PANTSUITS!

BUllSHit

Firstly, I was for a John Edwards / Obama ticket. I thought that Barack could use eight years in the White House as a springboard to his own Presidency, but I chose him over Hillary because Hillary is a pandering fool.

How many times do we have to listen to her accent change depending on the ethnicity or the income of her audience?

Now she is claiming to be favored by dumb white guys? She should be ashamed to call herself a Democrat. I know that I am ashamed of her. If she can't be nice while she tries to raise money to pay back her loans, then get the hell out!

Seriously folks, I am perfectly willing to vote for a woman... all that I ask is that she dress like a CEO instead of a Country Club Hausfrau! Red, Yellow, Pink, bright shades of Green and Blue? I expect to see her holding a covered dish at the podium for christsakes! The only reason she is not the presumptive nominee is the pantsuits... That and the fact that she is the only lightning rod capable of mobilizing demoralized DittoHeads to get out the vote in November.
