CANDIDATES BACK OFF OF RACE
Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama stepped back from a controversy over race Monday night, agreeing that a prolonged clash over civil rights could harm their party's overall drive to win the White House.
How nice. Hillary and Obama are going to play nice. The world is now a better place, we all love each other. How about a national group hug?
Give me a break. That whole issue was so over blown that is bordered on lunacy. Grwon adults, who want to be president of the United States arguing over who has the right to even mention Martin Luther King and what words are racial code words.
This is your Democratic Party. The Clintons keep wanting to have this on going national discussion on race. It consumes their lives as if it is the most important issue in the universe of ideas.
Discussion on race: The world is made up of people of different races. Can’t we all just get along. End of discussion. Easy. Simple. But not to a Democrat. They are like that Lamb Chop song- This is the song that never ends…
Now this argument on race is kept alive by certain people in order for them to retain some semblance of relevance. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton come to mind, but they are not the only ones by a long shot.
Anyone who fell for that racial canard over the weekend has as much business voting as Clinton and Obama have being the President. They Demonstrated to the nation that the Democratic Party is petty and ridiculous. It is made of children, not adults.
I had respect for Mr. Obama until this. Now I lump him in with all of the other Democrats. None should ever hold high office again. It is not that they are incapable of governing, it is that they are incapable of thinking.
