Original article: Hillary without tears

The Political Expediency of Tears

I hope everyone understands that Hillary's teary-eyedness was for her frustration at the American people for not understanding that it is her turn in the Oval Office. It doesn't matter that over half of the American people hate her. She is asking us to ignore the fact that the man she is using to get elected is a president who was impeached while in office and seeded the divisiveness that makes it near impossible for Congress to get anything done. She forgets that for the first time in American history, a sitting US president was questioned under oath about his sexual proclivities in the OVAL office - not with his wife but with a young intern on the payroll of the federal government. She is asking us to ignore the fact that our US tax dollars had to pay for this investigation. She is asking us to believe that she is a champion of women's issues even though she has stood by a man who has harassed and abused women most of his political life.

What Hillary also doesn't mention is at one-time she was part of the vast right-wing conspiracy, including campaigning for Barry Goldwater, who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights bill and caused a mass exodus of African Americans from the Republican party to the Democratic Party.

The Presidency is about character and leadership and as Bill Bradley so eloquently stated "how he or she handles power". I know how Hillary handles powere. It's called the Politics of Personal Destruction and conquer and divide. I'm casting my vote in the Nevada caucus for Obama.

Barack is a Muslim

I am so glad Sen Obama did not take public campaign money because he's going to need twice as much as he used for the primary to combat the raceist stupidity of media outlets like this one. One of my greatest pleasures is giving to Sen Obama's campaign as often as I can.

And just to show support for Obama volunteers who have to deal with the stupidity of media outlets like you and Muslim women who are treated as if they're unAmerican or terrorists, I'll be wearing a headwrap, just like theirs whenever I go to an Obama rally. I want my Muslim sisters to know that I'm one Christian sister that supports them.
