Run, Hillary, Run!

Jesus fuck, John, who's the horrible human being?

Good God. What is wrong with her? The Clintons and their campaign staff don't give a damn that they are now hurting our electoral chances in the fall against McCain and against the Republicans in Congress. Their campaign isn't happening in some vacuum, and they know it. Our candidates can't fundraise because of her. Obama can't focus on McCain because of her. Obama is wasting money on HER, rather than spending it on McCain, because of her. EMILY's List, and AFSCME, and the American Federation of Teachers and others are wasting their members' money on her now-failed race - money that they could be spending, should be spending, on other real races, races that haven't already lost. She can't win, the math says she lost the nomination, but she doesn't give a damn. She's going to stay in the race like some spoiled hateful egotistical brat.

The Clintons don't give a damn about our party. Their party, their church, is themselves. To hell with everyone else. I actually liked Hillary up until a few months ago. Other bloggers used to tell me that Joe and I were too nice to Hillary. People just assumed that we were endorsing her. Now I actually loathe her. She makes me yell at the TV like she's George Bush, and no one other than George Bush makes me yell at the TV - until now. I actually can't stand her or her husband any more. I defended her. I defended her husband. And now I'm actually wondering if the Republicans weren't right about them. That's how bad she has damaged her reputation. People who actually liked you, who actually helped you, who actually defended you, LOATHE you now. Call me a Clinton-hater all you like, but people like me were the ones who had your back. And we never will again.

The spoiled hateful egotistical brats are the Clinton-haters who can't seem to get it through their thick fucking skulls that this is democracy in action.  It's messy.  It involves allowing folks in West Virginia--who BTW gave Clinton a more than 2:1 victory over Obama--and Oregon a chance to weigh in before you petulantly demand a candidate should leave because you don't like her. 

The party still has lots of fundraising opportunities as the campaign continues, and if you can't figure out how to multitask and attack McCain whilst fighting off a fellow Democrat in a goddamned primary, then you ain't the shit.  All of this might be why a vast majority of Democrats want her to remain in the race.

So go cry in your fucking beer because you can't declare victory.  I mean, hell, elections are all about your feelings...
