North Carolina and Indiana were over. Soon after wards, many were signaling that personal attacks against another Democrat are off the table now. The greatest good of party and country are at stake, and it benefits both sides to focus on going after McCain this late in the game. But then, in quick succession we have Hillary telling a reporter that she can carry the "hardworking blue collar, white" voters and last night comparing Obama to George Bush Jr.! I know she said she would fight on, but I never thought she would actually be batshit enough to do it! Can their egos really be so big as to totally overshadow their sense of the dire emergency this country is in! This isn't about Obama or Clinton to all of us lowly proles, you know. This is our LIFE! This is our bank accounts getting smaller and smaller from trips to the grocery store and gas station. This is our medical bills piling up because our country can't provide for it's own citizens. This is our air and water that have been ignored and dirtied up for so many years. If the Clintons had the sense to get out of their own drama story for a second, they would see what the stakes really are. They're bigger than the Clintons, by God, that's for sure.
Hey! You're hurting other democrats and especially yourself now, guys! Everyone was content to let you take another lap or two around the racetrack if that's what you needed to come to terms with events. It's a historic thing to be the first woman to get so far towards the White House, and for the sake of your supporters many of us were willing to let the campaign grind to a halt on it's own time. But not if you're going to hurt our chances in November.
Look, there are people who want you out now but will let you pick your own time to do it, and then there are people who just want you out now. I like to think that I'm the former but if you don't stop with the slime ball politics, I and alot of other people are going to the latter's camp real quick. It's your choice what the endgame is going to be, but that's all at this point that you can control.
