What's REALLY at stake
Alright folks...so apart who's gonna hold his/her nose when voting for Obama/Hillary in the general election, consider what's really at stake if John McCain should get elected:
4,000+ more American soldiers killed in Iraq
30,000+ more American soldiers wounded in Iraq
500,000+ more Iraqi civilians displaced, murdered, or mutilated
3,000,000,000+ added to the national debt (that's to your kids' and grandkids' debt)
2-3 new conservative supreme court justices
Roe v. Wade overturned or overturn-able
Illegal wiretapping made permanent
Civil liberties flushed down the toilet
War with Iran (!!!)
US standing in the world damaged for at least 15-20 years


So, in light of these very real consequences, you could REALLY NOT bring yourself to vote for Hillary or Obama, even if you now fervently believe in either of them, primaries-wise?

Get real. Soon.

1. Welcome to DU, and you're right, and most people here know the
risks of McCain getting in. This is primary season, and the longest one anyone has ever seen. Slack works this year +.
