Today's talk radio was all the buzz about Hillary. The sounds coming from some are tones of defeat already, just coronate Konigin des Reichs and get the firing squads over with. Hillary is going to reap fire and brimestone upon the Conservatives, Republicans, and Bill's ladies once she gets 'power'. But the election has not yet been held....thank God!!
As I told my better half, Hillary still has yet to make her Dean moment, though Terry McAuliffe is gonig to do his best to ensure that does not happen. But she will. At some point she will have to take questions from 'unscreened' average Americans as well as her political opponents, and maybe even those talk radio host she despises. At which point, the real Hillary will show and the whole game will change, just as it did with New Orleans, the annointed team...which 'fumbled' it's way out of the SuperBowl.
History is rife with giants that were feared to be faced. Goliath, Darius' Persian Army and Navy, the Roman Legions, the Tartars, the Mongols, the Nazi Army, the Imperial Japanese Navy, the American military in Vietnam and Iraq. (The later would win all fights if it were not for politicians lack of will and meddlling ways). But all of these giants were feared by the opposition until faced down and found out to be no better than themselves.
Same with politicans, they all put their pants, slacks on the same way you and I do. Just some are as Rush says - part of the lucky sperm club, or they've either clawed or convived their way into their positions. But in the end, face to face, they are no better than you dear reader. Arnold is probably the only politican that might be able to take you mano-o-mano, but the rest....what is he or she going to do without some minions doing the dirty work for them?
So don't fear any giant, but instead, plan, challenge, and face them down. Or have a good sling and stone handy and whamp them between the eyes and run like heck so you don't get squashed when they fall down.
I wrote several entries back, just at or near the end of the 2006 election, that the 2008 was going to be nasty and you better be ready for it. Sean Hannity used to say back then that the election of 2006 was the most crucial of our time, he was half right. This election will be the determining factor of the future of the United States. We will either remain a capitalist country or begin a quick sharp slide into Socialism by the 2008 election results. All the marbles this time, for our Nation has not been so divided since prior to the Civil War.
