Even More on Primaries

Well, the race is on! Candidates are dropping out all over the place and frontrunners are battling for the presidency. And, of course, the media is making everything seem a hell of a lot worse than it actually is. What is really getting to me is the sludge being spewed about Hillary Clinton. I've stopped believing almost everthing I hear about her from the mass media. First, she broke down! She cried! She's not emotionally fit to run the country! My response? A hell of a lot of eye-rolling. Then suddenly, it was a political strategy! She faked it to seem more human! Give me a break. Now; the Clintons are playing the race card! Hilary insulted Dr. King's legacy! Come on, people! She said nothing offensive! All she said was that Dr. King's dream started to be fully realized when the president passed laws against segregation. How is that insulting King? Also, I keep hearing that she in "unelectable". If Hillary Clinton were to win the democratic nomination, I am fully convinced that she would win the presidency. She would draw support from Obama's supporters and all the people who are fully sick of the Republican party.

So, just to break it down, in the Democratic court it's Clinton vs. Obama and in the Republican court it's McCain vs. Romney. I swear to God if Romney is nominated as the Republican candidate I will lose the little respect I have left for the Rupublican party.

On a personal note, I'm very excited to be protesting tomorrow at a McCain rally in CT. When my brother heard, he asked me if I was going to be "zappy-thinged" (tasered). Tells you something about the image the Republican party is unintentionally putting out.
