Open Letter to Hillary Supporters

okay, my lovelies.... it's time we have a heart-to-heart talk.

i realize we all have some hurt feelings. i understand the disappointment when hillary officially dropped out of the race just over a week ago. i agree with charges of sexism and media bias.

i understand all of this....

but people! john mccain...? seriously? i mean, you gotta be fucking kidding me!

i heard the woman on msnbc who volunteered for months on the hillary campaign but swore she would not "follow" hillary in her support of barack obama for president.

i saw the 'mo on the daily show who swore he was as "gay as the day is long" but would never vote for obama and will now vote for mccain.

i think, possibly, my head might explode.

are you all fucking idiots?!?! you were obviously smart enough to support hillary in the primary season...so you must have some semblance of intelligence... how can you suddenly switch to john "the cryptkeeper" mccain?

first....i guess we should dispel some of the rumors perpetuated by the media. it's true that they love john mccain. i'm not sure why but they decided long ago that johnny boy was an independent maverick that was due our respect.

fuck. that. noise.

whoever john mccain may have been back in 2000 he is no longer. he is not a maverick. he is not an independent. he is george fucking bush with a brain...which makes him all the more dangerous.

let's review: he supports the bush tax cut for the wealthiest of americans. he didn't for the first two votes... but when the vultures were circling his campaign last summer with his stance on illegal immigration, mccain rallied the conservative bandwagon and voted for the bush tax cut.

and as robert reich pointed on this weekend on this week, mccain not only wants to continue the bush tax cuts for the wealthiest fuckers in the country...he wants to go one step beyond! mccain also wants tax cuts for the biggest corporations in the country.

so while we're paying $4 at the pump, ole johnny boy wants to help out shell and exxon/mobile with tax breaks... because apparently their record profits just aren't cutting it these days.

secondly, beyond the rhetoric and sound bites...mccain wants to "stay the course" in iraq. ignore the "100 years" and bringing the troops home "isn't important" comments if you like... that's fine.

ignore what you want... but he wants to keep the troops in iraq. he wants to continue the war. i understand that mccain doesn't think bringing the troops home is as important as the number of casualties...but think: "if we bring the troops home...we definitely won't have any more causalities."

i guess this is too big a concept for the cryptkeeper to wrap his 100-year old brain around.

if you want to bring the troops home... if you want to end the war in iraq in a timely and responsible fashion - you must vote for obama.

and finally... let's discuss the latest results from some of the polls out there. the latest WSJ/NBC poll shows a significant number of women will support mccain over obama. this includes all you hillary supporters.

i must once again stress this point: mccain is a conservative. he is pro-life. he does not believe in a woman's right to choose... he does not believe in reproductive rights.

PLEASE stop listening to the media and their love affair with the "maverick war hero."

WOMEN! PLEASE! how can you vote against your own rights as a woman?

mccain has been consistent in one thing: his stance against reproductive rights. he wants to end roe v. wade and he wants to take away your right to choose.

now, i know there's a lot of talk about obama's trouble with white working-class men and white women... but let me be frank: i don't give a fuck about white men. as charlie cook said: the democrats haven't won white men since LBJ - so i'm not concerned.

but women.... in particular my fellow hillary supporters... it's time to lick your wounds and wake up and smell the formaldehyde that keeps mccain looking alive. he is not your friend. he will not protect you.

we need to focus on getting obama elected. he wants to end the war. he is pro-choice. he believes in gay rights.

don't let your anger towards an unfair primary season destroy us for the next four years. we need a democrat in the white house. we need to support barack obama.

just take a moment and think... mccain is not who the media paints him out to be.

he's satan.

he's a third bush term.

think....

you're smart women. i know you'll come to the right decision in november.

obama '08.
