fighting the real fight

before i start my rant i have a question…so, um, how “united” are you people who believe in barack’s power to unite willing to go? my hunch is, not far enough to “unite” with hillary, right? some of you have even said to me that if she wins, you wouldn’t vote for her. s’up with that? where’s all the good lovin’ if you can’t handle them as a team?

i guess i think all this weird hostility against hillary–and i’m sure a new round is coming because she stomped the yard in ohio/texas/rhode island–which we can’t celebrate of course because she’s pissing on obama’s party–i guess i think the hill hostility is getting truly misguided.

it’s NOT barack against hillary. he’s probably going to win, and i for one will be happy as a clam if EITHER of them win.

save your energy for the real fight, which is looming on the horizon–the ancient guy who can’t lift his arms all the way up, the guy who keeps calling us “my friends,” the guy my son dubbed “bulby” when he saw him on tv one day, the guy my husband dubbed “caliban” — which made me laugh so hard i peed. as dumb a choice as i think he is, half the nation is scared to death of liberals taking over the country.

or if you are walking around thinking it’s no contest, that barack will smear him, then at least pause for a moment and consider the OTHER fights–republicans, evangelicals, CEO’s of major corporations and oil companies, world leaders who are DYING for obama to win because they think he’s a softy, bigots, racists, xenophobes , extra righteous christian mothers and white rich guys…i assure you, they have not gone away even though their party is fucking up. and they most definately have no interest in “uniting.” i mean, c’mon.

try to remember that there is an UP SIDE to a party getting crushed and going down–they REGROUP with a VENGEANCE. not even the black jesus is going to be able to inspire away that noise. you can bet the farm that whatever they reinvent themselves as, it’s gonna be a whopper. look what they came up with last round.

so my hope is that we save our energy for the REAL fight and enjoy the contest between two astonishingly talented candidates as it plays out. i’m 45, and i remember what “negative campaigning” looks like. this may be a lively contest, with rough and tumble moments, but it’s god damned artful compared to what real negative campaigning looks like. did everyone just get collective amnesia?

oh, and even though i’ve been “for” hillary all these months (i know, what a deluded twat, huh?), i’m perfectly content with the idea of them sharing a ticket. doesn’t scare me or bum me out a bit. and talk about unstoppable…or are we still spookied by inter-racial marriages?
