Note to Hillary

Three months ago, you agreed with everyone else that Michigan and Florida delegates shouldn't be seated because they broke party rules. Of course, back then, you were the nominee-apparent. Now that you're struggling for every delegate, you've flip-flopped and want every one of them seated. This does not speak well to your character.

Further, rewarding renegade state organizations for breaking rules doesn't speak well to your management philosophy. The comparisons to rigged elections in Zimbabwe and stolen elections in Florida were over the top. Don't get me started on the whole Obama/RFK comparison. Explain to me again how this move qualifies you for being president...?

I still like you, Hillary, but decisions like this continue to erode my support.

Politicians are politicians. The same everywhere: corrupt.

I lost my supp0ort for her a long time ago and it's not just what she's done w/ this flip flopping of the delegate thing, but in general and I've spoken my views on it and I think if I repeated myself, it'd sound like a broken record so I won't. :-}

Something NPR said about a couple of weeks ago that at one point in the primary race, she stumbled greatly a time or two and had been slipping ever since but Obama learned from his early gaffs and has come out very strong in the latter half of the primary race to over shadow her.

I suppose reading the rules put forth by the Democratic National Party would have been too obvious of a thing to do. She didn't bother brushing up and Barack did.

Most everything that I liked about the Clintons in the last term has eroded. Gimme some new blood, please.

SO, does this mean you won't vote for her?

Or just that you won't contribute to her campaign?
:-)

I can't vote since I'm not a US citizen.

Since I'm not a citizen, I also feel it would be inappropriate for me to attempt to sway a US election by donating, campaigning or organizing. I keep thinking how off-putting it would be to learn of Americans attempting to manipulate a Canadian election.

...then we just won't tell you.
