And there will be many, many more now that Obama is about to lose his Protected Species status. Thing is, the Obama forces - including the MSM - can't play the Why Doesn't McCain Just Drop Out game. Uh uh, no way. Obama might've gotten away with this with Hillary, but McCain is the guy from the Other Party and he's not about to pull any punches. Pawlenty's right: Obama has nothing to offer other than empty phrases and my guess is that's he's about to be served with a richly deserved comeuppance. Should prove pretty entertaining.

Obama has not won anything. He has an arbitrary number of delegates, at least four of them stolen from Hillary, who is ahead in the popular vote. This is almost undoubtedly going to the convention, as it should. Obama has been on one long downhill slide ever since February. It's the voters who want Hillary Clinton and last I heard, the voters still wear the pants. Not, of course, by the lights of the treachery laden DNC or the equally treachery laden MSM, or the truly nasty blogger boyz. Time to wake up and realize that Obama is toast vis a vis the GE if the strong arming continues even one more moment. By and large, Hillary supporters will not accept having the nomination handed to Obama on a purloined silver platter. A large proportion of them will vote against him out of pure anger and disgust, rest assured.

They just haven't been to the The One's benefit. And so they were downgraded, despised, dismissed, and dumped on in Obamadom, along with the woman who spoke the words. I've seen Hillary Clinton - and her supporters - treated like dirt on this site and others, day after day after day. I've seen Hillary treated like dirt by Obama himself, by the DNC, by many Democratic party leaders, by the meda. At no point and at no level did Obamadom see fit to speak out against all the ugliness.

Bottom line: all the pretty words in the world aren't going to lure millions of deeply angered Clinton supporters into supporting Obama. It's far too little, far too late. The Democratic party doesn't deserve our support. It no longer has right on its side. In its current incarnation it deserves to go down to defeat come November, and it almost certainly will. Only then will there be a chance, however small, that the party will come to its senses.

Obama was and is not an outstanding candidate. He's an entirely unproven, unqualified politician who was foisted on millions of voters by the media and the DNC. Obama ran a very, very dirty campaign. There is no reason to believe he would not be a very unsavory president. I have never trusted him; it's highly doubtful that I ever would. I cannot stand the sound of Obama's voice. To me, it's the sound of treachery, of a phony preacher. I cannot stand to look at photos of him, because of that perpetual look of the canary-devouring cat. (His alternate miens are pettishness, arrogance and pomposity.) I react to Obama just as I've reacted to Bush for eight long years (or 80 million, or however long it's been). I know of nothing that Obama has ever sacrificed for another. I know of no accomplishments of his which were not motivated entirely by self interest. I know of no position or belief he has espoused which isn't capable of being turned on a dime, especially when self interest beckons. I do know he was and is entirely capable of insulting and smearing his opponent in the most vile manner. I also know he's capable of dissembling at every turn, because we've all seen him do it.

So you are wrong, Rebecca. I will not be voting for Obama, nor will millions of other liberal-leaning voters who have come to detest him. And no, it's most certainly not my about my uterus (insulting at best). It's about my sense of honor. I treasure my vote far too much to deliver it to the likes of Barack Obama.

Don't just sit there. Make a noise.

Oh, some of us are making a noise alright. You simply don't like the sound of it, to wit: hell no, we will not vote for Obama.

BTW, your post was patronizing and condescending and wrongheaded on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. Your assumption that white women have heretofore been oblivious of the suffering of others, not to mention free of suffering themselves, is so atrocious as to be stunning. Thank you so much for all you do to keep the victimhood Olympics alive.

Ten? Twelve? A very young sixteen? Only an adolescent mind could embrace the repeated posting of recipes and mindless tripe as a clever means of stifling an unpleasant discussion. You've pissed off the adults, okay? Now, go to your room - and shut up.

Oh, stuff it please, Garrison. We all know how upstanding you lily white Minnesotans are and how desperate many of you are to fortify your (mostly unearned) liberal creds by voting for the black guy. (Ah, the sheer novelty of it all must be intoxicating!) Even if that black guy has been shown over and over to have the moral integrity of a dumpster, you're going to march into that voting booth and Do The Right Thing. Even if he's clearly unqualified and immensely overhyped, you're gonna show them by Voting For Obama (and making sure everyone knows about it). You, Garrison, even wrote a recent column about how we should vote for the guy who sounds like a preacher. (Excuse me? Has separation of church and state suddenly slid off your radar?)

You were never very cool, Garrison, and that was actually your appeal. Now you're not only not cool, you've taken to pandering. That goes way beyond uncool. How unfortunate.
