Petulant Politics

Or how to end up in a deeper morass.

I've been quiet lately on things political, but today I read what must be the most childish reaction to Obama's apparent win of the democratic nomination to be the candidate for president.

It seems people polled that are Hilary supporters are saying they will not vote for him.

Let's think about that folks.

You have one person that is more likely to pay attention to the bottom line of working americans, undo the tax breaks that shifted a lot of the load onto the middle and lower class while removing it from the wealthy and corporate entities, will work to extricate our troops from Iraq and get 'the war on terror' focussed on the right target. That seems the to be gist of the democrats contenders platform.

The other choice will for president says he doesn't believe in meddling in the economy and with a few tweaks to the current domestic policy will continue policies that so far have shrunk the middle class down into a lower class and the lower class into outright poverty.

He'll keep our troops in a country that has specifically said they want us to leave. At the cost of something like 40 billion dollars a month, while the economy spirals toward disaster and communities are being forced to cut back school and health programs to make ends meet.
That seems the to be gist of the republican contenders platform.

Are these Hilary supporters so petulant and so self obsessed that they'd rather see the republican take charge and continue to steer the country in the direction it has been heading for the past seven years? Really?

God, wake up. If you are at all concerned about your children, about your country, about the air you breathe and the water you drink and whether or not your progeny will be able to go to college then stop acting like over sized 5 year olds and do the right thing.
