I wish Senator Clinton would,...move beyond her horizons and into ALL of ours.
I've chosen to be absent from the primary war, until now.

I am a believer in 'nation over party' in addition to 'moral integrity over ALL'. Actually, I believe moral integrity and the rule of law guides my life.

I oppose 'winning at all cost' and am an adherent to advocacy for basic human rights.

I apologize for the cynicism I feel at Senator Clinton's stubbornness in prolonging the primary; BUT, she has personal experience with the lost cause of McCarthy,...and I can NOT help but question her motivation,...at this time. I had always figured the Clintons simply wanted to finish what they started (i.e. children's rights, health care, humanitarian reform in foreign policy, etc.).

However,...

,...they (the Clintons) seem more interested in their legacy/power than the possibility of empowering a whole new realm, another revolutionary step towards authentic democracy.

That bothers me, a LOT.

I realize they believe themselves so superior on the political front and they are more experienced than I. However, if they sincerely seek to utilize their influence and power to help someone like me or all those around me, I can't imagine why they would continue/perpetuate the Obama/Clinton split rather than take the noble course and FOCUS ON UNIFICATION to win the general.

I dunno',...maybe the Clintons either believe (falsely) they aren't splitting people or they have power to overcome the right-wing shit irreparably spewed at rural America or that they can "win" or ????? I really don't care what the Clintons are 'thinking', right now.

I only know that, Senator Clinton is damaging,....the future of my family and neighbors and nation.

I realize 'electability' is an issue. However, Obama WILL BE ELECTED IF IF IF

Please, end the primary war and prepare for the real war FOR AMERICA in the general.

I picked up the "LIFE" magazine, 'Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.; 40 Years Later". I dog-eared just one page that has the following remark by our most memorable visionary:

We should not devour each other to the delight of onlookers who would have us corrupt and sully the noble quality of our crusade."

We have an enemy within our nation/government we must defeat. We know that. Now, we must pull together our resources and defeat that enemy, without distraction. The enemy are those at the top of the economic echelon intentionally selling the souls and hearts and labor of the American people for profit; whether in the war in the Middle East or the war in Wall Street.

That's all I have to say.

At some point, there will be rules and no 'game'.

We're not at that point, right now.
