Hey! Wake Up!

Hey!

You!

Yes... YOU!

Wake up.  I know you are tired.  I know that you are weary.  I know you have been talked to death over the battle for the Democratic nomination.  I know that you are sick of hearing about Jeremiah Wright, I know that you are probably tired of hearing about how well Hillary Clinton polls among white blue collar workers.

Tired or not, I need to remind you of something.

OUR ARMED FORCES ARE AT WAR.

THEY HAVE BEEN SENT TO WAR BY IRRESPONSIBLE POLITICIANS, FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN AN IRRATIONAL, KNEE-JERK RESPONSE TO 9/11.

Over 4,000 of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have died in this immoral, illegal war of aggression.

In this Presidential election, you will have two choices, those of you who haven't voted in Primaries yet have three.  Those choices are between two Senators that mired this country in a war that has lasted longer than World War Two (without an end in sight), and another Senator that has opposed the war from the start.

Whom do you trust?  A man like John McCain, whose policies will mirror the failed policies of the current idiot-in-chief?, Hillary Clinton who stated that she voted to authorize war in Iraq because "we had to do something" about terrorism?, or the man with enough vision to say that this war was wrong, right from the start?

Never mind The Keating Five... never mind, Jeremiah Wright, never mind flagrant and unrepentant race-baiting.  Let's stick to the biggest issue that everyone seems to ignore:  Which of these people do you trust to keep the United States out of stupid and costly military misadventures?  Whom among you want to trust the lives of YOUR own children, to idiot warmongers?  Which of these people has the vision and the moral authority to make a difference in Washington?

Well, I can almost hear all of you shouting:  Barack Obama... and you'd be right.

The future is upon us.  We have clear decisions to make, and clear paths to choose from.  We can choose more of the same old bullshit if we elect either Clinton or McCain, or we can take a much needed new direction, and vote for Barack Obama.

Yes. We. Can!

YES WE WILL!

It's killing me I can't vote in our primary. UGH!

He really does seem to have the nomination wrapped up, but I'll keep praying, donating and doing whatever until then.

I just hope this gets settled early enough that there's a real chance of a Presidential win. The poison and race baiting has been really hard for the country and for party unity.
