WHY NOT HILLARY?
Disclaimer: It's difficult to address negativity without being negative. A wise person once said: Choose your enemies very carefully, because that's what you'll become. Unfortunately, in order to elect Barack, one is forced to address Hillary. In short, WARNING: NOT UPLIFTING MATERIAL.
SPIRITUALITY VRS POLITICS
The problem with Hillary is what motivates her. She treats the pursuit OF high office purely as a chess game, not as something concerning integrity of heart. What Hillary doesn't get, is that Barack is growing a genuine movement. By contrast, Hillary is a cold plate of yesterday's ra-ra dead dessicated politics. But sadly, it's worse than that. The shrill shrieking madness of Hillary simply exhausts. She's willing to run rough-shod over whatever she has to to win. Monster's can be cute. Hillary is NOT. Hillary is the kind of page that Barack talks about turning.
When Bill Clinton says "pledged delegates do not have to vote as pledged", that comes from an ethically bankrupt place. When Hillary wants to count Michigan votes as they stand, that is utterly, boldly and shamelessly corrupt. Yes, FL & MI were no surprise. Everyone publicly signed off on that situation a year ago. Yet, by the time she lost South Carolina, Hillary became simply heartbroken about FL & MI voter "disenfranchisement". One wonders, if Florida got a re-vote, and for argument's sake Barack won, would Hillary then remind those delegates that they don't have to vote as pledged? It's these painful calculations and maneuvers with no seeming guilt or conscience that drive fair minded people away.
Hillary says caucus states are over-run by radicals & don't count, "red states" don't count, small states don't count, & states won with blacks don't count. Only big states that any democrat would carry, and states universally disqualified (before any voting began), count. It's this kind of disingenuousness that drives honest people away.
When Hillary's unequivocally blatant lies about her support of NAFTA came home to roost, she tried to pin Canadian fallout on Barack. I mean, she praises NAFTA in her own book. All the proof you need can be found in this video link;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BrPZYbCdJ4
The Clinton's cunningly initiated framing the election around race in South Carolina, and they haven't really stopped. Getting all the mileage she could from others on Rev Wright first, before she picked up that slimy ball. It's all bottom line to her. Should we all be captive to the words of those we know? Barack could call her judgement into question for being married to an adulterer, but he doesn't operate that way.
And race baiting can't get much uglier than Hillary's pawn Geraldine Ferraro. She appeared to be intentionally provocative to fan the racial fires, because while she may go down in flames for it, she knows she can do damage to Barack in the process, by keeping his candidacy soured, defined and tangled up by race.
Hillary touts Irish peace process experience. Witnesses say she did nothing. Sniper fire in Bosnia? Are we to believe she can't properly recall whether or not she was shot at? People don't say she mis-speaks, they say she LIES, again and again. Here's a great video link on the Bosnia thing;http://beertap.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/hillarys-lies-on-bosnia-thoroughly-documented-in-this-video/
Hillary began her campaign with a sense of entitlement that well-connected corporate candidates have. Only with the shock of losing has she become more plaintive. And it's all cunning manipulations. While one should never qualify anothers emotions, are we to believe still, that this tough woman was all choked up in New Hampshire. Or was it that a poll the day before said she came off as cold. She's schizophrenically all over the map chasing polls, an insincere tactician constantly changing tack, trying anything to gain traction, because she's not for real. If a poll said Hillary would get more votes as an ape, you'd see her tomorrow in an orangutan costume. She doesn't have the even consistency and inspiration that comes with honesty and integrity. And then there was Bill's statement the night before the NH vote, fabricating that Barack agreed with Bush on the war, too late for Barack to rebut. The timing, the scheming, is caustic to those with a sense of decency.
Barack is a vote magnet. Hillary is a vote dredge. Hillary is the corporate shill in the democratic party. She's the democrat "good cop" to the Republican "bad cop". She's taken more lobbyist and corporate pac money than any other candidate, Democrat or Republican. Internet savvy voters are not fooled. Were it not for the media incorrectly calling Texas a Hillary win (to keep the race and ratings going), and an SNL skit that for the first time did not back the progressive candidate, she might have folded by Texas. Those of us breathing election news knew it was all over with Wisconsin. But there's no grace with the Clintons. She's more like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, insisting "tis a scratch". They make it plain that they're fine with effectively orchestrating the stealing of a nomination. Disenfranchisement has never looked so ugly. It seems nothing is sacred to her.
And all this lowest common denominator depravity is plainly in your face, desolate, cold, desperate, nasty, and sad, day in and day out, trailer trash, poisonous to what could otherwise be an uplifting process. How cancerous and coma-inducing the Clinton's have become to the American soul.
I'd like to be positive about them, but they make it impossible. I'm shocked to discover that I can finally understand the Republicans visceral livid reaction to the mere uttering of her name. She has positively become a pariah that has turned a hopeful political process putrid. It makes me nauseas. And some people want four years of this?
Dear Hillary, you have a very unimpressive deck. It seems to be full of LOW cards. You keep playing them. It's time for you to fold.
