Hillary Has Found Her Voice and It's Republican

After months of chameleon-like changes with her campaign strategies, Hillary Clinton has finally found her true voice.  Surprise, surprise, it's Republican!  With all the venom of a Karl Rove or the late Lee Atwater, who to his credit sought forgiveness for his actions, Hillary has unleashed a barrage of innuendos, record distortions, fear-mongering, race-baiting, and flat out lies aimed towards Barack Obama, that would make most right-winged Republicans recoil.

Hillary isn't just using the Republican playbook, she's releasing her own edition. It's a win at any cost strategy that will surely cost Democratic Party unity in November.  If Hillary benefits from her ill-advised tactics, in the fall a lot of people will have to decide which Republican candidate is more acceptable. Today in a vote between Hillary and John McCain, I choose McCain.

Right now for Democrats and voters at large, the choices couldn't be clearer.  If we want more of the same old rhetoric, the same old Democrat/Republican partisanship, the same old Red State/Blue State mentality, the same old class/race/religion divisiveness, the same old war, the same old Machiavellian Clintonism, which has revealed its true stripes with an air of entitlement, then vote for Hillary Clinton.

However, if we want civility in governance, like-minded Republicans and Democrats working together to find those real solutions that Hillary touts (because leadership does start at the top), if we want to unite the country and truly have a United States of America with it's people working together instead of placing a dagger in each other's backs at every opportunity, if we want to achieve real change or at least have the faith that real change can occur in our lifetime, because "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb.11:1), then vote for Barack Obama.

For the United States of America, it's our Robert Frost moment where, 

                                   "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
                                    I took the one less traveled by,
                                    And that has made all the difference."
