15. Notice to BS

Fri Feb 1, 2013, 03:54 PM

Feb 2013

I will not be threatened, coerced nor bullied into supporting Hillary Clinton. I didn't vote for her the first time around and will only vote for her if she runs against someone less competent. This is not because she is a woman (I'm a woman) or too old (I'm climbing that hill). It's because I haven't looked into the crystal ball to see if she'll be the most attractive candidate or if she'll even BE a candidate. Before you get all anti-misogynistic on me, I'm using the word 'attractive' in the overall sense, not physical.

During the '08 primaries, I was attacked for supporting some unknown black guy 'just because he's black' (I'm white...couldn't figure that one out). I was called a traitor to my gender for not supporting Clinton. The slap goes both ways, my friend.

See you in '16. That's like...3+ years from now. Lots to do in the meantime, y'know?
