    Et tu, Brute?

    I have never in my life witnessed anything more cynical and subversive than the Clinton campaign's attemp to brand Obama an elitist, "foreign" and unelectable.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Working class voters will see through it. Obama is an intellectual, not an elitist. There is a world of difference between these two things.

    Furthermore, he has more sensitivity and compassin in his right pinky than Clinton has in her whole calculating and opportunistic body. People also see that pretty damn clearly.

    These same liberals are fearful of the Republican attack machine, probably because they have been traumatized by it. They believe Obama to be unelectable for a whole host of reasons, most of which have nothing to do with reality. The reality being that he has won election after election with huge voter turnouts after so many have said all along he couldn't do it. But, he did do it and he is DOING IT!

    And why is it that a majority of Republicans would prefer to run against Hillary Clinton? How do these same liberals explain this? Is it some kind of reverse psychology scheme? Give me a freakin' break.

    Your explanations and reasons for Clinton and against Obama all amount to hogwash. I call bullshit on all of you.

    Obama is the most charismatic, dynamic Democratic leader we've had in decades and Republicans know it. They know that once working class voters see him standing next to McCain and compare their messages, there will only be a snow ball's chance in hell that they can win in November.

    So Clinton supporters: GET OVER YOURSELVES! Your candidate is losing and will lose. Take a deep breath and join us or get the hell out of the way.

    Is that smug enough for you! My smugness comes from your eagerness to twist the truth in your candidate's favor. I expect as much from Repubicans but not you. As for the Republicans: I ain't afraid of no Repubican. Bring it on!
