I attended the CA State Democratic Convention this weekend and I think it’s getting ugly and frustrating.
First off, the superdelegates need to get off their @#$@ and make a decision. As party insiders, what else do you need to know in order to decide one way or another.
Second, what the hell was Carville thinking? This loyalty stuff is total BS. I didn’t know blind loyalty was something we prized in our government. I’m pretty sure the “loyalty” mantra under the Bush administration has shown the failure of that doctrine. “Loyalty” was the reason we gave those inane contracts to Halliburton. I still haven’t gotten a great sense of why we outsourced part of the war. I didn’t know that the Iraq War was suppose to be a profit center for some Americans.
These Hillary supporters are turning into Ann Coulter clones. I love the constant chatter of Obamabots and of Obama supporters being brain-washed. Considering that Obama has a much higher percentage of the college educated Democrats supporting him. I’d say that the labeling is incorrect. You don’t see many (or any) bloggers talking about the femi-Nazis or white trash component of Hillary supporters (oops, did I just let that out?).
A lot of us are fed up with the politics as usual crap. For those Clinton supporters that threaten to withhold money from the DNCC, do you see how much money Obama is raising grassroots-wise?
He’s upsetting the status quo and that scares some people. I’m not naive enough to state that this couldn’t turn into an Animal Farm situation with Obama, but I don’t see how the next 4 years with him can be any worse than the last 16 years of bickering partisanship.
