Will We Lose Another Election Because Our Party is Being Absurd?

It simply astounds me that there are people stating that if their candidate (either Hillary or Obama) doesn't win that they will either not vote in the general election or they will vote for McCain.  Are we destined to lose another election and suffer 4 - 8 more years of the Iraq War, increasing abuse of our Constitution, a deeper economic crisis, a man with a temper so hot that even his OWN party members are fearful of the thought of him in the Oval Office and further deterioration of our country's reputation in the world opinion?

How can ANY person who is a Democrat or an Independent that even leans slightly towards the progressive side of things reasonably and rationally contemplate voting for McSame? Have they learned nothing from the past 7 years?  Are they really wanting things to continue as they are and get worse? Are they wanting to see if McCain will further commit us to Iraq rather than trying to extract us which he has said he will?  Are they really wanting to see if we can push things so far with Iran that we finally end up in another war that we can't afford financially let alone the cost in human lives?  Are they really wanting to turn over an economy already deeply in crisis to a man who admits he doesn't know much about the economy?

Anyone who has complained about the Bush Administration and then goes on to vote for McCain is a disgrace and a hypocrite.  Even Bush acknowledges that McCain will continue his policies.

So grow up, get over your childish bickering as to whom is better, Hillary or Obama, and do the right thing come November. Vte for the Democratic Nominee so that this Country finally has a chance to turn things around.
