OK, I have just about had enough of Democrats saying they won't vote for Hillary or they won't vote for Obama! The biggest difference between them is that one has a cock and the other a vijayjay, the other difference is skin color. After that there isn't that much different about them. Their policies are 95% similar and they are choosing more or less from the same set of advisers.
Now I don't agree with everything they are for, neither one is planning to withdrawl all our troops from Iraq for instance and both are very corporate friendly but compared with the alternative...
McCain has all sorts of problems but the main thing for me is the fact that he was a champion of pre-emptive war before G.W.Bush was even in office. He is an ultra hawk who's foreign policy is to talk shit to everyone and bomb a bunch of 'em. We do NOT need this.
I have had friends say they will NEVER vote for Hillary, they say she seems untrustworthy, too ambitious, or they don't want Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. I believe Hillary does care about the country and would do a good job as President.
Then there are those who say they will never vote for Obama because he is too inexperienced or too preacher sounding or whatever. The lack of experience claim is just an untruth. He has as much legislative experience as Hillary, he is an expert in constitutional law (just that would be a nice change from the current constitution wrecker. And besides that's what advisers are for. He has more experience than Abraham Lincoln had and he turned out to do an alright job.
Also if you think of the national campaign that Obama waged I think he proved he is a competent leader. He went up against the Clinton MACHINE and kicked some ass. He didn't run out of money like Hillary, he had a plan after super Tuesday, he didn't have top campaign managers resigning, he proved he is capable.
But again it all comes down to "think of the alternative".
The primary season was rough, but that is how our system is set up. Soon it will be time to get behind the candidate that was chosen by our democratic process and go forward with momentum and take back the white house.
Also realize that congress is who sends the laws to the President to get signed. Imagine if the democrats have a president who will actually sign the laws they make, good things will get done and congress may even be able to push Obama or Hillary to do even more liberal things than they talk about on the campaign trail. A Republican president would just mean more deadlock.
Come on folks!!!!!!! Just vote for the democrat, whoever it is, unless you like war so much that you want even more.
peace
