Here's what really gets me, beyond the stupidity of misdirecting anger that should go to Chris Matthews. Suppose for a moment that I am planning on voting for Obama (actually, that is true). Now suppose that it's true - the DNC releases an official "low-hanging fruit" statement. Should I be angry? Yes.
Should I vote for the candidate who disagrees with all my views, intentionally trying to give power to people who I believe will trample my rights and reduce my quality of life? Or refuse to vote and help him to power?
"Yeah, I'll show you by making sure that I don't have any input!!!"
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is what killed me about all the assuming that women would vote McCain if Clinton didn't get the nomination. WHY would you vote for a republican over Obama, whose positions are nearly identical to your candidate? WHY?!? It doesn't make any sense at all!
Yeah, well, when Roe v. Wade is overturned, I will have made my point in showing Chris Matthews that no, even though I am pro-choice, I am not "easy pickings." Ha ha, I will destroy my right to choose to show him!
