ITS NOT THE ECONOMY, STUPID….ITS STUPID POLITICIANS!
I just finished reading up on ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. If those words, Community Organization stick out, they should. Barak Obama has a history wtih ACORN. His role with the Chicago-Annenberg Trust project worked with ACORN to, you guessed it, “encourage” banks into making loans to low income and unqualified applicants for home mortgages.
ACORN is also involved in nearly a dozen voter registration fraud cases throughout the country. ACORN is a taxpayer supported, liberal political organization that rakes in millions and millions from the Housing Trust Fund….Yet another tool of the federal government to take your money and spend it how they see fit. READ MORE HERE.
I bring up ACORN, only because its just another in the long list of entities, agencies and programs that exist, only because of your tax dollars. Only because some politician introduced a bill, called in some favors and lined the pockets of his friends.
If there ever was a time to say enough is enough, it is now.
The $700 billion dollar bail out bill got voted down by house members who’s constituents were overwhelming their phone banks saying, don’t vote for it, or else. I think it’s because, like me, most Americans are starting to think of $800 toilet seats, studies of the mating habits of woodchucks, statues honoring the guys who introduced the bill to build the statue and we’re starting to do the math. $700 billion dollars is a lot of money, but if you went through last years budget and cut out all the wasteful and needless spending, you’d probably come close to having that much available.
And if you went back over the last two years and added up all the CEO bonuses and profits from companies that no longer exist, you’d have a chunk of it to play with.
Americans, like me, are starting to figure out, its not the economy, stupid, its stupid politicians. More accurately, its stupid voters like me allowing the stupid politicians to say one thing and do another. A friend of mine sent an email to me the other day saying he was going to vote against anybody who was in office right now, Republican or Democrat, it didn’t matter. Maybe that’s not a bad message to send. We don’t care what your politics are, it’s time to start handling our business like it’s our money and not yours.
I am confident that America will come through this economic crisis we are facing and be better than ever on the other side, but we must….we must….start holding our elected leaders accountable for their decisions.
Not matter how you want to vote, please make sure you vote to send a message that politics as usual will not stand.
BIDEN TO RESIGN FROM RACE!
This website has been given information from a confidential source close to the power brokers of the Democrat National Committee that indicates Joe Biden will resign from the presidential race October 5th. On or about October 5th, it is believed that Biden will excuse himself from the ticket,
citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the vice presidential debate on 10/2.
According to the source, there have been ongoing talks about how to best to proceed with the strategy without it appearing to be a blatant political maneuver.
Just a week ago, after Biden stated publicly that “Hillary would have been a better choice for vice president than him”, this web site posted a blog commentary stating that this looked suspiciously like the “soft grand opening” of the replace Biden with Hillary idea. Having Biden deliver the idea to the minds of voters is the subtle beginning that such a blatantly obvious political move would have to employ in order to a chance of passing the smell test in the minds of voters. One of the possible scenarios is for Biden to announce a medical issue, such as an anurism, that will prevent him from performing his duties, if elected. This medical cover story, however, is nothing but a ruse to shield the Obama campaign from the attacks that are sure to come from the McCain camp and the right. The economic news that changes daily will also help to squash the media frenzy that is sure to ensue.
The real question is can the American people ever accept a move like this? Other web sites and blogs are hinting at the Biden departure, but Laugh At Liberals, based on recently received information, is now convinced that the Obama campaign is going to make history, yet again.
What are the ramifications? Obviously the Obama campaign and the Democrat party have decided that the risks outweigh the rewards. They feel an Obama/Hillary ticket would guarantee the White House. The left will also find support among in the liberal media. There will most certainly be those in the left leaning media who will say, it doesn’t matter that Obama is doing it because Hillary is a better choice so he’s doing the right thing anyway? The spin from the left will be this is good for America, blah, blah, blah.
It is also the opinion of this writer that this move may have even been planned before the Democrat national convention. One theory being discussed in conservative circles is the idea that Obama, Hillary and the DNC, conspired to keep Hillary off the ticket until after McCain had made his choice for Vice President. It’s possible that McCain’s campaign may have even got wind of the October-Hillary surprise and made the Palin choice to get out in front of the the Dem dream ticket.
