The Hunt for Blue November

As if Hilary wasn’t giving Republicans enough to hate about her, now she’s portraying herself as the Mexican candidate. She marched a small stereotypical Mexican on-stage tonight in El Paso and harvested his soul for campaign power. It was disturbing to watch. And although I think most Democrats have caught on to the fact that Clinton is potentially very poisonous in a general election, I still think she’s going to get the nod. Because she’s smart. She’s collecting Super Delegates like Goro on an Easter egg-hunt, and she’s targeting the big states that she’ll probably win (especially Texas). I still consider Obama the underdog.

And I’m a little sick of the feminist we-told-ya-so thing that’s going on with Hilary struggling. One of the talking heads that was on CNN last night actually tried to make it sound like a women who finished first in her class at Harvard was doomed to be nothing but a legal secretary. Get real. Even a transsexual member of the Nazi party would be the head of Asian Distribution for 90% of the companies in this country by finishing number one at Harvard. This isn’t the 1950’s, women can do whatever the hell they want in any discipline, and to act differently is ridiculous.

On top of that, some are trying to relate the struggle of blacks in this country to that of white women. It’s not even on the same playing field. I don’t recall any mass murders of rich white women in the 20th century. And last time I checked, women have been in the upper echelon of Anglo-Saxon politics since before Queen Elizabeth. Certainly not in American politics, but there’s a big difference between being neglected and typecast as a gender and being actively hunted as a race. The Feminist left needs to stop saying there isn’t a difference just because they can.

People aren’t voting for Hilary Clinton because they don’t like her. It’s as simple as that. She’s as plastic and scripted of a politician as any we’ve ever had, and her voting record would make Paul Wellstone spin in his grave (to soon?). We all know that Obama has just as many Pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists playing puppet-master in his campaign as Hilary, but we give him a pass. He smokes cigarettes and plays soccer. His grandmother is a goat-farmer in Kenya, and in this Blow-Job to the White House that’s good enough for me.
