The word “bitter” has become something of a catch word this past two weeks. By now you know that Obama was caught saying that working-class white folks are bitter and thus cling to guns and religion. Is that really that far from the truth? I’ll leave that for another day and for you to judge. No I’d like to write about another “bitter” segment of society, the “it’s Hillary’s turn” crowd. Well maybe I shouldn’t have used the word “crowd” since from what I’ve seen it’s more of a gaggle. Let’s go with Hillary’s Bitter Gaggle.
I found one such group of Bitter Hillites over at Confluence. After you’ve read this please pay them a visit.
What you’ll find over there is a group of out of touch folks who somehow think that Hillary is the answer. They’ve taken to commenting on the nuances of Obama’s body language and comparing it to Jay-Z rap videos. It’s rather comical really. Imagine, a bunch of middle-aged and older daughters of the Betty Friedan era putting down their Margaret Meade books to cull YouTube for rap videos that feature similar gestures used by Obama. Then, get this, they write about it! Put it up for all to see.
Now, politics is not immune to the whole body language analysis. Bill O’Reilly has taken to doing a weekly segment where a body language or gesticulation expert comes in says “Oh, you can see that Obama squints and tugs at an invisible booger when he says he disagrees with the statements of Rev. Wright. This obviously is a sign of deception and the sly boog-hanging distraction is actually a call to all Satan worshippers to vote early.” This is what Bill-O has come to and apparently the Bitter Betties over at Confluence have decided to follow suit.
Yep, you’ll find such insightful musings as “oh my God, Obama scratched his face with his middle-finger, he’s giving the regular folks the bird.” In depth analysis, oh my Bitter Ones.
Look here’s the honest truth, Hillary will lose, get over it. She will not get the DNC nomination. Everyone I speak to and correspond with on this Blog is tired of the Clintons and the Bush Clan for that matter. That “everyone” of which I write about even includes REPUBLICANS on both counts. We are all tired of it. We want change, be it Barack Obama OR John McCain. I mean it and I’ll live up to it, perhaps if something happened like say a meteor came down and landed on Obama, thus making Hillary the nominee by default, I would vote for John McCain in a heartbeat! It’s that simple. And believe me, my Bitter Clintonites, I am not the only Democrat saying that or at the moment thinking it.
Please come to your senses, you honestly can’t think that Hillary Clinton would make a good president? She’s already proven with her scorched earth policy in the primary that she has no regard for her party. If a politician has no loyalty to their party (Joe Lieberman) then do you think they’d be loyal to you or your fellow Americans? What about when Hill’s President? Think about this, she gets that infamous call at 3:00am, she hears the love noises coming from the intern’s room next door and then realizes that Bill will not be able to answer the phone for her, so she answers it herself.
When answering the phone, do you want her poll numbers to be high that day? I know I do, because whatever decision that needs to be made at that point will be made based on its benefit to her and not the benefit of her countrymen AND women. Numbers low – Hillary first; Numbers high – how do I keep the numbers high?
That’s what differentiates Obama from Clinton. In fact, it’s what differentiates McCain from Clinton. I would love to see a woman president some day, but I don’t want to see THAT woman as president.


You’re right.
Scorched earth policies always spell disaster, you’d think she’d know that. I mean, the woman’s not dumb.
It is amusing to see the Clinton backers (the rabid ones at least, not all are bad) line up with the right and apparently not even realize it. She has done nothing in the past month to improve her own chances. She’s only hurting Obama’s. Shame.
Um. I simply don’t think I can’t vote for someone who is 72.
SEVENTY-TWO.
This country tells people to retire at 65. He would be working in the most important office in the land until at least 76. 76!!!
I respect that McCain was a POW. McCain is someone who pissed off Ann Coulter so much that she said that she would vote for Hillary over McCain. (She has since reatracted that.) I would love to sit down to some apple pie with him front of a roaring fire, while he slips me some Worther’s Originals out of his pocket so Ma won’t see him giving me candy.
Behold Benjamin Franklin, who in 1778 was 72:
1778 Signs French Alliance
1779-81 Appointed to negotiate peace treaty with England.
1783-84 Signed Peace Treaty; Invented bifocals
1785-86 Elected President of Pennsylvania Executive Council
1787 Signs the United States Constitution
1789 Writes anti-slavery treatise; He becomes president of the Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery
Even Benjamin Franklin, the hands-down king of working it as a old man, only became President of the Pennsyvania Executive Council and the Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery.
