Ammunition


Every time I see the candidates attacking each other, I cannot help but think that off in the wings are the Gestapo of the Republican Right Wing, the Republican “dirty tricksters” who are getting the film clips ready to formulate the Blitzkrieg of 08.

Can they not be licking their chops in anticipation.

There is enough material here for several campaigns and often in the words of the pivotal players or someone very close.

How can one ignore Geraldine Ferraro suggesting that Obama is where he is because of his skin color.

Or Clinton talking about how much Hillary and John have in common, how much they love America and would be able to address the issues.

Nor can anyone exclude Clinton’s various speeches during the South Carolina campaign that denigrated Martin Luther King’s role as if to suggest that it wasn’t a black man who brought change but president Johnson.

Interspersing these remarks with shots of the over the top pastor would certainly poison the minds of anyone left who can think.

To say, the Democratic Party has allowed these outbursts to occur is unthinkable in the first place; they have imperiled the party and left only destruction in their wake.

We now have a candidate who is clearly the leader in delegates and the popular vote.

The contender, obviously oblivious to what happens to the party, has declared that she will fight right up to the Convention, makes the convention clearly a battle ground and robs it off the opportunity for the democrats to look united and come out swinging.

Strategically, the great panjandrums have failed in their quest to regain their objective: the presidency and we, the people, must suffer for their lack of courage and their inability to see the future.

Off with Dean’s head and dump the rest and maybe out of it all, we can salvage a party that seems to have rotted from the inside out.

What hopes we had have now been dashed and replaced with cynicism that seems to know no end and a party that is all but washed up.
