A few weeks ago I told you that I was proud to be a Democrat….well, I am still proud! So many people want Senator Clinton to drop out of the race. Yet, everyday I hear remarks about how she is inspiring women, young and old. Sen. Obama is a vibrant, inspiring speaker. At this point, I’ll be happy with either one as our nominee. In my statements a few weeks ago I mentioned that I want our candidates to see this race through to the end. The phenomenal number of Democrats voting in the state primaries has caused expectation and a ground swell involving folks young and old.
Our media twists, turns, manipulates and takes things out of context. It’s always been a challenge to teach children to think critically and evaluate the verasity of statements printed in the papers or spoken over the airways. I believe that a few of these “journalists” actually use their shows/paper/articles to promote their own prejudices. Overall these folks express their views, and later we find that all the facts may not have been revealed. In my effort to believe the best about others, I choose to believe that these journalists are speaking from their hearts rather than spouting venom.
Yet, in the controversial events of this Democratic race, I am still optimistic that we will emerge a stronger group of Americans. Haven’t we been forced to face our own beliefs about racial, age and gender inequality? What better way for us to examine our own values than in the arena of political competition.
I am still optimistic that we will emerge with a great leader. I am still leaning favorably towards Sen. Hillary Clinton. But either way, I’m determined to see this through to watch a Democrat in the White House once again.
