  Sexist Story

  This story is written by a woman who definitely doesn't agree with the people she writes about and her manner is one of condescension. She lists what she believes are reasons, mostly that women (not just voters of either sex) are angry and refusing to vote for Barack Obama out of spite. We are supposed to believe that the Democratic Party is our true home are we have left it in hurt and anger. This is like an abusive husband who believes that the last punch wasn't the last and that the wife will soon come home. In this scenario, I can tell you, the wife is off doing some other things now and is final in her decision not to come back.

  I was a member of the Democratic Party and technically still am. I just won't be supporting or voting for the presumptive presidential nominee. The party has been fundamentally changed in this election and things aren't going back to where they were before. I'm moving on just as the Democratic Party wants to and seems to be angry at me for not buying into their brand. They can't nominate a guy who runs as a different politician then try to punish people who don't agree with the supposed difference or buy into the idea. I see an nominee who is grossly unqualified and basically barnstormed into the nomination by bullying people and banking on animosity of the Clintons. Obama supporters claim he bring "a new kind of politics". He is not just another Democratic nominee, he is a fake in all sense of the word and shouldn't have been given the support he had. This is not a choice between Gore or Clinton, or Clinton or Kerry, this is a choice of a candidate who was suitable for the job and one who is wholly unsuitable. It is a disgrace that the Democratic Party chose him and why the party is so discredited in many people's eyes. I am a member of PUMA by the way and will be around for awhile as I love politics. I will make sure that Barack Obama isn't supported by me financially in this election and will not support an organization that will provide him with funds. It is my personal statement about this mess.
