Hillary is being (has been) thrust upon us
hoi polloi dems by "the kingmakers" as our star 2008 candidate - whether we like it or not. I do NOT. As Sundance said, "who the hell these guys", and do why they have the right to choose my next presidential candidate before any information about other people are made available to the public? (Does this sound like an Andy Rooney rant?) And no, I do not want Hillary, but that doesn't nullify the question.
See below fold
Does anybody remember a republican primaries competitor to Bush in 2000 that seemed actually qualified to be president? McCain, or something? And didn't he actually seem to be winning? Then poof! he disappeared. Now we know that he was sort of "swift boated" by the the Rove gang - BUT on whose authority? There were "kingmakers" on their side that decided that Bush was their boy, and what's-his-face had to go. (Please avoid comments as to why, that is not the subject of the diary.) So, the repug kingmakers gave the world a major a catastrophy.
Who are thses "Hillary" guys? A consortium of media and party elite? Why would Hillary "lunch" repeatedly with Rupert Murdoch? To call off the Fox dogs? Or sic them on challengers? The same party elite that kept "good old Joe"
in the club. Why Hillary? A moderate winable? Name power?
Who "they" are is not really the point of this diary, either. The point is - DON'T LET EM DO IT, KOSSACKS!
Let's unite with MoveOn and all the Grassroots rabble rousers and a message that WE are the kingmakers - Not the media or the party. Let's start nominating candidates now,
and head "them" off at the pass.
