White People

(?)

I was at a convention in San Francisco many years ago while another convetion was going on. That "other" convetion was for albinos! I also know that to the Indian tribes of the Great Plains, a white buffalo was a sacred beast regarded as the special property of the Sun. But when Hillary Clinton said that she appealed to WHITE PEOPLE yeasterday, I think the political scene shifted into an underlying tone that needs to be addressed.

The best thing we could say about her comment is to echo what Obama said a month ago. We're now in the SILLY SEASON!

Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to continue her quest for the Democratic nomination, arguing she would be the stronger nominee because she appeals to a wider coalition of voters — including whites who have not supported Barack Obama in recent contests. Like it or not, and I think it's needful, the whole race issue is now going to be a part of our American cultural discussion that cannot be avoided.

The Clinton's just "thought" they were not prejudiced- or maybe it's just that she (Bubba) will do whatever needs to be done to win. If you need the black vote, be black. If you need the white vote, be white. Whatever!

Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said Clinton's comment was a "poorly worded" variation on the way analysts have been "slicing and dicing the vote in racial terms." However, he said her primary support doesn't prove she's more electable. Either Democrat will get "the vast majority" of the other's primary election votes in a general election, he said.

Do we have another Operation Chaos here- one not from El Rushbo?

Going deeper in this racial quicksand, Paul Begala, a political consultant, a commentator, and a former advisor to President Bill Clinton- and now Hillary advisor said, "The party (Democrats) could not win in November with just “eggheads and African-Americans,” that the party could not ignore white middle-class voters. Who's ignoring the middle class? And what makes Paul think Hillary has them locked up?

Data from the North Carolina primary doesn't back up Begala's scenario.

Come November, it won't be a battle between two Democrats, but between ONE Democrat and ONE Republican (can you say John McCain?). And while emotions are raw right now among Democrats, and while the race issue needs to get into the open more than ever before, come November, there will be a real "game-changer".

Can a Coming Energy Crisis Top the Wall Street Disaster?
By: Klaus H Hemsath | 11/10/2008
The recent Wall Street disaster reminds us that citizens cannot trust industry. Greed has invaded the most profitable companies to an unacceptable and destructive degree. US citizens must consider the banking crisis as a wake up call for preventing the oil and energy industries from creating an even more destructive energy catastrophe.

It's not the Surge
By: Mike Mittelman | 09/10/2008
There is a belief that we are winning "The War on Terrorism" and that our success is due to recent troop surges in Iraq. The entire invasion and occupation of Iraq has been one continuing troop surge that caused no change or slow down in Terrorist activity. It's not the Surge that's responsible for the slowdown in Terrorist activity.
