Why I will not vote for Obama even if he’s the nominee — and why you shouldn’t either

May 15, 2008 · No Comments

A call to arms from Violet Socks. It’s incredible. Apostate agrees though she can’t vote: Fuck Unity. Here are a few comments at Tom Watson’s. Hundreds more here.

Oh please, Clinton on top or nothing. She is older and more experience. Why should she have to wait until she is an old woman when she has the most experience of the two now. I will not get behind Obama, ever! Just another man with less experience getting paid more than a woman. No, not now, not ever.

From the beginning, this was one of the most sexist things about the Obama campaign. Think of it as a competition for CEO. A younger, less experienced, but charismatic man gets the job over an experienced “woman of substance” with 14 years of seniority. It doesn’t get more sexist than this. Or Chris Klein and Tracy Flick, if you will.

I thought I could vote for Obama in the GE. Now I know that I can’t. I won’t vote for McCain. But I will sit out the Pres. race (or write in Hillary’s name). And there is no way that Obama can win the GE. Indeed, I suspect he will lose by historic proportions.

The Obama campaign machine has behaved appalingly and has gone against all Democratic principles I believed in. I could only support him if I am bereft of any principles or values. Thankfully I have still retained my values though us Clinton supporters have been subjected to horrendeous behaviour. Obama campaign have behaved like republicans using republican talking points to denigrate Hillary and Bill Clinton. And if Obama wins the nomination it would be another theft (not counting FL & MI is Stealing however DB may put it) like Bush’s in 2000.

I saw this on the LA Times blog:

I will not be voting in the general, if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination. The contest has been too ugly in terms of sexism. I suspect the horse accident was rigged by the Dems’ good ol’ boys.
