  Clinton supporters need to grow down a little

  Your candidate refuses to renounce waterboarding. Yet you're trying to cram her down out throats before she has even won the nomination (the delegate count is currently at a tie.)

  Your candidate had a campaigner send out e-mails calling Barack a muslim who's trying to destroy the country. When someone at an event commented on Barack being a druggie in the hood, there were chortles of laughter. Bubba Bill has been playing fast and loose with the truth about his opponent....is he so threatened by Barack he has to call "this whole thing" a fairy tale?

  There's a legitimate reason to feel nausiated--it isn't really idealism. It's possible to be a pragmatist and to still find Clinton a disturbingly sleazy candidate. Why don't you try a positive sell of your woman for a change? Yes, we all hate Bush, but some are pointing out Bush isn't running this time. People who hate Bush aren't necessarily going to vote for your candidate just because you call them whiny snot-nosed little wimpy assed kids if they don't?

  Are some of you former Nader supporters who are now down on anyone with a streak of hope in them? You're trying to stamp out the fires of idealism in the next generation makes you look like old, bitter fools. I say that with all due respect. Why don't you try a positive sell for once. I'm not going to vote for Clinton because someone calls me names, bullies me, and condescendingly tells me I have no other options.

  Grow down a little. Your arrogance is contributing to your candidate barely....barely winning the nomination of her own party. Doesn't that ever give you pause?

  It should.
