I don’t give a rat’s ass if Hillary is a woman. In point of fact, if she had run a campaign that was worthy of being elected as the candidate for the party, I would have been very pleased for such a historic moment. I started out, as a matter of fact, being a Clinton supporter.

But she lost me with the way she ran her campaign. I’ve seen way too much of the Republican Noise Machine, Hannity and Limbaugh and all the rest practicing the politics of distraction and destruction. Also, her constant carping and complaining about things, (Why do I always get the first question?), was not very pretty at all. Playing the victim role is not something that is conducive to being Commander in Chief. That’s how she ran her campaign and that’s why she lost it.

It was a huge shame that that happened. What an opportunity to lose, and what a sad thing to lose it. She just didn’t bring it, not in the right way and not with the right message, so, lose it she did. And, she lost it on her merits as a candidate, not on her merits as a woman.

BTW, where in my post did you read me referring to Senator Clinton in that fashion? You won’t find it because it’s not there. If that’s what happened to Hillary, that’s a real shame and shouldn’t happen to anybody. However, that is not a valid reason for voting someone into office. I’m certainly not supporting Senator Obama because he’s black, I really don’t care if he’s purple or puce. I care that he ran a good campaign, that he treated his opponent like a human being instead of a tackling dummy, that he concentrated on the issues, that he had the courage to stand in front of the country and say that he couldn’t deny a man who was like family to him, putting his entire candidacy to the people to decide if they still wanted him. The answer, by now, is obvious. Many others appreciated his candor, his courage and his viewpoint of the race as something that was political, not social.

So, if you’re going to bring that stuff up, then let’s see some proof. Let’s see some examples. Let me see what you’re talking about and judge for myself. You can contact me at obamadebates111@gmail.com. If you’re only interested in being rude, please don’t send anything. If you’re interested in talking to me about what I think, I’m very very interested in talking to you about why you feel the way you do. I’ve tried to engage Clinton supporters this way, to no avail, so I’d given up on the idea, and, sadly, become ascerbic.

I apologize.

So if you’re willing to explore the issues, I would really really like to find out where you’re coming from. I promise not to be abrasive, I’m very interested in your position. Please.

Well, honour is the subject of my story.
I cannot tell what you and other men
Think of this life: but, for my single self,
I had as lief not be as live to be
In awe of such a thing as I myself. (1.2.92)

In the end it is just a prop. Symbols made on the cheap.

Ya think it was union labor that built it?

Such was the past of this land. The Unforgiven.

Remember to treat the Denver Sanitation Engineers with the utmost courtesy. They have a lot of work to do when the circus blows town.

….and if you see a homeless vet give ‘em enough for a decent meal.

Just words…
