s the press, then it’s the race. What’s a girl to do? What irony, what poetic justice: http://theseedsof9-11.com
