Obama Wins The Nomination!Filed Under: Political
Since my previous blog about this issue, much has changed. Hilary up to that point was the leading candidate, and was the presumptive nominee, everyone had assumed it as a fact of life. Then the people began to vote and Obama’s campaign completely and utterly crushed Clinton’s. Obama’s campaign did this without underhanded politics, heavy corruption, lies or fear tactics. They did it despite Obama’s crazy pastor who is an absolute lunatic, and the lies spread by the Clinton campaign and major media. This is something praiseworthy, this is point in time that true Americans can be proud of.
Yes, Obama isn’t the perfect candidate, but when will there be a perfect candidate? The concept of a “lesser evil” is a horrible basis for choosing the next leader, but in this case, Obama is not really an “evil.” His level of transparency and truth throughout his run for the nomination has been unprecedented from a realistic potential nominee. There is hardly an argument against Obama that doesn’t start without ad-hominem attacks on him or those who are related to him in some way. The argument against Obama thus becomes less about Obama and more about policy. This is a considerable shift in the political discourse of Modern America. He may not be perfect, but to consider Obama an “evil” is delusional and on a level of stupidity that is unmatched. It is thus the situation, that Obama will be the first candidate in an extremely long time, that no major compromises will be needed to support him.
The previous blog on the Democratic Primaries was titled, “Vote for Change, Vote against Hilary.” It is with great joy that the next blog that discusses the Presidential Elections will be titled, “Vote for Change, Vote for Obama.”
