Hillary And The Last Straw
by sarabeth at 8:02 am on March 7th, 2008 in 2008 Presidential, HillaryThis lady is starting to get really annoying.
First there’s all this nonsense about insisting that the already elected Florida delegates must be seated, that she will not accept any kind of do-over:
Hillary also stated her opposition to “any do-over or any kind of a second run in Florida.”
That was from an interview with U.S News conducted on Wednesday, March 5. The same day, on CNN, she repeated her “lifetime of experience” praise of John McCain:
In a live CNN interview just now, Sen. Clinton repeated, twice, the “Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience, I have a lifetime of experience, Sen. Obama has one speech in 2002″ line. By what logic, exactly, does a member of the Democratic party include the “Sen. McCain has a lifetime of experience” part of that sentence?
And this is after being roundly criticized the first time around, when she said it on Monday in Ohio.
So she was criticized again, of course. And what does she do in response? Repeat it yet again:
“I think that since we now know Sen. McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,†the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,†she said.
Calling McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee a good friend and a “distinguished man with a great history of service to our country,†Clinton said, “Both of us will be on that stage having crossed that threshold. …â€
Maybe she knows what the hell she’s up to. But I sure don’t. And I sure as hell don’t like it.
As of now, I’m no longer supporting Hillary Clinton. Not Obama, either, for now. Just sitting on the fence. And it might remain that way. I might just stay agnostic till the end. I’ll vote for whoever the damn nominee is. But I won’t like it, either way.

I will state for the record that I won’t stand for any kind of do-over either. If I’m not mistaking, FL and MI knew that their primaries would be invalid when they held them… now they want a do-over because they broke the rules?! And I’m hearing that FL wants the DNC to pay for the do-over so the tax payers of FL don’t have to…that’s a good use of DNC funds in an election year!
Am I missing something here?

My post was probably not clear. My objection is to “insisting that the already elected Florida delegates must be seated”.
I can live with sticking to the original agreement and excluding the Fl and MI delegates. I can live with a proper do-over. But insisting that the delegates arising out of those we-all-agree-they-will-not-count primaries should be seated is something I cannot stomach.
