Hillary Hysteria Mounts

Part of one of the emails I received today.
…As a woman, I am supposed to support a candidate who refers to women as “sweetie.”
Now the elegant speaker continues to flip-flop and show his true colors.…Blocking a role call in Denver will only enrage people like me more. I
suggest you keep your negative comments to yourself and understand, people
like me will not fall in line because you say so. My vote is mine and it is
my right to use it as I want.You, and the Democratic Party, underestimate the negative feelings you have
created by the treatment of Senator Clinton and President Clinton. I am sick
of your whining and accusations. Neither of you have given me any reason to
be proud to be a Democrat or to cast my vote for Obama. Why are you so opposed
to Senator Clinton? She has more experience, more personal appeal, and a proven
record. Obama has no experience, comes across as arrogant, and no record.
The more we hear about him, the less we trust him.LindaM
That’s rich, my whining?
Now I’m “opposed” to Hillary?
This one is even better:
Please stop trying to supress our vote. Last I heard we live in a Democracy and we have a right to our vote.
I am so disappointed hat you only want to let the people that agree with you the right to vote.
We want a roll call vote at the Democratic Convention….
RobinH
“Suppress our vote”?
Unhinged Hillary hysteria has now replaced supporting what Hillary Clinton has requested of all her supporters: to help elect a Democrat in November by working to elect Barack Obama. Hey, but to these people what Senator Clinton wants doesn’t matter.
What about what’s good for Senator Clinton? That no longer matters either. For anti
Obama zealots it’s all about them now, their vote, what they
want. It’s tragic because their hysteria is only going to backfire on Hillary.
Because if people like LindaM and RobinH have their way there will be bedlam at the Democratic
convention. Of course, they won’t be blamed for that, Hillary will.
I assure you, none of this Hillary hysteria is condoned by Senator Clinton. She
also can’t control it.
Linking and agreeing with Craig Crawford who wrote that Obama won’t allow a roll call vote has brought a new brand of hysteria to my inbox. The fact is that Hillary is negotiating her part at the convention at present. It’s up to her. What I want for Hillary is whatever she decides is in her best interest. Speech in primetime, with all eyes on Hillary Clinton, with the convention floor breaking out in applause that lasts for… .. sounds like a start. Of course, I wanted her to be the nominee, but we did not prevail. Causing chaos at the convention won’t change that fact, even though that’s what many of these people believe. As I’ve said innumerable times, I’m not part of the Hillary hysteria crowd. I follow Senator Clinton’s lead. To do otherwise is to disrespect her and put the power base she’s worked hard to build in jeopardy. The ignorance of people who don’t understand how party politics works is frightening.
The chaos being promoted by these types of people is counterproductive and will have a bad ending, especially for them. What are they going to do after the Democratic convention? They can vote however they choose, I don’t care. But I won’t support their efforts to take down Hillary in the process, however unwitting, though I’ve been warning them for weeks.
What they also refuse to realize is that Hillary is working with her own best
interest in mind. She won’t negotiate anything at the convention that isn’t
what she has earned, with the help of all of us. Why don’t these people trust Hillary’s judgment anymore? Because the Democratic
convention has become all about them, with the intent of these groups,
by whatever name, to cause chaos at the convention. This wouldn’t just hurt Democrats, Obama, and our efforts to change this country, but it will all be
blamed on Hillary. It’s happening already.
to be continued…