Watch for this story to develop this week.
McCain Picks Sarah Palin-Are You Kidding Me?
Alaska’s govenor Sarah Palin is now the presumptive Republican nominee for vice president.
When I read the news the first thing that came to mind was Admiral James Stockdale. Remember him. That was Ross Perot’s running mate in his ill-fated independent bid for the presidency. In his first major public appearance, a vice presidential debate, Stockdale’s first statement was, “Many of you are probably asking, who am I? Why am I here?”
I had the same initial response to Palin. Who is that? I have to admit, I’ve never even heard of her until this morning. Now that she is on the verge of becoming the Republican nominee for vice president, I guess it’s time we asked those same questions. Who is she?…and more importantly, Why is she here?
Palin’s govenor’s web site, McCain’s web site and a hot, fresh entry at Wikipedia reveal a young, fresh faced Alaskan govenor who came from humble beginnings and apparently has a strong moral compass. She served two terms on the Wasilla Alaska city council, got elected as the towns mayor and won the office of govenor by beating a Republican incumbent and a former Democratic govenor in the process.
It’s a pretty thin record for a Vice President, but technically, she has more executive experience than any of the candidates, including McCain. Still I was blown away by the pick until I started looking at the second question…Why is she here?
First of all, the obvious. She is a woman. McCain needs to woo the conservatives who were supporting Hillary because of her gender and Palin may help do that. Secondly she is a staunch pro-life advocate, and a woman, which will please the pro-life evangelicals. She is young, which helps negate McCain’s age issue and I think she also changes the dynamic of the “experience” debate. McCain has tried, unsuccesfully, to use Obama’s lack of experience. How can Palin’s lack of experience be called into question? She has a track record of controlling spending and making tough budget choices.
Most importantly though, Palin is a maverick. Just like McCain. She has bucked her own party on more than one occasion. She has brought corruption and ethics charges against fellow Republicans who deserved it. She has also taken the oil industry to task in Alaska. A tough thing to do.
Palin’s pick sends a signal from McCain. Not just to Obama, but to the Republican establishment in Washington. If McCain wins, you can bet he’ll turn Palin loose on the DC-GOP club to clean up any lingering questions about ethics and pork-barrell spending. Unlike a lot of Washington insiders, like Biden, Obama and even McCain, Palin is not beholden to special interests, fellow party members or other inside the beltway loansharks. One gets the impression from reading her bio that if she loses the election, she’d be just fine heading back to Alaska for some hunting and fishing.
Look out Washington. You’ve just met probably the most dangerous political animal ever. A conservative woman candidate for VP with absolutely nothing to lose.
Oh yeah, she’s a hottie too!
THE NIGGER TRAP
Nigger. It’s just a word, right? It can’t cut you, break a bone, steal your money or take your life…unless you’re white.
If you are white and you use that word in the wrong context and you will lose your job. You can be banned from television and radio. Use that word in the wrong neighborhood, it will get you killed.
Now if you’re black, you can use the word in any circumstance without fear. You can use it jokingly. You can use it in anger. It doesn’t really matter. The fact that you are black means you can say it and get a free pass because of the color of your skin.
That pretty much sums up the debate that has emerged after Jesse Jackson was caught on tape by Fox News calling Barack Obama a nigger and saying he would like to cut his nuts off. Mind you, this is the same Jesse Jackson who beat the drums so loudly after Don Imus called a bunch of girls, jokingly, nappy headed hos, that Imus got fired. CBS was so scared of retribution from Jackson and his ilk that they fired Imus and ended up losing the lawsuit he filed. That fear cost them millions, but they figured it was worth it.
I don’t see anybody threatening to fire or ban Jesse Jackson, do you?
I watched excerpts from the view as Whoopi Goldberg explained that the black community has co-opted the word, originally meant as an insult, and turned it into something less vicious…but, she added, if you’re white, you still can’t say it. I can say it, because I’m black. You can’t because you are white, so get over it. I can understand this concept to a degree. It’s the same thing for fat people. I can joke about me being overweight, but if you joke about me being overweight, it’s hurtful. I get it.
