WHY WE NEED A CHANGE
I know that talking Politics can be dangerous territory, but Tom and I have become passionate about how totally hypocritical, corrupt and hateful the Republican party has become. If you're a Republican and you're starting to read this, I just want to point out some things that have really frustrated us- specifically, the hypocracy of saying the party is the most "religious."
Yes, each party has it's problems, but the Democrats don't preach that they're "next to God" and then embezzle (Tom Delay R-Texas), have affairs while being married (former Rep. Speaker in 2006), solicit sex in a men's room and many other places (according to the Idaho newspaper) and deny being gay (Larry Craig R-Idaho) and don't forget Mark Foley (R-FL) who sent suggestive emails to teenage male pages...etc. etc. Sure, Democrats have issues, but nothing like Republicans.
In fact, Tom and I believe that after 7 years of all these lies, deceit, corruption, etc. that anyone that votes Republican is just voting to support all that has happened over the last 7 years and they want more. Why? We don't know. The hatred of gay people has become a "God" issue- and since when did God "hate" anyone? Hmmm.
WHO I'VE FOUND TO BE BEST QUALIFIED TO FIX THINGS
Anyway, I recently thought about how one candidate could restore the U.S. to a place of admiration in the world (and I read her autobiography years ago).
I've read up on all of the candidates stances on issues- and I can say that I agree most with Senator Hillary Clinton. This woman has stood up to more made up scandals by a vicious Republican Congress in the 1980s than almost any other political figure. She is passionate about children, health care, fixing the economy, restoring the middle class; finding alternative energy sources and lowering energy costs, ending the war in Iraq (John McCain said "We'll be in Iraq for 100 years" - What is that about?), restoring education and getting rid of that USELESS "no child left behind" Texas company based unfunded mandate, working against climate change (I KNOW all about this personally), reforming immigration, and more. READ and EDUCATE yourself- then see if you agree or disagree, but READ: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/
Personally, I admire the way Senator Clinton interacted with world leaders and visited foreign countries when she was First Lady, and truly believe that has provided an experience unparalled by any other candidate running against her. In addition to her experience in various countries with all sorts of leaders, I believe that Mrs. Clinton can restore the image of the U.S. as a place of hope, peace and acceptance in the world.
Over the last 7 years, I have been saddened by the number of people I've met on air travel that have moved to Canada or have been ashamed that the U.S. has been bullying the world instead of talking and reaching civil conclusions.
It would be refreshing to not have someone running the country who is fixated on war, and have a President that wants to achieve peaceable relations (if possible) with the world instead while still guarding our country - and focusing our efforts against terrorism in Afghanistan, where they should have been.
Sen. Clinton is the most knowledgeable, caring, fearless and educated candidate this country has seen in 8 years.
For those who have a bad impression of her, GO read her stance on issues. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/
You MAY gain a new respect. For those who are too small minded to do that- If you don't want to educate yourself on where each candidate stands, then you shouldn't vote. Make an informed decision.
