A black bourgeois perspective on U.S. politics
They’re baaaack . . .
It might be the former candidate or her supporters, but expect a brief resurgence in Clinton opportunism. Some people can’t let go.
Just last week, Maureen Dowd quoted one such committed Hillary backer who made it her personal mission to rain on Barack and Hillary’s ... Continue reading »

You know I wear the tinfoil hat, and I've NEVER taken it off where she's concerned.
Snakes all.
YOu better believe it.
What I find amusing is that, the 'little people' told Obama that they wouldn't give any dough to retire Hillpatine's debt.
But, to find that the ' grand poobas'....the folks that 'roll' in that social circle, ALSO aren't giving any dough to retire Hillpatine's debt...
well, who knows Hillpatine best?
I'm just a sayin'.
But, I'm feeling this post, and I appreciate you putting it out there like this.

I will be SO GLAD when Obama is the nominee and the Clintons will be RETIRED. Yes, I am optimistic that Obama will be president.

Yes, lots of misguided Clinton supporters will be pushing for a coup, but the FISA issue is not even a little bit the issue to get superdelegates to switch. The FISA bill didn't pass itself. It had plenty of help from the superdelegates themselves.

Why didn't MSM bring up this point while they rammed her 18 million supporters down the country's throat? Seems so clear to me.

If Clinton had so many wealthy donors that they could threaten Nancy Pelosi to cut off funds for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the surely she can find a way to launder that same money to pay off her debts from her anti-Obama campaign!
I gave $25.00 to Clinton eighteen months ago. If she wants any more, she's gonna have to . . . oh well, this is a family blog!

Now that he took a big fat deuce on the 4th Amendment, I don't feel the need to donate to his campaign anymore. More money for me. Less money for bald-faced liars.
But ya, Hillary doesn't care about FISA. It's just a chance for her to score some cheap points. The only person in the Senate that actually cares a damn about civil liberties is Russ Feingold.

The MSM gave us the candidates we got. And I haven't forgiven Hillary for her race-baiting, and if Obama ponies up payola for the buckshot she took aim at him with during the primary - much worse, if he puts her on the ticket as VP (cause that has to be the reason the Hillary camp is starting to rise up again) - that, plus his FISA vote and his flipping on Iraq, may well be enough to tank his campaign and allow McCain to win a race he should lose in a landslide.
The Democratic Party is the only political party I know that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Somehow, when the analysis is done, you're going to find out that the DLC operatives forced their way right back into this campaign to continue their losing ways and record of having Bill Clinton as the only candidate they ever got elected. Gore and Kerry started listening to the DLC when they should have told them to go to hell. Neither one got the White House, and Obama's hiring ex-Clinton staffers is signaling he's going the same route and hoping for a different outcome.
That's called INSANITY, by the way.

oooh the drama of the public blog declaration of "I am no longer contributing to Senator Obama's campaign"! It is so moving.
*shrug*
Every time I read that someone publicly declaring on a blog they are pulling their donations from Senator Obama's campaign, I am glad for my decision, based on these exact kinds of public declarations, to donate monthly now, whatever amount I can, instead of every so often (not every month by any stretch) like I did before.
I'm sure, from what I have seen and heard, that I am not the only one who has decided to respond to this over the top FISA-drama with increased support to try to balance out the people who are making these public declarations.
Plus which, my take is that people who are doing what I am doing aren't as into making dramatic public declarations on blogs about it and are probably more into just doing it -- I could be wrong, but there seems to be some value in the public donation-pullers of Teh Public Blog Declaration! as part of the generation of self-righteously rich drama.
So I haven't said anything on blogs about my decision until now, and I likely won't say anything again. But this is getting on my nerves, the smug self-righteous "look at me! look at meeee! I'm pulling my moneeee" public blog declaration ritual that IMO has little to no actual strategic value in relation to having an actual impact on the direction of Senator Obama's campaign.
I don't have a lot of money to give, so maybe the ones publicly blog-declaring they are pulling donations are richer than me. I don't know, some certainly seem to be pretty well-off to me, talking all about $100 at a time when most of the time I can only do around $10-$20 at a time. But still. I hope somehow it all balances out.
Also, I want to say this: If ever I get to the point where I have decided for sure that will no longer financially support Senator Obama, I will just -- do it. If ever I get to the point where I have decided for sure that I will not vote for him, I will just -- do it.
If such a situation happens for me, I will communicate my decisions directly to the campaign itself as feedback. However, I will not use blog comments to communicate on those kinds of decisions.
There is too much room on blogs for the creation of false drama and bullshit, and also too much structural support for the creation of personas and thus use of psy-op type tactics.

It's really sickening how HRC is doing. In the past, people have told me how dirty the Clintons were but I didn't believe them. I do now.

Originally, both Hillary and Obama voted for cloture. However, Hillary changed her vote before the tally closed, opposing cloture and supporting a filibuster. A little later, she voted against the FISA reform — only one of 28 votes against — while Obama voted for its passage.
Hillary is playing to the Dem base...

Maybe by voting against the FISA bill, Obama is opening the door for a Clinton vice-presidency by making it "easier" for his netroots supporters to support Clinton on the ticket more.
