I am an Independent who just like those coveted super delegates is holding out to see...........well I didn't think I would see what I did see!!!
I have long admired Hillary Rodham Clinton.  I knew she was a forceful dynamic woman the kind that would be good in politics. Educated, politically  well seasoned (Just a little too much pepper).  I went into the beginning of the Primary with a fair watchful eye.  I wanted to hold off before committing.
It wasn't until she arrived at Pennsylvania that I got to see a more uglier side to this show.  Why would anyone who had a state sewn up like Pennsylvania want to spread rumors about Barack Obama and completely ignore John McCain?. Someone we should be looking at very carefully!!   I am.
 I went to a few political functions etc.  and there as an educated person I began to hear some awful things.....really bad things that no one should be spreading. I knew some of this smelled, what shocked me is the people who bought it.  
The press has been using the term uneducated blue collar workers, which is very tactful. Does that mean if you vote for Hillary you are stupid???  If your vote for Barack your smart? I did not like this at all.
Someone told us that Barack Obama would put all of us white people back into slavery and he would use the National Guard to do it.  What???  I heard it at two different polling places in two different counties.  I think we better look at the Constitution again folks?  I don't think anyone can do that anymore!!!!!!!!
Mr. Obama is a Muslim not a Christian and he will support terrorists. He just goes to a Christian church for a smoke screen.   What?  23 years is a long time to be faking it.
I then tuned into Mr. Obama's speech here in Philadelphia.  He was marvelous.  I liked him despite what I had been hearing.
I then began to notice the shrill, nasty insinuations directed at this man and have my doubts where they had been directed from.  No,, it couldn't be the Hillary camp?  No one would cut a fellow party member down like that!!!!!!
There is more, but........I think I have said enough.  It is not fair we were exposed to these lies.
Yesterday, when the vote decided Michigan and Florida would be participating in the Delegate Convention, I was glad, although those states had their hands slapped for a reason.  
Now, I have to hear  Hillary Democrats completely try to by-pass a process which could not have been easy for those committee members to decide and like spoiled children who did not get their way, throw a temper tantrum.I was completely ashamed of the way the Hillary supporters were rude and disrespectful to people who had the floor.  Speaking of rules, there is a process set up for these meetings and when the chair has to use the gavel, that is bad!!!
I have to listen to CNN and the press talk and pick and tear apart what was said until I want to upchuck.  I am a caring American citizen, but....this goes beyond what we need.......Enough Mr. Ickes  STOP......you and who you represent are way out of line.
We need a good, honest decent Man/woman to be our leader. One who does not spread lies, make deals, sell out and generally start wars that are not in our best interest.  This is not a high school locker room!! This is the future of our country and you are destroying the honesty of the process.  You cannot stack the votes....you cannot lie to people and spread rumors without someone noticing....and shame on you for hunting down the poor, disadvantaged uneducated to suit your purpose.  SHAME ON YOU!!!
The Republicans are jumping for joy Democrats!!!!  Breaking out the wine and cheese at the Country Club as we scratch our befuddled heads.   
We do not need someone who would go at great length to destroy a I USE THE TERM PARTY NOT PERSON that by all rights should WIN in the election.  What selfish.............self serving people you are!!!!
You ruined the election all for a win at all cost..........stupid, stupid!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you ever stop to think that it might be better to work together Democrats?  Duh?  Huh????.
