Why I Won't Just Get Over It

It has been a week since I've posted anything. I needed the time to wind down a little bit and think about what has happened during the primary season.

I continuosly hear from many sources that the Obama campaign and the powers that be in the DNC feel that Hillary's supporters need to just get over it. WE are angry because she lost. We are a bunch of angry, bitter women.

Well I want to tell the world that I will not get over it. We are not just a bunch of angry, bitter women. (Many of us are.) We are also many men who are angry and bitter too. I just so happen to be one of those men.

Yes I am angry and bitter, but not because of Senator Clinton's loss.

I am angry that the DNC stole delegates from her that she rightfully owned and awarded uncommitted delegates to Senator Obama, when he freely chose to remove his name from the ballot in Michigan.

I am angry that Senator Clinton was portrayed as a racist when that is so far from the truth and the DNC did not come to her defense.

I am angry that the DNC and their talking heads wanted Senator Clinton to quit and concede right from the very beginning, when history shows us that this was not asked of any other candidate until the convention.

I am angry with the DNC for not properly vetting Senator Obama.

I am angry with the majority of the mainstream media for their sexist and childish behavior in their portrayal of Senator Clinton and no one came to her defense with the exception of a few bold conservative radio programs and television programs.

I am angry with those that say President Clinton was only defending Senator Clinton because she is his wife. If he were campaigning for anyone else he would have defended him or her also.

I am angry with the behavior of many of Senator Obama's supporters, yet he has not once called for an end to it.

I am angry that Senator Obama did not get to where he is fairly. If that were the case, then I would just be deeply disappointed and then I could support our party's nominee.

Well I am not deeply dissapointed, I am angry and I WILL NOT GET OVER IT.
