How About Dem “Bubba” Politics

I have been asked by many Dems what my problem with the Clintons is…..and there are many.  Let me enlighten those people that ask that question of me…….

With the Weiner thing we are hearing a lot about the Clinton’s mainly because his wife worked for Hil in the State Department…….and also Bubba is making quite a name for himself with his Global Initiative…….and of course Bubba is trotted out at just about every main Democratic function so he can bring the heat for the candidate….personal I get a knot in my stomach whenever I hear a liberal chattering on about the accomplishments of the Bubba admin…….

Yeah…you guessed it!  I think Clinton was horrible for the Democratic Party and it will take decades for it to recover from his and his buddies at the DLC and the damage they have done…….

Bill Clinton!  if you are a right winger then you cannot get past the BJ……..if you are a centrist Dem then you worship him for returning those Reagan Democrats back to the fold….but if you are natrue Progressive you feel the pain of the soul being ripped out of the Democratic Party by Clinton and his DLC cronies……Oh, i am sure there are those out there that will take exception to my statement and I will defend my assertion…….

In 1992 with the election of Bill Clinton as president I warned people that they should hold their approval for awhile for I saw a screwing coming…….boy did I catch Hell….more so than I did when I warned people that there would be NO change coming with the election of Obama………but I got to utter the 4 most beautiful words in the English language….”I Told you So”!

So why do I dislike Clinton?  Simple he with the assistance of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) handed the Democratic Party over to corporate America…..they made outsourcing lucrative…….they made the 2008 recession possible by the repealing of Glass-Steagall…….they allowed and lead the attack on poor people……they also helped labor become the dirty word it is today……and their damn foolish free trade acts killed American jobs…….

A true Democratic Party is dead!  Clinton and the DLC took the party and began dismantling everything that it stood for and worked for in the past.  Thanx to these asshats the Democratic Party has its mouth fixed permanently to the buttocks of corporate America and moved the Dems firmly to the right of center for decades to come.  Unfortunately the party shall never return to its roots……why?  Corporate America will not allow it!

Progressives and liberals should find another party to associate with in the future…….the DP is almost as conserv as the GOP…….the party that had a soul has been crucified on a pile of cash…..and driving the nails were the Clintons and the DLC.

So….NO!  I have NO use for him….no matter how much good he is supposedly doing with his cash cow…the Global Initiative.

What we need is a true “Liberal” party……..the one we have now is not doing the job………

Anybody But Hil?

Yesterday I wrote about the conflict reported in the news………. about the RNC head pissing and moaning about the NBC and CNN docs about Hilary Clinton…..so I thought I would look at the 2016 election and how it may shake out for the Dems….we already have a good idea of the bat crap crazies the Right will embrace but what about those darn pesky Dems?

There seems to be a consensus that Hilary will run in 2016 and the same people seem to think she is a shoo in for the nomination…….but is she?

Guess what?  There has been a poll in this very subject (there is always a poll and few are accurate but the MSM needs them….so we get them)……

Report from the Washington Examiner:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on top of yet another poll today. But it’s not the result her team was hoping for.

In a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Clinton tops five others as the one candidate voters don’t want to win in 2016.

“Regardless of whom you would vote for, which candidate would you least like to see win the Democratic nomination in 2016? Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Martin O’Malley, Andrew Cuomo, Antonio Villaraigosa or Cory Booker?” Rasmussen asked.

The results: Clinton 27 percent, Biden 24 percent. The rest were in the 15 percent to 17 percent, reported Rasmussen. Women are more enthusiastic supporters of Clinton than men are. Men are more likely to hope she doesn’t get the Democratic nomination.

This from a paper that I seldom read….but I am sure their are enough Repubs that consider their reporting as gospel……their poll is probably no more accurate than any of the others……

I guess we have to wait and see…..I know the media wants her but what about us mere mortals….only time will answer the question….

Is Everybody Is Running Scared Of Hilary?

The 2016 election is quickly approaching…….we have NO idea who will be the GOP candidates save one….it seems the Santorum has pretty much decide to amuse us again….but after that the field is obfuscated….

We know that the conservs are running scared of the the only Dem mentioned so far…Hilary.  They have a Super PAC dedicated to ruining her chances and most commentators are mentioning her at every opportunity……but who else is getting any attention on the lib side of the equation?  So far….NO one!

The Left, I mean the real Left not these darn centrists, are saying that there needs to be someone hit Hilary from the Left……but who would say that….and at this time?

Report from The Hill:

Ralph Nader tore into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s liberal bona fides on Monday and said a candidate should challenge her from the left if she runs for the 2016 Democratic nomination.

“Somebody must challenge from the left, because, I mean, Hillary Clinton, who started out as a progressive out of Yale Law School and Wellesley, she’s become almost the poster child for the military-industrial complex,” Nader said in an online interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd.

“She hugs Kissinger; she hobnobs with Bob Rubin and the Wall Street crowd — I mean it’s almost a caricature,” Nader added. “But you know on social issues, like pro-choice, children’s issues, you know she keeps that liberal sheen.”

The former Democratic presidential candidate, who has also run for president as an independent and for the Green Party, said Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), both of whom have been vocal proponents of Wall Street reform, would be solid challengers.

Oh great…the great and powerful media whore Nader has spoken!

While I may agree with Nader’s proposition that someone on the Left, the real Left, needs to jump in in opposition to Hilary…..I do not put much credence in Nader’s opinion……he is a media whore that likes to see his name in print……for me his days of relevancy has long past.

The Left needs a true spokesperson…….Nader ain’t it!
