Politics Of Destruction
March 21, 2008
It seems that NONE are exempt. If you candidate is Obama trash Hillary. If your candidate is Hillary smear Obama. If your candidate is McCain disparage him. If your candidate didn’t make it to the final round, trash them all (can you say El Rusbo and his campaign of chaos?). What is productive in destructive-chaotic politics. What ever happened to supporting your candidate in a positive way and laying off all the anger rhetoric?
And anyone who is associated with a candidate gets trashed as well- some deserving (can you say Jeremiah Wright?), and some not (can you say Bill Richardson?).
Hillary and team has been going after the endorsement of Bill Richardson for what it might mean to the Hispanic vote in America. But, Bill came out in favor of Obama today so what does Penn (Hillary promoter) have to say? Richardson’s endorsement means nothing, Bill is history! The state of our nation politically speaking is not good at all!
At the top of the trash the oppositon is none other than that “Great American”- Sean Hannity!
How is it that we now define “great Americans” as those who peddle in destructive politics? I know he’s upset that a die-hard conserevative didn’t make it. I know he’s disappointed that Mitt Romeny didn’t make it- so was I. But are those reasons to make politics so personal and damaging that few want to enter the fray for fear of the name-calling and innuendo?
In an Op-Ed article headlined “The Speech: A Brilliant Fraud,” Krauthammer acknowledges that Obama condemned Rev. Wright’s inflammatory remarks as “wrong and divisive” — without specifying the remarks he was referring to. So? So that’s reason to dump everything in the laudry room in his lap. If the Democrats don’t step in and stop the slaughter that’s going on amongst themselves, there wont’ be anough meat on the bones of Obama to give McCain any sort of run for his money.
As an article in the Politico said, “One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning. Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead in pledged delegates. That means the only way she wins is if Democratic superdelegates are ready to risk a backlash of historic proportions from the party’s most reliable constituency.”
Ah, but this is the year to nail anyone and everyone who isn’t with you! Maybe this will be the year that the politics of destruction ends. Probably not!

[…] when it is Bill versus “other Democrats” it is an abject failure. Democrats are now looking in the mirror and seeing the “Clinton myth” and it’s not a pretty picture at all. The latest […]
