So I'm sure that pegs me as a Clinton Supporter. Deal with it.
Pardon me if I don't buy into the 'hoping for change' myth......and excuse me if I don't get chills down my spine when Obama speaks or when teenage children advise me to vote Obama because they know he's the one.
Being able to give charismatic speeches that fill your followers with 'hope for change' does not a hero make. Unfortunately with a generation fed on Hollywood, MTV and text messages, the soundbites are what have educated many.
So I'm cynical, I'm jaded and I'm pissed off. I don't really want a feel good candidate that wants to 'bring us all together'. I ****ing want a candidate who will ****ing kick some Republican Ass as soon as she is nominated. I want someone who can hold her own when the big boys start lobbing the shitballs in her direction..........just as she has stood up to the caca from her own kind for months on end now. I want someone who can stand up to the criticism and STILL stay on the issues....the Economy, health care, Foreign Policy for grown-ups.
I don't want to get along with all the assholes that got America into this mess in the first place and if that attitude makes me a has been old fuddy duddy according to the mainstream press and Obama then they can **** off in tandem.
I have sat and watched so much bullshit come down the pike for the past 7 years that there's no way I want to kiss and make up and feel good about nothing in America. You don't like my anger? Then you can **** off too.
This is not high school or college. This is real world, down and dirty politcs and if you want to beleive that anyone is going to change the system so radically that we will live in cities paved with gold and all love one another is beyond being naive....it's downright dangerous.
Wanting a 'love in' when we are clearly going into the biggest fight we have had yet is asking to lose. I'm not reaching out to any god damned Republicans for nothing. No way.
