  • Ain't that a shame

    That 'ol "who's the more

    prejudiced?" game

    As far as my feelings

    to Clinton go out

    she's taken hope

    and colored it as doubt

    With all the mud the lady has flung

    all it's done is put her

    on the bottom rung

    I would not stoop so low to help her from the hole she's dug

    with her lyin' ways, and her shirking shrug

    If she's your woman

    and she's your best

    I pity the person

    in whom you so fervently invest.

    What does unvetted mean? Does that mean that Obama ain't had his shots?

    I fear she would be a fatal femme for this country.

    Obama hasn't shown his support for ending the war in Iraq?

    That's an amazing statement.

    What's of more major note though, is that Clinton endorced,

    voted for, and gave her full blessings to invading Iraq.

    And that's the fact Jack.

    I only hear a very faint and lonely grunt in the dark.

  • A Lonely Grunt in the Dark

    [Read the article: My last word (for now) on sexism]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She cast her vote to dispatch our troops to Iraq, and her speech is just a shabby reach to climb out of soggy old sock.

    Her verbosity cannot mask the atrocity of her relentless pomposity.

    She gave the war her okay green light, and now our country's stuck in a state of endless night.

    Demogrunt, you are a credulous fool, you need to take yourself back to primary school.

    I'm From Houston as I've said before, so don't let Smith give you the impression that she somehow speaks for, or has an accute pulse on how Texas politics work. In Houston Obama did outstandingly well, and later he won the caucuses, so I wouldn't put any stock in what Smith says about how Texans vote. I think she "says" she's up in north Texas, and frankly I don't give a spit and shine and two cents for what she has to say about the voting history of the Dallas Fort Worth area either. Of course Smith has also said she lives in Austin, where I often go to get away from urban drag in Houston, and I can tell you straight, Obama is on the hopeful lips of Austinites more than Hillary could ever hope for. Smith's punditry isn't worth a tarnished penny.

    You would make any Texan with asense of pride and fairness sick to their stomach. Yeah, racism is doubtless alive and well with old hags like you fanning its flames.

    I read Smith's posts. I wanna know what ugliness flows forth from the underbelly society of her sickeningly claustrophobic Smithiverse.

    Don't obfiscate the obvious. I know now just as clear as the writing on this board where you put your true ideas of progress, and no "coloreds" need apply.

    Don't try to prove some kind of benign concern for people of color, because from all your previous words I find it preposterous.

    Maybe he can pen some kind of dreary Disney musical opus for her incompetant campaign.

    And it will now instead be called "The Lyin' King." In order to skirt any possibilities of gender controversy, this new adaptation will not be called more accurately "The Lyin' Queen." Go forward and do good works for the Clintons. That is all.

    All I'm saying about Smith is that she typifies a type of Texan that most Texans looking ahead at the 21st century would like to see relegated to the rust belt. I understand your feelings, she plainly gets a lot of people hot under the collar. I almost lost my lunch reading her stidently stubborn stuff on "tellin' it like it is," as though she were the last word on a state that I love and respect. She is not, not even by a long shot.

    It's no cakewalk being a Clinton. But those who court public attention, political mention, and fame, are often themselves, the most to blame.

    Then he asked himself

    "Oh why? oh why?"

    Then he got off the bus

    as he started to cuss

    Cos he wished above all

    that he could be like us.
