HILLARY THREATENING SUPER-DELEGATES

If there was any doubt that Clinton hasn't learned a thing from alienating natural allies in the health care debacle, I hope this settles it.

As Newsweek reports, if Hillary gets the nomination, she will seek revenge from those that defected from her campaign.

Our tough-as-nails, ready from Day 1, even-tempered, emotionally stable, 3AM President on call, Hillary Clinton raging, resentful, revengeful, punishing, vindictive, spiteful, mean-spirited threatening defecting super delegates and members of Congress with political obliteration? Will she bake them cookies on their way out?

Why does this surprise anyone? Hillary Clinton hasn't changed her INNER CORE Values since the 1960's! She hasn't learned and grew: she strategized.....for 40 years....for this ONE Chance to be President.

NOTHING will stand in her way. She is absolutely convinced this is her DESTINY. And because Hell has no Fury like a Hillary scorned.

Iowa: A Victory for "Anybody but Hillary" !

Anyone reading the title of this blog can pretty quickly pick up the fact I don't like (and in-fact am terrified of) a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

So it was not without some trepidation I picked up my morning paper. First relief: Omaba had won (don't like his policies, but he's the best chance of beating Hillary on the Democrat side). And then came the icing on the cake: Hillary didn't win, she didn't even come in second. SHE CAME IN THIRD!

Of course the Clinton camp is doing everything they can, which isn't much, to downplay the loss. And they're back on message, if not a little harsher: “We can’t have false hopes,” Hillary told Reuters. “We’ve got to have a person who can walk into that Oval office on day one and start doing the hard work that it takes to deliver change.”

So now Obama is a "false hope". Gee Hillary, that's not a very nice thing to say. I thought we were running a positive campaign?

And notice how she dropped the words "deliver change" into her message. Now she's the policy wonk who knows the White House like the back of her hand, but can "deliver change". She's talking out of both sides of her mouth again....somethings never change.

And I'm still waiting to hear why exactly she thinks she can walk into the Oval Office on Day 1 and start work. Granted, she won't need a tour or have to ask where the bathrooms are. She also knows exactly where in the White House bedroom the congressionally "requested" papers which had been missing for years mysteriously just "showed up" one day?

Other than being a figure-head first lady with visions of Universal Health Care dancing through her head, how is she the only one ready for Day 1? John Edwards is a Senator too and has more experience in Congress than Hillary. Why can't he take a 5 minute tour and get down to work?

And what if the Bush people vandalized the White House the way the Clinton's did when they left...taking keys off of keyboards, disconnecting phones, etc. That would put a crimp in Day 1.

On the Republican side, a huge loss for Romney considering the time and money he spent in Iowa, a big win for Huckabee, who for some reason, seems capable to me of doing a Republican version of Howard Dean on himself and goodbye Rudy.

But to me, the big (and predictably way under-reported) story was that Ron Paul got 10% of the votes. In contrast, Rudy only got 3%. Thompson and McCain only received 13% or 3% more than Ron Paul. And aside from what he paid for, Paul received little if any media attention at all. Not a bad showing at all, considering. And while Fox is still banning Paul from their Presidential Debate, ABC news has just announced Paul will be included in theirs. Interesting.

New Hampshire is next and that will be a lot more telling than Iowa. They're an independent bunch up there (did you know New Hampshire has no State or Sales taxes?). And while Iowa was a caucus, New Hampshire will be the first true primary of 2008.

Will the Iowa results hold? Will Romney make a comeback? Will Hillary be able to come across as the policy wonk of change? We'll know in less than a week.

As to my preference, it is, as always, Anyone But Hillary in 2008!

Sincerely, Mr. Unloadingzone

Alternatives to Hillary: If We Don't Vote for Hillary, who SHOULD we Vote For?

