I've gone back over some of your other letters, and there is no question in my mind. You are a Republican voter. Almost definitely, you voted for Bush in all of his primary and presidential elections.

And I'll bet you voted for Nader in '00. You're free to cast your vote for whomever and so a I. I am under no obligation to continue to support the Democratic party when they no longer represent my interests. I am an American, too.

Since 1978, I have faithfully voted Democrat - but I, and millions of other "base" voters, have nothing to show for it - we got nothing in return. Under "Billary I", the African-American communities got more draconian drug sentencing, two very capable and competent women (Lani Guinier & Jocelyn Elders) thrown under the Billary Bus, the plight of Haitians ignored by Billary, even after Canada offered a permanent sanctuary for Haitian refugees if the U.S. would offer a temporary way-station for processing. Oh, and then there is "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" which has cost 8,0000 servicemen and women their careers. Oh, Bill claims to really regret that one and the draconian drug laws, BUT he never bothered to correct them, which would have taken the stroke of a pen on an executive order.

And for all you pro-choice feminists, last year Hillary went on record as being sympathetic to the "tragedy" that is the abortion procedure.

Expect Billary II to throw their blind and amnesia-tic followers on a runaway Amtrak if they're elected.

But they won't be.

And a note to you "old", just because some of us stopped drinking the Billary kool-aid around 1999 (after we realized the lies and betrayals perpetrated for personal power)doesn't make us "republican", just disgusted with the status quo of the Democratic party. You should listen to talk radio stations that have predominantly black audiences, like WVON-AM in Chicago. All yellow-dog democrats that are totally over Billary.

Hillary will lose. She won't even carry Arkansas in the general election, let alone the South. And her old man has so alienated young voters, particularly African-Americans, they won't make up the loss.

HOW IS THAT ATTITUDE INSPIRING? YOU DO NOT EVEN DESERVE TO BE AN AMERICAN! SHAME ON YOU! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU! HOW SUB-HUMAN OF YOU! PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK TO MY CORE!

Switch to Decaf. Seriously. and SOON!

And thanks for the rant. I'm even more inspired to NOT vote for Hillary (if she's the nominee) in November.

When white "progressives" discontinue their screwed up worldview that ALL African-Americans HAVE TO sign on to their political agenda, then maybe YOU will get somewhere.

Make a case for Hillary. Give me a reason or dispute the reasons that I gave for not voting for her.

...and must find their own way home.

My daughter is biracial - black mother, white father.

In raising her, I see her navigate the subtle and overt racial assumptions, categorizations everyday. I've seen the look of disappointment on her face when she sees them recoil upon the realization that she has a black mother.

Bi/multiracial people are in the unique position of finding their own peace - and place - in this society, as you all have unique experiences. I believe Obama has done this, and made peace with who and what he is, but also has made his unique racial/ethnic background an opportunity for change.

We have to understand and deal with the whole world - that's the way it is. We need leaders (not just one or two), that will be able to negotiate with world leaders and emerging leaders, and define America's place at the world-table -it's not at the head anymore.

Times are a'changing. If we continue to walk the same political road as always (domestically and internationally), we'll find the sun surely setting on the American Empire.

Epilogue

I'm in Illinois. I voted Obama. It felt g-o-o-o-o-od.

Obama takes Georgia! Obama takes Illinois! Obama takes it!

Yipeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the fact that super delegates can essentially walk into the party convention and decide who gets their nomination on a whim? What if Obama and Clinton remain neck and neck up until the convention? Are we to trust that the super delegates will really vote for who has more delegates? Or who has more of the popular vote?

If this happens, it will be a reminder of what the Dems claim the Bushies & Supreme Court did to them in 2000.Most of the superdelegates are currently in the Clinton camp.

But fact is, a power move at the convention will destroy the Democratic party. No way all of those idealistic voters who desperately want change will support the Democratic ticket with Hillary Clinton as the masthead in November. This will also take down Dem incumbents/candidates running in tight races for state and federal offices.

But the Democrats are perpetual losers. So, steady as she goes.
