Daily List of Hatreds

Politics
Today, I’m hating on politics. Huge.
First, allow me to bag on Ron Paul supporters. It’s bad enough that your candidate, while full of good intentions, is a racist nutjob. But do you guys really have to be such arrogant, snotty little shits? Seriously. Their holier-than-thou crap is almost as off-putting as his isolationist stupidity.
And in the fairness of balance, I’m going to bag on Hillary Clinton for being stupid enough to run in the first place. It’s not that she beat Obama for California last night — I respect the fairness of the process — it’s that she doesn’t seem to realize the depth of hatred that people have for her and how that’s going to be a polarizing factor for the right and is going to unite them in an effort to ensure she’s not elected. I also hate the fake tears, and the smug sense of entitlement that she radiates. (I’ll vote for her if she gets the nomination, though, because I’ll be damned if I’m voting for McCain.)
Part of me wants to bag on McCain and his Vietnam-era mindset of “any negotiation, any withdrawal of troops amounts to surrender.” That’s a rant for another time.

I agree with you on Ron Paul. He’s a delusional nut job with absolutely no chance of being elected. I do, however, disagree on your assessment of Hillary. Yes, she is hated by the right, and yes, she is a very polarizing figure, but I strongly believe that the right’s hatred of her is nothing in comparison to the rest of the country’s hatred of Bush. If the economy continues to tank and the war continues as it has been, no Republican has a chance of being elected in November, and certainly not one that supports Bush and the policies of the current Administration. If McCain is going to have any shot at being elected, he will need to distance himself from the Administration and take a realistic look at the situation in Iraq. Even the die-hard Republicans I know can admit it’s a cluster fuck.
