To the Democratic Party: GO fuck youselves. Well, you already are. You’re just too stupid to know it. (CLARIFICATION: I am NOT GIVING UP ON HILLARY CLINTON. I know that she would be the best president we’ve had in at least the past century, and as long as there is hope for her, I am with her every step of the way. She has proven, over and over, that she is up to the task. I am in constant awe of her will, her determination, her resolve, her brains, her knowledge, her grasp of the issues, her sense of what is truly important, her graciousness, her coolness under fire, and her resilience in the face of even betrayal. What a great woman. And what a great president she will make. As for the stupid Democrats running the party, that’s another thing entirely ….)
– Speaking for myself (SusanUnPC) but I have invited fellow writers to join in with their own statements as they wish
Bud White here: Obama’s smearing of President Bill Clinton as a racist makes it impossible for me to vote for Obama.
Truthteller: West Virginia voters rebuffed the candidate the media and the Party have arbitrarily christened the Democratic nominee. How a Party can support a candidate who is so woefully unelectable confounds me: Obama’s victories are from states that hold caucuses, one of the most undemocratic practices that I view as a remnant of machine politics; he is weak on issues of choice, LGBT rights, health care, social security, wages and the right to organize; his past in Chicago is one of quid pro quo and corruption; he has accomplished nothing in the Senate; his knowledge of foreign affairs is wanting; he can only deliver speeches from a teleprompter; he speech yesterday contained two factual errors; he is sexist; he has exploited this nation’s history of race for electoral gain, even though he has no relation to that history; his wife is a race baiter and a negative campaigner; his only accomplishment while serving as a Senator is attaching his name to a book I believe a group of ghostwriters composed; he has lied repeatedly on the campaign trail; he is a puppet who will be controlled by certain factions of the Democratic party; and nothing he has accomplished has impacted my life. This Leftist will not vote for him if he is the nominee. And this will be a problem, for I will reside in a state Democrats must win in November. Good luck with your wooden marionette, Democrats. You will lose Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and probably New Jersey, and your Congressional candidates will be swept into the wastebasket of history. Until this party is able to embrace the notion that a woman can lead, I refuse to engage in any form of Party activism. It is Hillary or bust. After all, Democrats value work and accomplishments, not overweening egos and inflated senses of entitlement of those who have never had to work for anything their entire lives. Regarding John Edwards’s endorsement, at least we now know he was never committed to universal health care or to the elimination of poverty. It was just one act in a seemingly interminable drama entitled “The Democratic Boys Club.” Let us hope someone will drop the curtain on this sordid and sexist spectacle.
UPDATE VIA ANDY: There’s money involved. What a surprise.
SECOND UPDATE BELOW, via Terry McAuliffe:
Statement from Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe
Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe made the following statement today in response to former Sen. John Edwards’ endorsement of Sen. Obama.
“We respect John Edwards, but as the voters of West Virginia showed last night, this thing is far from over.”
P.S. Go fuck yourself, John. How much money did he offer you? Oops! Terry’s secretary must have messed up!
