A Viable Contingency Plan
If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, I will, because I love this country, hold my nose and vote for her. I will WORK HARD to convince my friends to vote for her.
Because she will have won the nomination by the same tactics that led to 8 years of Bush (i.e., falsehoods, smear, cheating, disingenuousness, and victimhood);
Because a greedy, un-American media machine will have helped her squash public interest and enthusiasm with civic involvement, showing the common person has no real voice;
Because she will have convinced an unconscious and frightened plurality that her style of strongarm, dismissive governance in these trying times is what's best;
Because she will have done it with the help of the right wing, corporate power brokers, and enemies of an honest democracy (Scaife's endorsement, Murdoch's donations, and Limbaugh dittoheads mucking the elections);
Because of those things, I will vote for her, then I will leave this country.
I would not be alone. I predict a Hillary Clinton presidency would result in a brain drain of America. I would no longer want to be a part of such a blind, sensationalistic, scared, bankrupt, and militaristic country. I will proudly become an expatriot.
This is it, people. This is either the beginning of the resurrection of the democratic hope of the world, or this is the beginning of the end, a spiral downward into desperate fascism, filled with an uninspired, eh-watcha-gonna-do public, led by a victim-tyrant who "knows best".
I like England. I'll come back if I'm wrong.

I will cast a vote for Shrilliary Clintjoke when hell freezes over and Karl Rove admits he is carrying a love child conceived during his 10 year homosexual affair with George W. Bush.
There was a time I could have voted for her. That time has passed, and it is her own fault.
Frankly, I hope she burns in the hot and smokey pits of hell.
I can see her sentence handed down by the devil now!

Ahhhhhhh Justice!
