Getting off of the fence

[sueragingroz]

Here's an excerpt from a rather interesting blog entry that can be found at:

So anyway: Obama. Is he as wonderful as he seems? Perhaps. Forgive me if I don’t take it on faith. For one thing, I am entirely offended that he has sat by while his campaign and his supporters use every tried and true right-wing tactic to undermine and deride Hillary—-and, by extension, her supporters.

Now I’m told he’s apparently “on track to make his case” that the party should ‘coalesce’ around his candidacy.

So now what, my fellow Dems? What are you going to do now? Because it’s not just me. Hillary supporters across the country are beginning to express their outrage at the way that Hillary’s been treated—not just in the media (we’ve come to expect this) but by other Democrats.

Three weeks ago most of us would have said we didn’t really care which one got the nomination or were on the fence. I certainly was. A couple or few weeks ago, it took me 25 minutes to choose between Hillary and Obama. I really wanted Edwards. I hadn’t looked into either of the others. I didn’t really want to take sides.

But then the fence on which we fence-sitters were still sitting—”after all, we’ve got two great candidates,” we said to ourselves— got blasted out from under us by the shocking tone of the attacks on Hillary and on those of us who supported her by the anti-Hillary contingent of our very own party.

1. K & R!

The treatment that HRC has received is just awful.

2. Sitting on the fence and happy to be here.

Need to be careful about hypocrisy. Du will call you on it every time.

Whenever Edwards supporters cry "foul play", they are told in no uncertain terms that JE lost because he lost.

And if Clinton loses, it will not be because the boys were mean to her. She will lose because she lost.

I object to anything that paints her as victim. She is the strongest female leader this county has had and will either be or come seriously close to being the first female president. I do not want her to be painted as a victim, because she is not.

Talk her up. Focus on how strong she is.

I will still be on the fence but I will feel better.

Game on.
