    Joan, you are making me bitter- and you're not my mother.

    I have been a fan of Salon.com since the beginning- always have turned here first for unbiased and relevant political news. That is, until this presidential campaign. I am increasingly disenchanted by this column's obvious preference for Hillary, masquerading behind an open mind and a woman's perspective. But now I am rethinking my position about this site, exacerbated, Joan, by your frequent appearances on MSNBC, wearing that concerned frown as you make a point that never fails to skew toward Hillary.

    It's one thing to have an opinion, Joan, quite another to bludgeon people with your so-called reasoned arguments. Hillary is my demographic... and I don't want her. Not representing my interests or my point of view. Nor do I want her husband. I was forgiving of the Clintons and their troubles after the impeachment. Now they have exposed themselves for the craven politicians they are, regardless of the harm to the party. To utterly betray the party and join with McCain out of self-interest is appalling. And so is your pro-Hillary drumbeat, Joan. Since you have not been trustworthy or objective, what am I to think of Salon?

    I am capable of reasoned decision and don't need these subtle lectures to understand politics. Now, I'm bitter.
