Clintons Furthering Racial & Gender Divide
by bacaangel

It is a shame how Hillary, Bill and their Team have initiated Race and Gender into this nation, emotions and standards we were moving away from. Young women go to war, and hold many jobs that were not open to them before and Blacks too. We were making strides towards equaliy of the sexes and moving toward a more united nation, and the Hope and Inspiration Barack offered us was a very appealing idea and necessary. Yet every day, Hillary, Bill or one of their surrogates talk unjustly about the inequality of women: a black man can be president before a women -- Barack is getting "special treatment" because he is a black man, etc., etc. They have been doing this and getting away with it from South Carolina and it is getting worse as they see this nomination slipping away. This is unfair to the nation that they would rather tear this country down and move it backwards, to pit one group against another and to incite animosity and hatred than to talk about real issues that need to be addressed today if we are to move forward as a people, and sadder yet, no one is calling them out on it. However, that is why some are calling for her to step aside. No one objects to a healthy and honest debate on the issues, but what people are objecting to, not that she is a woman, but that she is a woman that has gone ballistic, in a very negative way. She is like a cancer that has gone wild and there apparently seems to be no cure, we can only wait until it takes it course. Or like a hurricane that does terrible damage and we must run for cover and wait for it to abate. She has lost her moral compass!

After Hillary's Bosnia debaucle, she is like the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz, when the curtin has been pulled away and we see the sad reality and not the Illusion or myth they want perpetrated on the crowd. This fabricated recount of Bosnian Sniper Fire is a breach of the Public Trust or should be. It goes right to the Heart of Credibility and to Character! Some in the media have gone on to say, "it's no big deal", or this amounts to "silly season." However, to willfully mislead the public for gain is wrong and should have no place in our politics today and certainly should not be rewarded by a vote of confidence and our presidential votes. Politicians should not get a pass from the Media -- to be able to get away with such outlandish distortions, lies and exaggeration. They should be held to a Higher Standard than the rest of us if they want to hold the highest office in the land and to lead America to a better standard of life. This is what is wrong with our politics of today, a "do and say" anything policy that is allowed to be acceptable when on the otherhand, we raise our children not to lie and steal and cheat. However, they have been telling these Tall Tales for years and this time got caught. No thanks to Andrea Mitchell, however, who accompanied her on this trip and did not report it until it became public knowledge, then Ms. Mithcell did reporting on it. The American People however, Expect and Demand that thier Politicians be trustworthy and truthful!

Hillary often boasts that she would not meet with her enmies, however, in an attempt to divert attention away from Bosnia she sat down with Richard Mellon Scaife, her arch enemy and personal persecutor, the very same Richard Mellon Scaife, who during her White House years accused her of the murder of Vince Foster and said that Bill and she had committed 60 murders to hide their crimes, in an ill-advised and ill-timed manner to re-introduce the Rev. Wright issue -- by the way, the very Rev. Wright that they Invited to the White House.

Then in a further attempt to divert attention away from Bosnia, they sent out Sen. McGovern to add more fuel to the Gender Fight, already started by Geraldine Ferraro, so now we have a racial and gender war/fight beginning to brew in their hopes to keep up the divisions they have already inflamed in the public discourse. That they are willing to divide the country back into a gender and racial war tells you much about thier character.

This fight could have possibly been over if it was not for Rush Limbaugh, and Bill's visit to Rush during the Texas Primarys. Barack might have won Texas but for the 100,000 Republican votes casted for Hillary which put her slightly over the top. However, the Republicans who vote for Barack, genuinely like him, unlike the Republicans who vote for Hillary, as a way to "bloody" Barack up, edged on by Rush Limbaugh! As for her Tonya Harding, Tonya was sent packing in disgrace! As for Hillary's scheme to make Barack look "unelectable", it looks like due to her Bosnian Misadventure, the "Chickens are Coming Home to Roost"!

This is a sad debauchle on American history that the first woman with a serious chance to become President has had such disregard for her own Party and the country at large in the way she has conducted herself and campaign and for their reckless exhibition in tearing the country apart through both race and gender. Unfortunately, she has not exhibited a moral and ethical character and a genuine graciousness of spirit, which Protype would have been a a role model for all women to be proud of. This is not the type of "Sophia" or Mary to lead America to a better and more shining place and to that more perfect union which would enable us to measure up to the challenges of our time.
