I had a Dream, but woke up to a Nightmare!
Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 08:28 PM by FrenchieCat
Camp Clinton is PLAYING OFFENSE- Hitting Obama on his greatest strengths; anti-Iraq War, motivating speeches, Uniting Americans and his intelligence and work ethics.

The Hillary camp is playing offense in the true road tested Rovian style. They have taken notes, and have adopted his style because it gets you where you want to go. This includes going after their current opponent's strength with a vengeance so obvious to the naked eye, even the blind can see it. They will continue in this take no prisoner unapologetic-al manner until they are back into the White House. You've got to remember that when Al Gore was denied his chance as elected President, the Clintons were shut out too. It's been 8 long years, and they are not about to step out of the way, or even play fair. As far as they are concerned, winning is certainly the only and overarching goal.

And so, the scorch earth policy is the Clinton policy if need be, and will be as effective as how Bush got into office in 2000.

So,

Is this fair? Doesn't matter. Politics is about power, and nothing more.
Is this right? Who gives a shit? Clinton and her followers don't.
Is this how it works? apparently so.
Do I like it? Not one bit.
Does it hurt? Absolutely! I will become apathetic to politics once more watching Hillary destroy the good to win.
But what about the Children? This is about power, fuck the children.
But our country is sooo divided! SO what?

Just remember,
BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON isn't about Us, it is about them.
Revenge, self satisfaction, and whatever it takes including an all out war of sorts.
If they don't knock OBama out of the way first,
then They won't get to do "payback" on the GOP for what was done to them,
That's what this primary is about; "get out of my way, or else!"
because the goal is to write, sign, seal and deliver the payback checks.

Everything else, including us..... is bullshit.




There are only a few players remaining who may be able to stop this if they get on the same team,
and here they are:

2. Without uniting the country there will be NO change and
the issues facing this nation WILL NOT be resolved.

Divide and conquer is the strategy that has been successfully carried out against the American public. To enact major change and to address the issues facing our country the President will have to sell their agenda to the American public. H.C. cannot do this.

4. I think if those leaders I show stand up together, they may be able to become a firewall.....
otherwise, we are truly at the abyss.

8. That photo is not saying I want Edwards as my President.....
cause I don't. It means that those figures are the ones, if they stand together, can create a firewall.

At this point, Edwards is helping OBama more than not...in particular, in South Carolina.