This blog is named Anyone But Hillary in 2008. It's named that for a reason: I am absolutely convinced that Hillary Clinton is motivated purely by personal ambition; that she has an agenda going back to the 1960's that would end America as we know it. She can sound tough, but if (when) another 9/11 hits, she is not the one I want nor do I feel is capable of calling the shots. And that's just one issue. Here being for, and then against, most major issues makes her had to quantify and reinforces my position that she will say and do anything to become President. In a nutshell, I think she's a liberal, globalist, ideologue who will say anything and do anything to become President. I just don't trust her and her record has given me no reason to start trusting her now.

That being said, "Anyone" But Hillary in 2008 is a little simplistic. The American people are going to elect "Someone" President of the United States in 2008. Other than Hillary we have a mixed bag to choose from and some new themes to look at.

The candidates range from professional, business as usual politicians to some more unique characters. In terms of themes, the most blatant is Big Government versus Small Government, because the candidate's position on this theme will reflect in their position on every other issue before us.

At the one end you have Hillary Clinton: Big Government, more government interference in your everyday lives, redistribution of wealth, subordinating our Nation Interests to the United Nations.........

On the other end you have Ron Paul (DON'T make the mistake of writing him off). He is for substantially smaller Government, less government involvement in our lives, an end to America being the policeman of the planet.........

And in between, we have a plethora of candidates who lean one way or the other to varying degrees on one issue here, another issue there.

SOMEWHERE in this group there must be someone worth voting FOR, not simply against Hillary (as vital as that is). My next series of posts is going to compare different candidates against Hillary to try and determine, Republican or Democrat, who is the best Presidential choice for 2008.

I freely admit it is VERY early to be doing this and so-called "front-runner" status is not going to come into play that much for obvious reasons. You need only look to the Republicans where Rudy Guiliani was "destined" to be the GOP candidate.....and suddenly is ranked number three behind Mitt Romney and New Front runner Mike Huckabee. At least until next week.

On the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton was the "clear" front runner by 20 to 30% and more over everyone. Now the pollsters are saying it's neck and neck between Hillary and Barack Obama in New Hampshire. At least until next week.

Not all issues will be covered in each post; as with all my blogs, it's what interests me that's important. I will be relying primarily on what each candidate has had to say versus what editorial writers extrapolate from that. These posts will be fact based as much as it's possible to be fact based when discussing politicians in general. The only editorializing will come from me and I will try to keep that to a minimum.....but knowing myself, it will be impossible NOT to comment on some of the candidates positions, Republican and Democrat alike.

In the interests of perspective and full disclosure, I will tell you that I'm a political agnostic now. I used to be a Republican, but if the scandals, missteps, and outright mismanagement of the Republican Congress starting 1n 1993 were the nails in the coffin, George W. Bush has been the hammer that banged them in. In fact, I wrote an article on my other blog, The Unloading Zone, entitled "A (until recently) Republican is forced to ask "When did George W. Bush Go Insane?"

The George W. Bush I knew as the Great Uniter of Texas is no where to be seen and hasn't been since 9/11. I honestly think the man may have lost his mind.

So I go into this inherently distrusting ALL the candidates....there will be no party favoritism here. As the weeks go by, I hope you find these articles informative and insightful. If you do or don't, please feel free to comment. For the purposes of this series, I will lift my ban on pro-Hillary posts (although I may comment back to you). All comments will be approved.

I'll be alternating between Democrat and Republican candidates. Because he interests me the most at this point, the first article in this series will be a comparison of Hillary to Barack Obama. Stay tuned................

FALL-OUT FROM: Could I have been WRONG about Ron Paul

Yesterday, I wrote a little post on how I may have been wrong in dismissing and outright criticising Ron Paul as a viable Republican candidate and Presidential contender. It was entitled "Could I Have Been WRONG about Ron Paul?"

I stressed "might" and that I was just beginning to really dig into Dr. Paul's positions, but at a gut level, I just LIKED him.

I have two humble little blogs which I use as an outlet to discuss things I like, things I dislike, and to generally blow off stress. I have a lot of ads on my blogs and to date I've earned $1. I put them up more as decoration than anything else.

I never envisioned them drawing any type of mass response nor was it ever my intent. Blogging was a hobby I enjoyed and as I view the good and the bad in the world to today, it gave me some satisfaction that somewhere on Google, at least my opinions were at least present.

