Letters to the Editor

I'm breaking my self-imposed exile just this once...
To finally tell all you Hillary supporters out there what my wife loves to say to people that really fuck up something wicked...
"You reap what you sow."
Or, a more appropriate phrase from my father-in-law would be:
"You made your bed, now you gotta sleep in it."
Hillary and Bill will do whatever they can to win, and they will use surrogates to say ANYTHING to try to derail Obama's campaign. Granted, Obama is using surrogates to do the dirty work for his campaign too, but at least he doesn't have to convince his supporters to ruin their reputations just for the sake of getting the 1st. black person in the White House.
You folks claiming that she has a point are COMPLETELY seeing a bunch of trees while missing the forrest right in front of you. This Ferraro comment was NOT an accident, yall...it was a cold and calculated move to try to play the race card without looking obvious about it...and lookey what happened, everyone with at least half a brain in this country saw right through it.
And to all you over-50 feminists that have struggled for decades against a male-dominated society...I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your hard work to close the gender gap for women in our society. Ann Richards and Barbara Jordan would be proud of you...but do you have to scorch the entire f'ing surface of the earth to make sure you get "one of your own" in the White House? Isn't making a difference for today's women enough? Or do you really think the Democratic Party OWES this moment in history to your precisious Hillary Clinton?
Someone joked about the Hell's Grannies crashing the convention in Denver earlier in this forum...I think that's an entirely appropriate characterization of that audience, judging from the shrill objections these ladies constantly made at the Democratic caucus I sat thru last week. The funniest thing about all of this is that as Hillary and her advocates get more desperate, you'll probably be seeing more and more of this crazy shit happening...and despite it all, Obama hasn't lost his cool yet...at least not like Ferraro.
Honestly, I might have joined on the Hillary Clinton Road to of Inevitability Tour at one time, were it not for the fact that the Clintons have bungled their goddamn campaign for months now, just barely snatching themselves from the jaws of defeat at just the right time...against someone that actually has more to say about our future potential as a country, as opposed to just making promises about protecting us from future threats, making veiled promises to help this constituency or that. Bush has been giving us that lie for YEARS now, why would I want to spend another 4 years hearing the same thing...from Hillary?
