hillary clinton supporters will almost all be barack obama supporters

i was worried earlier about hillary clinton supporters defecting en masse to john mccain. but frank rich of the new york times has shown convincingly that that will probably not happen. so, there is nothing to worry about with regard to the clintons. barack obama is doing very well in the latest polls, beating john mccain convincingly in groups like hispanics and women that were considered core hillary clinton demographics. john mccain is still winning working-class white males, but they have not supported a democrat for president since 1964; they are a key republican demographic, not swing voters. technically i am a working-class white male but i am one of the barack obama supporters in that group. anyway, john mccain faces challenges not only from barack obama but he has similar issues to the ones obama has from clintonites: many conservatives and libertarians are not supporting john mccain since he is not conservative or libertarian enough for them, and many of the more moderate republicans are actually supporting barack obama. there are a lot more prominent republicans supporting obama than prominent democrats supporting mccain. and joe lieberman as the poster boy for mccain’s bipartisanship does more harm than good, since joe lieberman is well known as a neoconservative warmonger and traitor to the democratic party. joe lieberman’s traitorous nature goes back many years: he was the first major democrat to publicly condemn president bill clinton for the monica lewinsky affair. since then, he has gradually become more and more opposed to the democrats and our agenda, and we tried to purge the traitor in our midst in 2006 when he was up for re-election. sadly joe lieberman won re-election, since all the republicans voted for him, as well as the establishment wing of the democrats. since that time, people in connecticut have woken up to the fact that they made a mistake, and now he is very unpopular in his home state and would not be able to win re-election if the election were held today. joe lieberman’s political career ends when his senate term ends in 2012, unless he gets a job in a republican administration, since no democrat would ever hire him. and john mccain has been running a potemkin village campaign to try to win over hillary clinton supporters, by pretending he and his campaign staff have genuine affection for hillary clinton and that they really believe she was unfairly treated by the media because of sexism. in reality, john mccain does not like clinton or obama, and people in his campaign all know that obama won the democratic nomination fair and square, by winning the most votes, the most states, the most pledged delegates, and the most superdelegates. we should not forget how john mccain called his wife a “cunt”, how he laughed and smiled when one of his supporters asked (with regard to hillary clinton) “how do we beat the bitch?”, and how he divorced his original wife after coming home from vietnam because she had been disfigured in a car accident and had gained weight, and went on to marry a younger, more attractive woman as his second wife. john mccain is not exactly a friend to womankind, since he would put justices on the supreme court who would overturn roe v. wade, and we only need 1 more ultra-conservative on the court for that to happen, since currently 4 of the 9 justices are ultra-conservative radicals (scalia, thomas, roberts, and alito). the oldest man on the supreme court, justice stevens, is one of the 4 who are more liberal (with justice kennedy as the moderately conservative swing vote). anyone who is an actual liberal who cares about the issues should obviously vote for barack obama. as for conservatives or libertarians, bob barr is running as a libertarian, and he has the support of ron paul. join the ron paul/bob barr libertarian quest for the presidency! to hell with john mccain! john mccain is exactly like george w. bush except older and even more of a war hawk. electing mccain would ruin this country even worse than what bush has done. the only people who should support mccain are those who think bush has done a good job as president and want the next president to stay the course and not change anything. anyone else who supports mccain is completely deluded about the facts, and is in dire need of some education. sure john mccain points to a record of bipartisanship as a senator, but george w. bush also had a record of bipartisanship as a governor of texas. john mccain might not be a total right-wing wacko on everything; he actually believes in global warming, for instance. but his few deviances from conservative republican orthodoxy hide the fact that overall he is quite conservative and is a loyal bush republican. anyway, if you don’t believe in global warming, vote libertarian! they don’t believe in it either! john mccain is such a doofus, he doesn’t even know how to use computers! he is afraid of computers and doesn’t go near them! do we really need a technophobe as president? i think not. i use computers all the time and you are probably reading this with a computer... imagine a president who doesn’t know how to do any of that shit. i bet even george w. bush knows how to use the internets. imagine a president even dumber than george w. bush. and no, barack obama isn’t stupid; he was president of the harvard law review and a law professor at the university of chicago. john mccain is the dummy. remember the bill clinton of yesteryear? bill clinton was a genius, a rhodes scholar, and was young and a very charismatic public speaker when he ran for president and won in 1992. barack obama combines those good qualities bill clinton had with honesty and integrity, two qualities bill clinton has shown himself to be rather lacking in. oh sure, barack obama is not perfect, and he is not the best person to be president. the best person to be president is senator russ feingold of wisconsin, but he has never wanted to run for president. but you know what? life is about compromise, and you never get perfection, especially not in politics. barack obama is the best candidate running for president of the united states, because those few people who would be even better are not even running. and the best of the republican candidates was ron paul. i wish ron paul were the republican nominee instead of john mccain. john mccain is the worst possible nominee for the republicans to pick, precisely because he has the best chance of winning. but i am glad that mike huckabee and mitt romney lost, because they were both religious wackos who wanted to end separation of church and state, and their other policies were equally bad. john mccain would not be quite as bad as them, because they are even worse than bush. john mccain would just be a continuation of the status quo under bush. but even that would be horrible.

update: maybe i am wrong about hillary clinton supporters. just look at these comments on cnn.com. there are certainly many people posting on the internet that they are hillary clinton supporters who will vote for john mccain in november, although none of them have logical reasons for doing so. are they all republican trolls working in operation chaos or the “p.u.m.a.” (party unity my ass) astroturf operation? or are some of them actual (former) democrats? whoever they are, they are not liberals, they are not true democrats, and we do not need them to win in november. these fools are of no consequence. let them vote for john mccain... they are nothing but a bunch of whiny drama queens who need to grow up, and while they may seem numerous online, ron paul supporters also seem numerous online, and look how badly he lost. these people are just a bunch of sore losers who are on the wrong side of history. everyone who says “mccain '08 hillary '12” is an idiot. there is no way in hell hillary clinton will ever be a democratic presidential nominee, ever. and she is not going to get on the supreme court, either: she failed her bar exam after graduating law school. and she cannot win the presidency as an independent, nor will she run as one. barack obama just hired former hillary clinton campaign manager patti solis doyle, and some hillary clinton supporters have had completely insane responses to this, such as calling it the “biggest fuck you i have ever seen in politics.” what is wrong with obama hiring people who worked in the clinton campaign? her campaign is over and he is the democratic nominee now. i just don’t get it. people need to move on and realise they lost. it’s not like hillary clinton lost to a conservative republican like john mccain. she lost to a liberal democrat: barack obama! now who would have a problem with electing a liberal democrat? answer: a conservative republican. anyone who does not support the democratic nominee now is not a democrat, and is a traitor to the party just like joe lieberman and zell miller. we have zero tolerance for traitors in our party. the traitors can go ahead and vote republican, but don’t go around pretending to be democrats, you liars. if i had less honesty and integrity, i might go around commenting on blogs pretending to be a disaffected mitt romney or mike huckabee supporter and denounce mccain while endorsing obama. but i won’t, because that would be stupid and dishonest. i have more class than these republican trolls who pretend to be hillary supporters.
