Reply #5: I voted that I supported Obama and no longer believe the things

[DevonRex]

I thought about Senator Clinton.

I want to stress that this is my CHOICE. We are in control of our choices. Sure, I could choose to continue to bash Hillary, but it is not at all productive. I still have some very definite opinions of the things that happened during the primaries. But I choose to follow Barack's and Hillary's lead and LET IT GO. Our choices define us. I choose to be defined as a person who can forgive and forget, who is not judgmental and suspicious. I choose to remember all the times I stood up for Hillary against my rabid right wing family. The reasons I stood up for her are STILL VALID, no matter how contentious the battle was in the spring.

Most of all, I choose to understand the feelings of others. We have some wonderful democrats here whose feelings we MUST take into consideration. What does it say about US if we continue to hurt THEM? There are specific posters I think of before I write anything derogatory about Hillary. I try to see my words through their eyes. If my words would cause them pain then I do not write them. And over time that method has healed me.

I also know that Hillary is absolutely qualified for the SoS position and that she will do a wonderful job in remarkably tough times.
