I'm disappointed...

It seems there are those in the Democratic Party who want to keep the same old song going. They are so against change they will do anything, even to the point of sabotaging a Democratic win. I cannot support Hillary, period.  I feel she'll be the choice of the establishment Democrat powers, and will go on to alienate the independent vote, thus delivering the Whitehouse to McCain. 

Some talk by McCain and Clinton have said that Obama is elitist. He is not (my own personal opinion), and sometimes when he speaks the truth, it hurts. However, he is a black man in a white nation with a long history of racial tension, making it easy for his opponents to 'label' him. Will race play a role in the election? I think it will, because the Republicans will unleash the attack dogs, those 504's and 527's, the 'swift boat brigades'.  Can America elect a black man as president? I hope so.

I hope so too. What a statement it would make! Yes, change. I, too, say I wouldn't vote for Hillary. I do not understand her, and I probably will vote for her, if it unfairly comes to that, rather than risking it going to McCain, who I think is, at this point, insane.

My father fought in WWII, and when his plane was shot down, he was placed in a POW camp in Germany. He rarely spoke of it. It was not his claim to fame. I don't understand why we have to go on and on about what happened to McCain so long ago, and I find his racial slurs more than disturbing. There is never an excuse for a leader to speak like that. Of course, I could go on and on, and I won't. We are on the same page. :)
