Well, if there ever was a sour end to a nice evening it had to be Brazile. I really don’t even know who she is, or why she works for the Democratic Party. Her comments on the video sickened many across the web. She’s not in touch with her own generation it seems.
Obama’s messages, propaganda, posters, logos and generalized love fest went out the window for many Democrats once they began to see behind the scenes at how toxic he really is for our nation as a whole. Ever question why some black people aren’t for him? Do they know truths? I think so.
As long as I have been a Democrat I cared about Civil Rights, for everyone. The poor especially, and especially those of color, who need the most. Brazile showed me with her statements last night that she is in some opposite camp than mine. Two groups she discounted were the working class and Latinos. Well, it is precisely those two groups that are suffering the most in this country right now.
To tell you the truth, I’ve quit caring, because I’m leaving the Democratic Party if the Clintons can’t go back to the White House. I don’t see a lot of hope for this country, and I see no hope for the working class at all after I read what Obama voted on and who backs him. One thing I know about history? It repeats itself in bloody revolutions when people are too poor and starving in the streets. Like the French Revolution. My choice of Hillary for President is because I know she can stave that off. All her life she helped work for the poor. Not just poor Black people or poor Mexican people or poor White people, but everyone. Her whole concept was about it “taking a village.”
So, I’m a Democrat in exile. If I can’t have Hillary, I’ll go McCain. Simple. I’m quite sure a lot of other Democrats feel this way, after the shock of the barbaric way this whole election has been run. I never knew that the American Presidency could be bought. But it can can’t it? Just hire someone like David Axelrod and mastermind it. Or cheat right? You’ll want to see the poster over at this place, attached to this article. I wonder how Obama could stoop so low as to have something like this done in his name? A poster telling people to register as a Democrat for a day…take a look:

Obama campaign strategist (and Adolf Hitler lookalike) David Axelrod stated last night that Hillary won Indiana because Rush Limbaugh mobilized Republicans to cross over and vote for her. He claims that 10% of the Indiana electorate were Republican crossovers and Hillary did very well among them.
Obama Campaign Points Finger at Rush
“There were elements of the Republican Party, including Rush Limbaugh, Sen. Clinton’s new ally, who were urging people to cross over and vote for her,” said Axelrod, referring to the Limbaugh-led “Operation Chaos,” a bid to disrupt Obama’s path to the nomination and prolong a divisive primary battle. “She obviously was somewhat a beneficiary of that.”
Let’s have a reality check here folks. It seems Mr. Axelrod is suffering from Cult-Aide syndrome. You know, that mysterious disease of sudden memory loss that affects Obama supporters. Because what Adolf, I mean David, Axelrod neglects to mention is that it was his savior, I mean client, Barack Obama who began this mischievousness of courting Republicans to cross over and be Democrats for a Day over a year ago.

The best article in the web right now on Obama and Labor in general is over at Black Agenda Report. It would be wise for workers to know what he signed into law. Because it will affect anyone who works for a living. That’s over here:
I had read some of these things before in an article at Savage Politics.com, but this author Pam Martens really explains in clear ways what the affect of all of this is going to mean for Black people. A lot of people are being thrown into poverty right now. All over the country. Even something as simple a little cut in the gas price is going to help the working classes. I know that the writers over at Black Agenda Report remember better times in this country. We all do. They are honest voices, telling the truth. All the writers I read do, in their blogs. You’ll be shocked by the things you’ll learn from the read above.
One of the reasons I wanted Hillary to win is because she is a champion of Women’s Rights. Those are eroding in this country. I feel sorry for girls and women in America. I feel sorry for those facing unplanned pregnancy. Those that will have to search out the back alley for an abortion. Those who will bring children into a world where the future looks so bleak. The gains made by the Feminist Movement may fall by the wayside too, just like the jobs, or the hope, or the American dream as it has for so many.
All the talk and the spin by male politicians have little to do with the little things of life that people face.
Riverdaughter and I are contemporaries. This is something she wrote today, that gave me a laugh after last night and Brazile. Here she is! And I hope it will make you laugh, in the middle of all the truth, and the cheating, and the hopelessness of the grimmest election I’ve ever witnessed in my life so far. Barack Obama is not someone I can ever vote for. His principles and values are not mine. I feel sorry for him actually. Like many in my generation our hearts started out in the same places. Too bad he let so much corruption surround him. There will be more I’m sure, in the grand glittering halls.
Here is RD…my virtual pal, and Hillary Clinton supporter, with that funny piece she wrote:

Welcome all you newly “unaffiliated” voters! If you’re like me, you realized sometime in the last couple of months that you are part of the “old coalition” of the Democratic party. But you’re not cool enough to be courted by the “new coalition” because you’re working class, gay, hispanic, asian, a woman, old or a brilliant combination of an *uneducated* working class, sino-peruvian lesbian. And you said, “Um, that’s not really who I am” Actually, that’s NOT who I am, except for the woman part. (Lemme check *peeking down shirt* Yep, I’m a woman)
I’m getting kind of tired of being written off by my party except for the whole, “We need your vote” thing. I want my nominee to pander to me. I want him to make me promises he does not intend to keep. I want to sit at the cool lunchtable. So, today, I am registering as an “unaffiliated” voter. I mean, I’m a well-paid, suburbanite, college educated, working in a very creative field and I can shoot latte like the best of them. Plus, my boobs don’t sag so I will fit right in with all of the other Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models with PhDs in Architecture that Obama has in his plus column.
Now that I am “unaffiliated”, I’m like one of those really attractive singles on hot dating sites. Obama is going to want my vote big time. When I was just a Democrat, I was completely unsexy. But I have shed that old skin, sort of like dermal abrasion, and I’m brand sparkling new and beautiful and so much smarter than I was just a few minutes ago. And my mind is suddenly unburdened. Yeah! I’m no longer worried about Social Security because that was the *old coalition’s” problem. Or universal healthcare because shared responsibility means that I might actually have to acknowledge the working class. Or high gas prices, because if people are spending too much on gas to drive to work, they should just buy a house closer to each of their jobs. Duh!
Any day now, Obama supporters will be knocking at my door and ask me to get a membership in their exclusive club. I will be treated like a queen once they scan the voter’s rolls in NJ and see my name. It will be like, “Oooo, Riverdaughter is a “creative class” unaffiliated. Well, we must really ask her to do a round of golf with us or share a latte.” I will be pampered and courted and made to feel better than all of you losers who comment on this blog.
Soon, I will not be able to associate with you or will only be able to sneer disdainfully at you in passing. Who needs real Democrats when you can win without them?

I left, yesterday. I posted my letter on my site. I sent in my new unaffiliated registration, the electoral college map projections, and my letter explaining why I am leaving the party of which I have been a member since 1977. So much for Obama the uniter. Frankly, it is not African American supporters of Obama who have alienated me. They have had to vote for white candidates for years, and while color shouldn’t make a difference, it is easier for white people to feel that way than black people, like it is easier for men to say sex doesn’t matter than it is for women. Brazile’s attitude is another matter. But it’s my own so-called “creative class,” the college profs who sneer at working people for wanting a gas tax holiday or who pretend they are feminists but then call Hillary vile names. They are hypocrites. I work with them and I see how they treat women, from the secretaries to their female colleagues. Obama is no feminist and neither are his supporters. Without feminism, we can achieve no human rights.

Valentine– I wish you had a contact button
Anyway– I have an new video– It would be great again if you could help me spread it:
NEW VIDEO: “We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!”

It’s about Obama’s silence on sexism against Hillary Clinton and his own sexist remarks.
I’d appreciate your support.
