The Real Guy. What Was the Point of Hating Hillary?


I needed to pull back from it all. TPM, Huffington Post, Olberman/Meadow, all the Hillary demonizers.  Because I had doubts and suspicions about the character and motivations of Senator Obama and whether he was truly a new bred of politician and a genuine agent of change I expressed my concern. I was told by Obamamaniac's that HRC was a power hungry, Machiavellian politician who would do anything to win votes. How can you not hate her when we have before us a knight in shining new armor who will do things differently, who will bring about real change?  I had doubts. Strong doubts about the man. At the end of the day I was told I was a racist. That was a real cute moment, the progressive wing of the democratic party had become the evangelical wing of the Republican party. So I needed some distance from it all, backed away and shut out all the noise.  Hillary ( the devil ) lost, Obama ( the angel ) won. And now what do we have? I won't go through the entire list of Senator Obama's recent actions just his decision to opt out of public financing and going along with the FISA cave in. I know all the political reasons why it was a smart thing to do so spare me the list.  He is not an agent of real change, he is not a new bred of politician, he is not going to change the system. He is everything I thought he was...a politician, sly, slick, scheming, willing to do whatever it takes to win votes and power. Please understand, I have NO PROBLEM with that. But what was the point of hating Hillary? We got her anyway.
