Look at response #5 to your post - I recently said something which wasn't 100% sucking Obama's ass and my "fellow Obama supporters" immediately started jumping down my throat, accusing me of being a closet Hillary supporter and other such nonsense...once I made my feelings clear on the issue the mods went through and deleted all the idiot posts accusing me of such because one look at my post history makes it crystal clear that I'm in Obama's corner.
But considering that so many people on DU have been chanting about "Hillbots" for so long, which is a criticism of someone for robotically supporting their candidate, it's ironic that we also DO have "Obamabots" who do precisely the same thing, but in a different mode - robotically attacking anyone who doesn't appear to be supporting and defending Obama to the point where they would gladly take a bullet for him.
It scares me, to be honest. Blind support of political parties and politicians is what got America into the mess it's in, politically-speaking. Obama and ANY politician should ALWAYS have to EARN their supporters through faithful service and following through with promises.
If those were the criteria by which we judged all our elected officials, we'd keep voting people out so consistently that our elected officials would have no choice but to actually DO THEIR JOBS if they wanted to retain their offices, and the sort of rampant incumbencies that paralyze our government would cease to exist.
It's one thing to support Obama, but it's another thing to become an android.
In short, I agree. I don't think there's anything to be scared of from Hillary anymore. It's over. We've won.
Time to start concentrating on taking down McCain. Yes, this primary season has been frustrating as hell, but if you have faith, like I do, that Obama can win the GE in a landslide even with less prep time than would normally be accorded him without such a circus of a primary season, then we don't need to worry about Hillary anymore.
I mean, come on, look at her press coverage. She's become a joke. Pelosi and Reid are already laying the PR groundwork to step in and end this. It's done. We've won.
Thank God...although I have to wait until it's officially official before I can sing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" and laugh here at the office...but I can wait a little longer. Delayed gratification just makes it sweeter.
