Hillary Clinton Has Come to the Rescue...

Hillary Clinton has come to the rescue. My rescue.

No, she hasn't dropped out of the race. Nor has she found Osama bin Laden, found the cure for AIDS, or even, heaven forbid, publish her income tax returns.

No, she has once again given rise to the notion that politics is, indeed, a dirty and nasty game.

I was beginning to fall into a rut like millions of voters around the country waiting for the next big primary contest, Pennsylvania, in early April, and perhaps not paying as much attention as I/we should to what was going on right now and in front of us.

Once again, Hillary, you have not disappointed.

To wit; At the last debate with Barack Obama, just prior to the Ohio and Texas primaries, they debated the issue of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), saying, with little difference between them, that both would "revisit the terms to see if it could not be revised to be more fair to the working class of the two states", in an obvious pander to the voters without much chance in hell of it happening. Obama's campaign got caught in assuring the Canadian government that Obama did not intend to make changes and it was just a play for their votes(now, what are the Canadians doing in trying to get involved with someone else's politics? - we don't do that). Did she and her people jump all over that, exposing the act just in time for the primaries.And didn't that ever have an impact on the voters in the two states,going for her in a decisive manner. But, here is where she does not disappoint. Her people also met with the Canadian government and made the same assurances. The only difference was that it was discovered after the primaries, after the damage was done to the Obama campaign.

At one of their debates she went on and on at the end saying how"honored she was to be debating Barack" and that they "were more qualified than the Republican nominee" etc., etc., etc., yadda, yadda,yadda. But leading up to the Ohio/Texas primaries, she called him"unfit to be president and not qualified to answer that phone at 3AM," again, yadda, you get the picture.

At that same debate, they were given a standing ovation with the prospect of them being on the same ticket, a "dream ticket." Wednesday she said the "dream ticket" was possible as long as she was the president and Barack was the vice president. Lots of luck with that happening, sweetheart. I've never bought into the idea of a "dream ticket." I believe it is a ploy on Hillary's part to assure the Obama voters and supporters that a vote for her is a vote for Barack. Nice going sweetheart we are on to you.

At a press conference a few days ago she said that "she and John McCain were qualified to be president, that they share the same qualifications and experience, and that Obama does not have the qualifications to be president." Huh? Hey dear, just what "dream ticket" are you running for? Clinton and McCain? Aren't you running as a Democrat or what? And anyway, you'll have to get in line behind McCain - the first spot kissing his ass is held by the one and only Joe Lieberman. You remember him don't you? Another former Democrat?

And I believe it was yesterday Hillary said "the caucuses are undemocratic,unrepresentative, and controlled by party activists."Kinda like the super delegates that you and your people are courting like mad, right? I wonder if you would be saying that if you were winning the caucuses? Well, anyway Hillary, thanks for staying true to form.

Peace. Larry.

P.S. Shit, I can't stop sometimes. I don't know about you guys but I am getting tired of her and her press conferences with the stage and all the backdrops draped with the American flags, like she is the commander in chief already, "ready from day one."
