Why This PUMA No Longer Supports Hillary Clinton

My primary reason for not supporting Hillary Clinton right now is two-fold.  One, she’s not running for anything at the moment, and, two, she’s stumping for Barack Obama.

I decided very early on in the primary season that I did not like Barack Obama, at all, and have always felt that he would make a lousy president.  I agreed when Joe Biden said so, and, unlike FootMouth Joe, I have seen no reason to change my mind.  In fact, as the election process plays itself out, my resolve not to vote for Obama, under any imaginable, or unimaginable, circumstances, grows ever stronger.

My initial reaction to the Oily One was, “eh.”  The only thing he inspired in me, once he appeared on my radar, was mild curiosity, at best.  If that.  I’ve never heard him say anything that gave me confidence, let alone hope, and his canned, generic, ghost-written speeches, read from a TelePrompTer, nose-in-air, drone on interminably, and have grown from the mild annoyance associated with sharing living space with a housefly, to the full-out rage and frustration of living with that same pest for over a year.

Lacking any accomplishment of note, surrogates tout his “policies,” yet his inability to articulate them in off-the-cuff situations only serves to highlight his inadequacy.  Incessant media drumbeats attesting to his wonderfulness, coupled with nonstop ads intruding every avenue of modern day entertainment and intellectual pursuit, ratchet up the annoyance factor to intolerable levels.  Especially since they’re all lies.

Hey, HuffPo, Who’re You Callin’ Conservative?

As evidence of the “it must fit the narrative” media mindset, I offer up my own experience.  On Sunday, upon hearing of Colin Powell’s “officializing” his “help a brother out, hook a brother up,” Obama endorsement, I immediately posted my opinion on my blog.  Imagine my surprise when I noticed a dramatic traffic uptick on my small little site, linking here from Huffington Post.  Peeking into the situation, since I’m reluctant to expose myself too fully to the rancor against all those not pledging allegiance to He Who Must Not Be Examined, I found that my site was included as an illustration of conservative racism in a post by Sam Stein.

There were, down the conservative line, other voices who gave credence to the race-over-politics theory. A prominent Republican attorney in Maine, Dan Billings, accused Powell of racism, stating: “If Obama was a white man, Powell would not have made the endorsement.”

I’m the “other voices.”  Obviously, Mr. Stein didn’t bother to read my post, had he, he might have noticed the PUMA/Just Say No Deal tags I use to label each one.  Heaven forbid he read my “About” page which features a short paragraph identifying me as a black woman so fed up with the faux nominating process employed by the Democratic party to coronate their “selectee,” that I now have no affiliation to any political party.  As far as being a “George Will/Rush Limbaugh” conservative is concerned, had HuffPo not included me in their post, I probably would not have known what either man thought.  The only thing I can see that we have in common is…well…we all walk on two legs, and at least two of us still have hair on our heads.  This sort of “racism to prove racism” narrative of the Obama campaign and their mainstream media/blogger boyz enablers is one of the main reasons I could never vote for him.  Having experienced it for over a year, as a Hillary Clinton supporter, not only can I attest to the ugliness, I lament the coming to fruition of the fears I’ve had since first becoming aware of the Obama practice of pouring gasoline on smoldering racial fires and encouraging his pre-pubescent-minded bullies of the blogosphere to climb on chairs and point gleeful fingers at the flames.

Which brings me to Hillary Clinton.  That she stumps for Obama distresses me, though she obviously has her own reasons for doing so.  Given what she experienced at the hands of the Obama thugs, what those reasons might be, boggles the mind.  Since I haven’t seen or heard about the whereabouts of Chelsea lately, I’m of the mind that David Axelrod has her locked away in a secure location, only to be released once her parents have done his bidding to his satisfaction.  Whatever, that’s Hillary’s business, not mine.

So, since Hillary Clinton is not running for anything, and she, for her own reasons, sees the benefit of supporting Barack Obama, a man I will never vote for, I cannot support her.  At this time.  If she were to run for national office again, I’d probably be the first one aboard the bandwagon.

That “Party Unity My Ass” thing still works for me just fine, though.
