So I have reached my decision |
|
I know it came late, and is probably all the less meaningful for it, but I have come to a conclusion. Whoever the Democratic nominee is, I will vote for them. I may like one and dislike the other, but I will do it. Even if it is reversed somehow, even if I perceive it to be stolen I will will for for the democrat.
I made my choice when reading a little of the insanity over at His44. I realised, this is not me. I am not a Republican, I don't watch Fox. I do not hate Obama because he is multiracial, nor do I hate Hillary because she is female. In fact, I am a Sexist and a Racist. I prefer Women and Black people. In my life experience, people from those 2 groups have always treated me much better than the rest of the populace.
I want to win. I want to be proud to say I am an American, not ashamed. And a McCain presidency offers me absolutely no chance of it.

What a revelation you think it's a good thing that someone is going to support the nominee, now that it's Obama. :eyes:
It's very hypocrticial., considering you wouldn't be gracious at all if the poster was talking about the person you loathe: Hillary Clinton.

9. I am talking about Hillary Clinton |
|
I do not find it likely that she will win. But if she does, I will vote for her.

5. I do not believe you would be advocating group hugs Derek, |
|
if we were talking about Hillary.
It's really sad.

They are truly nuts over there. Seems like their main focus is a slightly carefully spoken focus on how Whites need to rise up and take back control, and on how much Rush is starting to make sense to them. Fuck that(makes you wonder if the people leading it ever were really Dem Hillary supporters, rather than Wolves waiting to try to sow the bitterness and disention that is their only hope after the Fuckup that has been bush). But I realized that my reluctance to support the nominee, were it Clinton, was all too similar in its pettiness. Even an Undemocratic Democrat is better than a Republic of any stripe.
