Know When to Fold'em


Fighting for the sake of fighting is senseless. That is what Hillary is doing at present.

Facing impossible odds, one would hope that a person who wanted to be president would possess the common sense to bow out. The fact that Hillary is continuing her campaign says she isn't willing to accept reality. This feels way too much like Bush and makes me want to run as fast as I can in whatever direction takes me away from possibly having her in the WH.

The obvious comparison is of Obama voting against the Iraq war when the facts didn't support it. It may have been unpopular to do so but a president has to make decisions based on facts, not on emotion. In most cases irrational decisions are those where we let our emotions or other factors cloud our judgement. The American people need somebody with a level head running things. Blind nationalism, greed and Bush neeeding to settle the score with SH has produced what we have today. If we want the same tomorrow then Hillary will do fine. But if we want to have a chance to find our way out of the mess we have then we need to rely on our heads by objectively examining what is good for the country and leave our emotions and the politics of greed at the door.
