That was a bad link. can you provide another

Consider the current several comments on MYDD which dismiss entirely the eighteen million who voted for Hillary Clinton. These intransigent Obama-nots wonder why Clinton supporters yet arrive in masses to witness speeches given by the Clintons, rather than arriving as de facto supporters of Obama/Biden.

They yet wonder why these eighteen million–a greater number, officially, than any other presidential candidate in the primaries, including Barack Obama, in United States political history–simply retain their passion for the Clintons.

Therein lies the tragedy. And it was the very same tragedy for George Walker Bush. The “true believers” simply could not compromise, much less accommodate and certainly not assimilate.

For GWB, this spelled a disastrous Presidency long before he took the Oath of Office. It never occurred to GWB, much less his fervent supporters, that Al Gore had bested him in the popular vote, that at best the Florida election results were a wash, and that the only way to govern successfully was to make some overtures to the other side.

The GWB supporters, in and outside of the MSM, remained myopic through the 2000 and 2004 close elections–and throughout his Presidency, whether driving fear after 9/11 to win the masses over, or simply ignoring the reality of the GWB administration’s obviously failing economic policies and diplomatic initiatives.

Initially, the MSM sold GWB as being “folksy,” rather than “alpha-male striving intellectually aloof Al Gore,” then, following 9/11, GWB was sold as a testosterone-driven “protector of America.”

That scenario worked until the Iraq War offensive went terribly awry, thus paving the way for a Pelosi-Reid takeover of Congress, proving itself to be every bit as inept as the GWB Presidency itself.

When the MSM realized that Hillary would be the inevitable winner of the 2008 Presidency–economic forces would propel her there much as they are now doing so for Barack Obama–the MSM declared all-out war on all things Clintons.

Aided and abetted by the Howard Dean/Nancy Pelosi/Caroline and Ted Kennedy wing of the Democratic Party, in effect these anti-Clinton forces shut down the election process, anointing the then unsaleable (in virtually all key swing states) Obama in June–when it was obvious that Hillary could well prevail at the Democratic Convention itself.

Now, of course, without the eighteen million Clinton voters casting ballots his way, of course Obama would be going nowhere near the White House.

But the Obama-nots are oblivious to this fact–they believe that their Messiah needs no one else. He just spiritually and metaphysically gets wherever he wants to go. It is much the same mypoic vision and irrational perspective that the GWB supporters had for their folksy, testosterone driven, bigger-than-his-Texas President. And that, in the end of course, spelled disaster not only for him but for the whole of this country as well.

Yes, President Obama will be his supporters’ (in and out of the MSM) Messiah, until of course, it becomes obvious that he was ever clueless.

For example, any obverser will note that candidate Obama on the current campaign trail, has virtually absorbed Senator Clinton’s proposals and solutions–which he once vociferously mocked.

That is why the Clinton economic, health care, and foreign policy staffers, by the grace of Senator Clinton, all have been rendered rather graciously to Senator Obama. And that includes the tried-and-proven Robert Rubin and Paul Krugman (the recent Nobel laureate in economics whose 2003 THE GREAT UNRAVELING revealed just how myopic and wrong the Bush administration was, even while the MSM and his supporters kept on fawning).

Of course, the Obama-nots will never understand those Clinton gifts. Once fully empowered, they will likely become as myopic and wrong-headed as the worst of the GWB doting masses.

This is why I believe that the Clinton years will soon enough be viewed as America’s last Golden Age. This was the last time in the United States when practical considerations and common sense, rather than lethal ideologies, ruled for the public good.

The Clinton team sought after genuine solutions and embraced divergent political views in the process. Thus, America reached the millennium financially solvent, with a real surplus, and essentially at peace with much of the rest of the world.

Today, the United States has few world friends, and its economy is in free-fall. Now, the MSM has embraced the most clueless of all political neophytes. After all, Barack Obama was the tool by which the MSM defeated the Clintons.

Alas, in the end, it was the United States itself which was defeated. Now one group of ideologue-driven, myopic true-believers will replace another. Gone are the middle-of-the-road representatives who seek for practical solutions.

Yes. the MSM has had its way once more, defeating the Clintons so that the next group of clueless politicos follow the last group.

Pity the poor United States. Now we are likely in irreparable decline. We know from history that all empires fall. The tragedy is that ours met with so ignominious an end.

At this point, there are people in focus groups saying they think that Obama was actually in the Weather Underground with Dr. Ayers, but are still voting for him because McCain scares them more. That’s a hell of a thing.

These people are reptilian.
