Hypocrisy Bothers Me

His hypocrisy

is what bothers me.

He paints himself

as an anit-war candidate

and then supports

escalating war in Afghanistan.

So we trade one war for another,

how are we better off?

He paints himself as a liberal

but supports

“safe” nuclear power.

So we cause even more global warming

how are we better off?

He paints himself as a uniter

and I do believe, to some extent,

he will do that in

a sexist sort of way

BUT if many women feel disrespected

and discounted

are we really that much better off?

I’m not saying he wouldn’t be a decent president.

I think he would be

BUT I need to vote for someone

with whom I agree.

Cynthia Mckinney.
