Vote for Change, Vote against HilaryFiled Under: Political

One of the greatest triumphs of the American Revolution was the abolishment of Monarchy. Unlike most of Europe which still has some sort of figurehead monarch living, America has no such history. Quite the opposite rather. We have a history of opposing such despots. One of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson stated that if a government violates its people, it is the duty of the people to overthrow such a government. While anarchism is simply unrealistic and idealistic, there is however, rational ways to force change in your own government. In this 2008 Democratic Primaries, we have the ability to overthrow the emerging concept of dynastic rule in the Presidency position. Since 1981, either a Bush or Clinton has been in the White House. If we allow Hilary to win the election, that will make it either 32 or 36 years straight of two families in one of the two most powerful positions in the American Government.

What America needs is change. and regardless of cliche-esque usage of that term by the Obama campaign, it is true. America does need change, it needs opposition to this slippery slope of dynastic rule. What we need is someone who has not been immersed in the corruption to Washington DC, but a fresh face. Someone who will at the very least attempt to expose and reform the rampant corruption in Washington. Hilary’s current positions are quite similar to that of Bill Clinton when he ran for President. Let us remember what happened what he actually did (not just promised) once in office. The “Defense of Marriage Act”, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, the further annihilation of health care, opposition to social welfare…in short; total abandonment of the Left.

Hilary Clinton once even said, “there is no Left in American Politics.” This is only partially true. There is no Left in the Neo-Conservative White House that has emerged since the fraudulent and corrupt Richard Nixon. The Clinton’s have abandoned the Left, and it is time that the Left should abandon them. While it is true Obama is not the ideal candidate, we must work with the current situation to push change through the doors of the White House.

Therefore, a vote for Hilary is a vote for the status quo. A vote for Obama is heading in the right direction America, Left.
