Let Me Get This Straight - Clinton Starts A Civil War,Then Claims Only She Can Bring Us Together?
Advertisements [?]
This Clinton move should be familiar to any democratic leaders who’ve been around awhile. It’s the classic Clinton triangulation — and it’s a preview of what we’ll get if she is our President. Her back is against the wall, so she takes a hard right and starts parroting a republican viewpoint that goes against the democratic platform (i.e., “tough” foreign policy) to try to drum up a little panic, and in the next breath talks about putting Obama on her ticket. She uses republican talking points to smack the “liberal” wing of the democratic party, polarizes the party into fierce factions, and then offers up the “comprimise” — her on top of the ticket. And superdelegates feel like they might not like it, but it’s the best way to prevent the civil war that Clinton herself fomented.

On these grounds alone, she should be disqualified. I'm not going to stand for being played by Clinton into compromising. She doesn't get to beat me with a metal pipe and then offer me a bandaid and claim the mantle of "healer."

I'm sorry. I'm not that fucking stupid.
