A Letter from Sukie

Dear Hillary,

It is mathematically impossible for you to win the nomination. Do what's right for us--the Democratic Party--and learn a new trick. It's called humility. Step back. All you're doing is hurting the party--your negative attacks and negative campaigning are only giving John McCain fuel for his fire in November. The very fact that you are willing to do this proves that you are more concerned with yourself than with the party, than with getting a Democrat in office in November. And you're rubbing off on your supporters! Exit polls show that large numbers of your supporters won't vote at all or will vote for John McCain in November if Obama becomes the nominee. I'm not sure what that makes them--selfish on your behalf?? But it doesn't make them good Democrats. (I, for one, would have voted for you if you'd won the nomination--because I'm a Democrat, and that's what a good Democrat would do) Let me borrow your own words: are you ready for a third term of George W. via John McCain?? I know I'm not, so please, please, please stop. Just stop. Let's unify this party sooner rather than later.

Sincerely,

Sukie

PS: A gas tax holiday? Really? Come the **BLEEP** on! Are you a Republican? Because you're acting like one--treating all these middle class, working class, blue collar Americans like they're too damn stupid to figure out that you're offering a ridiculously short-term (hopefully election-winning) solution (saving us about $30 over the course of one summer) for a problem that will just reappear, rearing an even uglier head (the price of a barrel of oil is expected to go up to $200 after summer--think $8/gallon gas) when your little "holiday" is over. Is it really worth the votes you're picking up from conservatives--you know, throwing the rest of us under the bus when you so adamantly claim to be looking out for our best interests??
