POLLY WANA CRACKER?
 The
Repugs are all Jonny-one-note-ing their propaganda talking points and the
dumbass Dems among us are parroting their spin: "Yassar! Whatever
you say, sar!" They have been so
conditioned to believe whatever Repugs say that they do it despite the
harm it does to them.
They are among the
first to criticize the Dem Majority in Congress for running scared yet
they do the same thing when confronted with the need for independent thought.
Currently, the one
note Repugs sing is that they can win in '08 because the Dems will nominate
Senator Clinton. Hillary, they say, will bring out their base while the
Dem base will wring its collective hands, blubbering like a two-year-old.
We heard several
different Repug spokes-people, obviously reading from the same scrip, declare
that the Repugs could keep the White House in the up coming election. They
all made the same three points in the same order:
- By election time,
drawdown of the troops in Iraq would be a reality so the Dems would lose
their main issue.
- Also, Repugs would
have solidified support around one candidate and WE all speak with one
voice.
- The Dems would
nominate Hillary who is unelectable and we could always count on disgruntled
Dems to weep and wail and vote for a third party instead of their Party's
nominee.
Then they would
follow up with their usual Hillary critique ranging from her choice of
clothing to her "baggage" from the Clinton administration. They
would claim that she is so hated that voters would be polarized and Repugs
would win over the country.
The mere fact that
they are allowed, by the various media talk shows, to continually repeat
the false charges of the Whitewater era shows how desperately they fear
and need to defeat Hillary, and no wonder:
- Hillary has won
over many Independent voters who are seeing her for the first time as she
is, not as the Bush media has painted her and they are impressed with her
knowledge, her level headed good sense and her ability to communicate.
- They fear that
minorities will see how greatly her experience dwarfs that of any of the
other leading candidates.
- Their own internal
polling has shown that many Repug women support her, and intend to vote
for her in the secrecy of the polling booth. It seems these women are eager
to give the middle finger salute to the males who have denigrated and devaluated
them over the years.
Even so, the Repugs
and the media are conflicted. They very
much do not want Richardson or Obama to win the primary because just about
anything they use against them could be and would be construed as racist.
So they are hoping that Edwards or another white guy will win --
they've had experience with mud slinging them.
