Why we need Hillary

OK, it looks like a good day for us primary wise. . . Hillary is still going and is now winning a few.

Folks I never thought I would say this but we need her badly. This November is going to be a critical election during a time of war. Who wins may and probably will make or break where this country goes from here, up or down. Now I don’t like any of them much, I would rather a good businessman like Romney got in but we have what we have to vote for. Now the problem is it looks good for Obama – something else I never thought I would say.

Obama is nothing but trouble for this country. He has the backing of racist like Louis Farrakhan and that alone should be a red flag. What is even worse is he is running on the same platform as our Governor of Mass did and he won. What is the problem with this platform you may ask? Well, the problem is it is a platform of good thoughts, lots of nice speeches and no real plan to actually do anything.

Patrick stormed into the Governors post with great ratings and everyone loved him (well most anyway he got 56% of the vote in a four way race 20% over the second place finisher). His ratings as of 2/27/08 are 47% positive and 45% negative with a margin of 4% so it is about even now.

What happened to him? That part is easy. He got elected by promising sun shine and his famous slogan “together we can” problem is no one asked what it was that we can do. . . He has now been in office for a bit over a year. He has gotten in trouble for spending cash the state don’t have on a new Cadillac for himself (guess the old car was not good enough). We are short on cash and he is still coming up with budgets way over what the state takes in. Even the legislature which is also Democrat is now working against him. His answer to the money problem? Take more money from the people of course. . .. He wants to add tolls to our highways, and put in three casinos to bring in the gambling money. He even spent the casino money in his latest budget. . . too bad they have not been built or even approved by the legislature yet. That is how he does things, it is all dreams, smoke and mirrors but no substance. Most folks are against these casinos, and the legislature is not going for them either. Patrick has been shown to be lying about the jobs they will create, why would we expect the revenue to be any different. We are heading down the path to bankruptcy in this state and he is speeding up.

How does this tie to Obama? Simple again – he is running the same campaign as Patrick did. All about feeling good and smoke and mirrors. He has no plan to turn this country around. He is getting by on getting votes with feel good speeches but no one has asked him for a real plan on how he will do it. They don’t want to. The people want to live the fantasy of Obama, that it will all be well with a wave of his magic wand and the media is asleep at the switch letting him get away with it. We need someone to start pinning him down to how his is going to fix things – enough words, tell me and the voters what it will cost us to fix this and make this utopia you keep talking about. My guess is he doesn’t know and doesn’t care. . . he wants us to ignore the man behind the curtain and keep voting for him. We need to look at his past. . . His church backs the racist Farrakhan, one of his best friends is know to be corrupt and getting investigated. . . what else is he hiding ?

All this leads me back to why we need Hillary. I repeat, I don’t like her or McCain, they are almost the same. But I will admit that they at least have experience in Washington and the back bone to get things done when needed. I may not agree with Hillary's plan, but if I have to live with a Dem in the White House please make it one that at least has the backbone to do what needs to be done. I don’t want a President elected because we like him or because folks will riot in the street if we don’t. I want the president we elect to be the best person for the job, and that person is McCain first, Hillary second, and Obama don’t even make the list. . . .
