You say you are a proud, life-long Democrat. And yet, you could go vote for John McBush in November? I don't think so. You may have been a long-time Democrat, but you apparently have no clue WHY you are (or were) a Democrat.
There is simply NO WAY that you could have agreed with Hillary Clinton ON THE ISSUES, and still believe that John McBush is a better candidate than Barack Obama. With the exception of their INITIAL positions on the war, there is virtually no difference in their positions. And they are certainly FAR, FAR closer to one another on EVERY ISSUE than either of them is to John McBush on ANY ISSUE.
So, if you feel compelled for emotional reasons to go vote for McBush this fall, then do so with our blessing. It is, after all, your right to vote for whomever you please. But don't pretend that it's a reasoned decision, based on the issues. Be forthright enough to admit that you're angry Senator Clinton lost so, UNLIKE SENATOR CLINTON...WHO IS TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, you're going to take your vote and run away.
