Hillary or Bust


Why Die-Hard Hillary Supporters Aren’t Coming Around

By Hillary Taft - Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

You have to wonder what journalists and pundits do in their spare time, because they obviously aren’t doing any real research into their stories. As these isolated talking heads continue to scratch their heads as to why Obama isn’t doing better, the best reason they can come up with is “racism.” Never mind all the other reasons why people might not worship at the Altar of Obama, his cult-like status is enough to scare me, never mind the rest of it.

But it doesn’t surprise me one bit to read the latest study that upwards of 30% of Hillary Clinton supporters are not budging in their lack of support for Obama. Oh, once again, the pundits will wring their hands and suggest that it’s just because we’re the “low information, low educated, redneck, racist” portion of the Democratic party. (Never mind the fact that I find myself to be better educated on this election than most everyone I know, and I happen to have a university degree.)

Never mind the fact that while it’s perfectly acceptable and understandable to these pundits for blacks to vote for the black man because he is black, it’s not understandable why women might actually be excited about having a female on the ticket to vote for, even if she’s a conservative.

If any of these so-called journalists actually did their homework and read a few of the PUMA blogs out there, they’d actually understand what’s really going on here. Let me lay it out to you again:

1. Obama stole the nomination through caucus fraud and a sham roll call.
2. He then snubbed Hillary as his VP in favor of a Washington insider, Joe Biden.
3. Sexism against Hillary made all this possible and acceptable.
4. John McCain has shown he is willing and able to listen to PUMAs and thus brought a female VP to his ticket.
5. Sarah Palin (contrary to popular stereotypes) is smart, accomplished, and accessible – she is an inspiration to many of us Hillary supporters who were dejected and disappointed to see the best qualified Democratic candidate – Hillary Clinton – get tossed aside for an underqualified male.

Nowhere in this list of reasons do I see “I don’t want to vote for Obama because he is black.” I won’t vote for Obama solely due to reason 1 – HE STOLE THE NOMINATION! Never mind all his other baggage. For that reason alone, Obama will never get my vote.

You’d think someone in the media would figure this out by now – unless, of course, they are complicit in covering up the voter fraud. Hmm. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

    That is the number one reason (of at least 10) why I wouln’t ever vote for Obama. He, with his organized help with the DNC and old dems, stole the primary through the caucuses. You don’t have to be a science major to figure it out: visit http://www.caucuscheating.com

    This was enough to make this independant turn from a leaning dem to a solid republican.
