Little did I know, when I successfully pulled the “Rick Roll” on my friend Ben, that there really was rumors about this tape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtdc-cHFnf0
Truth of the matter is, if there really is a tape like this? Well, I’m sure that somewhere around McCain dropped a racial term or two in his past. There’s an interesting truth to the fact that just because there’s a tape out there that supposedly its real.
But what I think I find even more interesting is the more and more I hear about these Clinton supporters flocking away from Hillary to McCain? I wonder how many of them are paid bloggers for McCain. I know that there were 18 million voters and probably hundreds of thousands of more supporters, but I really wonder how many of them really were supporters or were just paid to give that illusion. The internet’s “mask of identity” sort of allows people to do that. And when you see sites like WriteHillaryIn.com or Hillaryis44.org, it really makes me think. I see the comments everywhere and because anyone could be anyone else, well, there’s no telling. And before anyone suggests, I already checked the domain registrations and they’re private by proxy, so there’s no way of really knowing (unless someone would like to delve into it further)…
The fact of the matter is this, and I said it before and I’ll use my analogy again:
This isn’t a game or a set of playoff brackets where you root for Team M because Team O beat your team, Team C.
The differences between Hillary and McCain are so vast and deep and for folks to keep running their mouths about how they’ll support Hillary to the end and are posting wherever they can “McCain ‘08, Hillary ‘12,” really makes me wonder about the future of this country…
Even still, that’s a rant for another time…