Much to my shock and amazement, This article receive over 7400 Page Views, over 800 "diggs" at DIGG.com, and over 232 comments at DIGG.com. This morning, I found an additional 35 comments waiting for posting on Anyone But Hillary in 2008!!!

That sets an all-time record for either of my blogs! My post was also "buried" at DIGG.com meaning more people who read it gave Ron Paul (and me) a thumbs down than the 800+ who gave it a thumbs up.

It just goes to show you what a polarizing figure Ron Paul has become and why I now find him "interesting". I'll keep looking into him and you will see more posts about him, but rest assured, I am no "shill" for Ron Paul, as some on DIGG asserted.I think my article makes that clear to all but the most thick-headed as well as the fact I have been dismissive of Ron Paul in the past. I even wrote a post "Now is NOT the time for Ron Paul" which got me criticism from the pro-Ron Paul people....but NOTHING like what I got with this post from the anti-Ron Paul crowd.

And in reading all the comments and comments to other pro-Ron Paul posts, I discovered something else. Basically two groups of people are commenting (and voting): those who support Ron Paul and those that are AFRAID of Ron Paul.

Another plus for the Ron Paul camp: fear is generally a synonym for ignorance (except when it comes to Hillary).

And thank you Ron Paul supporters for your kindness and suggestions on where to look for research. I was tempted to delete one comment that used the f-word a couple of times, but I believe in free speech, even when it makes a point in a vulgar way.

You'll see more posts from me on Dr. Paul in the future. I'm not going to agree with everything he says, but he's doing a good job of winning me over! By the way, there the heck did you come up with a blimp? I thought Blimps R Us went out of business years ago. :-)

I enjoy good, reasoned, civil conversation. I certainly got that and a lot more yesterday! And remember, vote for ANYONE (but maybe give Ron Paul a real hard look) BUT HILLARY in 2008!

Could I have been WRONG about Ron Paul?

You've probably noticed a lack of posts on this blog compared to my other blog, The Unloading Zone. It's not because I don't have the time; it's just that this campaign to date has been so lackluster, so scripted, so.......boring.

I write about what interests me and so far, very little has interested me in the 2008 Presidential Race. I anticipated a little heat after the first of the year and, after all, the election is about 11 months away. There will be plenty to write about later on. Or so I thought.

One thing I have done is been rather dismissive of Dr. Ron Paul, Republican/Libertarian from Texas. Not only on this blog, but especially in the comments section on Digg.com which these days seems nothing more than a Gen X platform for Dr. Paul.

I saw him as a latter-day Ross Perot; a spoiler who would pull enough Republican votes to hand the White House to Hillary. And I am SOLIDLY against anything or anyone who could hand her the Presidency. My plan: Texas has open primaries so I would vote (for the first time in my life) as a Democrat, pick Obama or whomever else was the strongest candidate next to Hillary, and then vote for the Republican, whomever THAT is in the general election. Holding my nose while I vote in the general election won't be enough: I planned on wearing a gas mask.

So I'm surfing the political news looking for something to write about this morning. Do I REALLY want to get into the whole "whose the best Christian" thing with Huckabee and Romney? Has Rudy gotten into ANOTHER scandal? Is Mike Huckabee's "lets isolate AIDS patients" position political suicide, a ticket to the White House, or just a pathetic bid for airtime? I'm interested......NOT. In fact, none of the Republican front-runners excite me in the least or even interest me.

On the Democrat side, Obama, despite his appeal to me as a Hillary-Killer, is really just a clone of her on Universal Healthcare and Education. Nothing exciting to talk about there. And Hillary hasn't done anything shocking enough to justify a post the past few days. And who can even remember who the other Democrats are. I guess I'll go back to my other blog where I am having some fun.

