The sound of women going “Hillareeeeee” is still ringing in my ears. I sure hope it isn’t all sour grapes. I read my way around the blogs this morning, and some on the other side of the Hillary argument dismisses her followers as bitter bull dykes. Welllll, that is certainly….well, yeah, let’s not, ok? Over simplification solves nothing at all.
Every hard-core Hillary supporter is not a bull dyke. Not even any kind of dyke. But I know a few dykes and mind you, I will defend their right to be bitter. But not about Hillary, ok? On that score I am willing to smack a few hands and act rather Nunzilla with a rapping ruler. Grow the hell UP, ok? I have heard that “It doesn’t matter who is elected, it will likely only be for four years.” Really?
Look what George the Fool accomplished in four years, will you? And McCain is crazier and more damaged than he was—you really want to submit America in her already screwed up fragile state to THAT? Because you think Hillary was unfairly treated? Let’s grant you that, because judging from her speech last night, the stuff the media chose to show all through her campaign was NOT her best moments. But geez louise, take it out on the MEDIA, not on the American public by letting John McCain take the White House.
Let me assure you from the seat of a half-crazed Sybilline sort (admittedly not as infallible as the Pope, but less dogmatically motivated), that hard and rotten times are in the very near future for America. Do you really want a man in the Oval Office whose response to this will almost certainly be to blame some country far away and start another war? Because that IS the GOP answer to economic woes—cause it works for THEM and THEIR friends, they are all getting richer. And because they still pump the ‘trickle down’ bullshit, because if McCain’s $270,000 a year “domestic help budget” is any example, they envision all of us dressed in French maid outfits. (I admit, I want to see them try that withe the reputed “bull dykes”, ok? )
Another blogger did float an idea that I have discussed with friends—whether Obama might put Clinton on the Supreme Court bench. Oh, my, Scalia might stroke out at the thought…and that makes me smile and drool a bit too much for mixed company. And others bitch that, while , yes Scalia is a puke, it is wrong to prostitute the Court for political quid pro quo. Nice sentiment, I agree with the ideal behind it.
However, I am of the camp that applauds the selection of Joe Biden because Biden will open his mouth and shoot poison arrows back at McCain. The Democrats have been taking the supposedly high moral road in Congress and in public discourse for the last eight years and it has availed us NOT. It has been the political version of advice I was given (and discarded) as a girl: In case of rape, it is inevitable, so lay back and enjoy it!
WE have not been enjoying it, but the Democrats HAVE been laying back. It is time to do some punching, some stiletto heeling of foreheads and that includes on the Supreme Court. The pendulum needs a good damned shove to the opposite direction if we ever hope to put the country back in shape to be recognized on any moral map again. If Obama wins and puts Hillary on the Court, pray there are enough folks in Congress to ratify that choice!
If Hillary truly has enough disgruntled followers who will either fail to vote or vote for McCain, or any other candidate, just don’t let me hear any of you saying bad things about Ralph-Spoiler-Nader again, ok? Because if this election is thrown to McCain , you will all surely learn a most unpleasant lesson in why it certainly does fucking matter who is elected. One blogger I read has one thing dead right—if McCain is at the Wheel of State when it goes down, it will be on the GOP neo-con slate as it deserves to be. But the signatories at the bottom will include all those misguided, cult-of-personality Hillary-ites who can’t see the writing on the Babylonian wall. Are you really all up to put your “John Hancock” to THAT?
