The Conundrum of Anonymous
"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good," Anonymous is a Woman, a Virginia blogger counsels the howler in a well thought out comment to an earlier post.
Yes, although Hillary would've been the perfect candidate for gazillion reasons, she warns to not allow the ideal destroy the "just good enough" in relationship to the alternative, McSame, which makes sense except for one tiny little problem.
Should there not be some kind of natural consequence for all the shenanigans that went on during the primary to prevent something like it from ever happening again?? You know, such as the browbeating by Obama supporters during Iowa, Nevada, Texas, and state caucuses; the shameful race baiting in South Carolina; the undemocratic formula that gave way too much clout to small red states when measured against populous swing states and blue ones; the disenfranchisement of Michigan and Florida until after the fact that eerily reminded the howler of Florida, 2000; the unfair portrayal by Obamazoids of Hillary as some sort of she-devil who would whore her first and only born child in order to win the highest office; the fawning media coverage that magnified any Hillary gaffe but snoozed through every Obama blunder; the social inequity of caucuses for folks who have to make a living and can't afford to take a whole evening to vote; and the list goes on and on.
Obama's answer to all that went wrong in '08 is to take away the power of superdelegates as if that had anything to do with the heart of the problem, which absolutely proves the Democratic presidential candidate just doesn't "get it," to quote his own words back.
One way to make sure everyone gets it is for Hillary supporters to make Obama pay for his folly. To make the Democratic party pay. To make the blogger boyz pay. To make every superdelegate who publicly declared for Obama pay.
Yes, it may be too steep a price to pay for justice, anonymous; and that's what each Hillary supporter must carefully weigh when going to the polls. It's not an easy choice, the howler can attest, for sure, but overzealous Obamazoids haranguing her into submission is not the way to get the howler's love. By thy deeds you shall be known, folks.
