OK, I'll admit it. I am a Hillary supporter. I believe in equal rights for all, regardless of your lifestyle. I believe in controlling weapons that have no purpose other than to kill another human being. (Yes, a .22 is a varmint gun and a 12-gauge is useful for hunting, but that's it.) I believe that healthcare should be affordable and available to all. I believe that stem cell research should be used to end horrible diseases. And, I believe that the government should tend to the business of running the government, provide the funding to support American life, and stay the hell out of my personal life. But, just because my candidate was not nominated as the Democrat presidential candidate does not mean I will abandon my beliefs. I supported Hillary because she stood for many of the same things I believe in, not because she was Hillary.
Now, John McCain thinks he can gain my vote by choosing a female running mate. Does he really think I am stupid or just plain gullible? Why would I go against all I believe in to vote for someone who stands for all I deplore just because she is a woman? And, while he's pointing fingers at Obama's lack of experience, he picks someone who has less political experience than anyone since Ulysses S. Grant. Come on, John, stop trying to play us for fools.
I don't know that Obama has all the answers I'm looking for, but I do know that the McCain-Whoever ticket has no answers at all. From what I can see, all they are promising is more of the same, and this nation cannot stand any more of that.
And, while I'm complaining about our politicians, I would like to see all political ads banned. Not one ad tells me anything right about the candidate, only everything wrong with the opponent. If you can't explain what you stand for without pointing fingers at your opponent, you don't deserve to run for office. Tell me what's right about you if you want my vote. Otherwise, shut the hell up.
