without a doubt, Barack Obama is the symbol of change in our country, whether he wins or not. He is the head of a movement, a revolution that will be televised, that if sustained will shake up the status quo like nothing before. Independents, who have been growing in number nationally as people are more disillusioned with the parties, Washington insiders and corporate interests, are pushing the form and scope of the agenda this time. The power that has held this country through most of its modern history is losing strength to another modern system - the Internet. This powerful tool raises funds, reaches people at a cheaper cost than conventional media, and spreads the message (and receives the opinions) to and of the masses like nothing before. It is the propeller of this new power generation revolution.
and Mike Hukabee represents change. Change from how the Republicans vote, no longer limited to the ideologies of Reagan, Bush, or the Party's culture war. Yes, you can indeed vote for a social conservative that won't protect the rich, that will keep taxes and spending low without you suffering for it, who can protect social rights issues without being a demagogue (well we hope). Who can be a Republican without being a racist (he was one of very few Republicans who participated in the CBC/Fox Debate at predominantly-black Morgan State University in September, and the only one who is a current front-runner) and in fact advocate inclusion of all, while still standing up against illegal immigration. Hukabee has proven that voter integrity trumps buying votes after all.
on the other hand, Hillary is a symbol of the past - the Clinton/Bush dynasties. Their time is past, their message is behind us. The time to move forward is truly here, with new faces and new messages. It would be nice to have the first woman president, but if you want one that is an actual change candidate, I recommend Carolyn Kennedy (JFK's daughter). She's Obama in a skirt. Here she is below:
and Romney, well, the New Hampshire press got it right: he's a goddamn phony! He doesn't deserve to be a dogcatcher with my tax dollars; I don't even trust him to pick up the poop. A Republican using the John Kerry flip-flop playbook is bad enough, but as his own party opponents have repeatedely said, he has yet to tell you what he will actually do. I don't give a fuck if he's run the largest corporation in America, I don't care if he was governor of every state, he's not morally or otherwise qualified to be my leader. If I have anything to say about it, he won't be President. I'm using my vote to say to Romney - FUCK YOU MUTHAFUCKA, GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FACE!
We need a better America. We needed better candidates. Obama, Hukabee and Carolyn Kennedy might get us there. Hillary is yesterday's news. And Romney is simply bullshit.
