reunited and it feels so good...

there has been a lot of chatter coming from dejected hilary clinton supporters in recent weeks about their desire to throw their support behind some guy named mccain...these ladies (and i think i saw a gay guy on larry king too)have cited senator clinton's mistreatment throughout the democratic primary season as the main reason for dipping out on the donkey party...and frankly...i don't understand...i agree that there were several outrageous comments made about clinton...but most of these were shot out by right winged political pundits who drew joy from seeing the democratic party come apart at the seams...and this is who you're going to let steer your voting boat...furthermore...when was the last time the republican party invited a woman to the convention for anything other than drink serving and lap dancing...you're foolish to believe that since your candidate lost a fair hotly contested battle that your needs would be better served by old man mccain...both obama and clinton have admitted on several occassions that the policy differences between them were miniscule at best...a mere rounding error in this argument of foreign policy, healthcare and tax breaks for the average working american...if you're looking for a change on any of these fronts, the republican party is definitely not the place to look...it's kinda like looking for allen iverson's name on the list of honoroary klan inductees this year...probably won't find it...i know the race was grueling, the loss extremely painful but we can't allow that to change what we all agreed were the right next steps for this country to take...we must bring the troops home...we have to put money back into the households that really need it and we definitely have to make sure that the most powerful country on the face of the planet has health care for all of its inhabitants...so if you're considering switching...don't do it...reconsider...read some literature...on the subject...you sure...well kuf it...cause essentially that's what you're saying to the policies and ideals senator clinton has been fighting for these last 19+ months...
