I seriously, honestly, with all my heart want Hillary to win this election. Obama won't be so bad, and if he gets the nomination, all of my weight will be thrown behind him, but I really don't believe that he knows what he is doing. He is great with people, but there is no evidence to back up the idea that he could successfully run our country. And we will be FUCKED if we get another one of those (see George W. Bush)

WARNING: dude, you asked, so i told. excruciatingly pro-obama message to follow, and i won't be offended if you respond in the absolute opposite to my sentiments :) i just feel SO STRONGLY about this, and have for months now.

-----------------------------------

i am unbelievably, hugely in support of barack obama, and super-crazy-insanely against hillary clinton. i support the idea that if one has researched thoroughly one's candidate and has made an intelligent decision regarding who they wish to support, way more power to them and high-fives all around for exercising their right to a fair and democratic republic. but HRC will destroy the country.

the whole point of barack running is that he DOESN'T have a lot of experience in politics, meaning he is a real person running for office and not vulnerable to all the stupid, asshole things our current government prides themselves on (lobbyists, "unfinished" wars like our current one ...). HRC is not shy about taking lobbyist money, and barack hasn't touched a DIME of lobby money because that's not what he's about. he is going to change the world when he's President, and he's already begun changing the country through his campaign -- no other candidate can claim that. news stations, pundits, even McCain and HRC's campaigns have been amazed at the enthusiasm, pride, and force of Obama's support, supporters, and platform. I LOVE being a part of such a wave of the future, and a true and actual campaign of progress and betterment. I HATE america, but obama WILL bring our country to a place I can be proud of.

veterans support him wholeheartedly; the only member of the Senate who has actually served in the Iraq war as it is today has officially endorsed him; huge LGBT organizations have thrown themselves behind him; 71% of all voters with a college degree support him (compared to 65% of those without a degree support HRC, and there are a shit ton more people WITHOUT an education than with). Obama garners support from intelligent people, people who actually have experience on the ground with the issues he supports, and young people aged 18-30, who have the power and ability to change the world.

HRC has support from old voters, low-income, uneducated voters, and Catholics. which group of people do YOU want running the country?

If McCain's running mate appeals to democrats and independents and it's between McCain and HRC, i'll either not vote or vote McCain. I'm not willing to have someone who has discussed dropping out for months, has been begged and begged to drop out and turn her amazing power and energy and influence to a corner or issue she can really make progress on instead of ripping the party apart further and further, is $10 mill in debt even though she's taken huge numbers of lobbyist money and injected $5 million of bill's money into her campaign, and someone who's husband has already been in office and who is trying to take over her campaign and accuse Obama of garnering support because of his race ... AND she ripped off "Yes We Can!" and shouts "Yes We Will!" at her campaigns. that's BS and i cried a little.

i cannot support HRC as even a CHOICE for the presidency. we need change, and we need it now, and we have the power and the ability to do it now. Compare America right now to pre-WWI germany: the value of the dollar, the role of the government, and the blaming of certain ethnic groups for our own problems are all terrifyingly similar. HRC said on Tuesday she's perfectly ready and willing to go to war with Iran, who DOES have nuclear weapons, when she's president. i'm headed out of the country if she's elected, because if i can get out of the way of WWIII, i'm damn well going to try.

Europeans have agreed that an election of Obama would be a huge step to forgiveness, because he's willing to work with the world instead of against it. AND he's never, ever, EVER even insinuated giving, even in a campaign that has tried to destroy him from day one. THAT is the kind of President I want and am GOING to have. Period.

So ..... vote Obama.

Obama's gay pride page on his website he wants to treat gays as equal people, not as a special interest group, because they AREN'T a special interest group; they are PEOPLE):
