Race in Politics

Many in the Republican Party feel the only chance of keeping the White House is for Hillary Clinton to win the democratic nomination.  In my humble opinion the DEMS on paper should control house, senate and the presidency based on the poor job the republicans have done.  However, the savior of the 2008 elections for the GOP may in fact be Hillary Clinton. 

 

Obama is giving her a run for the money. He is articulate, likeable, and seems to have a grasp for the social issues that are important to many Americans.  Since his rise to prominence he is increasing under attack by the Clinton machine.  The Clinton strategy seems to be to divide the party by playing the race card.  Obviously Hillary and gang are too smart to simply say he is black, inexperienced and therefore unelectable.  Instead they have there cronies make statements referring to his drug use as a young man and questioning his electability.   Mr. Hillary (Bill) referred to Obama’s run for president as a “fairy tale”.  The result is predictable, whites are gravitating to Hillary and blacks are rallying around Obama.  I am a registered Republican.  I do not plan on voting for either Hillary or Obama.  Yet, when I watch the innuendos being levied at Obama, I wonder how the Clinton camp can sleep soundly at night.

 

The good news for Republicans is that if Hillary wins the nomination she will not only polarize the Republican Base, but she will have alienated many black voters because of her unwarranted attacks on Obama’s personal life and past. Go Hillary!!

 

To prevent this from happening in the future let’s disqualify anyone from running for office that has ever tried drugs, tried alcohol while underage, broken any laws or said anything that can be considered racist, bigoted, or sexist.  I suspect the 3-year-old we choose will do a much better job of running the country than most.
