One last shout-out to Hillary supporters

We feel your pain. We really do.

This election is making many things crystal clear to Republicans, but for once they are things that you Hillary supporters knew long before we did. You expected the media to be the referee in your contest. You expected them to report the facts – ALL the facts – about both candidates, so the electorate could make an informed decision.


They didn’t. So instead of the victory you so richly deserved, and the Presidency you would likely have won, the advocacy media pushed Barack Obama from the very beginning. They reported none of his questionable dealings, positions or associations. They covered up for his complete inexperience. After South Carolina, they even whispered about your campaign’s racism. Then the whispers became shouts, nearly ruining Geraldine Ferraro and forever tarnishing the reputation of Bill Clinton among African Americans. When you lost, they were gleeful, even taunting.

And by now it has become plain how you lost. Caucus states were rigged with Obama supporters. ACORN provided all the registrants Obama could have hope for, then more, then more still. When the fraud finally was too much for the media to contain, it was too late for you. By the time your party realized what a mistake it was making, and Obama began losing primary after primary, it was too late. The party establishment and media dragged him across the finish line, then bullied Bill and Hillary into supporting Obama even as the voters in Florida and Michigan were being disenfranchised.

Believe me, these are lessons that we thought we knew. The remedial work has been a bear, let me tell you.

So what do you do, “sweetie” (remember that one)? I’ll tell you what you can do. Vote for John McCain. Don’t let your party’s mistake become the country’s mistake. Show that you can think for yourselves, and will not be taken for granted by a party which has lurched so far to the left that you barely even recognize it. Realize that Sarah Palin looks a whole lot more like your soccer mom crowd than the joyless, barren shrews that your party parades before you as representative of “real” women, and remember that the first two people she recognized were Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton.. Know that you and your family are safe with a battle tested President, not some wandering “seeker” to whom the Presidency would be a really cool thing to put on a resume’.

You know what to do. You are not alone. I wish you all the best.

    We need more civility in our politics. For example, it’s nice that you are no longer calling Hillary “The Witch” and comparing her to terrorists.

      Tell you what: I’ll make it easier for you to stay away. Because I’m nice like that.

      That being said: in the spirit of amity (note that I cannot tell you what to do about your own blog, of course), you may want to think about offering an apology for any earlier intemperate words, Jack_Savage. After all: a lot of us didn’t really understand what kind of rage and hate towards women was lurking in far too many Obama supporters’ hearts until it got directed at us. Not really an excuse, but it is a fact.

        But I will pass.

        When I wrote “The Witch”, I was echoing the words that Obama supporters were using to describe their victory. I should have put it in quotes for clarity, but I didn’t, so there.

        Any comparison made between the Clintons and anybody else was to highlight tenacity and endurance, and to note that “one and done” is not in their makeup.

        I will give TX kudos for going above and beyond the call of duty to play self-righteous victim, though. Very nice, and so typical. And I stand by my predictions.

        • Jack_Savage

          There is just nothing admirable about a terrorist, so I withdraw the comparison and replace it with “The Clintons and a nest of fire ants have this in common…”.

          There. Much better. But golly, I am going to be SO right.

        They have been way more optimistic than most conservative sites have been. They have stuck by the Senator even though some of his early supporters in the process have went to the dark side. The people who are running that blog are doing GOTV this weekend in one the 7 new states Obama was talking about (Racistland, which is made up of SE Ohio and SW Pennslyvania). Good luck to them and hopefully they convert some dems into PUMAS.

          I use Hillarettes in JEST, I address you in/with Regard for what it is you (or is it just what WE thought you) said you were looking for? Yes/No? Don’t answer yet…

          Hillary supporters thought they were supporting a “CENTRIST” and The Obamination is nothing close to that, but John McCain is. Heck, it is the very reason so many of us “Conservatives” and/or “Republicans” (yep, not one and the same) were NOT for Mr. McCain. We would prefer a Conservative over Centrist or Liberal, but now how can anyone see there is ANY CHOICE HERE!?!?

          Centrist (McCain) vs. Marxist (Obama). What the heck is the decision?!?!?

      They just were not prepared for the archaic, pitiful Democrat nomination process to be gamed so successfully by Obama’s campaign. By the time everyone realized it, the structure of the process made it impossible to catch up.

      If they want a centrist, the choice is indeed clear.
