I am appalled that the Democratic Party Leaders have allowed the Clinton's to disrupt the party with their vicious attacks on Senator Barack Obama...a fellow Democrat. Hillary and Bill are a mean, ugly pair
The Clinton's are destroying the all-inclusive spirit of the party and it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for Hillary if she get the nomination. I'd rather see a Republican in the White House and live with the possibility of having to suffer another 4 years of hardship then to support the Clinton's. The way they are conducting themselves currently says a lot to me. They have shown me they cannot be trusted. They have shown me how very mean and ruthless they can be. They have confirmed what I'd heard Right-Wing talkshow hosts say again and again. That is, they will destroy who ever they need to destroy and do what ever they need to do, no matter how wrong, to get what they want. And right now, Hillary wants to be President...not for the sake of the Country...but for her own ego...and Bill owes it to her. So the mean team is trying to accomplish this by any means necessary...no matter how they hurt the party in the process.
I got news for the Clinton's. There are more smart, independant-thinking African-American voters then the uncle Tom surragates they have out there rallying their cause. It is easy to get someone who needs something from you to say you are the greatest. It is easy to support the popular one. It takes courage to support what is right...who is right...Barack Obama.
At least with the Republicans I know what I am getting and I am not under any illusions.
I am even more insulted that the Clinton's pretend to be for minorities and the Black community. It hurts me that so many of my African-American brothers and sisters are slaves to a sense of loyalty for Bill Clinton and cannot see how he is today pimping our people to get his wife elected.
I too was a Bill Clinton fan and mentioned to friends on more than one occassion how I would love to lead a "Bring Bill Back: campaign for '08. That was before I began to look at what some of the other candidates had to offer and before I got to see how ugly, deceptive and dirty the Clinton's can be. Talk about unpresidential.
Furthermore, How could they be for what I believe in if they unapologetically set out to destroy a good Black Leader--Barack Obama and fellow Democrat, and(2) intentionally use other Blacks help them destroy this Black man. The strategy--to confuse Black voters--may work on some...but not most. Most voting-aged, Black folk can identify an uncle Tom and will not put any stock in their advice. We are clear that the Uncle Tom is speaking for massa...and not in my best interest or that of the people. This entire episode lead by the Clintons saddens me.
