We understand what you’re going through with the Obama anointing by the MSM. We know exactly how you feel and realize that Clinton has become the Republican in this race. Every time I read one of these stories<\/a> I’m hit by the fact that I feel sorry for a Clinton and I feel queasy about it. It’s as if the cosmic order has been turned upside down and I’m feeling sorry for Morgoth.
\nIt is a shame that the MSM have painted Hillary supporters as racist but it’s a gift for Republicans because we can now point to it when they try to paint us as racist for not supporting him:<\/p>\n

Lifelong Democrat Kathleen Cowley watches with disdain as huge crowds hang on Sen. Barack Obama’s every word. She dismisses Obama’s “intolerable logic.” She turns the channel on pundits who chalk up Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s primary victories to little more than racism. And she doesn’t much care for the notion that while Obama is fresh and inspiring, Clinton is, by implication, old and mean.
\n“There’s just been an attitude that if you aren’t voting for Barack Obama, then you’re a racist,” said Cowley, 49, a mother of four from Massachusetts who has vowed to never back the senator from Illinois. “I just find that intolerable. I feel like when the members of the media talk about how [Obama’s supporters] would react, they say, ‘Well, we can’t take the vote away from African Americans.’ Well, excuse me, there’s a higher percentage of women.”
\nSome women, like Cowley, complain that Clinton has been disrespected and mistreated by the media and the political establishment. Many see Obama as equally condescending, dismissing Clinton’s foreign policy role as first lady, pulling out her chair for her at debates and suggesting offhand during one debate that she was “likable enough.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not to mention calling female reporters “sweetie.”
\nAnd then there’s this:<\/p>\n

If Obama is the nominee, Tonay said, McCain will be just fine with her. “In the end, I won’t vote for Obama because I don’t know who he is, and I don’t trust him,” she said. “If McCain gets in, he would have a weak presidency, and we would have a Democratic Congress anyway. Obama could do more damage.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*sigh* She’s right, Hillary supporters. You can safely vote for McCain because he’s promised to work with Congress to get things done and since it’s going to be a Democrat Congress, you will probably get most of your agenda. He has a track record of working with Democrats, so you can expect more of the same.
\nAnd also this:<\/p>\n

“In my heart I just can’t bring myself to [vote for Obama], and I feel like a schlep,” she said. “I’m not going to be voting for him, and it irritates me. Nobody’s concerned about the women. I don’t think I can vote for McCain. I guess I’ll have to sit it out.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmmm…I see an opening for McCain to make a pitch for the female vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
