After much back and forth I have decided to vote for Hillary Clinton. I will also caucus for her on March 4th. While I do like her opponent, in the end, I felt that we need someone who has already been through the crucible.
To me, Senator Clinton is a known quantity and has the experience in Washington to make change happen. I think that she is right on most of the issues such as health care, education, the economy, and foreign policy.
In the final analysis, her stance on border security and John McCain's War in Iraq is what has sealed the deal.
I do not believe that any other candidate has a grasp of the political minefields that await them on border security. I believe that she can guide our country to a fair and equitable solution on the border fence. As it stands now, the citizens of this country have no voice with regards to how the fence will be constructed. Those without money will suffer while the uber-wealthy will be unaffected. If things do not change, John Edwards' belief that there are two America's will have an unintended national monument.
On Bush's War in Iraq, I think that she has the credibility to end the failed and bloody Republican doctrine of pre-emption. I think that she can guide our country back from the brink of international pariah to a full fledged and honorable member of the global community.
There are some who may scoff at my choice, but I am tired of not having a president that I can be proud of. I want change. I need change. I have a strong feeling that she can deliver change.
I made my choice for Clinton but not against Obama. I look forward working with his supporters in the general election. Together, we can finally end the Republican nightmare. I hope you will consider my posting and join me in voting for and caucusing for Hillary Clinton.
