a question to hillary voters… why?

May 2, 2008 by p00ky.

Polls show and have shown even before the Wright debacle and Barack’s clinging religious slip in San Francisco that 30-40 percent of Hillary voters would not vote for Obama if he were the nominee.

Why?

Yeah, some Obama voters report that they will not vote for HRC under any circumstances, and i confess to understanding their position :) though i will not defend it here.  Others are welcome to do so.

Having followed the political dialogue for some time now, i simply do not get the position that the hrc supporters have arrived at.  No unseemly attacks by Obama have been uttered towards Hillary, and great restraint has been exercised in the wake of a litany of stuff coming out of the hrc campaign that would be low hanging fruit to fodder the attack cannons.  But Obama has risen above the impulse to use it against her… from the bosnia snipers to the whitehouse logs that speak of her vivid imagination in e.g. creating an image of endowing peace to ireland from a tea party.  I am a believer in tea parties, but hillary is no alice.

So, again, i ask WHY.  Given that the stance of the two candidates on the isssues is so very similar, Why do so many hrc supporters loathe Mr. Obama to the extent that they would not vote for him were he the nominee?  Implicit in the position is that they would rather see McCain president than Mr. Obama.  Why?  Why? Why? 

I would ask a hrc supporter who has come to the conclusion not to vote for Obama in the general election, but i do not know any.  Help me out here.  Please tell me WHY.  Thanks.

(oh, in the words of DharmaWoo:  Gawd i wonder if hillary gets nominated i will plant my lawn chair in your dotage.)

Known Knowns

November 9, 2006 by p00ky.

okeeee… so this blog is not above entertaining a classic or two… this one in honor of the retirement of Donald Rumsfeld.  KnownKnowns (audio)

KNOWN KNOWNS


The message is:
That there are known knowns;
there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns -
that is to say there are things that we now know we don’t know.
But there are also unknown unknowns -
there are things we do not know we don’t know,
and each year we discover a few more
of those unknown unknowns.

just a quicky in response to recent outings of republican-affiliated “gay” men that are gaining considerable popularity in the blog0sphere, to give a *nod* to the practice, to which, were it not for the blatant hypocrisy and damage done to the “community” by the closeted queers, i would not nod, nor even wink.  Check out http://www.blogactive.com/ and lemme know your thoughts.  ga_output_imagejsessionida9d5a9a1be3aea72957f143e027e0354.jpg

Gay Marriage: The Arguments and the Motives

A personal essay in hypertext by Scott Bidstrup

“We cannot accept the view that Amendment 2’s prohibition on specific legal protections does no more than deprive homosexuals of special rights. To the contrary, the amendment imposes a special disability on those persons alone. Homosexuals are forbidden the safeguards that others enjoy or may seek without constraint”
