Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    consider the possibilities

    Has anyone considered what could happen if there was another staged terrorism event in America during the general election?

    If that happened and Obama was the nominee, the Democrats would have a candidate who (a) is a black man (Black Panthers, Black Muslims, Weather Underground etc.) (b) has the second name Hussein (Saddam Hussein) (c)has a Muslim father(d)spent part of his childhood being educated in Indonesia, home of South East Asian terrorism and (e) has had longstanding links to a church where the pastor gives hate speeches against whites and Jews. I'm sure Barack Obama doesn't see himself as a patsy but in the right circumstances he could be a gift to the Republicans and that certainly explains the dream run he's had with the right wing media hacks and why those same hacks attack Hillary Clinton at every opportunity. There are no depths to which the Republicans will not sink to prevent the Democrats getting control of the White House. One person said that 11% of Americans think 'Bush did 9/11'. In fact one poll showed that 73% of Americans think that and it's easy, looking at the facts, to see why they think that. Yes, it can be dismissed as a conspiracy theory but a recent discussion in Australia on the ABC (much the same as the BBC) website had comment running at around 80% not believing the official story. Bear in mind that Joe Lieberman was a Republican plant at the highest levels of the Democratic party. There must have been a time when saying such a thing would have met with total disbelief in Democrat circles. He was almost Vice-President. I think it's highly unlikely that he's the only plant.
