5/8/2008 - The Dripping Stench of Desperation |
|
The Clinton campaign is now in self-destruct mode. With all other options now removed from the table, they are now in their death throes and her latest gambit is nauseating. In an OPEN LETTER TO BARACK OBAMA, she is basically accusing him of being responsible for the disenfranchisement of Democratic voters in Michigan and Florida.
I am one of those disenfranchised voters and I'm pissed about it. But I am NOT pissed at Barack Obama. He rejected a privately-funded primary and completely agree with that. The potential for misconduct in something like that is much too high and there would ALWAYS be a cloud over an election paid for by private donors. But Clinton's using this in the same sickening, pandering fashion she used the Gas Tax Holiday idea she stole from John McCain. It's the pathetic and shameful act of a desperate campaign. Here's my Letter to the Editor to the Detroit Free Press about it. I wanted to write a much longer letter but short ones are more likely to get printed. It's a shame she'll never get to read it. I'm just disgusted... In response to Senator Clinton's “open letter” to Senator Obama: Senator Clinton, I am one of the disenfranchised Democratic voters in Michigan that you wrote about. I, too, feel my vote was stolen. Unlike you, however, I do not blame Senator Obama, I blame the Democratic leadership in Michigan. I vividly remember YOU saying last October, “It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything.” Like Senator Obama, I think a privately-funded primary is a Bad Idea. Your bizarre blaming of Senator Obama for this debacle is absurd and a desperate act by a hopeless candidacy. Please end this charade and pull out of the race. And, in the future, please do not speak for me for your own political gain. |

Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.-- Tim Cahill
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
