I have moved to the center. Thanks to largely the net roots crowd and people on MyDD and Kos and alike. I have never pretended not to be a Hillary supporter. But Obama's message of unity in Washington, HOPE and CHANGE was inspiring. I was holding my nose to vote for Obama. BUT...

You won baby, you have taken yet another voter who was going to come together for Obama - to back away.

Have at it people- I now leave you to your séance, bashing and successful run at making more like me to back away from Obama. Your conduct as his supporters who take Obama over country- has solidified it

Sorry senator but you

Failed in getting your own faithfuls to act on your message
Failed in creating anything remotely HOPEFULL.  

All we have so far are words and no sign of its effectiveness or follow through. In all fairness, you have not had the chance as president to do so but his move on FISA and stance on Pro-choice is self evident of same ole politics.  More evident is that his democratic supporters this year have become a mirror image of the nastiness that republicans have always been known for.  You are not democrats- you are for anything Obama stands for. He is your 11th commandment. If he FAILED in getting his 1st act of creating a different 'kind' of politics through to the heads of his own supporters, I have no hope or am I inspired about his potential as a President. All I hear is same old talking points when politicians say things to tug at the heart strings of the people to get elected.

Regardless, we are going to have a Republican lite version for the next 4 years. Obama is so thankful for Bush being a leader in this--for he paved the way in taking away our rights as citizens and allowed Obama to says "trust me" but I want to keep those policies going. Well you know what? Since you still want to keep his policies ticking, I will bet my house that the Iraq policy of stay the course will remain-- maybe with some small token gesture of 40K troops out from it.  And lets not even talk about the elephant in the room of NO attacks in the last 7 years. This will force Obama to cower to an aggressive domestic policy assault on our constitution rights.  

Republicans that had majorities in both houses with a republican president led to spending and more spending and corruption. Now it's the turn of democrats to do the same.  

So what's the solution for me? Not voting for McCain rather not voting for a presidential candidate. Yup! We speak of others who support Bush or tell them that they are complicit in promoting his failed policies. Well, I will not be complicit in letting My Vote go to any democrat who is hell bent on staying the course Bushy style.

Adios with this last word!

In my book: The only great proven democrat in the last 40 years was/is Bill Clinton. You would not know, as I suspect 90% of you were chasing the next beer bong in High school or university in that decade.

And oh - don't forget to kiss my ass as that Mydd door shuts behind me! These boots are finally made for walking.
