Yes We Can

This primary season has been an exciting, but depressing one at the same time. Barack Obama promising the change so many Americans desperately need. Hillary Clinton posing the possibility of being the first woman president in the history of our nation. John McCain offering us a glimpse in to how a real American Hero would attempt to lead our country. Not to mention Mike Huckabees unforgettable bass solo and Chuck Norris sponsorship, and Bill Richardsons unlikely but compelling search to be our first Hispanic president.
Man politics are looking like the next great American pastime, who would have guessed it?! People are showing interest, they're paying attention, showing support, and sharing their ideas about candidates. This is before a Democratic candidate has been chosen! That however is our main problem at the moment. The Democratic Party is slowly but surely splitting apart at the seems. Baracks supporters are so passionate about him while Hillary’s feel the same way about her that it will be hard for them to make amends when one of them eventually gets the candidacy.
At least that is what mainstream media likes to make us think. I truly believe that when all is said and done whoever the candidate is will rally the troops (not literally of course) and show the real reason Democrats are in this race. To take the White House back, not bicker! To take our country back, not condemn. To lead us in to a future that is filled with hope and possibility, not fear and war. While I am supporting Barack Obama for President, if by some outlandish chance Hillary takes the candidacy I am not going to let that skew my view on the realities facing us.
A Democrat needs to take office come January 2009. While I like alot of what John McCain has to say and who he is, I also disagree with him on alot. However that is not why I think a Democrat should take office, the reason why is plain and simple, we need dramatic change in Washington, and it is obvious Barack represents that. At the same time though while alot of Hillary nay sayers point out her ties to Washington and old politics as negatives, I do truly believe she has our best interest as a nation in mind more so than any Republican whose mind is always on the special interests and war.
A Democrat must be elected president this year, if not there is a very good chance this country will be unrecognizable in 8 years. With the dramatic decline in civil liberties and Constitutional Rights the Bush Administration has implemented it is only a matter of time before a future President truly becomes a Dictator. So instead of letting the Democratic party split itself in two, let's remember who the real enemy is, The Republicans!

Update: April 9th 9:03 AM
I just got over a very passionate debate over who should be president and have decided it is Obama or nothing. I am not voting for Clinton if she is the Democratic candidate, mostly because of her exaggerative, lying practices over the past two weeks and her politics of fear and negativity. She may be able to enact change and positive circumstances in the country, but that means nothing if she gets the presidency based on lies and deceitfulness. Obama or nothing!
