I've got a splitting headache. I think the headlines are to blame for this. Every time I open up my news feeds all I can see is Hillary Clinton. She seems to have gotten around that media bias she was so intent on carrying on about. But is this a good thing for her, or for any of us who are tired of the "leadership" that we've been seeing for the past eight years? Let's say she somehow manages to get Michigan and Florida's votes to count towards her pledged delegates. She goes on to win the primary based on this, and we get to the general election. Can we really vote for someone who has laid on this amount of slime to her campaign? Is she any better than Karl Rove? She signed a pledge with the other candidates at the beginning of the election saying that she would not campaign in Florida or remain on the ballot on Michigan. She then sent letters to Florida Democrats reminding them to vote, and remained on the ballot for Michigan, breaking that pledge and winning both states in the process. Now she's hurting bad in the race to be the candidate for President of the United States of America, and she's going even further back on her pledge, attempting to get the delegates seating at the Democratic National Convention! She's yelling "Sexism, Bias!" but has she once stepped back and looked at the way her campaign could be viewed by the people she's trying to get to vote for her? Can we really trust that she'll be a better President then John McCain when she's using tactics like that? I, for one, am seeing the lines blur here, and I'm starting to wonder if there is a difference between these candidates. If she were to go to the election in November we'd be pretty screwed. I don't want this election to just be another vote for the status quo, I want to see a chance to change things, shake them up a bit. Politics in America need a change, and Hillary Clinton is not going to be that change, and John McCain sure as hell isn't going to change the way things have been operating.
Please America, don't make me try to expatriate...because if these people are the only real choices I have come November, I might just have to consider that.

Not an option. If we don't stay here to campaign, educate, organize, and vote to protect everything that once made our nation a cause worth dying for, all that will remain in our wake is a constituency of jingofied NASCAR fans to cheer the coronations of Bush/Cheney III, IV, and however many more. Besides, if Johnny Boy bags the prize and you skip out, whatever he and his perpetrate in your wake will leave you feeling like you left a loaded piece in a room with a four-year-old and took a nap.
