Just Proclaiming Unity Does Not Make It So
Jul. 2nd, 2008 12:43 pmThis statement made me laugh out loud in agreement.
Hillary *could* just sit out the rest of the primary season and work on paying off her campaign debt. Just like Joe Biden and Chris Dodd and John Edwards, nothing more should be asked of her but her support. There is no need to drag her along on some dog and pony show where she is forced to ask her reluctant and adamant supporters to vote for Obama. Either we will or we won’t. The party is behaving like evangelists who will not stop trying to convert us in spite of years of persistence and emotional blackmail and shaming and every other trick in the book. We got the message. You can stop now. Some of us LIKE being heathens. If we’re not going to paradise with you, maybe it’s because the thought of spending an eternity with fundamentalist evangelists makes us physically ill.
