Ablogination

After Barack Obama routs Hillary in four state caucuses and primaries, and is cruising to a win in the Maine caucuses, Hillary starts swinging the ax. Patti Doyle, it seems, will be the first to lay her head on the chopping block as the Queen has invoked her wrath….

You knew it was coming. The distaste that progressive Democrats and Liberals have for political dynasties and Oligarchy is spreading rapidly, thank God.

The Clinton campaign has begun to wither, and with it, the wall Hillary Clinton has been hiding behind.
It’s not mismanagement. It’s not Doyle.
It’s Hillary. It’s Bill, it’s the Clinton name and the chin-deep Washington insidership it represents.
It was not that there was one less rally than might have been. Nor one less ad, or phone call.
Just look at the money that was raised, there was no error in management.
Americans are tired of this shit. That’s what this is about.

Hillary is not gone yet by any stretch of the imagination. There are still states and Super delegates to contend with.
But the decline has begun and it will most likely continue.

It’s not your staff, Hillary. It’s you.

It’s that boneyard in your closet. It’s White Water, it’s Blackwater, it’s the DLC, Will Marshall, the PNAC, Mark Penn, Bill, your close ties to the Bush family, your voting record, the WAR!!….

….it’s the corporatism, stupid!!

The Democratic party is changing and you missed the bus, babe. We’re tired of this same old shit, over and over and over again. Decade in and decade out, with exceptions of course, it’s basically the same old shit.
We’re tired of scraping you career politicians off the bottoms of our shoes. We’ve been let down and lied to and fed with false hope for the last fucking time.

The Democratic party cannot win an election without the Left. Like us or not, that’s the way it is. Harold Ford Jr. found that out the hard way.
And we just don’t trust you, Hillary.
We’re tired of being lied to by Right-Leaning “Centrists". Your husband used us, now you’re trying to do exactly the same thing.
We demanded that Joe Lieberman be shown the door. We voted him out. You stepped in and began swift-boating the Democratic Left. You, Bill and all your DLC kind.
We remember things like that. That’s why MoveOn and PDA endorsed Obama, because we told them to.
In case you missed it, Hillary, MoveOn “owns the Democratic Party". And we own them.

It’s not Doyle, it’s you. You’re not right for the job. You still have a shot, but it gets longer every day. And while you try to create a soap opera around something a talking head bellowed out on TV, Barack Obama is taking your votes.

Don’t go changin’.
