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.

Good Tuesday
Here we are, finally down to the end of the Primary elections. We have Clinton down by more than 100 delegates with only 48 left up for grabs, and about half of those are likely to go to Obama. We're nearing the end, my friends, of a long circus of an election. We knew who would be winning this election from the day that Obama won 11 straight primaries. We knew who would be winning this election when Obama over took Clinton in pledged delegates. We knew who would be winning this election when Clinton started losing super delegates to Obama. We've seen this coming for a long time now. Because of this, I just can't help but ask the question: Why didn't Clinton see this coming? Why is Clinton still fighting for this? The actions Clinton has been taking have hurt our chances of dodging another four to eight years of having a Republican president. McCain has been able to start on his general election campaign without the distractions of the Republican primary while we've got Clinton trying to grasp at straws claiming that the super delegates will tell the voters that she's the only real choice for the Democrat presidential candidate. We knew in April that she would lose the election, and her insistence on staying in the election has allowed McCain to run unopposed for the three months to define himself to the voters of the nation. It's only been very recently that Obama has started his general election campaign by shifting the focus from his campaign against Clinton to his campaign against McCain. How long ago could we have shifted this focus if we didn't have a fly buzzing in our ear? How long ago could we have begun the fight to drive the Republicans out of the White House and give ourselves a chance for some change in the way politics work?
At this point, Clinton's aides have let us know that she is not planning on ceding the election to Obama, that she is not going to withdraw from the race. She may have headed back to New York, Bill Clinton may have said that this was the last race he would campaign in, but she is still not giving up her fight to be back in the White House. Will we have to wait until the Democratic National Convention in August before we can start the campaign against McCain? Clinton needs to realize the damage that she's causing her party by staying in the race, and that McCain is going to use that to his advantage. Let's get this over with before we have troops going into Iran. Let's get this over with before we're bombing Syria. Let's end this primary election and move on to defeating the greatest threat currently posed against American freedom: Four more years of Republicans in the White House.

Oh Johnny Boy, you rascal you.
You have put so much emphasis on your military record, your time as a P.O.W., but you won't support a bill to help the young people of this country who have decided it is their duty to follow your lead? Oh no, you say you want to give them benefits, but the problem with the current bill is that the soldiers aren't getting in the way of bullets enough times. No, they should have to re-enlist two or three times before they get those health benefits, that help with college. They should risk there lives more than once in the defense of the nation they're so proud to serve before we will help provide mental health care, after coming home from seeing all those people die at their own hands. We need them to see more friends die, get hit with more shrapnel, get shot in more limbs before can help provide the care they need.
I understand that Obama hasn't served, that he doesn't know what it's like to go to war, but then again, neither did Bush and you seemed fine with him sending thousands of kids oversees. The truth is you are a hypocrite. If you're going to be so dead set on a person's need to serve the nation in combat, you better be offering them some great benefits when they come home with a broken mind and a missing leg.
