It's Only Words

As the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary nears last week the Hillary Clinton Hell Hath No Fury Campaign released tax returns indicating her and Bill earned over $100 million dollars from 2000 through 2006 begging the question: just how does she appeal to blue collar workers without bullshitting them that she feels their pain. In response the Obama campaign kept the high moral ground by not pouncing on the glaring chasm between the Clintons rhetoric of empty empathy and the reality of the Clinton wealth.

In an attempt to explain his trouble appealing to the working class Sen. Obama recently said that there are a lot of people in small towns who are angry and bitter because they feel left behind and "It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

With nonchalant ease and without a trace of shame Senator Clinton appeared comfortable in the slop and spin of the political gutter as she accused Sen. Obama of being “…elitist and out of touch” and “…not reflective of the values and beliefs of Americans”.
This from a candidate so “out of touch” with reality that she cannot mathematically win the Democratic nomination for president without being divisive because her campaign was poorly managed from day one being ill equipped to deal with life after the first Super Tuesday that they resorted to daily redefining reality by repeating the mantra mirror, mirror on the wall what favors Hillary above all others.

How ironic that the person who wants to become the first woman president, indeed even feels entitled to the position, accuses her Democratic opponent of the elitism which is no different from the label of elitism that Republicans have for decades used to describe, to define and to demonize Democrats.

In fact today John McCain did precisely that. In response to Sen. Obama’s speech that has Sen. Clinton performing like a drama queen, Sen. McCain claimed that Sen. Obama was out of touch with the public. Can you imagine that - two months ago during a Republican debate the straight talkin’ media created loveable old maverick, John McCain, said we were better off now than we were seven years ago - now that’s out of touch with reality when just the other day a poll found that 78 percent of Americans thought we were worse off. So who is really out of touch with the American people?

One can hardly resist the urge to suggest that Hillary Clinton is Joe Lieberman with tits as a clever way of describing a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ironically the only real Republican at that debate and the only real straight talker said we were not better off. That was Ron Paul the real maverick that the press ignored while covering their own creation who was squatting and grunting more often than not when George Bush commanded him to shit and support nonsense like the surge is working and he’s on top of the economy.

Although Hillary is fond of saying when Obama speaks “it’s only words” apparently Obama’s observation is a convenient Clinton family exception to the rule as well as a disingenuous attempt to obscure and conceal her own elitism found in her words like "I was raised with Midwestern values and an unshakable faith in America and its policies," she said. "Now, Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it's a matter of constitutional right. Americans who believe in God believe it's a matter of personal faith.

Who the hell is Hillary Clinton to define the values and beliefs of Americans and claim they exist for society at large? How presumptuous, how pompous, how elitist for her to believe that she has those distinctive attributes which qualify her views on any matter to be taken more seriously?

We weren’t all raised in the Midwest as such most Americans weren’t raised with Midwestern values but just what those Midwestern values are that Sen. Clinton claims she was raised on no one in the press even bothered to ask? And not all Americans acted like good Germans who shared her “unshakable faith in America and its policies” certainly not as they were applied abroad to Vietnam, South America, Central America and the drug war that further eroded our constitutional liberties here at home.

Indeed, Sen. Clinton’s elitist worldview even excluded many Americans who believe the Second Amendment applies to a well regulated militia and not individual citizens as well as excluding the many Americans who believe in the separation of church and state.

Sen. Clinton’s hysterical response to Sen. Obama’s observation is only the words spoken by the self appointed Queen of the Democratic Party: mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the most electable of all? But this isn’t a fairy tale that can come true, there is no voice coming from the mirror, there is only the reflection of a bitter divisive woman scorned.
