Dear Democratic Party Hierarchy & American media:

I have been a life member of the Democratic Party, as have been all of my family and indeed my Irish ancestors all the way back to the early 1800’s, when they first came to America. You need to know how truly disgusted and angry I am over all the shenanigans that have been going on against Hillary Clinton, since day number one of the primary elections.

You have both painted and showed the ugliest pictures that you could possibly find of Hillary, while showing a young, vibrant Barack Obama.

When Hillary has spoken her truth, demonstrated her experience, and connection to everyday America; she has been ridiculed as inflammatory, divisive, racist and mean spirited.  When Mr. Obama speaks essentially the same truth, but in more flowery words aimed at the young and more liberal sector of the Democratic Party and Independents, he has been lauded as the messiah, the healer, incapable of doing any wrong.

When Hillary has mis-stepped, she has been beaten down to the ground and spit upon by the American press, as well as by much of the Democratic hierarchy.  When Obama has mis-stepped, he has been helped back up and offered assistance.

When Hillary has talked about her life experiences in politics, it has been so totally twisted out of reality as to represent an obscene monster-like essence.  When Barack’s lack of experience, especially in foreign affairs has been brought up, it has quietly been hidden from the public, made to seem immaterial. Hillary talks of using experience to enact change effectively and rightfully; Barack talks of changing the American way of politics to enact a needed, future change. But the press has reported Clinton as tired, corrupt Hillary politics, while presenting a young, glowing vibrant all knowing Obama future. What utter irresponsibility and illusions the American press core and Democratic hierarchy have pandered to the American public.

The fact of the matter is that both of the candidates are outstanding in their own right. But, Hillary, who has devoted over 30 some years to her love of helping others via her political career, has a much richer life experience in all areas. Barrack Obama simply does not possess the same political knowledge and wisdom that Hillary has accrued throughout her life. By the way, Mr. Obama, there are only 50 states, not 57 as you recently reported. But, perhaps you were only joking…

Then, there has been the ridiculous mess with the Democratic Party’s refusal to seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan. Rules, rules, rules. What utter nonsense. There are, I understand, bylaws that would allow exceptions to be made. Obviously Obama has not wanted Florida and Michigan’s votes counted, because it could cost him the election. The Democratic Party hierarchy should know better and have acted neutrally, somehow getting Florida’s legally certified votes counted, and Michigan’s primary re-done. Yet, it has been clear from day one, that Dean (the Democratic National Committee boss) has been in the pocket of Obama (who in turn has been backed by Senator Edward Kennedy). Not surprisingly, the Democrat National Committee has not championed getting these two states votes counted.

In the case of Florida, it is one of the swing states. How extremely unwise that the Democratic powers to be have refused to seat Florida and Michigan’s votes, especially interesting since Florida’s ‘illegal’ voting date was pushed through by a Republican controlled legislature in Florida! Pushed through by a REPUBLICAN Florida legislature: So why in the world would the Democratic National Committee want to “punish” Florida’s Democrats? Come November, Florida’s Democrats may well decide to “punish” the Democratic Partiy back in retaliation and vote McCain. The Republicans will, I assure you, welcome the Floridian Democrats with two open arms. Why doesn’t the Democratic National Committee just shoot itself in the foot….

Finally, the Democratic hierarchy and the American press core have not been exactly honest about Hillary’s greater electibility power. No matter how you cut it, the mighty electoral swing states are Hillary states. Based on the winner takes all electoral votes policy in the Presidential elections, Hillary has already won the Presidential Elections. Interestingly enough, very little has been said about this by the Democratic hierarchy and by the the news. How inconvenient this will be, if an Obama ticket losses the November elections!

In closing, for the first time I seriously am thinking of not voting Democratic, but rather registering my extreme displeasure with the Democratic Party by writing in Hillary Clinton’s name as my choice for President. Many will say this is insane, ignorant, and stupid. Yet, in my conscience I must and will do what I think is right and that is to let the Democratic Party system know how absolutely disgusted with them I am.

P.S. Democratic Party: I know many, many others, who feel exactly the same way I do and who plan to register their great upset the same way— at the polls in November.

Rise up, Hillary and keep fighting!
Carpe Diem.

Mark It!
