I repeat, it is the spineless weasles who call themselves independents who since 2000 are more interested in the frivolous, "a president you can have beer with" or "Al Gore invented the internet" or "swiftboat attack" that according to the exit polls and the media delivered the presidency to Bush. You can now conveniently say you voted for the Democrats even though you claim otherwise. You could have voted for Nader or anybody for all I care stop this inflammatory attack on Hillary to polarize the Democratic party.
The primaries are over, Obama won and we are attempting to unite the party. Whether Hillary was the favorite or not is beside the point. It is not unusual. Romney had the money and the conservative base behind him and so was Rudy Gulliani in the Republican party while McCain was almost forgotten and left without money until events turned in his favor. That is politics and it is ridiculous to use it to destroy Hillary.
Continuously litigating the primary on why she lost and how awful and untrustworthy (as if any politician is)she is, in my opinion is counterproductive to the party and I am not going to allow a self-described independent to do that.
Go and support your so-called "maverick" who is a flip-flopper extraordinnaire and who is going to continue Bush's disastrous 8 year policies and let us Democrats heal and unite to defeat him. It has been the modus operandi of the Republican party with the help of the corporate lazy media to sow the seed of discord among the Democrats to allow weak candidates like Bush and McCain to sneak through. I have had it up my eyebrows with this tactics of "divide and conquer" that has allowed the Republicans to depress the Democratic base voter turnout and the so-called independents to align themselves with these Republicans to elect one of the most disastrous presidents we have ever had. Leave us alone.
