Among the one of two major candidates that will win, the Democratic nominee in this election and in elections as far back as I can remember, have made the decision a very simple one.
The Democratic nominee versus the Republican nominee is superior and:
if you care about the environment, it's not even close.
if you care about equal opportunity, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation,
religion or disability, it's not even close.
if you care about choice, it's not even close.
if you care about Universal Health Care, it's not even close.
if you care about appointing fair judges, agency heads based on merit, and running the government fairly and properly, it's not even close.
if you care about peace, and don't want to have to worry that your president will get angry and in a pique get us into a war unnecessarily, it's not even close.
if you care about making taxes fairer, it's not even close.
if you care about the economy's effect on the middle class and poor, it's not even close.
So, you can decide on all the above issues and our nominees have time and time again, been superior representatives of our values and continue to be. In not supporting the nominee, you must make secondary most issues Democrats care about to something else. That something you are placing before our issues does not outweigh the damage to our values that will occur under a President McCain.
This is why I support Obama, though he was not my first choice when this race began. This is why everyone I know who supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries strongly supports the nominee this time. We are all voting our values.
If you won't vote our values, then I don't think I can even convince you based on reason. So I guess this is my last shot at trying for those who are reading.
