Thanks, Dennis Kucinich, for NOTHING.

Sapph’s message to the Kucinich campaign tonight:

I sent this message when unsubscribing to the Kucinich campaign mailing list — and now I’m sending it to you (whoever fields these messages) in the faint hope that an actual human being might read it:

“HOW COULD YOU endorse Mister ‘Throw the Gays Under the Bus for the Southern Homophobes Vote’ Obama? Dennis, I have supported you unconditionally, and you were getting my primary vote in California. Now, tonight, after the Iowa caucuses, I may not vote at all — in the primary, or in the general election. What’s the point? I haven’t been so disappointed in a candidate (YOU) since Kerry so willingly conceded to Bush in 2004. I have NOTHING to look forward to now… except 1) a gay-hating Republican theocrat, or 2) a gay-hating Democratic neophyte. Thanks a lot, Dennis. Thanks a whole hell of a lot for throwing Iowa Obama’s way. Thanks for NOTHING.”

Addendum: I have been a yellow-dog Democrat since I could first vote, in the late 1970s. After this horrible fiasco in Iowa — for which I lay much of the blame directly at Dennis’s feet — I am finding it extremely difficult to come up with a good reason to ever vote again. The corporate suits are going to do what they want, the American people are going to continue to be blinded by the hype — and the one candidate I truly believed in appears to have succumbed to that same, starstruck blindness.

What’s the use in trying anymore? (Rhetorical question — there is none.)
