That seems to be the rationalizations of the Obama supporters. Every time some rule doesn't suit them, they want to rationalize some evil thing that the Clintons are doing and ignore/change the rule, yet when the rule suits them, then they rationalize that it's just. To me, disenfranchising people in Florida is no more honorable than this so-called Superdelgate voting, in fact, I think it's far worse than the super-delegate issue. Most of those voters in Florida and Michigan had no control over their primary dates, yet they still chose to vote in huge numbers. If the Florida vote had gone for Obama, all of the Obama supporters (and very likely, Obama himself) would now be howling that their delegates must be seated.

I'm fine if Obama becomes the nominee, though at this point I'm going to have to hold my nose to vote for him, because I don't think he's especially honest, I think he and his wife are the ones playing the race card and benefitting the most from it (anyone who truly thinks the Clintons are racist has shit for brains). I don't think his positions, where they differ from Clinton's are better, and I don't find him inspiring. I've listened to his speeches and they actually creep me out as they remind me of preaching in church (I really don't trust religions at all, and history has borne out my lack of trust). I don't think he's ready to be president, and I think he'd be a better vice-president right now, and be a far better president in 8 years than he can be now. Still, he'd be better than the republican alternative. Ironically, I think he's actually the one who's been divisive, because it's his supporters that are the vicious anti-Clinton types. I don't see the same coming from the Clinton camp (even the ones who mock Obama aren't being vicious, or assigning questionable motives to him they have no way of knowing), and virtually everyone I've talked to or read that supports Clinton (or Edwards) first, says they'll vote for whoever is the eventual nominee, but I'm seeing way too many Obama supporters who will either vote for the republican or Nader (the same thing) rather than vote for Clinton. That's not rational, and while that's not necessarily Obama's fault, it doesn't speak well of his supporters at all.

The truth is, ALL of the Clinton hatred is irrational. I've seen nothing that she's done or said that justifies it. Sure, I was very annoyed with some of her votes, but that doesn't mean I hate her. I've been annoyed with some of Edwards' and Obama's votes, but I don't hate them either. I could say the same about virtually every democrat. Lieberman, well, I do despise him, because he truly is despicable, but that's a totally different subject, and of course, he's not a democrat any longer, just a leech on McCain's ass, which seems to make both of them very happy.

All this crap about her being power-mad, ruthless, what-have-you, that's just projected bullshit and says more about the accuser than the accused.
