Well wait a second, the last time I checked no one was asking for self-mutilation were they? And what's with the "he would doom every race on the ticket" speak? I thought this was America; no one can stop you from achieving your dreams, blah, blah, blah...
Ford then clarified by adding that he had been “swayed” by calls from former President Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton.
Hmm, curious minds would like to know what the plantation Master and Mrs. had to say during that little pep talk.
There was also a nasty little development that appears to have swayed Ford's colleague State Senator Darrell Jackson. According to published reports Hillary “bribed”, I mean uh – “purchased”, no wait – “paid for”, nope – “earned” Jackson's "endorsement" for a price tag of $10,000 a month for the next 21 months. (That's $210,000 for those you educated by American Federation of Teachers.)
Interestingly enough no mention of this was disclosed when Ford and Jackson made their announcements of endorsement this week. Further, I'm still very curious why someone who "loves Obama" would begin thinking it would be suicide to vote for him.
The truth is African American voters almost indescribably loved William Jefferson Clinton. They found him to be funny, flawed, and ultimately forgivable. But Hillary is no Bill. Her mean countenance and demeanor are anything but warm, and while she is inestimably safer around interns of the opposite sex than her husband, she is anything but friendly. In fact she comes across in nearly every venue as an exact representation of what she is - cold, strategic, hot tempered, and ultimately unpleasant to be with.
Barack Obama, though I disagree with nearly every policy position he holds, is every bit as strategic as Hillary. He is also a nicer, smiling, individual who for his severely misguided policies appears to love his wife and his beautiful little girls.
Hillary is in a pickle. She knows it.
She is the mean plantation madam who believes the slaves will love her more if she has them punished thrice daily, and she will resort to philosophical lynchings, intellectual rape, and rhetorical beatings to get it done. |
