Go ahead, switch parties over petty issues

After the last eight years of republicans taking tax breaks and creating jobs in other countries instead of here, a war over oil instead of investing in renewable energy, and an economy only driven by an artificial bubble caused by speculation and greed, I can't see how anyone other than the ultra rich can continue to be a republican. If people are ignorant enough to defect from the democratic party and support McCain over something as petty as Hillary losing the nomination, then they will certainly get what they deserve if he wins. If McCain does win, we will continue to live in a country that serves only the interests of the wealthy, renewable energy sources will continue to stall, education will become a insurmountable expense instead of being accessible to everyone, and the middle class will continue to sink towards poverty.

Truth be known there are plenty of people who are certainly

let down that the Dems have blown it with Obama as the candidate. Hillary would

have made a brilliant president and her speech certainly projected that...........Such a shame!!!

I will vote for McCain and this will be a first Republican vote

for me in a loooooooong time.

You're all ridiculous.

Yo. Mr. 61 year old.

Why are all you men so afraid of having a woman president?

And what makes you think a black man is going to be any better?

And what the hell do you know about being a woman.

Sorry I'm not using a bunch of technical political words.

But that might just be because I'm 14 years old, but honestly. Hillary doesn't want anything "owed" to her for losing to Obama. She has more balls then all you men do. She has the balls to still support Obama. So why would she want anything "owed" to her? And if you think Obama can add up to Regan or Kennedy HAHAHAHAHAHAH. All I can do is respond to that with laughter. Oh and you ms. have you forgotten? Have you forgotten that no one would know what the outcome of the war would be before anyone voted for it? And about white water. Everyone makes mistakes. And all of you make a big deal out of the littlest BS. People get cheated on. Just because he has an affair is that supposed to make him a bad person? No. It just means that he made a MISTAKE like everyone does every single day! Oh and all we've been through the PAST SEVERAL YEARS are lies, deception, and narcissistic self-centeredness. That's why we needed something new. Oh and you voting for Mccain. NO WAY. NO HOW. NO MCCAIN.
