Unity
To All My Fellow Hillary Supporters
By mtnsnake
First let me say that I think all of you are the best. Having said that, I hope you all decide to vote for the Democratic ticket. For those of you who aren't planning on doing that, I respect your decision, but please give it a few weeks, and then ask yourselves this:
Do you really want to take a chance on seeing the environment get raped for 4 more years? Think about it. When George Bush took over, he did what all Republicans do. He flushed all of Bill Clinton's environmental regulations down the toilet. Our environment and our wildlife cannot stand to be pillaged for another 4 years.
Do you really want to see the wealthiest people in this country continue to get tax handouts at the expense of the rest of us?
Do you really want to see the fanatical Religious Right have a major say in the direction this country needs to take?
I'm not suggesting that you should kiss and make up with every person who slandered Hillary, but don't let those people push you away from your party, at least not yet. Some of them, especially the ones who have done nothing but show up to slander Hillary, are doing it because they don't want you to vote Democrat, period, so don't give them the satisfaction. There are lots of sincere Obama supporters but sometimes they get drowned out by the multitudes of ones who are here for a different reason...to get you to vote for the other party.
Anyway, as tough as it is, don't let the media or people on a posting board decide your vote for you. If you're abstaining from voting for the Democratic nominee because of how certain posters treated you or Hillary, then just take a break from this place, think it over, look at things from a different perspective, and then decide without the influence of anonymous posters from a message board stressing you into doing something you might regret a year from now. Time cures just about anything. If you still feel the same way then as you do now, then ya gotta do, what ya gotta do.
Look, the Republican who is running isn't George Pataki. He is John McCain. While McCain is an honorable American in some ways, and while he is a better man than George W Bush, his priorities do not fall in line with ours. McCain will bring us four more years of tax breaks for the filthy rich at the expense of the environment and at the expense of the rest of us. He will say "bombs away" before he says "let's talk this over".