And then I noticed someone (predictably on DIGG) had posted something about a Newsweek interview video with Ron Paul on the Second Amendment. That caught my eye. I am a fervent supporter of the Constitution and the Second Amendment has been trampled on more than the other nine. I also like guns. I own guns. I carry a gun when I go out. (yes, I have a concealed handgun license). So, despite my fatigue with the Ron DIGG Paul crowd, I decided to watch the video. Then I watched the other two videos there: one on Israel and it's right to exist; the other on getting rid of the IRS. And you know what? I found myself LIKING Ron Paul!

It wasn't the positions he took, per se.....these were short videos. I liked how he handled himself. I liked the confidence in his positions he exhibited. I liked his honesty. I particularly liked the way he handled the reporter when he tried to "trap" Dr. Paul. No blustering, no double-speak. He just considered for a second and gave an answer. He could have obfuscated, he could have bobbed and weaved, but he didn't. And he's the first politician I've seen since Ronald Reagan who seemed very comfortable with himself.

Obama "quit" smoking after criticism from his handlers. If Dr. Paul smoked (I don't believe he does), he would have lit up a cigarette on camera, acknowledged the health hazards, and basically said "this is who I am". I'll say it again, I found myself LIKING Ron Paul.

But liking him and seeing him elected are too different things. I originally stopped looking at his positions too closely after I heard he wanted to abolish the IRS and reduce the size of government by 50%. This was just another Libertarian in Republican clothes, I thought. Politicians come and go but bureaucracies are forever.

I went back to Dr. Paul's website this morning and REALLY read his positions, not just the little teaser paragraphs that end with a hyperlink to "details". Do I think he's going to be able to reduce the size of government by 50%? No, the Congress and the bureaucrats won't let that happen. But I found myself agreeing with him more than I disagreed. I found his positions more plausible than the soundbites of them would indicate. And I just liked the guy!

I'm not coming out with an endorsement based on insomnia and web surfing, but I am going to read more about Ron Paul and I am going stop dumping on him as a spoiler. If he can get enough airtime and enough debate time, (I can't believe I'm going to say this) he MAY BE ELECTABLE, even against Hillary!

So as a cynical baby boomer who has had his heart broken too many times by the Republicans, I will say that I now find Dr. Paul "interesting" and plan to do a lot more research on him and his positions. Before the DIGG servers explode, let me say that I am not changing the name of my blog: Defeating Hillary Clinton is critical to the survival of America, I truly believe that. She is the antithesis of Ron Paul. Under Hillary, we would just be a client state of the United Nations.
But I like Ron Paul and I'm going to keep up on him.

And who knows, I have two spaces on my lawn I reserve for political signs. One is going to Maher Maso, who is running for Mayor of Frisco, TX (like anyone outside of Frisco cares). But the other spot doesn't have a name on it. Wouldn't it be something if a Ron Paul for President sign ended up there........

Obama at the Apollo

Mr. Obama recently made a speech at the famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, NYC. He is a compelling speaker and it will be interesting to see him go head to head against Hillary. He had some good stuff to say. He talked about a new direction for the country, not just a change in policy (THAT was directed right at Hillary). But he also touted Universal Health Care, more money for K-12 education, more money for colleges, and more money for social programs. He even talked about some tax cuts. What he didn't talk about is where all this money is coming from.

But I'll worry about that in the general election. For the primary, right now it's between him and Hillary and you KNOW I'll vote for ANYONE but Hillary!

His speech was long on vision and short on specifics, but that was appropriate for the occasion. The video runs about 22 minutes long. If you want to see and hear him for yourself, click HERE.

Why Stop with Driver's Licenses for Illegals, Hillary?

Hillary Clinton, after stumbling through the last Democratic Debate, has put her foot in it again. To quote Hillary, "I broadly support what Governors like Elliot Spitzer are trying to do" regarding giving Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens.

What about auto insurance Hillary? Most illegals can't afford it, especially in your "home" state of New York. Should the state give them insurance too or do you "broadly support" allowing illegals to drive without insurance? You could just raise taxes on American Citizens to pay for it or allow the insurance companies to double their rates.

Why stop with Drivers Licenses, Hillary? Why not "broadly support" giving them passports too? And how about voter registration cards?

And this is supposed to be the smartest woman in America?????

