Bickering Bozo's

"We're only on our fourth state, and the race is filled with nonstop bickering. Yes, that's the norm for a primary - but, this year, nearly every major Democratic consituency (sic) seems to be turning against another.

In Nevada, it was the unions. The Nevada Teachers Union sued the state Democratic party to try to shut down new at-large districts that it believed unfairly favored the Culinary Workers Union, which supported Obama. (The teachers didn't endorse, but the union president was a Clinton supporter.)

The purporse of moving up the date of the Nevada Caucus was to have more African-American and Latino voters involved in the process early on. The at-large districts were set up long before the Culinary Workers' endorsement of Obama, in order to make voting easier for these groups.

Yet the teachers union sought to shut down these districts - which would've effectively disenfranchised minority voters. Fortunately, it lost.

The weeks after Obama's win in Iowa saw a disturbing race battle that pitted blacks against the Clintons - and even, at one point, feminists against blacks. Gloria Steinem penned a Times Op-Ed that made many excellent points but, unfortunately, made the erroneous and unhelpful claim that it's harder to be a woman presidential candidate than a black presidential candidate."

Interesting how the Dems seem to disremember all of their campaign platforms come time to beg and scrape for votes. Fighting for the "little-guy", enfranchising minority voters, backing unions to the hilt (see writers-strike), empowering black people and women, all forgotten when the brass ring is seemingly within reach.

Seeing video clips of Bill Clinton madly gesticulating with his infamous pointed finger at reporters who'd dare ask why he was against letting the culinary workers vote at their places of employment, and hearing him shout himself hoarse while screaming down the opposition was a thing to behold. A very, very, scary thing. Sure, most of us would give a lot to be on the receiving end of a Blowjob Billy finger-poke ("Don't worry Mr. President the splint can come off in a couple weeks"), but we're not the poor, downtrodden, weak and meek that he and his dirty wife claim to be in love with.
