My message to those who have a problem with the Clinton "dynasty" [View All]

[antiimperialist]

To me, voting for a politician based on how many of his/her ancestors or spouses have been president is unreasonable.
Why the hell should poor people care about the last name of the person who wants to provide them with affordable health care?
Why should people with cancer waste their time comparing the last names of those candidates who support funding for embryonic stem cell research that can speed up cures for their ailment?

Should the parents of children whose health insurance is threatened by Bush opposed him because he's George Bush senior's son? Or because he only cares about the rich?

In the United States, if you do not want to vote for a candidate because, despite being awesome, his/her daddy, husband or granddaddy were presidents, then you have this thingy called elections that are held every 4 years, that gives you the opportunity to select a different one.

I know Tim Russert is not the only one who thinks this is a big deal. There are Democrats who share his views, and this message is for you.
