The first
caucuses and primaries are just around the corner, and soon people will be
stepping up to pick the candidate who they feel best exudes the quality,
fortitude and ideals that they want in their president.
Currently the
top three democratic candidates are Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama, and John Edwards. There are a few others who
are running, but they have not garnered enough support or money to make them
strong contenders.
So, for the
purpose of this story I am going to tell you who I think will be the nominee
for the Democratic Party, and if you have not figured out already from the
title of this article, I believe it will be Clinton.
Senator
Clinton will make a great president. She represents mainstream America, she
knows that the majority of Americans want an end to the Iraq war, while each of
the GOP candidates want it to continue. She knows that the majority of
Americans want universal health care, which each of the GOP candidates is
against. She knows that the majority of Americans have a strong concern for
global climate change, which each of the GOP candidates is not even willing to
admit exists.
Senator
Clinton recognizes that under President Bush’s leadership, the largest debt in
the history of our country has been created because of his tax cuts for the
rich and his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that ultimately will cost American
taxpayers trillions.
Senator
Clinton has come to learn that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and
his NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) policy have hurt America with
the loss of millions of jobs, and she has said that she would change NAFTA and
other so called free trade agreements. Maybe she should look into Equal Trade
Agreements.
Hillary
Clinton wants to bring back what America once stood for: respect for the Geneva
Convention; championship of human rights; opposition to torture; justice for
all.
Senator
Clinton stands for strong moral values; she understands that science can be
good for mankind. She sees the potential from stem cell research and she would
authorize more federal funding. She knows that embryos that fertility clinics
destroy every year would be an excellent source to further such research.
Whereas the GOP, the so–called party of family values, would rather see the
approximately 400,000 embryos be flushed down the toilet every year.
Clinton
understands a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her own body, unlike
the Republicans, who think they know better.
The Republican
Party also anti–gay and lesbian rights, and it does not believe that gays and
lesbians deserve the same consideration as heterosexuals. Senator Clinton, while not supporting same
sex marriages, does support Civil Unions that would afford all the
responsibilities and benefits as a conventional marriage.
Senator
Clinton has the intelligence, the experience, the backbone and the
understanding that America has gotten away from the moral values that once made
our country the greatest country on Earth.
America is in
need of a change, and Hillary Clinton is right for the Job.
