This independent voter...
...thinks its kinda funny in a sad way the way that all the Democrats around here are trying their absolute best to rip each other's throats out around here. I definitely admit to taking part in the debates of course, but at least I try never to stoop to the vitriol some people here do. Entertaining as it is.
I beginning to really think that all this worry about the race doing serious unfixable damage to your party might have something to it. I usually don't buy crap like that; I mean dyed in the wool Democrats vote for Democrats just as blindly as dyed in the wool Republicans vote for Republicans. But this is a really unprecedented situation, and its getting uglier by the day.
And honestly, seeing as how Clinton can't honestly think she can gain any kind of legitimate victory, I'm not sure how all this damage can't be placed squarely at her and her campaign's feet. Anyone else would have quit the race by now if they hadn't just been shoved off the stage, specifically to avoid this kind of mess.
You might think that my fondness for Obama is coloring my judgement here, and maybe it is, but facts are facts; she can't win. And if she thinks she's getting another chance in four years if Obama and the party are so damaged by her ambition that they lose, she really has to be delusional.
Oh, and by the way, Smith, to something you said a few pages ago- Even if I was a Democrat, and not an independent, It would not be treason to vote for McCain.
It would, however, be utterly disgraceful to vote for someone who I honestly believe is a crook and a liar.