The problem is, sometimes, very rarely, but sometimes even white people can get a pass on using the word. I have seen and heard white comedians, in front of black and mixed race audiences, use the word nigger and get howls of laughter. It’s the context I suppose. The comedian was making a joke, it was funny, everybody laughed, no harm no foul, right? Let that same comedian walk outside of the comedy club and call one of the black audience members, in anger, a nigger and he is very close to committing a hate crime.
If Don Imus was black. Would there have been any controversy? Of course not. And he didn’t even use the N-word. He just made a stupid observation using language that some people, in some circumstances MIGHT find offensive. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard girls, white and black, call each other ho and laugh about it.
The only reason white people can’t say the word is because the black activist community is struggling to find anything that they can point at to prove that racism is still a scourge on society that requires your donation to fight. In other words, white people saying the word nigger keeps Al Sharpton in business. That should be reason enough to stop using it.
Rappers sing it, comedians shout it and people use it every day…but if you’re white and conservative you better back off. It’s a trap.
I decided I can’t stand Rush
I have gotten to the point I can not stand listening to Rush Limbaugh any longer. The same rhetoric is repeated over and over. I’m not a liberal and can no longer call myself a conservative if the leading conservative is sounding so pathetic. Wednesday he went on and on several times in his broadcast about how stupid the Demorcrats are for not wanting to get even for the beheadings and loss of soldiers we have had in Iraq. We were never in Iraq to get even for current events, if we are there for that reason we will always be there since there will be a never ending supply of events to get even for. It would be impossible to have those current events had we not gone there in the first place, first grade logic. He sounds completely ignorant, and this is who we choose to represent us on a world stage. He calls himself El Rushbo for crying out loud, how much more juvenile and happy hour bar mentality can you get than that? He makes us look like a bunch of redneck idiots. Last week his comments about 1% of the the population paying the majority of taxes was just plain stupid, duh Mr. Limbaugh 1% has the majority of income. I don’t begrudge them having it, but I definitely am not concerned they are taxed on it. It isn’t going to matter if they start taxing our capital gains because we are not making millions like Rush Limbaugh therefore we will not have any capital left to tax.
Middle income hard working people are struggling to keep their homes, go to work and pay daycare because prices have gotten out of control and the best our most paid attention to spokesperson can come up with is calling a presidential nominee lord messiah over and over and over and over and over. We are not living in times where we can look at the poor and say oh well they should have worked harder it’s their own fault because we are becoming them and it’s not our fault. Could the man come up with some real solutions rather then a constant parade of what he believes is wit in running down others.
My end of Rush came in his commentary about a woman this week who wrote a letter to her Senator saying we need to prioritize. He spent alot of his show ridiculing her on the order she put her priorities, food being third on the list. What he doesn’t realize with his millions is that food can come third, it’s called taking the hamburger out of the spaghetti, it’s one of the few places have left where we can cut back and save a couple of bucks. I realized then he is so completely out of touch with us and what is going on because he is not us, he does not even have to consider what is going on out here because he is protected from it all with his wealth. Then it dawned on me, he is just a high paid entertainer, nothing more. He has been telling us what we want to hear for years and I’m ashamed to admit I listened and I went with it because my calf was fat and life was good. Now it’s starting to unravel and it’s not going to matter who gets into the white house. The reality is the cost of living has gone up by over 60% in eight years and it’s not going to come down, it never has and never will. And it will be a very long time before income catches up again. This is where we are and we had better come up with something better than pointing fingers, calling names, and listening to commentary of leaders or shall I say entertainers who in reality couldn’t care less about us.
MLK is Rolling in his Grave
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Black America took a wrong turn. At some time in the past few decades, although it pains me to determine precisely when, this occurred. In his March 26 article the Miami Herald’s Leonard Pitts Jr. illustrated this so eloquently that I really won’t have to say much to make this point… but I will!
Barack Obama completely missed the boat on this. His “race speech” was a bland continuation of his passionate delivery of vague generalities. He no more “showed us how” to talk about race than Pete Rose showed us how to talk about ethics.
Here stood the first legitimate Black American in the running for the United States Presidency. The bully pulpit was his. The media was all ears! The time was NOW! And…
A dud.
A stale, rhetoric filled dud.
