Neither race, NOR sex, NOR generations, NOR liberal vs. conservative.... Obama, Hillary, Edwards and every other Republocrat are fishing for money. They have all learned from the "master bator" himself, Bill Clinton, that it is so much easier to prostitute yourself to the bankers and the scam artists who run the country than it is to actually change anything. Bill Clinton had a terrific opportunity to undo years of damage inflicted upon the country by Bush, Reagan and Nixon. He could have struck a blow at the Pentagon; he could have told the oil companies to eat shit; he could have redirected the Justice Department; he could have killed zionism; he could have insisted that the World Court arrest Ratko Mladic; he could have lifted the Cuban trade embargo.... In short, he could have acted as an old-time, back-to-basics Democrat, the kind of Johnsonian Democrat who made his mark giving lesser mortals the Johnsonian treatment, and then telling them to like it or lump it. But what did Bill do? He bargained, pardoned, fucked and flummoxed his way to infamy by avoiding anything that required the smallest bit of backbone. With Spineless Bill, the image and the bank account took precedence. After Bill, the Democratic party fell into the hands of the bankers on the DNC, the finest group of politicians money can buy. And nothing has changed since then except the names of the players. Hillary, Obama and the rest of the team have exhausted themselves (and us) with their hyperbole, bombast and nonsense. Is it any wonder that those of us who remember the sixties, the seventies and Jimmy Carter are spending our time doubled over in laughter whenever one of them opens his (or her) mouth? Wake us up when a real candidate appears.
