Okay, I just caught up on all the “Hilary’s going to try to get to get nominated!” nonsense news, and here’s my take: It’s bullshit.
She’s not a fucking idiot. I saw the so-called “smoking gun” undercover video, and the only thing it “proves” is that she has absolutely no such plans whatsoever. In fact, she disowns the damned “plans.”
It doesn’t take someone with keen foresight to know what would happen if the Clinton camp tried to nominate Hilary at the Convention: she’d lose by even more delegates than she had in June. The humiliation would be disastrous and her political career would be effectively crushed.
There is no way in hell she would allow this to happen, let alone mastermind it. I don’t know who’s driving this rumour bus, but it sure as hell isn’t Hilary Clinton. It’s probably the small, deeply disturbed cadre of Clintonites who tried to disrupt the rules committee, led by that racist woman who set YouTube afire with her “inexperienced black man” comments. Who knows. But isn’t it just predictable as hell that the corporate televised media is running with it?
After all, there aren’t any REAL stories to cover. No wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, no political corruption in the Bush Administration or Congress, no pathetic capitulation by the Democrats on impeachment, no challenges to Democrats like Pelosi by independents like Sheehan because of Pelosi’s refusal to consider impeachment of Bush because of criminal offenses…
Nope. Nothing to see here, let’s cover a non-story in the election. Let’s not even cover a REAL story in the election, like John McCain’s myriad of ties to big oil and lobbyists. Maybe tomorrow we can do a story about Obama’s email address book and how many movie stars are in it…
On another note: I am so fucking sick of the “Hilary was victimised by gender bias” meme I could puke. It’s such a crock of SHIT. She ran against a BLACK MAN, for chrissakes. If there were ever a time Hilary Clinton had an ADVANTAGE as a woman, THIS WAS IT. If there were EVER a time it was PURE ADVANTAGE TO BE A WOMAN, THIS WAS IT.
Sorry, it’s the goddamned truth. She did NOT lose because of gender fucking bias. After February, she lost because Barack Obama was the better candidate. Period, the end, no more discussion to be had. After February, she was toast. Stick a fork in her (and that is NOT a goddamned misogynist violence against women expression get over it), she’d have been better off quitting, end of story. Gender bias my firm, heart shaped rounded ass. BARACK OBAMA WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE, THE BETTER CAMPAIGNER, THE BETTER FUNDRAISER, THE BETTER DEMOCRAT.
GET USED TO IT.
Gender Bias. Jesus Christ. That anyone can say that with a straight face… against THIS man? Against a man who gets called NIGGER every fucking day in a hundred different ways on a thousand different websites… Holy fucking shit… how can you look yourselves in the mirror. I am embarrassed to have a fucking uterus.
