If all Hillary supporters are like Mercadia...
by DoctorJ

Then I'm scared as hell we'll have McCain aka Bush III next January. Look, what everyone needs to wrap their brains around is that in November you'll have the choice of a candidate (likely Obama) that wants us out of Iraq and not acting as the world's bully/police, universal health care, clean energy, fair taxation etc and McCain who seems to think everything is hunky dory now and we should just continue Bush's "plan". Yet people like Mercadia that support Hillary and her technique for trying to achieve the SAME overall goals over Obama's may actually be willing to stay home or vote for someone who will NEVER try to get ANY of those things accomplished AND has openly said he'll stay in Iraq for 100 yrs if "needed" and nominate Supremes in Scalia's image, over voting for someone who agrees with the principles but not every detail/technique on how to get there.

Honestly I have a hard time believing that true supporters of Hillary that support her on the issues will be able to vote for McCain or stay home because of MINOR differences in the platform when there are such stark night and day differences between Obama and McCain.

This is like wanting to buy a Prius, and upon finding they are out of stock and are offered a Civic hybrid instead, but you say "F*** YOU! I want a Prius or I'm going to go get a Suburban to show you all!". It defies all logic. If you can't see this then I can't help you, but I hope you're in the minority of Hillary supporters or were ALL severely screwed...
