Don't Quit Hillary!

I never thought I would see the day when the Democratic Party disenfranchises voters after what happened in Florida in 2000 and the criticism they leveled at the Republicans. That single incident, with The Supreme Court stopping the count, coronating Bush to the Presidency motivated me to seek U.S. Citizenship. Prior to that, I wanted to remain a citizen of my country of birth due to what I considered unfair treatment and inconsistent application of laws in America. I became a U.S. Citizen after 911 because I wanted to have a voice in American politics. Taking the oath was one of the most emotional days of my life.

I donated money and volunteered for Kerry/Edwards in 2004: made 100's of phone calls and canvassed. I was very devastated and depressed when they lost. To make matters worse, I was angry when it was reported that Kerry did not spend the $Millions he had raised, but kept it, including the database of names for a 2008 run.

Forward to 2008. I am very upset with the Democratic Party, and Ted Kennedy in particular, that they have "decided" that Obama will be the nominee, passing Hillary Clinton over, after she has spent "years" working for this Party. It's almost as if they are saying no woman will be "allowed" to be President. I think there has been an orchestrated effort on the part of the media and the Democratic Party to keep Hillary from getting the nomination. There has been no scrutiny of Obama, his resume is thin, he has changed his position on many issues, and he's going to weaken America by talking to these crazy people like the Iranian leader and others. It bothers me that Hamas "approves" of him as the nominee. I am bothered by the "associations" he's had, despite the media "giving him a pass."

Another thing that bothers me is the biased way the media has covered the campaign, the sexist comments journalists and others have spoken of Hillary. I don't like the "racism" tag they have put on Bill Clinton, statement from Prominent blacks referencing "impeachment" and dissing Bill Clinton's Presidency. I think a lot of people have been disloyal and have stabbed the Clinton's in the back, including Ted Kennedy.

Hillary should stay in the race and fight for what she believes in. If that means taking it to the convention... so be it. Women deserve the respect of the Democratic Party for their loyalty in the lean times, and now they seem to be saying well...you don't matter now, we have "young voters and African Americans. Well, I tell you what, no one has proven to me yet that the Democratic Party can win ANY general election without women. Let's see if Obama can win with the coalition he has created...he seems to think he can do without the blue collar vote.
