My last Clinton rant (I hope)

I never wanted to Blog about politics, I want to write about things like personal finance, consumption, talk about not feeding from the trough just because you could, about taking back some of the direction of our lives and taking some responsibility for our actions.

But when the BS detector goes off, and it has since Iowa I guess, I get a little ranty.

I’m a Obama supporter. My reasons are my own, but mainly I support Obama because I believe what he says and he doesn’t scare me.

Just because I’m pro Obama, does not mean that I’m anti Clinton. She’s a great Senator and she’s a good candidate, she just isn’t the best. She couldn’t manage her money, she couldn’t keep her word, and she kept trying to make 2+2=5. After tonight, tomorrow at the latest, Obama will be the nominee. Period.

SHE LOST, DEAL WITH IT. I’m sick of hearing this “If you are not with us you are against us” nonsense that is being spouted by Hillary supporters. It’s time for all the house fraus with the stickers on their foreheads to suck it up and get in line. This “If I can’t vote for Hillary I’m voting for McCain” tantrum is petty and childish and has just got to stop. Stop living vicariously through Hillary and go back to living vicariously through your kids or your co workers or your soap operas or romance novels or what have you. Or better yet, find your own dreams, and start trying to live those. Stop being afraid of black men. They aren’t all bad, in fact, very few of them are actually bad if you actually stop and get to know some. So just stop. It’s not the Hillary party, it’s not the Clinton party, it’s the Democratic party, and saying that you are going to vote for another party out of spite just goes to show that you don’t give a shit about our country, your children, our soldiers, our economy, our health care system, our environment, it goes to show that all you care about is winning and if you can’t win, you are just going to take your toys and go home.

I hope you don’t teach your children to play that way.

The rules are simple, the other guy just got more votes, Period. Now I know, I know, if you count the state where he wasn’t on the ballot, if you count the island that doesn’t get to vote in the general election, and if you don’t count the caucus states that don’t keep popular vote totals, and you count the votes that she got when she ran for the 8th grade class treasurer, then fine, she got more votes, but come on. Seriously? Seriously! Listen to yourself.

There was no theft, no sexism, no conservative media bias, no liberal media bias, no secret alien mind control, she just didn’t get the votes to win.

Wow, feels good to get that out.

I’m not trying to hate here, but enough is enough. I know how it is, believe me. It’s like following a team all season, rooting them on, going to the games, buying the gear, learning the stats only to have them blow it in the first quarter of the championship. You start blaming the refs, the field, the weather, you accuse the other team of cheating. You hold on hope to the bitter end praying for a miracle, but at the end of the game, the score is the score. You scream, you cry, you rant and rave, that’s fine, it’s natural. However at the end of the day what you do not do is start cheering for the rivals.

That’s just childish.