If Obama had talked to us “as though we were adults” as John Leibowitz (Stewart’s real nam stated on his Daily Show then he would have been HONEST and DIRECT in his words to the country. This is something both White and Black America desperately need to hear, and they need to hear it from (Bill Cosby can’t do this alone and last I checked he was not a Presidential candidate, and while all my points are factual and true I am indeed a Typical White Person so I have racism bred into me since birth and am therefore disqualified to comment).
Obama could have been a reformer Democrat. He could have risen to this occasion and turned the negatives of his preacher’s alarming views into the ultimate positive. Instead Obama swung and missed.
Obama: “I can no more disavow my pastor as I can the black community.” With this he undid any chance he had for lifting up the black community. The remarks of Pastor Wright are so far removed from reality that most simply laugh them off or sit in stunned amazement of how dangerously pandering they are, especially coming from an educated adult. Not only should Obama have denounced the statements of his pastor of 20 years, he should have offered rebuttals! This would have started the American ball rolling towards… what is that word again???
Here is what Obama should have said:
There is absolutely no conspiracy to let drugs into the black community, and the AIDS virus is a worldwide epidemic, not a scheme created by the U.S. Government to infect Black Americans. Anyone who would say this is either woefully ignorant or an outright liar.
Al Qaeda has attacked the U.S., the U.K., South Africa, Israel, Yemen, Australia, Spain, and Japan to name a few.
Al Qaeda opposes liberty and individual rights. They hate our freedom and way of life. They are indoctrinated against the West from the time they are children. This has nothing to do with any “chickens coming home to roost.”
People who support Affirmative Action based on RACE (and not on economics) are misguided and bigoted. They look at you based on the color of your skin and say “they are not good enough and need the help of the government.” President Bush was right when he called this the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”
We are fooling ourselves. We allow people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton to claim they speak for us with for race baiting rhetoric. We ignore the brilliant minds of Black Americans such as Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Roy Innis, Ward Connerly, Sojourner Truth, Justice Clarence Thomas, Shelby Steele, Francis Rice and Justice Janice Rogers Brown to name a few. These are the role models for young Black Americans to emulate!
Blacks face an uphill battle to start with due to the high rate of out of wedlock births in our community. It is at 70%. In the 1950’s it was at 20%. How did this happen? Why did this happen? This is not about slavery or even about racism. Look yourself in the mirror!
I was wrong when I called for the firing of Don Imus and although his statements were in fact stupid, bigoted and wrong, I see the error of my thinking and what a double standard I have set for those who look up to my leadership and vision for the country.
Man is imperfect. History has proven this time and time again. Racism will always exist in the minds of some. It is up to you to determine how this affects your sense of self worth and your ability to make it in America.
The “War on Poverty” has lasted for 40 years and cost $40 Trillion (with a T). Go to any big city in America and the poor section of town is always heavily populated by Blacks. 9 of the 10 cities highest in poverty are run by Democrats and have been for decades.
You’ve been hoodwinked. You’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled.” Malcolm X
Blacks now vote 92% for Democrats. This represents the highest voting bloc in the country’s history. Even as a Democrat I can see how this is harming us as a society. We are being taken advantage of. We should at least revisit the issues at hand. Which is the party that best represents your chance at economic freedom and success? Which party correctly defines the ROLE for the Federal Government?
Consider:
1. With blacks dying at an average of 7 years before their white counterparts, why do we support a Party who prevents us from passing our “social security” savings to our children?
2. Blacks support personal responsibility and strong punishment for criminals. We must understand that the criminal justice system is not racist: Blacks make up 12% of the population yet commit almost 50% of the violent crime!
3. Blacks overwhelmingly oppose gay marriage and abortion on demand.
4. Republicans support school choice in general and vouchers in particular, which would directly help the poorest inner city children with nowhere to turn. Democrats blocked school doorways for blacks in the 60’s and continue to do so today with their policies towards education.
5. Learn History. The Democrat Party filibustered to kill the 1964 Civil Rights Act, started the KKK, and proudly refers to a former Klansman as “the conscience of the Senate.”
In closing, we need to realize that we live in the greatest country ever conceived by man. We should thank God each day that we were born into a country that provides each and every one of us with the opportunity to do with our lives whatever we choose and to earn as much wealth for ourselves and our families as we can. Remember that “People vote with their feet” and millions upon millions of people each year would not risk their very lives to come to this country if this were not so. Wake up people!
