Politics are full of subterfuge, obfuscation and downright lies. Both parties have their experts at the process and both parties like to play the general public like they're rubes at the casino.
With that in mind, any attempt to portray Hillary Clinton as a Presidential contender is nothing more than a political sleight of hand. They'll tease the public for months, too many will believe what they read, and she'll either announce she's not running, or they'll crucify her before the nomination. At that time, they'll come up with their favored politician and start the hard sell, with half-truths and outright lies. Bill Clinton will insure she doesn't have a chance, since his ego is "smarter" than his mind.
The Democratic Party has nothing to offer, will have nothing to offer and anyone believes otherwise is as dumb as a box of rocks.
The Republican Party won't be much better; especially if the entrenched Washington denizens of the Ivory Tower continue to ignore those that can save their party.
So what do you do? Hold your nose, vote for the best of the bad choices and pay close attention to your representatives. They can be manipulated, since they have to go home; sooner or later.

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Jess too many folks just don't vote. the reason their all crooks. My parents view. Sad but true. Or they drink the kool aid of lies for the truth. How bad is Obama gotten many in his party have turned their backs on him after 6 years of his crap.
ReplyDeleteObama's legacy is of deceit, lies, waste and a disrespect of the nation that allowed him to be President. May he suffer for his indiscretions and those that helped punished.
DeleteHey Jess;
ReplyDeleteI still think that Hillery will run, this is what she has been dreaming of since those heady days of watergate. Despite Obungler stealing her "uniqueness". I don't know who else will run...Biden? You are correct, the democrats have blown their wad for this election cycle. the Stupid Party(GOP) will run somebody that will get flayed alive by the elitist and the media and if he/she gets elected, will almost be a lame duck presidency from the word "go" since that is what happend to the first 8 months of "W". I fear for this country, we have become soo divisive and that is by design we have been broken up into demographic groups and no longer have this bond of "Americans" anymore.
