All better now

When Kerry Beal, a security guard at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, reported his concerns about his colleagues sleeping on the job, he said he was told to be "a team player." Beal didn't heed that ...

please print my letter to the editor:
Barrack Obama is not a unifier but is a divider. He lays claim to being other than politics as usual and claims that he wants to put an end to that game. But he accepts contributions and a contributor’s list from some of the biggest Washington as usual politicians such as John Kerry and Ted Kennedy. He is one in the same. Birds of the same feather flock together and it is he who has a kinship with them, not Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton has been treated unfairly by the press, who has become enamored with Barrack Obama, and also by many Americans. Hillary Clinton is hounded because she does not show the soft side of her personality with everyone. Perhaps it is because she had the misfortune of being born a woman, who has to do 10 jobs at the same time, and do all of them in total perfection or else they are lambasted. Is it any wonder that Hillary has a tough outer skin? I think that everyone keeps the softer side of themselves for those who are nearest and most dear to them so why isn’t she afforded the same rights? And, is that really a requirement of a President?
I had always felt that I would vote Democratic in the upcoming election but have had to rethink that position. I thought if I didn’t vote Democratic after what this current administration had done that I would be letting my country down. But, it is Barrack Obama and the Americans who have deserted Hillary Clinton, after she has given 40 years to this country, who will run the risk of putting another Republican in office again. Barrack Obama has shown he is a very insulting person and has made this a race about gender. It never should have become one in the first place because there are too many important issues at stake. He claims Hillary cat fights and recently even called her Annie Oakley.
There are 30% of Hillary supporters who will not vote for Obama if he gets the nomination and I now count myself among them. We will vote for John McCain. A sexist candidate trumps the Democratic ideals as far as I am concerned. I cannot in good conscience vote for a man who is no better than what he claims he wants to change. And, I cannot vote for any human being who stereotypes any race, gender or faith. He has poisoned the well far too many times now. If this country worsens because of John McCain being elected President, the Obama supporters, particularly the middle age men and the young voters, have no one to blame except themselves.
Thank you,

Do your research on Hillary before supporting her. While I am certain Obama is no saint he is most certainly the lesser of two evils.
hillary has tied to numerous scandals, lobbyists and lies. She was with Bill when NAFTA was brought into play and was most recently caught trying to work deals with columbia firms with wich Bill has recieved paychecks for.
She is a career politician, looking to further her career rather than serving the people. Why else would a self respecting woman whose husband cheated on her at the same time she was present subject her self to that humility, answer, to ride the coat tails of a sucessful politican. If she is so concerned about people why did she not run for senate in her home state? is it because New York would provide her a better soapbox to stand on?
She was a republican until she married Bill then conviently changed parties, and her so-called 40 yr career is a sham, as a lawyer she put children on the stand and called them liars when they were the victims of crimes as she represented the defense.
And what of her chinese connection? illegal money from china donated to her, and her husbands ties to selling america secrets to the chinese when he was president.
All this aside, do we really want a country were 2 families have been ruling for over two generations? isnt that why america was founded to escape that?
then look at how the canidates raised money, she has been in the red several times, and Obama has continued to set records when Hilliary has neglected medical bills on her own staff as she distorted stories of pregnant women.
I for one have had enough of rich old white men and self serving millionaires telling me they know how to relate to me when they have been born and raised to be a politians. Barrack has shown that he has worked his way up from and though I dont agree with anyone that make a living by staying in politics, he is most certainly the lesser of two evils.
