Clinton Wants McCain to Win (I guess)

Sitting in the Diplomad retirement home, but being a "Typical White Person" (TWP) I can't resist blogging . . .

Is the Democratic Party weird or what? What has happened to the world's oldest political party? This party once produced Wilson, FDR, HST, Adlai Stevenson, JFK, LBJ, 'Scoop' Jackson, and many other notable statesmen and politicians, with whom one could agree or disagree but had to recognize as serious pro-America politicos. It has degenerated over the past 35 years or so to McGovern, Carter, Clinton(s), Gore, Spitzer, Dodd, Kerry, Edwards, and Obama/Wright. This is hardly a serious political organization for the world's most important country. And the level of discussion? Wha' happened there? "Bush lied, kids died!" "U.S. Out of Iraq!" "Tax the rich!" "Tax Oil!" "Change!" "Ready from Day One!" "Kill NAFTA!" That's it? That's how we beat the terrorists by pretending they don't exist? By retreating? "Fix" a recession by increasing taxes? By raising the price of fuel? By destroying one of the most successful trade agreements ever reached? "Ready from Day One" to do what? Do they know that we are doing quite well internationally? That despite the lefty media reporting, the USA is the predominant country in the world? That we are winning against the terrorists?

In fairness, I haven't been too impressed by some of the GOPers lately (what the heck is Ron Paul but a recycled, lightly airbrushed Lyndon LaRouche? Let's not even talk about Larry Craig) but compared to the Dems, the GOP is full of Platos, Aristotles, Lincolns, and Teddy Roosevelts. Senator McCain was not my first choice for President, nor even my second, but he's a serious individual with a record of service and sacrifice. He has put his life on the line for his country and seems willing to acknowledge and correct mistakes, e.g., on taxes and immigration, and soon I hope, on the global warming hoax. I also see politics as the art of what's possible. McCain is the most conservative candidate whom we now, today, in 2008, can elect President. Let's do that. Sorry, Ann Coulter, I do not want Hillary to win just to prove a point. I tearfully part company with you on this. The world is too dangerous for those sorts of games. I don't want these Dems, none of them, answering that 3 AM phone call.

Now, back to those Dems and their games. Contrary to what most of us thought, it appears that Obama is headed for the Democratic Party nomination. While "stuff" could still happen, such as a stunning set of primary victories for Clinton that convinces the mysterious and "MIGHTY SUPERDELEGATES" to back away from Obama and go for Clinton -- or some third person (e.g., Gore, Edwards, Rev. Wright, or George Clooney) -- Obama seems the man to beat in November. Hillary Clinton knows this. She stays in the fight either for reasons of her huge ego, or perhaps a calculation that Obama (or some other non-Hillary nominee) will come out of the process so damaged, that McCain will win big (the reverse Ann Coulter ploy) and, thus, leave Hillary open to run in 2012, by which time America "SURELY" will have tired of the GOP.

Now, back to my soft food . . .