What does "broadly support" mean, anyway? Does that mean that all illegal aliens should get drivers licenses or that she only supports the "concept" of illegals getting drivers licenses? What would "narrowly support" mean? Doesn't it all boil down to the same thing: Hillary Clinton Supports Giving Drivers Licenses to Illegal Aliens?

Why doesn't Hillary "broadly support" giving illegal aliens one-way plane fare back to their own countries? Why, in her 8 years in the Senate, has she never given more than lip service to fighting illegal immigration?

What Hillary Clinton is demonstrating is that she is an ivory-tower policy wonk totally out of touch with the American people. That doesn't bother HER, because, if elected President, it's what HILLARY WANTS, not what the American people want or even what's best for America.

She has a plan for this country and she's going to implement it regardless of what anyone thinks....that's if she can keep her foot out of her mouth long enough. And if the American people are patient enough to tolerate all her flip-flops, policy changes, do what I say, not what I do, and "lets stop all this election nonsense and just make me President, already!" attitude.

Hillary is still dangerous, but of late she is demonstrating she is not quite as bright as she thought when it comes to being "the Candidate". She's realizing that it was easier to pull Bill Clinton's strings than it is to be out front and center. It's really hard when the camera's are rolling and you get hit with tough questions, isn't it Hillary?

Now if only the Republicans can come up with a credible candidate to beat her (Ron Paul need not apply) and/or Mr. Obama can get his act together (that Saturday Night Live stunt was a good first step), then we could finally relegate Hillary to the Ted Kennedy Club. There she could spend the rest of her working life in the Senate, enjoy all the privileges that come with it, and basically be a non-factor for the rest of her life in our lives. We should be so lucky.

Hillary Endorsed by Former Mexican President Fox!

Former Mexican President Fox, travelling on his US book tour, stated that it's time for a woman to be elected President of the United States to help America "regain its compassionate side". Since Hillary Clinton is the only woman currently running for President, this is a de facto endorsement of Mrs. Clinton.

Why should anyone be surprised since Hillary supports "fair" immigration reform (this means legalize the Illegal Aliens already here and let more in).

Fox was full of suggestions, demands, advice and criticism of America during his many interviews. He poked fun at President Bush's "grade-school-level Spanish", conveniently forgetting that the overwhelming majority of Hispanic Illegal Aliens don't even speak English. It's America's responsibility to make store signs, forms, automated phone systems, and education bilingual to accommodate the Illegal Mexican invaders.

"The United States is denying it's immigrant soul" he laments and then holds up Irving, Texas, a town actually enforcing American Immigration Law, as an example. "What is happening in Irving, Texas, is disturbing, deeply troubling" he declared. "It shows that the anti-immigrant mood that I confronted in the U.S. Congress has now reached the public at large."

You've got it backwards, Mr. Fox: the anti-ILLEGAL immigrant mood of the majority of Americans has finally reached a point where even Congress has to acknowledge it. That doesn't mean Congress is DOING anything about it; they're happy to leave that responsibility (which is theirs) to State and Local governments for now. Meanwhile, State and Local governments are frustrated because when they do try to implement THE LAW, activist liberal Judges rule against them every time. Congress needs to step up to the immigration reform table by first making sure the laws we have BARRING Illegal Immigration withstand these court decisions while ENFORCING existing laws.

This is what Mr. Fox is afraid of and why he, by implication, endorsed liberal globalist Hillary Clinton. He knows President Hillary would veto any legislation that interfered with the "rights" of Illegal Aliens.

I shook my head in amazement when yesterday, Irving Mayor Herbert Gears actually had to DEFEND the actions of the Irving government and police. "We're simply attending to our local responsibility to involve any measure available to improve the quality of life for all people that live in our city, including immigrants." It's safe to say he was referring to Legal Immigrants in that statement.

Mr. Fox made a number of other statements as a former head of state visiting and referring to the United States that are just jaw-dropping. Here's a sample and what SHOULD be the American Government's response to each:

Fox: "Many of the people from my hometown of San Cristobal are people I grew up with; honest hardworking men I played marbles with as kids, and who later had to migrate to North Dallas, Texas. Of course it hurts when these cities deny the people you grew up with and {treat them} like criminals."

