I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president:
From Molly Ivins: Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone. This is not a Dick Morris election. Sen. Clinton is apparently incapable of taking a clear stand on the war in Iraq, and that alone is enough to disqualify her. Her failure to speak out on Terri Schiavo, not to mention that gross pandering on flag-burning, are just contemptible little dodges.
And now a year later in the WaPo Hillary announces - LIKE IT'S A GOOD THING - she won't use public funds!!!:
By opting out of the system, Clinton will be able to spend as much money as she can raise, both for the primaries and for the general election, rather than being forced to abide by strict spending limits imposed by the Federal Election Commission on candidates who accept public financing.
Both Molly Ivins and William Rivers Pitt have their fingers on the pulse of progressives. We are exasperated by MSD's lack of values and their bottom line mentality. Ivins in her recent column: "I'd like to make it clear to the people who run the Democratic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president." I yiped with glee at having my own thoughts and feelings articulated and validated!
Ivins contines: "I listen to people like Rahm Emanuel superciliously explaining elementary politics to us clueless naifs outside the Beltway ("First, you have to win elections").
