Saw this on Hillary's Official Website blog... and I thought it was just perfect. Made me feel much better about the whole idea of a united party... here it is:
http://blog.hillaryclinton.com/blog/main/2008/06/08/013052#view_commentsFinally had a moment to breathe and think...
This is my first post... I tend to be a quiet observer but not now when so much is at stake. So I know this seems to be a 'wall of text' (lol). I have so much to say now that I have decided to "open my mouth" hopefully I don't end up with my foot in it... ;) Ok... here goes...
I cried all day Saturday. The one person I thought that could break down the "corporate machine", the "Money Machine", the "Republican Agenda" was Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton. I will tell you this... She is an Iconic American that deserves EVERYONES respect. She is one of my heroes. Even my republican friends were like... "Dang, shes scrappy - I'll consider voting for her". I have and will always stick by her. Since Tuesday I have been "stewing" in my own juices wondering where we went wrong, how did we lose, how on earth could Barack win... Its not that they were "better" by any means. So what happened? I still cannot answer that question. But I know the bitterness and resentment set in. I became EXTREMELY angry at the Barack Obama Camp. I thought... well... they beat us... but "they ain't getting my vote". I thought "Heck, I'll just write Hillary into the ballot" that will teach them a lesson. I will protest this election.
Then... the emotions lessened.... the anger lessened...
And I realized that if I didn't transition to the Obama Camp I would lose SO much more than just Hillary. I would lose more things under another republican regime. Under Bush we have lost our children, our respect in the world, our identity... our pride. :(
So... I went to the Barack Obama website. The things they said about Hillary were so hurtful and I was infuriated and started blogging my heart out. How could they say those things about 'MY' candidate? How dare they. Then I came back here and realized we did the same thing.
We all were so wrapped up in the moment it was outright war. Obama vs Hills and it got ugly. They have said some nasty things, even Obama has said nasty things... I/We have also and Hillary has gotten her digs into too.
So now that we have had this "family feud" how do we heal?
I have been over there trying to stop the Anti-Hillary and Anti-Hillary Supporter Sentiment and FOR THE MOST PART it has been met with agreement, open arms and a sense of family.
I will NOT cast this site away. I have read so many profiles, blogs, thoughts, rants, raves, laughs, upsets that you all are my family. Again... I should have been more vocal... and I apologize for that. You can beat me later. LOL
McCain has already started swooning the HRC camp votes... It is amazing how they have broken this down into statistics and "the quickest road to the White House" they don't care about OUR agenda... they only care about winning. See this...

I was appalled... I hope you are too. They are pitting us against one another and from what they said the DNC and HRC Camps are ripe for the picking... Please hear my outrage and fight against this....
I am pleading with ALL HRC Supporters. I hurt too but we need to come together... not Only for Hillary, not only for the Democratic Party, Not only for HRC Independants... but together for Hillary. We are more powerful as one and by joining the Obama Camp our voices will shatter ALL of the ceilings, shatter all of the walls and shatter the status quo that has been built against us these past 8 years. I miss Bill as my president. I think Hillary would have whipped his butt and showed him out to lead effectively. She is no longer in teh race and we need to choose the best canditate that represents Hillary's Agenda and that is Barack Obama. Please some with me over there.
My handle is "Hillary Transitioner" yeah they got a kick out of that one over there.. LOL I am from Tampa, FL and my real name is Scott.
I share this with you because I know we can do this together. We pushed Hillary Up and now we can join forces to ensure her agenda is represented. I need you there by my side beside all in the Obama Camp. I know we can do this.
Yes we will!!!
Thanks for hearing me out.