Mr. Unloadingzone: If they were so honest and hardworking, why did they HAVE to ILLEGALLY migrate to North Dallas, Texas? Isn't it because Mexico has failed for decades in raising up it's poor and, instead of taking care of them, Mexico is ENCOURAGING the poor to invade America for social services, medical care, jobs, and free education? Isn't it true that your answer to poverty and inequality in Mexico is to EXPORT the problem to the USA? As to treating them like criminals, Mr. Fox, THEY ARE CRIMINALS! They reside in the United States Illegally which is a CRIME. Be my guest: take them all back to Mexico with you and treat them like kings if you like, but stop giving them handbooks on how to sneak across the US border!

Mr. Fox: feels his book is necessary to remind the US citizens of "its rich immigrant soul, its heritage that is now threatened by fear, xenophobia."

Mr. Unloadingzone: The people your ILLEGAL invaders need to fear the most are the Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens who prey on (by YOUR definition, not mine) law-abiding Illegal Aliens knowing the victims won't go to the police." YOUR criminal gangs are taking over California, areas of Texas and Arizona, and spreading throughout the US. Our "rich immigrant soul" applied to LEGAL immigrants, like my grandparents, who went through Ellis Island, entered America legally, had a REAL DESIRE to BE Americans, and blended into the melting pot which once made a unique American culture. This is 2007, not 1897. We can't afford your tired, your poor, your non-assimilating "America is a place to live, not a Country to call home" sub-class. We need nurses from the Philippines and doctors and computer engineers from Eastern Europe and India. We need educated professionals from Japan and a host of other countries who see America as an Opportunity to PARTICIPATE in, not to burden down and exploit.

Mr. Fox also greeted ILLEGAL Alien cooks and busboys at a Manhattan hotel. Thanks for the slap in face and flaunting of OUR laws, Mr. Fox! And why weren't these self-admitted ILLEGAL ALIENS immediately arrested and deported? How can we expect Mr. Fox and others to respect our laws if OUR OWN GOVERNMENT won't enforce them??

Mr. Fox also applauded the actions of Mexican Consul Enrique Hubbard Urrea when he warned (Illegal) immigrants from his country to avoid Irving, TX. He went on to strongly endorse the policy of Felipe Calderon, the current President of Mexico, that the 47 or so Mexican Consulates on US soil should be much more aggressive in defending the rights of Mexican migrants.

Mr. Unloadingzone: First of all, Mr. Fox, we are not talking about "migrants", "immigrants" or "residents".....we are talking about ILLEGAL ALIENS: people who entered this country Illegally and have no legal "right" to be here. At least be accurate in your terms. And of COURSE you support them: they wire HOME to Mexico somewhere in the area of $60 Billion a year, they don't cost you a dime to educate, feed, cloth, or provide medical care for, and are conveniently out of your hair. They are forcing YOUR culture on US while, ironically, the biggest uproar in Mexico right now is that Taco Bell opened up some restaurants in Mexico which will corrupt MEXICAN culture!

But back to the Hillary Clinton for President endorsement. During a rambling diatribe about his grandfather, Mr. Fox concluded with the statement: "That says something about the universality of immigration."

Universality. Globalism. Global Community. Socialism. America Second. World Government. Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton.

So in the Primaries and in the General Election, choose the lesser of the evils: Vote for ANYONE BUT HILLARY in 2008. Your immediate future depends on it.

Also for your reading pleasure on the plane ride home, Mr. Fox (and don't let the door hit you on the way out!):

Mr Obama, Wake Up and Smell the Gunpowder!

I'm clinging to memories of Howard Dean, the last Democrat front-runner who imploded in the end to avoid nightmares over candidate Clinton. But Mr. Obama, your ill-run campaign and ill-advised handling of the Iraq War vote is reflecting in the polls and making it harder to hold the demons away in my sleep

Obama was my big hope: young, energetic and possessing an almost Kennedy-like charm. He's well-spoken, polite....an "acceptable" black American for Democrats who would love to have the first black President be from their party.

