She insists on proving my point.
As desperation kicks butt big time, Hillary is unveiling her real self. And it is ugly, very ugly. She shows herself once and again as someone who goes against the grain of my values.
A few months back, I realized that it would be extremely difficult (impossible?) for me to vote Hillary in the GE if she won the nomination by "stealing" it.
The longer she stays in this race for the nomination, the more she shows her deep uglyness. Not because she has long run her course, but because of the strategies she is willing to use to hold on.
And holding on she is... Now that it is clear (even to the Media!!) that she could grab the nomination only by stealing it, she keeps trying.
Is it just me or do others understand why I could never vote for her? And that I don't want her in the ticket?
(PS: I could never vote for McCain either. If she was to steal the nomination I would be left with what choices? This Two(All-Powerful)-Party System sucks, doesn't it? Yeah!! Long Live Capitalism!!)
(PS2: In reference to the Supreme Court and the Iraq War, I have no reason whatsoever to believe that Hillary would do what is right.)

I totally understand. You would have to betray your own principles. And you're not able to do that. I respect that. Each person has to search his or her own conscience. That's my reason for supporting Obama. The man has a conscience. He consults it. He inspires us to listen to our "better angels." Whereas hillary seems to pander to the worst.
By the way I want to thank you for setting me straight on that error in the post on Bob Herbert's column. I left an apology for that. You are to be commended for setting me straight. And for the dignified way you did it. I salute you!
I think the race is going to wind down. I hope and pray he is our next president.

No problem (re post on Herbert's column.) At first I didn't understand what you meant, so I read the article again; then I realized it had to do with the Blog's title.
Yes, it will wind down. I don't think (fortunately!) there is a single chance for Hillary to grab the nomination. I believe that casting a vote in November would be easy and full of pleasure.
However, she is getting harder and harder to watch and swallow.

I feel the exact same way. If she somehow comes away with the nomination I will not know what to do.
I'll probably have to take a vacation out of the country so I am physically unable to vote.
I don't think I can bring myself to support her after she has so gleefully shown the world her ass.

You know you can send your absentee ballot ahead of time, no?...
