Aaaand… I am back!

I am up and running on my lovely new Macbook, school started this week and my awesome part-time job has turned full time and is only getting better.

Life is extremely busy, and exhausting, but finally in a GOOD way. I am going to cut this short, but after this weekend, I will be all caught up and back to regular bloggin’!

No, I am not going anywhere. I will be on a brief hiatus until sometime next week, pending arrival of my new macbook. Yes, I have a desktop at home, but I rarely use it as I hate being tied to my office with a household to run, a puppy to train and a husband to clean up after (or vice versa haha).

My HP laptop is formatted into oblivion, packed up and somewhere with UPS being sent to it’s new jerkface. er.. owner who is a great friend and deserves a laptop. Mainly because I hate IMing his phone!

Anyway, farewell til next week. Or when I have a free moment at work during lunch.

I have never seen so much political drama in my life since I developed a burning hatred for Hillary, and turned my support to Obama.

Honestly. I used to be a huge Hillary supporter. HUGE. I voted for her in NY and I was hoping she would run for President. Right before the official announcement, I started to get iffy about her, but I was still pleased when the official announcement was made. Every day since then, I have hated her, more and more as time went on.

Yesterday, a friend told me that I was betraying women and that I could no longer call myself a feminist because I chose to put my support behind a man. I let her know that the only anti-feminist within our discussion was her, and her attempt to oppress my views and force me to put my political support by someone I do not believe in just because she has a vagina.

Today another friend told me that if Obama doesn’t get the nomination, and I don’t vote for Hillary, that I am a hypocrite and shouldn’t vote at all.

I am NOT a democrat. When I first registered to vote, yes.. I did register as a democrat. I was 18. 10 years ago. I have since realized that I do not want to vote for a party. I want to vote for the best candidate who I believe will do the best job for this country as a whole, not just for me. While my choices do tend to run to the democrats, this isn’t always the case. Every candidate has views that I disagree strongly with. The only person who could ever match me 100%, would be if I ran for President myself.

California allows people to register as undeclared, so that’s what I am. I am not allowed to vote in primaries, which is silly, I think. There are states that allow everyone to vote in all the primaries, which I think would fit me well - I would vote for the best person in each party, IMO, for the job.

Anyway, if for some horrible, terrible reason, Hillary gets the nom, I will not be voting for her. Take away  my feminist card, call me stupid, lob personal attacks on me, I don’t care. I would rather see John McCain as our president than Hillary Clinton. I don’t know who I will vote for - yet. I will need to look deeper, but I will most likely vote Green - I do know that I will not participate in electing her, period.
