10 reasons I’d rather vote for Nader than Clinton

10. Ridiculous gas tax “holiday.” And her insistence that economists who have declared the idea dumb are “elitists” (i.e. all of them).

9. The word “elitist” getting tossed out whenever anyone disagrees with her. Inigo Montoya once said “You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.”

8. Her vote for the war in Iraq.

7. The experience claim. Trips with Sheryl Crow and Sinbad don’t count. She claims 35-years experience (with no real proof) but only has four more years in the Senate than Obama.

6. Mocking Obama during his stump speeches. If you have to resort to middle school tactics (no doubt encouraged by her sleezeball campaign team- Mark Penn, Howard Wolfson et al ) then you must not have much to offer.

5. Her open threat that we would “obliterate” Iran. With what fucking army? Way to dig that hole! Our country has endured 8-years of a trigger happy president. Four more and we’ll be completely fucked.

4. Loves lobbyists and Wal-Mart. Isn’t D.C. corrupt enough?

3 (tie). a. “As far as I know he’s not a Muslim.” Seriously? Even if he WAS a Muslim (and he’s not) should it matter? Just because someone is a Muslim it doesn’t mean they’re a terrorist. Christ! Way to fear monger, Senator Clinton! Yeah!

b. The 3 a.m. phone call ad. If she’s so quick to fly off the handle (see #5) I sure as hell don’t want her answering that phone.

2. Her insistence that the Michigan and Florida delegates should be seated as is. Isn’t this cheating?

The number one reason is pretty much the one that put the nail in the coffin of any hope of my voting for Clinton.

1. The sniper fire in Bosnia claim. My father did two tours of duty in Vietnam. As he put it, “You don’t forget being under sniper fire.” That outrageous lie was so unnecessary and so disrespectful to war veterans and the men and women fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq who have encountered sniper fire, IED’s and other direct, violent threats to their lives. Plus she didn’t just lie about it once, she did so on several occasions. Shame on YOU, Mrs. Clinton. You won’t be my president.
