I’m really getting tired of hearing that same refrain that it’s time for Hillary supporters to back Obama for “party unity” or so “we can win in November”

But, my real problem is with our party. I have become so disillusioned with the Democratic Party during this primary. Claiming to be neutral, they were anything but. It has been painfully obvious who their preference was. It’s troubling the direction the party seems to be taking. We are supposed to be the party of values and fair play and having every vote count. Is it fair play to exclude two key swing states of seating their delegates or counting their votes but then award North Carolina 24 extra delegates just for holding their primary in May? What about coming up with such a lopsided system that awards more delegates to a candidate who loses the popular vote in a particular state? It’s assinine.

We are supposed to be different than the Republicans. For years we have complained about the neocons taking their party to the extreme right and how that wasn’t good for the country, yet our party is now doing the same thing in reverse as Obamacrats are determined to move the party to the extreme left. No longer are we inclusive as African-Americans en mass turned their backs on the Clintons, politicians they previously adored until the Obama campaign followed by the media labeled them racist. Nothing that has happened in this primary was more absurd, yet the party sat idly by and said nothing- until Rev. Wright popped up and Barack Obama was given a national stage to deliver a speech on race and all the hot shots came out praising the speech and defending Obama for remaining in the congregation for twenty years.

And don’t get me started on hypocrites like Donna Brazile, the self proclaimed “undeclared superdelegate” Who does she think she’s kidding when she constantly gushes over Obama out of one side of her mouth while slamming “his opponent” out of the other, and who writes on her website “To Obama’s opponents and those carrying the dirty water, it’s all about winning, not governing or leading a diverse, multiethnic and multiculture society. Our strength has always come from our ability to unite people,” and then following the North Carolina and Indiana primaries had the utter gall to say, “We don’t have to just rely on white blue collar voices and Hispanics” Sounds kind of racist and exclusive to me.

Then we have Ted Kennedy who says that Clinton as VP is not possible since Obama needs a VP more “in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people” What the f*ck is that supposed to mean coming from the king of nobility who ran from his culpability in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne in Chappaquiddick.

And of course there is Bill Richardson who says Obama is the candidate needed because this nations needs to heal. What?! What kind of healing is he talking about and if it’s true, why is that candidate Barack Obama? Is he some kind of medicine man who is going to spread open his arms, envelope us in a group hug and all will be well?

Finally, my real ire is aimed at the lily livered coward superdelegates who have previously endorsed Senator Clinton and are now abandoning her to endorse her opponent. What cowardice. To support a candidate because you feel they are the most qualified to lead the country, only to abandon them when you feel they can’t win. These are our leaders?

So don’t blame Senator Clinton or her supporters for splitting the party, and please don’t refer to me as stupid or stubborn because I won’t get on the Obama express. Isn’t it ironic that the one player in this whole primary season who was villified, lied about and disparaged more than anyone else is also the one to have handled everything with style, class and grace? It’s just a tragedy that once again, the most qualified person to lead this nation has been passed over for less prepared candidates.

Mark It!
