Jill Dorson: Disappointed Barack Obama Voter? Blame Sarah Palin!–UPDATED

Dear Jill Dorson,

I get that you’re embarrassed that you voted for a newbie like Barack Obama. I get that you are a sucker and bought the hype. I get that you’re sorry for your stupid vote.

You should be sorry.

You made a silly, immature decision based on superficial feelings, celebrity hype and empty promises. That sort of decision-making is great for voting for things like People Magazine’s Hottest Guy, but you know, this is the leader of the free world and all and such trivial motivations should be left behind–like in High School.

But no, you voted for Barack Obama for this:

Seven years later, I am ashamed to say that I was blinded by charisma. Obama was so convincing that I stopped caring about what he knew and started getting caught up in the euphoria. Imagine having a president who came from a broken home, who had money troubles, who did grass-roots community service? A young father. The first black president. It pains me to admit I got caught up in the hoopla.

Really? He had a tough life? He had a “compelling life story”? Aw, produce a made-for-TV Lifetime movie for the man. Don’t vote for him for President.

Worse, you voted against John McCain for similarly petty Teen Beat reasons:

Before John McCain unwittingly picked a tabloid-magazine cover girl for his running mate, I was leaning toward going Republican this time around. I did the second time Bush was on the ballot and I very nearly did the first time, too. But as soon as Palin climbed out of her igloo and onto the national scene, well, there was no turning back for me.

That Igloo-dwelling woman ran a state, you silly girl. She had executive experience–which is more than can be said for Barack Obama. Seeing Barack Obama gracing every Tabloid (and yes, I include Newsweek) didn’t dismay you. Seeing a Republican, conservative woman who happened to be beautiful dismayed you.

You are a chauvinistic bigot.

You think that your ideology makes you superior. Worse, you overlooked a candidate who was exactly what you wanted–fiscal conservative and socially rather liberal–because of his vice presidential candidate?

I call bullshit.

You are trotting out your sorry excuse for your vote now, because you know that there is nothing hipper in lefty circles than hating Sarah Palin. You try to save face for an immature choice by blaming a Vice Presidential candidate who would have no bearing on the Presidency.

But hating Sarah Palin does bone up your trend-seeking cred. You can still be the cool girl in school by hating the most beautiful girl and regretting schtupping the hottest guy and finding out that he’s just a big talker.

Grow up.

This country cannot function when voters act twelve years old and make electoral choices like this:

Like many others, my view is narrow. I vote for the candidate I think will be best for me. I often define myself as a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. But above all, I want to feel safe and I don’t want to feel that I am being ripped off. I want a president who inspires me and cares about my contribution to the fabric of the country. I want a president with experience and savvy, a Commander in Chief who puts our country and its citizens first.

Really? You voted for who was best for you? Best for you how?

Your self-esteem was stroked by voting for Barack Obama. Feel better? You are a “good person.” You voted for the first black president. You were historical. But you didn’t vote for the guy who would “keep you safe” or who had experience or someone who would put America first.

No, you voted for someone just. like. you.

Barack Obama is vapid, self-serving, believes his own hype, long on talk, short on action, he’s in over his head, he’s immature and made an art of blaming.

Just like you.

You hurt the country with your narcissism, just as President Obama has hurt the country with his narcissism and will continue to do so.

Blaming Sarah Palin for your lameness is just par for the course. Another typical, face-saving decision by a childish voter.

You have three years, Ms. Dorsan. I suggest you spend them worrying less about the Republican party and giving them advice, and more about growing up.

How will you even know a good candidate when you see one? You’re so blinded by your superficial needs that you’ll likely vote for the next feel-good dummy who comes along.

Good luck with the maturity thing. Being a grown-up is hard–just ask President Barack Obama.

Sincerely,

Melissa Clouthier
A Proud McCain Voter

P.S. John McCain wasn’t perfect. He wasn’t my favorite candidate and I probably would have loathed many of his decisions as President. But he would have been better than Barack Obama. That was obvious to anyone not swooning like a groupie.

UPDATED:

Seems I’m not the only one irritated with Ms. Dorson. Another Black Conservative says:

Well, Ms. Dobson, apology not accepted. Instead I offer you a big fat “F*ck you”! Your colossal stupidity has doomed millions of Americans, who were ten times smarter than you, to the same fate of unemployment you now endure. You and your ilk run around pretending you are the smartest things on two feet, yet you could not see a dime store con artist standing right before you!

You knock Sarah Palin as being a dumb soccer mom, but had you had three functioning brain cells, you would have noticed that Sarah Palin predicted exactly what Obama was going to be all about during her convention speech. How is it a supposed mental giant like you could not plainly see what poor rube Sarah Palin figured out in 5 seconds flat?

Moe Lane adds this:

You admit that your first impression of George W Bush was incorrect. You admit that your first impression of Barack Obama was incorrect. You admit that your first impression of what an Obama administration would entail is incorrect. And then you spend an amazing amount of precious apology time revisiting your unfavorable first impression of THAT WOMAN. Have you considered following the trend line, there?

While we’re on the subject: you are aware that THAT WOMAN made many of the same objections about Obama’s experience and future plans, yes? I mean, really: there was no reason for anybody to be surprised at what happened.