Perhaps this was the turning point: When Senator Barry Goldwater (REP) voted against the Civil Rights Act the liberals seized this as a propaganda tool and a spark that drove Black Americans from the RED side to the BLUE. No matter that Goldwater did this based on a constitutional argument that the Act was unnecessary because of the 14th Amendment. Goldwater later regretted this vote. I do too as it led to millions of modern day Black Americans being led astray.
The real tragedy in all of this is that not only are many Black Americans missing the boat when it comes to the American Dream, they don’t even know what that dream actually is and that they too can achieve it, since they are constantly being told how awful our country is! This is truly a shame.
At the end of the day, the person telling the truth is typically vilified, as most of the time people don’t want to hear it. But the truth is the truth. Facts are facts and cannot be “agreed with.” What I have written here today is indeed fact. Cold and Hard.
If Barack Obama had said these things he would have made a difference. He would have forced the issue. He could have defined a generation.
I am still waiting. And Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is rolling in his grave.

The True Bigots… Democrat Editorialists!

The True Bigots… Democrat Editorialists
So it has come to this. It is now perfectly fine to consider a person’s race and gender when voting for President of the United States. Starting in pre school we are taught that these things are expressly NOT a valid reason with which to make decisions and judgments about each other, but now I have to explain Mr. Ensley’s article to my little girl after she see’s the “Madame President” photo. (This after explaining the NYT “Betray-Us ad). Did I miss something in Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech?
Apparently so. Forty years and hundreds of billions of dollars in the “War on Poverty” have basically created a permanent second class of American citizen, dependant on and beholden to the mighty Federal Government - stripped of their dignity, sense of individual pride and will to succeed.
Maybe I missed it but some of the most powerful, successful and brilliant people in this country lately are Black Americans like Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Justice Clarence Thomas. (None of which incidentally have EVER been on the covers of JET or EBONY magazines… not once). Naturally any intelligent reader would imagine the question “would Gerald Ensley consider voting for any of the persons mentioned above?” They fit the race/gender bill nicely after all.
Attention Big Lib editorial writers… the Democrat Party in general and Hillary Clinton (and Barrack Obama) in particular represent everything that we fought against during the American Revolution. Think about it: High Taxation, unlimited Government power, collectivism, group rights, to name a few. Now, rather than considering this and other genuine principles of American governance, we set out to nominate and then elect a President based on their RACE, and/or GENDER.
It is truly sad how Black Americans are pandered to and taken for granted by the Democrats. I guess it is okay to consider RACE if the candidate is on the left side of the aisle (and Obama is consistently rated as the most liberal Senator). I would be surprised by the stories of Blacks walking into the election room and being annoyed when handed a DEM ballot when they are a registered REP. While American Blacks should so clearly be voting Republican, they overwhelmingly (92% on average) do not.
Have you seen those little online “Electoral Compasses” where you answer a number of policy based and issue oriented questions, then it matches you with your Presidential Candidate. As simple as this is it absolutely does a better job in matching our vote with our candidate who best represents our views than does RACE and GENDER.
If the object of these “it’s okay to discuss race and gender” columns is to evoke a reaction out of the reader then mission accomplished! I just hope the writers of such columns awaken each morning thanking their lucky stars to have a writing career as it was based (at least on the body of evidence) on something such as RACE or GENDER and certainly not on intelligence, writing skill or insight.
Yours truly,

THE POLITICS OF WEATHER: How The Weather Channel Turned Forecasting Into Bush-Bashing!
I guess I should have realized it was going to happen back when liberals started blaming hurricanes on Bush foreign policy. Then when Katrina hit and the failure of a Democrat govenor and Democrat Mayor to mange the aftermath of the disaster morphed into another failed Bush policy, I should have seen it coming.
Last night, it hit me right between the eyes.
