Hey, Jongs, thanks for accepting my post in the spirit it was written. I don't, honestly, I don't see what people get out of corresponding with folks they don't respect. This board used to be dominated by respectful arguments that taught me a lot about folks I would otherwise never talk to. Nowadays, well, you know...

I gotta tell ya, Jongs, judging from your posts about the honorable Senator from NY, you really haven't been talking to the far left lately. Look, I work in the arts, I live in a defacto commune, they hold their meetin's upstairs--I KNOW the far left intimately. And to them, Hilary and her husband are bought and sold, corrupt pseudo-liberals who will do anything to maintain power. Sure, there are some far lefty women who back Hilary on feminist grounds, but they're the exception, not the rule. The far left that I talk to, if they have any interest in the Republicrats, are all going for Obama on the grounds that he's the only candidate that does not represent the dang Bush/Clinton dynastic power elite. Concentration of power in the hands of the few is a big issue with the far left. That's why Nader appeals to 'em, 'cause he'll sing that song to anyone who'll listen.

Now...The left wing of the Dem Party did NOT once adore Hillary?

Pfft! Never!

Quote:
They did NOT blog and broadcast that she & Bill we're racists?

Not the far left. Are you thinking Registered Democrat = far left, here?

Quote:
They did NOT throw their money & support to a total unknown, rather than their former idols, the Clintons?

Hilary and Bill were NEVER idols of the far left to begin with. Clinton ran as a centrist! The left voted him in on the anybody-but-Bush principle.

Quote:
They did NOT rip her a new one when she went on Fox News?

Again, you gotta make a distinction between "the left" and "the far left" don't you? Or is all "left" far?

Quote:
I'm talking 'bout the George Soros money fronts like MoveOn & Daily Kos and others....how am I being clueless on this?

Was Soros a fan of the Clintons at any point? The guy's nothing if not pragmatic, he'll work with anybody if it furthers his agenda, but close up pals with Clinton? Really? And MoveOn is not, y'see, far left at all--they're just left. Maybe you're thinking "far" means "devoted?" A member of the "far left" is someone who is particularly vocal about "leftist" concerns?

No big thing; the attacks that will be coming out when the campaigns hit full swing in August-Oct are going to make everything to this point seem like a Ladies Auxilliary Tea Party.

Well, they'll have to be, 'cause ol' McCain ain't gettin' anywhere on the issues, that's for sure! Man, I'm just sorry every time I see him speak these days. Is he on serious meds or what? I'm sorry, but he reminds me of that old cartoon character, Droopy Dog--remember him?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
