Clinton Fans Form 527 To Tackle Gender, Race

Submitted by jeanne in dallas, Feb 28, 2008 13:35

What ever happened to common sense? Do we only care about insisting we are right or who our neighbors are voting for? This is not a popularity contest! We need real answers and action now! Come on, please have courage, be true Americans, and make your own decision! What would our founding fathers think? Time magazine had a wonderful article and front page titled "The Radical Mind of Thomas Jefferson". Now our founding fathers would probably would be considered terrorists.
I proudly support and will vote for Senator Clinton as our next President. Hillary Clinton has always stood up to answer the tough questions, has an actual plan of action from day one, and has the experience to back it up.
If Barack Obama were selected, the Republicans have already started in with their smear tactics: inexperience, Muslim/radical ties, who knows what else. What really matters is the numerous problems facing us right now! Lets focus on reality! Time and money are of essence. Its illogical to start from scratch, do a bunch of studies, see what might be a good plan, and what in 4 years nothing has been accomplished yet?
We cannot take a chance on losing this election! Please do not hand this term over to the Republicans so easily. At rallies for Hillary, I have heard lifelong Democrats, tell me they may have to vote Republican for the first time ever! This is out of fear of Obama's inexperience & arrogance in not taking the time to learn the ropes and gain the necessary experience needed, there was no bigotry! There were all walks of life: old & young, wealthy & struggling, soccer moms & dads, black men & women, hispanic men & women, disabled veterans, people who have come to the USA from all over. Good, hardworking people with common sense and values.
Hillary is of course the right choice!
Do you want to go though another 4 years of the same Bush/Chaney type administration? Personally I don't think the majority of us regular people want or can handle that. We do not want another 50-100 years in Iraq. That is a battle we have no business being in and cannot win. Remember, neither Alexander the Great or Napoleon could win over this region! And why exactly are we there again? I honor and respect our men and women serving our country with all my heart. They deserve answers as to when they will be coming home, what kind of veterans care they will receive, etc. How many of the GOP's sons & daughters are over there right now?
We need homeland security! We saw Americans left to die in the streets during Katrina! How shameful!
Parents, old and young, think of the future of our children, their children, and so on. Before its to late!
It doesn't matter what others say, do what you know in your heart and head is right!
