I've now officially moved from Hillary to Barak. |
|
This was not easy for me because loyalty has always been something I've seen as a cardinal virtue. I was never against any of the other Democratic candidates, I was for Hillary with the VERY clear acknowledgment that any of ours was better than any of theirs.
However, this needs to be OVER. It needs to be over NOW!
I cannot in any good conscience continue to decry the Supreme Court for inserting an unelected fraud into the white house in 2000 and, at the same time, look to super delegates to nominate a candidate who has fewer wins, pledged delegates and popular votes. I was selected to our state convention here in Maine as a delegate pledged to Hillary. On the floor I will vote for Obama. As John Lewis said, this has become a movement. It is a movement I can happily support.
I wholeheartedly supported Hillary. I will always believe that she'd be a winning general election candidate and a great president. This does not change the fact that my fellow Democrats have spoken. I respect their decision. I will actively and enthusiastically support Barak Obama as the next president of the United States. I will be proud to point to him and tell my son that he is the president. I will be proud to point to Michelle as our first lady. I will be overjoyed to have a first family that I can respect again.
Is this the outcome I wanted in January? No.
Do I accept this outcome? Yes.
Do I want there to be even the REMOTEST possibility of 4 years of more of this criminal administration's policies under a president John McSame? NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO!
We can all look at the primaries and caucuses and say that with a few thousand more votes here & there, Hillary would have been the nominee. So what? If the dog didn't stop to shit he'd have caught the rabbit.
For all intents and purposes, we have a nominee. Let the healing begin. Fellow Hillary supporters, deal with it and lets help Barak Obama become our next president. Obama supporters, please don't be sore winners. All of us, lets look at the senator from Arizona and think of his public embraces of this excuse for a president, both physically and policy wise, and focus on what our party and our country really needs.
Obama 08. Change we can believe in!
PEACE!

I am glad that you see that there are more important things out there than this race going on and on.
Heck we got Congress to get a filibuster majority in!

10. BTW look out for flames. |
|
There are some Clinton supporters here who just like to start crap and there are a few others that will consider you a traitor for going to Obama.
Don't worry they are a tiny minority and the vast amount of people here will support you in my view and many here want this race to just END.
People like me have had their celebrations and do not look to gloat. We just want to move on to more important things like the congressional situation.

16. A pledged delegage switching teams in the middle of the game? |
|
Some folks might say that would be disrespecting the will of the voters.
Just sayin' ...
