I've been sitting on the fence in the Democratic Primaries, for a time I really felt conflicted between Obama and Clinton. Over the past few months I've almost become certain that another Clinton presidency would be disastrously for the country and the democratic party. As this primary has dragged on I've come to not believe in anything Clinton has to say, rather I've come to realize that everything she has to say is cold and calculated. I've also realized that she'll change her position on just about anything as long as it suits her personally. I'll try to explain below.
- Seating Michigan and Florida
I first started to get worried when I started to hear all the talk about seating the delegates from Michigan and Florida. I feel this speaks to her truthfulness and gives us incite into seeing whether she will keep her promises if she were to win the general. Sadly I have to say this incident shows that all her principals need to be called into question. If there was an agreement why not honor it? Why change the rules after the elections were held? What other promises is she making that she'll go back on.
- Lack of 50 state strategy
Once again were seeing a old Clinton model of not competing everywhere. Were Obama is trying to put every state in play and making inroads into republicans strongholds. I think its really important for us to bring republicans into the fold and thats what Obama is doing. If were really going to change the country we need to bring the republicans on board. If Clinton wins I feel this just wont happen, they'll write off the red states just as they did before and as there doing now in the primaries. So far Obama has won 22 states to Clinton's 10, in response the Clinton team has said that other then Illinois Obama has won in states that "don't matter" How can we get real change and move forward as a country if almost half the country doesn't matter? This reminds me all of Bush's writing off the the black vote and allot of the northeast cause they didn't agree with him, do we really want a democrat that will and is doing the same?
- The War
I'll try to keep this one short but Hillary continues to speak about her 35 years of experience. The Iraq war vote was around 6 years ago so she had 29 years of experience then. So with 29 years of experience she voted for the war, what makes you think she would behave the same manner if a similar situation arose again? Shes either lying to or is incompetent when she says that she didn't know what she was voting for. I find it hard that someone with 29 years of experience can get fooled into voting for a war and if she did that speaks to sheer incompetence.
Anyways those are my thought, if you disagree let me know why im wrong i'd love to hear from you all.
