Bitter Clinton Supporters Send Vile Emails

Desperately trying to bail a rapidly sinking ship, a bitter and petulant Clinton campaign has inundated uncommitted Super Delegates with vicious anti-Obama emails.

This is typical of the Clinton's 1990s style, of course. Senator Clinton is pursuing the "strategic hamlet" scenario from the Vietnam War: destroying the village (or in the case the Party) in order to "save it."

She is a bitter and angry woman who clearly doesn't care how her actions may ultimately effect the United States in the November election.

Under no circumstances am I willing to vote for her any longer. I hope you feel the same.

An excerpt from the Huffington Post:

As the Democratic primary nears its long-awaited conclusion, undecided superdelegates have been drowned under a sudden deluge of angry, sometimes vicious emails from Hillary Clinton supporters urging them to not fall in line behind Barack Obama.

The letter writing campaign picked up steam late Thursday evening when several superdelegates confirmed that a coordinated effort had been launched, apparently independent of Clinton's campaign, to raise last-minute concerns about Obama's candidacy and present the specter of voter defections should the Illinois Democrat become the nominee.

In more than dozen messages sent yesterday evening and shared with The Huffington Post, supporters of Clinton emailed a laundry list of political and exceedingly personal attacks on Obama's candidacy, including criticisms of his prior associations and claims that he, not Clinton, had played the race card. The letters underscore the high emotional pitch of the late stage Democratic primary as well as the utter conviction among many supporters of both campaigns that their candidate is solely worthy of the nomination.

Bill Clinton's Meltdown

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, former President Bill Clinton launched a major tirade against the Bill Richardson at a meeting of super delegates over the weekend.

I'm not surprised. The Clintons seem to feel that the White House is theirs by right. Since Bush has been such a disaster, I had forgotten about Clinton's inner rage and constant tirades when he doesn't get what he wants, or believes he deserves. He doesn't seem to realize that he has done far more damage to Senator Clinton's presidential campaign than he has helped.

Clinton Campaign Makes Obama Blacker

In a move born from desperation before Tuesday's primaries, the Clinton Campaign published images of Senator Barak Obama which were altered to make him appear "blacker":

This is a move of desperation and of racism by a campaign determined to win at any cost.

Sad, Senator Clinton. Very, very sad.

This is why I have been supporting Barak Obama since the start, because I don't think he would stoop to such disgraceful tactics.

Statistical Evidence of the Failure of the Bush Administration

Quite a record. Evidence of the failure of the most incompetent presidential administration in the history of the United States.

God How I Wish He Kept Drinking

From an interview given by President Bush to ABCNews about his alcoholism:

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, President Bush spoke more candidly than ever before about his past alcohol addiction.

"I doubt I'd be standing here if I hadn't quit drinking whiskey, and beer and wine and all that," the president disclosed Tuesday to ABC News' Martha Raddatz during an exclusive tour of the White House residence.

So, in other words, but for a bottle of Jack Daniels, the United States could have been spared the onslaught of the worst president in the history of the nation?

Damn.

Please, Mister Bush, do your patriotic duty: resign and start drinking again!

Oh, and take Cheney with you, please.

High-Ranking Officers Demand Repeal of Don't Ask/Don't Tell

Several high-ranking military officers have marked the 14th anniversary of the silly "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" policy concerning homosexuals serving in the United States armed forces by drafting a letter to Congress demanding its repeal. This is very welcome news to those of us who believe this policy is not only silly but blatantly un-American, and damaging to our national security.

These are true men of honor and wisdom. You can read an article about the letter •here•.

The text of the letter:

We respectfully urge Congress to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Those of us signing this letter have dedicated our lives to defending the rights of our citizens to believe whatever they wish. As General Colin Powell, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs said when the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was enacted, it is not the place of the military or those in senior leadership to make moral judgments.

Scholarly data show that there are approximately one million gay and lesbian veterans in the United States today, as well as 65,000 gays and lesbians currently serving in our armed forces. They have served our nation honorably.

We support the recent comments of another former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General John Shalikashvili, who has concluded that repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy would not harm, and would indeed help, our armed forces. As is the case in Britain, Israel, and other nations which allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality. Such collaboration reflects the strength and the best traditions of our democracy.
