Some of the most rabid of Hillary Clinton's supporters are disregarding Hillary's plea that they now support Barack Obama. They are threatening to vote for John McCain on the grounds that Obama disrespected and disregarded Hillary.
Hello? Anybody in there?
If these women think Obama disrespected Hillary, what the heck do they think McCain will do in regards to ALL women? After all, McCain is the one who offered up his wife as a "Miss Buffalo Chip" contestant at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally earlier this summer. Miss Buffalo Chip contestants are encouraged, if not required, to remove most or all of their clothing and perform simulated sex acts with bananas in front of the (male) biker "judges."
Now I'm sure that if McCain is confronted about this, he'll plead ignorance. I don't buy it. Watch the clips of his little performance at Sturgis. There's his wife Cindy, standing dutifully by his side, her face a riot of suppressed rage and humiliation. She knew. And if she knew, he knew. For the life of me, I don't know why she didn't sock him in the jaw and walk off the stage. I guess you can take the good little hausfrau out of the house, but you can't take the GOP toady out of her. No matter how much money she has.
Hillary supporters, wake up! McCain's willingness to humiliate his wife for the sake of a few votes is vastly more disrespectful of all women than was anything Obama did to Hillary. Where do you think that will leave all women if McCain wins the presidency?
If your real objection is in fact the matter of respect for women, you must vote for Obama. Or are you using the respect issue as a smokescreen for your own racism? You'd rather vote for a white man who treats his wife like dirt than for any black man, especially one who demonstrably treats the women in his family very, very well? What are you? Nuts?
Or is it that you have no self-respect? If you vote for McCain, don't expect me--or anyone with half a brain--to respect you, either. Your actions will prove you don't deserve it.
