Hillary Supporters - Remember You Are Democrats - Why You Should Vote for Obama

[Avalux]

I've been a member of DU for a very long time and remember what this place was like when Bush 'declared war' on Iraq. The vast majority of us were against it; so many of us knew Iraq was not the threat we were told it was; we knew our government was lying to us and there was nothing we could do to stop it. We watched "Shock and Awe" and the aftermath; the last 5 years have unfolded into a nighmarish I-told-you-so; we knew it would turn out this way.

We knew PNAC's plan for the Middle East and how Iraq was the first step. That group of twisted idealogues who more than ten years ago devised a plan to systematically knock off the governments of adversarial countries with our military might. The goal - create chaos in the region so we could step in and take control of their resources (oil). No matter the lives lost and shattered.

We must remember that PNAC has not gone away even though Iraq got so messy; the major players are still pulling the strings and this election will not magically render them powerless. We need a leader who will work to take the power away from them by changing policies. With a stronger majority in the House and Senate, Obama will be able to do so; he will be able to reverse so many of the GOP/Bush's horrible unconstitutional decisions. If McCain is elected, he will continue Bush's unilateralism and the war will continue and spread.

I was reminded of this fact this morning. McCain lover Joe Lieberman was on MSNBC extolling the virtues of his new best friend's foreign policy and the possible need to go into Iran to bomb 'military' sites. From his lips, I heard the f*cked up reason why - Iran is killing our troops in Iraq. Not insurgents, not even Al Qaeda, but Iranians. We are now to believe that if it wasn't for Iran, Iraq would be peaceful and we wouldn't lose any more troops. We are to believe this is why we must bomb Iran.

After listening to Lieberman, I don't think military action against Iran will happen before Bush leaves office. What I do think is that in the run-up to November, the argument for action will be framed just as Lieberman did this morning. The American people will be brainwashed (with the help of the media), into believing we must do so to protect our troops in Iraq. Lieberman is salivating at the thought of war with Iran, hence his cheerleading routine for McCain right now.

Every Democrat must face the truth about McCain. Allowing this man to become president will GUARANTEE more war, more death and further gutting of our country.

You may not completely agree with Obama's healthcare plan, you may think he is an elitist, you may think he is more style than substance. But unless all Democrats get behind him and do whatever it takes to put him in the White House, we can expect PNAC's plan to live on with a McCain presidency.

If nothing else moves you to get out and vote for Barack Obama, think of this: NO MORE WAR.

The future of our country is depending on his election.
