Hillary Supporters We Want You
A good friend of my blog is Zenyenta http://zenyenta.wordpress.com/ . She is very much like an aunt to me and you don’t disown an aunt simply because she forgets to take her medication. You see, Zenyenta is an unabashed liberal. Recently she posted this on the blog:
“You’d prefer McCain to nominate the next SCOTUS judges than Obama? I think the RNC would like to send you a check. If they haven’t already.”
Assuming a miracle doesn’t happen and Obama wins the Democratic nomination (In politics I know that is a big assumption) I want to put out a call to all you Hillary Clinton supporters. We want to make common cause with you to help defeat Barrack Hussein Obama in the November election and put John McCain in office.
A lot of people will try and scare you. For example they’ll warn you that John McCain has a terrible temper. Well so did your beloved Lyndon Johnson. A temper doesn’t disqualify you from being President.
They’ll tell you that McCain will pack the Supreme Court with conservatives. That won’t happen. Expect that the judges he nominates will be moderates like John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Some things like abortion may be overturned, but civil liberties will remain for the most part.
They’ll tell you that McCain wants to keep troops in Iraq for 100 years, but remember we’ve been in Japan that long too. Its not like we’ll be fighting 100 years. I would guess 10 more years tops.
They’ll tell you that McCain is out of touch with the financial crisis. His chief financial adviser is Phil Gramm who knows economics and who is responsible for cutting a lot of annoying red tape out of the way of financial institutions.
In short, things will continue much as they have. This is a lot better than the nightmare that we all know will occur if Obama gets in. Together we can defeat him. With the war and looming recession we Republicans can’t do it on our own. Let’s defeat Obama together!
Nate, if you succeed in getting McCain elected you can just forget getting any more of those nice, crisp $5 bills in your birthday cards.

Nate, I empathize with your situation about your Aunt Zenyetta. While you don’t advertise that you solve readers’ problems, I hoped you would have some advice for me. In my family, I am the rebel. They came of age in the New Deal, I drew inspiration from the Reagan Revolution. As you can imagine, family dinners are very upsetting to me. After decades of trying, I have convinced my brother to accept my faith and worship the Gipper, free market capitalism, anti communist terrorism, and personal responsibility instead of the welfare state. However, my sister remains tied to the outdated, intellectually feeble, and heretical social and political values with whihc we were raised. I feel like I have saved my brother, but how can I save my sister?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a bad Family Ties rerun. A lot of people become Republican when they get older and wiser. I’m sure there is hope for her too.
