This Should Be Over

They say that a country gets the leaders it deserves, and if John McCain wins the election in November, it will because of a bunch of moronic Hillary supporters who will be protesting outside the Democratic convention. Having participated in protests in the past, I will unequivocally state they are an exercise in futility, unless, of course, you have the world's news media at your disposal looking to embarrass that arugula chewing, martini sipping, non-bowling elitist by any method available. The corporate media may have shown a bias (DUH), but it seemed to be against the Democratic front runner, not just Hillary.
These people are so Clintonatonic that they'd rather not vote and have McCain win than put someone more in touch with their mental faculties in the White House. My advice to them? Build a Goddamned bridge and get the fuck over it! Primary season is long over, your candidate has thrown her support behind the presumptive nominee, pissing and moaning about it isn't going to change a thing.
This election is still the Democrats to lose. However, I won't support a party full of people who seem more intent on fulfilling their own electoral fantasies than doing what's right for the country. That's why I'm voting for Cynthia McKinney.

Cynthia McKinney For President. Seriously.

For the truly progressive out there, those not bound by party, but by idea, the notion of a Cynthia McKinney candidacy is not that outrageous an idea. For those people who support Sen. Clinton, if she were not to get the Democratic nomination, a vote for Cynthia McKinney is a chance to vote for the other woman running for president, without throwing your vote to an obvious misogynist like John McCain. For those more committed to the environmental issues than the issues of say, bowling scores, lapel pins, or any of the other issues that the corporate media has deemed important, she is the perfect candidate.
Cynthia McKinney was the first to call for an investigation into 9/11 and whether or not the Bush administration had advance notice of the attacks. Of course now, we know they received briefings and chose to ignore them. For this reason, she was targeted by Aipac and defeated that year in the Democratic primary. (Wouldn't want anyone looking too closely at something that was "good for Israel")
McKinney is best remembered for her altercation with Capitol police who tried to stop her from entering Congress as she was rushing to cast a vote on a bill. (And why was she stopped? Because she wasn't wearing her lapel pin!) McKinney later apologized and no charges were ever filed, but it was fodder for the right wing noise machine for quite some time, in an "uppity n***** bitch doesn't know her place" kind of tone.
Or you could vote for the same old same old, and point fingers at each other because the country's still fucked up and continue to play out the same old dramedy year after year, until you move away from the corpocracy, you'll always be their prisoner.
