Can I kick it? No, you can't.

Say It

Hillary Clinton gives her speech tonight to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Apparently, a number of people who voted for her in the primaries are so angry that Barack Obama stole the nomination from her by getting more votes, that they have vowed to vote for John McCain in November.

If Hillary does not persuade these people to vote for Obama, she will all but have committed treason. If Obama loses this election because so-called Clinton Democrats can't vote for the black guy who agrees with them on nearly everything, instead of the old white guy who doesn't agree with them on anything, then she should quit the Democratic party, and henceforth be considered as poisonous where progressive politics are concerned. Joe Lieberman with a vagina.

The Clintons and their flying monkey advisers completely laid out the road map for McCain's people to try and tear down Obama. She and McCain have so much experience, and how dare Barack Obama jump to the head of the line when it's her turn to be president?

Hillary tonight, and Bill tomorrow. Both of them owe Barack Obama enormous apologies for running such a negative campaign, and also owe him the best damned speeches of their political careers. Anything even remotely half-assed or disingenuous will be remembered for what it is: An attempt to help McCain defeat Obama so that Hillary can run for the presidency in 2012.

The American people don't owe either of you a damned thing. You work for us. You aren't royalty, and any shine you had from before has long since faded. Get your man elected, and stop making the country a worse place for the rest of us just to get through your megalomaniacal to-do list.

This is bigger than you. It's bigger than all of us. Quit being Clintons, and try being Americans.