But the blush is starting to come off the rose. He alienated twenty million + American cigarette smokers when he instantly caved to criticism of his habit and quit (more likely, he's now a closet-smoker). His recent decision to remove and not wear the American Flag lapel pin to protest the war is extreme and a slap in the face of pretty much every (legal) American, especially Veterans. He is going way to far in highlighting his "no" vote against the war in Iraq. If he thought this was going to make Hillary look like a flip-flopper and hurt her campaign, he was and is wrong.

Let me let you in on a little secret, Mr. Obama: Hillary was right for supporting the war AT THAT TIME. So was George Bush and so was I and millions of other Americans.

Monday morning quarterbacking is easy: think back to that time. We were living in a post-9/11 world. A madman who had used chemical weapons on his own people was yelling at the top of his lungs to anyone who would listen that he was creating more...and now biological and nuclear weapons too. Imagine you're George Bush. You call the CIA: what's the intel? The CIA replies "uh, we don't have any except maybe some yellow-cake uranium sales and satellite photos that kind of look like mobile bio labs. But we just don't have any Muslim agents in Iraq (or pretty much at all).

Meanwhile, Saddam is getting more aggressive in pushing the no-fly zone limits and actually shooting at our aircraft. And all the while, he keeps yelling "I'm making weapons of mass destruction"! Pre-9/11 there may have been more time for intel gathering but post 9/11? Do you RISK America that Saddam may be telling the TRUTH? The answer for George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Me, and a lot of other people was a resounding NO, Don't Risk It!!!"

So we attacked Iraq, won, and couldn't find the WMD's. There are stories of long truck convoys to Syria in the weeks prior to the attack so who knows. Personally, I hope that's garbage: the thought of Syria with a huge stash of WMD's doesn't make me sleep any easier either.

George Bush and those who voted to support him were right to attack Iraq. But where George Bush completely and utterly failed was in the aftermath of the war.

Iraq is not Germany or Japan (who we occupied for many years after WWII). Take away the oil, and most Middle East nations are living in the 14th century. Clan, Tribe, Family Honor....all of these mean more than a created nation called "Iraq". What's Democracy? They have no understanding of the concept. They NEED a (hopefully benevolent) dictator. WE needed to install a later-day Douglas MacArthur to be Supreme Leader of Iraq......until they could be educated and weaned onto democracy. But with the Iraqi Army foolishly disbanded; with the Iraqi Sunni government bureaucracy foolishly dismissed, the country quickly fell into chaos. Shites and Sunnis who had lived side by side for years because Saddam told them to began killing each other and blowing up each other's mosques. They would blow up their own power plants and then complain to CNN that they had no electricity. George Bush won the war and then lost the "peace".

Like Hillary, I (God, it pains me to see those three words next to each other) supported the war and now want out. How we get out is where we differ (that feels better) with Hillary wanting to cut and run, leaving some "advisers" while I feel the only viable solution is to partition Iraq into Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd regions with a weak central government whose only real job is to ensure each regions shares equally in the oil revenues so they won't start killing each other over it.

But I'm not running for President, Mr. Obama: you are. And if you continue to disrespect the American flag and throw your "I voted against the war and you're a flip-flopper" at Hillary in a debate, she will mop the floor with you. Then she'll start comparing her experience in Government to yours (conveniently forgetting her husband was only the Governor of a back-water state), you'll start fumbling for words, and it's all over.

Remember, Hillary has been preparing her entire life for this chance to be President of the United States. You're just a guy who was in the right place at the right time.

I REALLY hope your campaign cleans up it's act and closes the gap between you and Hillary in the polls. My home state of Texas has open primaries and for the first time in my life, I'll be voting in the Democrat primary. If you're ahead of Hillary in the polls or the second place challenger, I'll be voting for you. Otherwise, I'll voting for whomever is. But in the primaries and in the general election, I'll tell you exactly who I'm voting for: ANYONE BUT HILLARY!!!!!!!!
