I feel the last seven years has brought my country to its knees in many ways--I'll spare you the details as they are too numerous to list

First, I'm a registered Republican but that's never stopped me from voting for who I want. You know, I never voted for Bill Clinton, and I thought he'd be horrible but after he was out of office, I had to admit the country did well under him. BTW, I voted for Perot. *g*
I'm not naive enough to think any politician will honor all their promises and if McCain does win he office, I'm hoping a democratic congress will hobble any further war plans he has.
I'm in California. We have a governor who ran on change. He got in office, and so totally bullied and disrespected the Democrats that he totally deserved the public humiliation he finally got. And now? He says he was naive about the problems and he was wrong, that the things he was trying to do was impossible. Maybe that's the straw that broke the camel's back for me, made me extremely sensitive to charismatic people who preach change. I want details. People are so willing to buy a bill of goods if it is what they want to hear. What they need to hear. This country knows that if things don't change, there will be terrible times ahead. Of course we want change.
It's just Obama is being way too slick with the propaganda and has set off my radar. I didn't expect that from him and I liked him more before he started in with this.
I'm a registered Democrat, but the only time I've ever voted straight ticket was when the Republican hypocrites in Congress tried to impeach Clinton. I was so disgusted, I refused to give any Republicans a vote -- and I never voted for Clinton, either. *g* I do think he did a good job, though, and in 2000 when all the election shit was dragging out, I wanted him to stay in office an extra term because I didn't want either Gore or the Shrub. *snort*
I don't know what's happened with Obama. I've liked him since before the election and he's always seemed to be able to keep his head above the political muck. But then, with the way the Clintons have been attacking him, I'm surprised he's waited so long to go on the offensive.
I'd still rather have had Bayh as Presidential candidate with Obama as his VP so he could get some more experience under his belt, but unfortunately as it currently stands, if I want to vote Democrat, it needs to be Obama, because I will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton. *sigh*
