Umm...you can jazz up the semantics involved any way that you please, but if you'd rather see McCain in the WH than Obama, I suggest a mental health battery at your first opportunity.

The logic that you use is skewed and sour in equal parts with a dash of illogic.

I voted for Hillary. And I'll damn well vote for Obama. Because, you know, he more strongly represents what I believe. Perhaps you dig humping big oil, hanging out in Iraq until the 2020s and using fear as a leadership tool.

>>it might be in the best interest of folks who have supported HRC....to sit down, shut up, and get with the program anyway<<

Great way to win folks over. You should get a job on MSNBC. Olbermann would hire you to take Hillary into a room and only you would come out.

Intimidation, threats of a "third Bush presidency", or screaming about Supreme Court appointments - heard 'em all. Don't care. If my own damn party is willing to disenfranchise two states and half of their membership to foist an unvetted, inexperienced "Elvis" candidate on us then they are not my party anymore. Donna Brazile has already told us to stay home this fall. That's just what I plan on doing.

Thanks for this post, Bonobo.

Well said.

I support Obama, but if Hillary won, I'd vote for her even though I have disliked her campaign's behavior toward my candidate. The truth is she would be better than McCain.

Reasons not to vote for McCain (if you're a woman (of if you are human):

With justices Roberts and Alito, all we need is one more like-minded justice appointed by McCain to replace 87-year-old Justice Stevens, and they will vote to eliminate or significantly reduce the existing rights of Roe vs. Wade.

McCain opposed a bill in April that sought equal pay for women saying it would lead to more lawsuits.

Despite research showing the ineffectiveness of abstinence programs, McCain does not support sex education programs including discussions about contraception and AIDS prevention. In fact, McCain didn’t even know that contraception can help prevent the spread of AIDS. In the past three years, he voted “no” on money for preventive health services targeted at unintended and teen pregnancies, and he voted “no” for comprehensive sex education for teens.

The Children’s Defense Fund Action Council, whose founder employed Hillary Clinton but supports Barack Obama, has listed McCain as the worst Senator for children for either missing the votes (80% of the time) or voting against issues related to children such as protecting children from unsafe medications, reducing college costs, and improving Head Start programs.

Need other reasons for women to vote against McCain? What about the mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters and wives losing loved ones in Iraq? What about tax cuts for the rich while working-class women try to care for their families? What about a health care plan, like McCain’s, that does not cover illnesses such as cancer and diabetes, two leading causes of death in women? What about civil rights, something John McCain voted against in 1990?

I'm a Democrat, and I'm a woman, and Cynthia Ruccia does not represent my views at all!
