(5,082 posts)Its Jeb vs Hillary in 2016. Ive been saying it since 2008 but too many overly moderate non-fighters disparage the idea because they simply haven't looked underneath the hood or seen firsthand the suffering these criminals cause. They are blinded by personality, pomp and circumstance. Fools really. Its hard to put up with their naiveté after what Ive experienced first hand but instead of offending their delicate sensibilities I try to just speak my truth. Im sure some of them directly benefit from a Hillary nomination and Im sure some are just deluded benefactors of 1% ideology. I like Liz Warren because yes I agree with her and admire her courage but it does help too that she also happens to be a woman since many people will vote for symbolism only. That didn't get us far last time. We needed a Russ Feingold, Paul Wellstone type but maybe Obama was threatened after he won the election. I believe a deal was made months before when he agreed to flip-flop on filibustering the Telecom Immunity Act and then actually even voted for it. It all reminds me of J Edgar Hoovers files on all the politicians and the honey pots and pedophilic entrapment he used to blackmail thousands of them over the years...a little NSA tech has probably made the situation exponentially worse. Maybe Obama had an affair...maybe a shady business deal...maybe an encounter with drugs that was photographed when he was younger...who knows...but dismissing the idea just makes one look like a close-minded idiot.
