Simply arrogant
For starters, I admit very freely that as progressive or liberal as I am politically, I have never fully liked the Clintons, and honestly can't say I've really believed a word out of Hillary's mouth in about ten years.
That being said, this Florida and Michigan buisness is truly the very lowest thing I think she has done that I am aware of. It is truly the height of arrogance for her to try to scam and scheme her way to the nomination with crap like this. What's even worse she doesn't even appreciate just how scummy this whole thing is. It's degrading for her to treat Florida voters as nothing more than a PR stunt, and its a shame that residents of Florida didn't realize this. She doesn't give a crap about Floridians, or people in Michigan. And what's even more degrading; she honestly thinks this weak spin she is putting on it actually makes sense and is fooling anyone.
It does suck that the Florida GOP screwed the Florida Dems, and the DNC's response was definitely far more draconian than it should have been. Same goes for Michigan. But if Clinton really had a problem with it, she shouldn't have agreed to the boycotts in the first place.
I know, you think that I'm being partial, because I don't like Clinton. But I guarantee you that if it was Edwards or Obama who did this sleazy tactic I would be just as disgusted. But the thing is, neither of them would do something like this, because they both have real character. Not only does Clinton not have any real character, but she doesn't even think appearing to have any matters. At least Bill Clinton, if he didn't actually have any, tried to appear to have some while President.
This is why John McCain will kill her in a general election. Because people like me will never under any circumstances vote for her. I will vote for McCain, and bank my hopes on the democratic congress to reign him in on the social issues.
I will vote for McCain happily over Clinton, even though my views are more in line with what Clinton supposedly believes. In my mind it doesn't matter what policies she claims to be for, I don't trust her to keep a single pledge. Against the other GOP candidates, okay, I likely would vote for her, because they're a bunch of crooks just like Clinton, and when the choice is between the sleazy conservative and the sleazy liberal, I'll hold my nose and vote for the liberal. But against McCain, I'd rather go with a conservative I believe than a liberal that I don't trust.
