As Senator Obama rolls along winning more and more States it appears that Democratic voters have drank the cool aid of “hope.” While everyone hopes things will get better, its what you do after hope that counts and candidate Obama offers very little in the way of solutions. Still the cool aid flows and more and more people vote for Obama over Senator Clinton. Hope and niceness trumps fight and desire right now and unfortunately its exactly the wrong choice for Democrats.
Again and again we have heard that this is a pivotal election in American history. The damage done by Bush, from the Iraq war to the appointment of two conservative Supreme Court Justices, could continue for at least another four years with potentially two more Justices to be appointed if a Republican is elected President. Is this really the year we want to fuck around with hope instead of fighting like hell to win? This is the chance to turn back the neo-conservative black tide that has taken over our country and substituted fear for reason.
Senator Clinton may not be everyone’s favorite candidate, she isn’t mine. However, I am certain that Clinton will fight back against the Republicans like hell in November and then fight alongside a Democratically controlled Congress to reverse Bush’s damage. I am not so sure that Obama will fight. Its nice to say bi-partisan this and bi-partisan that, but until you are in control you have nothing.Fight first make friends later. Republicans have done nothing but run over the Democrats for eight years. It is time to turn the tide, fix the mess, then we can talk about playing nice
Obama’s world is a place everyone would like to live but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in right now. We need to fight any way necessary to win. As John Kerry learned four years ago, if you sit back and wimp out, the Republicans will slam you every time. Let’s not allow history to repeat itself.
