Thanks Hillary

Well, it's finally over.

After a long race, the primary is finally over. Hillary Clinton has given a glowing endorsement of her former opponent Barack Obama. I just have to say that I'm happy that this is the way she decided to end it. I'm am elated that she has made the choice not to take this and drag it out to August. With her backing Obama fully rather than bitterly just saying the race is over we now have the chance to see a page in history turn come November and then January. I honestly didn't expect her to end it this way, but now that it's over I am just so happy that this is how it ended. Sorry for sounding redundant, but I really just don't want to see another Republican in the White House.

This brings me to my main point today. Just because the primary is over doesn't mean that we can relax. There are still a lot of bitter Clinton supporters out there who are claiming that they're going to do everything in their power to get McCain elected, some going so far as to say that a McCain-Clinton ticket would be the real dream ticket at this point. This is something we're going to have to prepare to fight against for the next four and half months. This is something that we are going to have to counter-act, and we're going to need Hillary Clinton to follow up on her endorsement by truly doing everything in her power to get her voters to follow her to Obama, and to a Democratic White House. She has to do everything she can to make sure that come January we're not singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran". She had created a mess out of the primary and it is now her responsibility to this nation to clean it up before we end up turning the Middle East in to a field of radioactive glass.

Again, thank you for ending the election on this note Hillary. Now please, make things right with your supporters.

Four More Years!

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.
