Hang seperately
I went to Hillary's site last night , as she suggested, to offer my
opinion. I said I would've voted for Bill again if he could've served a
third term. I was always an admirer of both Clintons. But it's time to
unify the party behind Obama. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised,
but reading the comments of her supporters was very unsettling- more
inarticulate and deranged than the most heated American Idol
discussions. Yes, this is a passionate election, but the threats to
vote for McCain and never, ever "that Obama" were startling. I hope
Hillary isn't listening to these messages- or proud of them. Perhaps
this sort of "passion" isn't limited to just her and her website, but
John McCain- sorry- you know better, and I hate to say this- but I'm
not sure I "trust" all of the American people. After all, Bush got in
twice. And there is a lot of sexism and racism, spoken and unspoken
that are big factors here. It's frightening. I live in NY State. I'd be
scared to leave- it's relatively sane here- but not everywhere. Even in
my own circles, I detect these very sins, unspoken, and rationalized
among some acquaintances. One more thing- how is it that so many people
can't spell?
