As a former Hillary Clinton supporter, I have pondered for a few days now on whether or not I could ever vote for her now that I know what I know about her and the people that she surrounds herself with. If the SUPERDELEGATES reverse the will of the people and give her the nomination, would you vote for her. Here's a list of things that have caused me to make a tough decision of not voting for her now or in the future. Please respond YES OR NO to the three questions at the end of the blog.
1. The way things unfolded in Ohio and Texas. NAFTA-gate and CAFTA? This was the first sign of her lack of real interest in the good of the democratic party and a total lack of respect for truth.
2. Bosnia Sniper Fire-Gate? Lack of truth and no credibility started to show up.
3. Pouncing on every thing misspoken by Senator Obama (cling and bitter gaffes)! Say and do anything to win started to creep out and she still has SO MUCH OF THAT IN HER. Senator Obama has given her a "pass" on the RFK statements but she does not know anything about the HIGH ROAD ever. It's just winning at all expense.
4. Her "as far as I know" comment regarding Senator Obama's religious background - knowing full well the truth about Senator Obama - but she just had to add that little extra doubt - playing on the minds and hearts of voters.
5. Her "he would not have been my pastor". Knowing full well that Rev. JW had been in the White House and prayed for her and her family at Bill Clinton's lowest hour.
6. Inability to manage the funds of her campaign. Wow! Campaign is in heavy debt and shows a lack of management and leadership skills.
7. The "God Bless Us Rich People" (ignored by the media) statement on Fox News. Made me feel that she really is out of touch with middle class America but is very skilled in transforming herself into one of us - in the order to manipulate voters.
8. Aligning herself with John McCain and other Republicans. Hopped on gas tax holiday proposed by Republicans although the world's economists did not agree with - and she still will not admit that it was a mistake and created to pander voters. A GREAT LEADER KNOWS WHEN TO ADMIT A MISTAKE AND WILL TRY TO IMMEDIATELY CORRECT IT AND IS ALWAYS OPEN TO THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. This does not seem to be part of her makeup.
9. The baggage that Bill Clinton brings to the table and his role in either a Clinton or Obama Administration is a "wee bit" scary. He and HRC have played the race card and has alienated many minority votes now. The AA community stood by them and now each of them only refer to the working white voters as if there are no other working voting block of people that are important,
10. HER repeated references to the Robert Kennedy tragedy.
Would you still vote for her in the general election?
Would you vote for McCain and pray that Senator Obama runs again in 2012?
Would you just not vote at all and pray for Senator Obama to ran again in 2012?
Is it me but has anyone noticed that the HRC camp is following Senator Obama's lead in changing the setup of their website and trying to duplicate the great technology tools here. This is not a bad thing of course because they are following the lead of a brilliant leader. Compare the site to what it was in the beginning of the campaign. Go Obama - The nation is following and watching you already. I heard on the news this morning that Senator John McCain is also trying to catch up to the new, fresh, CHANGE that Obama brings to the table. I mean heck CNN did a whole segment on us. Love it! It's a great day in America when the old politicians and the old way of doing things must recognize and respect the plan of great LEADER. As Barack said yesterday - God Bless America and God Bless all of you. How long do you think it will take them to copy the OMS message. AWESOME!!!!
Police concerned about order to stop weapons screening at Obama rally in Dallas, TX. Wonder why this has not been publicized more. http://www.star-telegram.com/667/story/486413.html It concerns me greatly. The telegram mentions some "random" federal officials ordered them to stop security to speed up entry. Unacceptable! What's your take.
Obama 08.
