IT HAS TO BE OBAMA
Jun. 4th, 2008 01:37 pmWTF? WTF? WTMFF?
Obama must cope with a daunting finding: One in seven white voters of his own party said in exit polls that race was important in choosing their candidate. Not only did two-thirds of them vote for Clinton, but nearly six in 10 said they would rather vote for McCain in November or stay home than support Obama.
This is what I don't get. We're to a point where we have a candidate who is going to further destroy the world by keeping us in a ridiculous, deadly war, who is going to take even more steps into the past where it comes to minority rights (although he promotes himself as more "liberal" than other Republicans,) who is a total warhawk, who made jokes about bombing Iran, who calls his wife vulgar and sexist names, who is hateful and violent and, well, conservative, and now liberals are going to vote for him, or hand him a vote by not voting at all, because they have some personal beef with Obama?
COME THE HELL ON! This is the time it shouldn't be about who you like personally, and it sure as hell should not be about race! I can understand not wanting to vote for Obama if you are for McCain and all the BS he stands for, and all of his policies. But if you are against what he is trying to accomplish and you're not going to vote for Obama for personal reasons? This is not about you! This is about the rest of the goddamn world.
Why can't people see that? If you like Obama, great, terrific; I think he's fantastic. But for godsakes vote for the issues even if you can't stand him.
Oh my gosh, I just don't get this thing with handing the country over to a creep like McCain just out of spite. And out of race, I can't even touch that with logic. Seriously, what the hell?
