No mas.....
Thank you for making my point. Everybody attains high positions due to something…family connections, bowlegged swagger, war heroism, being kinda, not quite, just enough to provide cover for otherwise kneejerk racists..... black. But, in all honesty, having any kind of satisfying or meaningful discussion on these blogs is almost impossible. It’s a one liner medium. (Generic) you make a comment stating a view that is opposite one held by (generic) me. Do (generic) I say, “hmmm, that’s interesting, let (generic) me explore that further?” Of course not. (Generic) I see it as an opening to show how clever (generic) I can be in slamming (generic) you with something profound like “Yo Dimwit, you (generic, of course) can’t be that f #*&%@ g stupid!”
Now back to earth…….
We’ll probably never know if Hillary’s gender is a plus or minus. We do know that the Clintons were specifically targeted for destruction by right wing forces going back to Bill’s Governor Days. Countless millions of dollars were poured into a noxious campaign to discredit and/or destroy a young, handsome, Progressive Southerner who had an upward moving, bright future. They were going to nip it in the bud.
Now I hope we all can agree that it’s the media that decides who makes it and who doesn’t (Ronald Reagan, George Bush….Yes. Al Gore, John Dean…No) so when the cry (pretext) goes out, “Hillary is too polarizing,” is she really? Was it she, or was it the media that proclaimed it, and we just bought into it.
Anyway, just a long winded way of saying, “nice chatting with you…….see ya.”
