Must Reads: Make them earn it
Riverdaughter: Yinz got it backwards
Did he once stand up for women and tell the media to can the sexist crap? He’s unseasoned, completely inexperienced, unaccomplished and can’t discuss policy without 6 prepositional phrases and 4 subclauses in a labyrinthine run on sentence that ultimately means nothing while she dances around him like Butterfly Muhammed Ali.
In short, he has had an almost frictionless path to the nomination with mines like Wright and obstacles like FL and MI conveneintly cleared before him by the party itself and a sycophantic press. And now that he has had his thugs beat us up, we are supposed to “gracefully” hand over our lunch money?
In your f&*)ing dreams, Turk.
Obama has choices too. He could continue to cater to an ever shrinking pseudo-Democratic coalition running a Republican lite version of High Broderism and deliberately alienate half of his party or he could actually make an effort to stop pissing us off. He wants something I have. It is incumbent on HIM to gracefully kiss my ass to get it.
Riverdaughter: Thursday: Make them earn it
If he really wants the nomination, he has to come to YOU and address YOUR needs. If isn’t your responsibility to give up YOUR hopes and dreams to quell the panic of a bunch of Obama supporters who are trying to shove Obama down our throats whether he’s good for the country or not. Are the Obama supporters more afraid of McCain or Hillary? Time to make a choice.
You have a choice. If roe v wade is so important to you, if you dread 4 more years of Republican rule, you have an obligation to put you words into action and put the candidate most likely to beat McCain at the top of your ticket. It is not our obligation to continue to indulge you in your fantasy. We are backing the strongest candidate and if you continue to try to drag us down the road to destruction of our chances in November and our party, we are standing firm and will not join you. Savvy? There are still three choices in this race. Choose wisely. It is not too late to seat MI and FL and save face.

Holy shit are they for fucking real?
God, I would bet everything they own that if Obama gets the nomination, the entire Senate is going to force Clinton to stand on stage while they do a dance to “Dirt off the Shoulder” and at the end, they all turn and point into the cameras and scream, “This means you, AMERICA!” The audacity of these people is beyond belief. They just can’t help themselves.
Yeah, I’d like to be insulted, guilt tripped, and bullied into wasting my vote on a crew of assholes who want to destroy this party completely, but I’m busy that week. I think America is busy, too.
And you know, it didn’ have to be this way. Who started out not feeling positive about Obama? Virtually no one. Who thought they’d not be voting for whoever won this as usual? They brought it all on themselves. Fine. You don’t need us. Good luck.
