It felt great to fill in the bubble beside Clinton's name. Albeit delegates are award from the caucus and not the primary, but I did it anyway lol
Lots of other county and city level positions on the ballot, but nothing truly to get excited about. I really do just vote for that little flag sticker.

Q Mr. President, you haven't been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, it really is. I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the Commander-in-Chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as -- to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.
Taken from
Politico.
Are you kidding me? His response to the ultimate sacrifice made for this country is to forgo golf? What an insensitive prick. It is no wonder that he plans on vetoing the new GI Bill that would have doubled the amount veterans could use on college education.
It is about time that the President do something more than lip service and giving up golf for the men and women who have followed his orders to their death.

We are winding down the primary season with West Virgina voting today and only a few states left in the wings. It will be interesting to see at what margin Clinton beats Obama toay. Some polls had her up 30% due to the white, rural, and poor voters dominating the state. It's these blue collar workers that will ultimately either win or lose the election for the democrats in November.... Obama better pick his VP wisely and with any luck it'll be Clinton. Vote for her to ensure a great pair in the White house :)

My candidate lost. Sure she could argue that technically until the convention we have no clue as to how the vote will turn out. Our pledged delegates really aren’t beholden to what their constituent’s votes. Instead they can vote their conscience just like the super delegates.
Part of me hopes that Hillary will keep fighting and find any loophole the democrats have in their process and use it. Not because I think there should be in fighting among the democrats, but to ensure that the next time around our entire process might be more democratic and fair. Get rid of the super delegates and trust the voice of the people.
Florida and Michigan need to be seated. Come on, Dean, make the announcement that they’ll be seated and that their votes will count. It won’t change the outcome of the election and Obama will need months to undo and explain why Florida and Michigan voters (like every other state) are coveted.
For everyone who is demanding that Hillary step aside- stop complaining that there should be a victor before all the votes are counted. Want a quick match? Orchestrate the primaries so that they all fall within two or three months of each other. Kentucky’s voters are no less sophisticated to determine the winner than Iowa or Nevada.
The Democrats are divided, but they can easily rectify the situation by working for the people who put them in power. This election truly has been ours to lose. If we can just make it back to the issues and the voters, then we the people will win.

Wages, home equity, and taxes are not the only indicators for the economy. Take a look at the falling dollar, the inevitable inflation, and the growth to dept ration. We have a simulated economy that hinges on foreign credit; it is a false economy that could very well crash the minute we are cut off of from funds from oversea investors. For the safety and stability of our country, we need to cut up our national credit cards.
The only time we have seen national debt reduction in the past 70 years was when Democrats were charge of both the Congress and the White House or when one party was in the White House and another ran Congress. Though you hear much lip service from Republican's about controlling spending and limiting government, they fail to do anything to minimize our country's national debt.
History indicates that there is a simple solution to the growing debt problem: Congress and the President must adhere to a ‘pay as you go’ rule regardless of the party in control.
Take a good look at your congressional races along with the presidential candidates. It is imperative that our presidents and leaders be well versed in economics. Do they know how they will pay for the Iraq and Afghanistan war? Do they know how they will keep Social Security alive? How will they pay to execute their goals in health care, border security, education, and infrastructure? How will their policies strengthen the dollar and curb inflation? If you don’t ask the questions and hold politician accountable, who will?

Sahahria, I hope you don't mind that I'm giving my two cents here rather than in your journal. I need a good kick in the pants sometimes too.
It isn't about nonconforming or choosing to swim up stream; apathy is a tough skill to master for someone who actual gives a damn. It would be great to not feel obligated to rock the boat, to look away, or to believe that we cannot bring about change- but we can. You can. You can pretend that you are not meant for the heroine role. Everyone at one point in their life idolizes and then deems the feats of the giants are unrealistic for a peon. But we both know that is untrue. Write your own fairytale and live it because every story needs a hero that fights when everyone else gives up. Injustices happen because good people do nothing. At the end of the day the only person who you have to answer to is you and God.

Lets pop the bubbleies and celebrate the 5th year of mission accomplished. Damn I'm glad we got that mess taken care of in a speedy fashion. Toast to defeating terrorism in Iraq! Or promoting democracy, or locating the WMD, or finding Bin Laden... whatever it was that we accomplished back in 2003 I'm sure it was monumental!
