Guest Post - Voting Democratic now means endorsing corruption

By Jay - in (not of) L.A.

I didn't watch Hillary Clinton speak at the convention.

It's a sad thing, really.

Sad, because I watched her blossom through the primaries into a vibrantly presidential person whose words I hung on and hungered for. And yet I didn't tune in. And I won't again, until 2012, should she become a candidate again.

Why?

I do not need to hear her plug Obama. I deeply believe that she doesn't mean it and that they strongly dislike each other. It's like watching a commercial for a David Spade movie. The commercial tells you that the movie's great, when you just know it sucks. So I'm not going to watch.

Why I'm not voting for Obama has morphed a bit, while the MSM keeps telling me that I'm coming around to The One's message. Funny -- I'm not, and I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed a big, cartoonish HOPE poster in my window. Maybe they misunderstood us. In what language does 'no' sound like the word for 'yes'? MSMese, perhaps.

See, the motherfucker corrupted the primary process by bullying caucus attendees with busloads of out-of-town thugs, playing the race card and other shenanigans. All the while he was being goosed along by party insiders whose motives we can only guess. To corrupt the primaries is to corrupt the democracy that we thought we lived in at it's roots. It is not okay.

So I'm not voting for him because he hasn't earned the position of POTUS, because I don't believe he stands for a most of what he espouses, and now because I've decided that to vote for him is to send the message that it's okay to have our candidates picked for us.

IT IS NOT, and never will be. I need the leaders of both parties to understand that they corrupt my democracy at their own peril. The next time they consider gaming an election with such vulgar blatancy, I want them to remember, "Well, it doesn't always work."

A substantial number of Americans still believe what they're told by the MSM, and vote accordingly. I'm not one of them, and I'm as proud of it as I could be.

Chances are good that you, the reader, are of like mind. I'm glad you're out there. Please don't be quiet about your discontent.

I promise I won't.
