After observing the gross chauvinism towards Hillary Clinton, whom I supported, I’m pretty jaded about my country. Are we too sexist to have women leaders? Hasn’t history proved that when women rule that peace and the arts flourish? (research women rulers such as Queen Elizabeth the first, Hepchepsut and many others. HIStory lies and glorifies war mongers, conquers and killers, while ignoring the contributions made by women and minorities. We now have Obama in office… yea. He achieved what a million, Million Man marches could not and spared us a shameful race war. However, despite his, ” eloquent speaking ability”, he was unable to negotiate our country out of wars and occupations and has increased our debt. We need a president who can find the humor in tragedy. A president who speaks for the common people, and shares our views and values. I’m tired of being hated for being part of a war mongering country or occupier. As a first generation American, a woman (women are not the minority here), a brilliant speaker and someone who has no doubt suffered the chauvinism, homophobia, Annihilist zealots, racism and government supported hatred, (a game of conquer and divide) that IS the American experience. I’m sure that many of us would agree that we need someone who has the guts to speak out against hatred and not continue to back it (no matter how much money is on the table). Someone who represents us and can be a peace maker with other countries. Isn’t that what a leader is for? Margaret Cho is the best choice for our future. Yes, she IS a celebrity, but she is a celebrity whom many find sanity amongst the calamity.

MARGARET CHO FOR PRESIDENT!

Or Hillary who voted for the Iraq war. ( WTF?! )

The thing that gets me is that people whose opinions I respect, friends of mine who live across the country, black, white, male, female, asian, gay, straight, middle-eastern, latino, whatever ridiculous generalization you can make–all seem to be coming down on the Obama side of the debate.

I can’t say that any of my friends–or any celebrities/pundits/writers that I respect–are strongly for Clinton. This of course doesn’t mean that she won’t win, but it is interesting to me that my entire circle of friends/acquaintances/people I’m a fan of are all supporting the same candidate that I am.

However, I think it’s truly sad that this has descended into race and gender-baiting before we even get into it with whomever the eventual Republican nominee is.

I cannot decide who to vote for. I may let all of you decide and I’ll wait for the big election, where of course I will vote for Clinton or Obama. I just don’t think Obama can/will bring about that much change, after all, he is a politician.

I’m seeing more and more people call for a merge between the two. If they both say they want to unite the country, well then they should shut up and put out and unite themselves.

To make this an IRON-CLAD solid clinch for the presidency, Obama and Clinton need to join forces and have one be the other’s VP. The way the race stands, I can’t decide right now. If they joined, I could FINALLY decide. There’s so much I like about both and it has nothing to do with their race or gender, I agree.

And all the stupid people WILL PROBABLY vote for Fuckabee, *ahem* Huckabee. That’s what makes this election scary is, that there’s still a chance of another George Bush type in office next year.

Obama and Clinton… MORPH! Like the Power Rangers, MORPH!!!