I was watching the Weather Channel for the “local on the eights” forecast. I should have changed channels before they got back into programming but the I didn’t. I got sucked right into another installment of their ongoing series, “When Weather Changed History.” Guess what I learned? I learned that Republican Herbert Hoover drove blacks away from the Republican Party after he failed to follow through on numerous promises made to black America during his campaign. This is one way that weather changed history. Oh yeah, he also ordered levee’s on the Mississippi River to be blown up, causing the flooding of poor, black parrishes north of New Orleans in order to save his rich white friends in the city. Another astounding example of weather altering the course of history! Wait there’s more! Hoover ordered those levees to be blown up with complete disregard for deaths of black American’s that would most assuredly follow…and here’s the most important thing I learned…this whole Republican conspiracy against blacks back in the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927 is exactly what happened with Bush and Katrina.
Did you notice how I slipped that part in there about a flood? See, I told you this was about how weather changed history.
Why doesn’t the Weather Channel just change the name of the show? “How Republicans Use Weather to Kill Black People.” Yeah, that’s got a nice ring to it….and it’s timely too, what with the election and all happening right now. Maybe this one. “Storm Stories: Bush Lied, Crops Died!” How about just have random liberal rants 6 times an hour and call it “Crazies On The Eights.” Why hold back?
What happened to the Weather Channel? Is Dr. Heidi Cullen really a mad scientist who has replaced the brains of everyone working there? You remember her. She’s the gal that suggested any meteorologist who didn’t believe in global warming, excuse me climate change, any one of them who dared to have a differing opinion should be stripped of their American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. Check out this quote from her weather.com blog.
” Meteorologists are among the few people trained in the sciences who are permitted regular access to our living rooms. And in that sense, they owe it to their audience to distinguish between solid, peer-reviewed science and junk political controversy. “
That’s what SHE said about scientist who DISAGREE with Al Gore’s version of climate change. You can’t make this stuff up. Here’s more.
If a meteorologist can’t speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn’t give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn’t agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns. It’s like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It’s not a political statement…it’s just an incorrect statement.”
Here’s the clincher.
“I agree with every meteorologist who says the topic of global warming has gotten too political. But that’s why talking about the science is so important!”
Remember that line the next time you’re watching “When Weather Changed History.”
THE END OF THE CLINTON ERA, OR JUST THE BEGINNING
I do respect Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are undoubtedly smart, well educated, incredible campaigners and survivors. While I disagree with most of their ideas about what government should be, they have governed effectively when given the opportunity.
With that being said I welcome their exit from the political center stage. The Clinton’s are solely responsible for the modern state of the body politic. It was the Clinton’s that ushered in the politics of destruction and the dumbing down of statesmenship. Only a few short years before Slick Willie’s arrival on the presidentail campaign trail, Gary Hart was run out of town on rail for possibly being involved in an affair. Bill Clinton got accused of rape, sexual molestation and illicit affairs and what did he get? The White House. Thanks to a wife who, when confronted on 60 minutes, barely blinked and besmirched the good name of Tammy Wynette “standing by her man”. Hillary taking one for the team. Sacrificing honor for power. And so it was at that moment that the last vestiges of stigmatism were shaken off the sanctity of marriage in the political arena. These days it takes a pedaphile or homosexual dalliances in a public restroom to raise eyebrows in politics. Thanks Hillary.
Onward and upward is the Clinton battle cry. Liberals bemoan a “secretive” Bush administration, but what did Bush ever do that compares to Hillary’s Whitewater files dissappearing from Vince Fosters office as he lay with a bullet in his brain. How does anything Bush has done compare to Clinton lacky Sandy Berger sneaking out top secret files to protect his former bosses.
Dumb it down. Lower the standard. Don’t ask, don’t tell.
The Clinton’s used government and office to bring forth the age of situational ethics and cultural equivalence and we are not better for it. Do I even need to mention Monica Lewinsky? That wagging finger. Could you ever imagine George Bush in the same scenario.
As Barak Obama pulls away from Hillary in the primaries I can see the end of the Clinton era over the horizon. But is it really the end? Bill and Hill will fight to the finish, but even if they lose and Obama becomes the new face of the Democrats, will the Clinton era really be over?
I’m afraid the answer is no. Pandora’s box is open. The Clinton legacy is not about policy, not about war, not about the economy, stupid. The Clinton legacy is about politics at any price. Winning, regardless of cost. Principles based on polling.
The Clinton era isn’t ending. It’s just getting started.
