It is a fight unlike any that has ever been experienced in the history of America.
Racial and gender biased slurs are being hurled in all directions. Nasty pictures are surfacing. The media is being used to stab each participant in the back. Lies are circulating like the rising California air currents during Santa Ana season, and the worst part of it all is this fight is occurring within the Democratic Party. The Democrats still have yet to encounter the Republicans.
No one will discount the fact that this race for the White House is extremely critical;however, what is the overall cost to the Democrats? After all, the credibility of both candidates has come under intense scrutiny, so much to the fact that neither Clinton nor Obama may be able to stand against McCain in the general election.
This election cycle has led to an ugly series of infighting within the ranks of the Democratic Party. Indeed, a truly nasty detraction that may serve to the benefit of the Republican Party in the general election. This is not to mention that the Republican Party has enlisted some of it operatives to vote in the Democratic primaries in an attempt to slant the nomination in a certain direction. We can call this action "Cybergate", for it is truly the Internet incarnation of "Watergate".
Where is the Democratic Party going wrong? The answer is not as easy as it may appear. First, the Democratic Party is so eager to beat the Republicans that they are overlooking the fundamental signals of a possible conspiracy. Secondly, the Democratic Party is allowing itself to get wrapped up in race and gender. Forget the fact that Hillary Clinton is an American Female, and forget the fact that Barack Obama is an African American. Both candidates have one quality in common, that being the fact that they are both "Americans", and that should be the only moniker that matters.
Bottom line is this, if the Democratic Party is to be successful in the general election, the Democratic Party must cease the internal sniping at one another and pull together as a party with its focus on one goal, that goal being what is right for this country. Should the Democratic Party fail to accomplish that simple objective, America will suffer another four years at the hands of the Republicans.
America cannot handle another four years of Republican leadership. America is on the brink of a recession, and total financial collapse. Four more years of Republican leadership will place the proverbial nail into our nation's coffin.

Smoke & Mirrors
Super Tuesday Part II occurred on March 4, 2008. This event was classified as Hillary Clinton's last chance to save her campaign. We followed the process leading up to March 4, 2008.
We witnessed as the Clinton campaign tried every negative smear tactic in the Republican hand book in an attempt to derail the Obama train.
We observed as Hillary Clinton conspired with people like Tavis Smiley, and Todd Schnitt in an attempt to slander Obama in the media.
We observed as the Clinton campaign posted what they considered to be an atom bomb of a picture in an attempt to sway the more racially motivated voters in America.
We listened to the ranting and raving lies of a desperate woman during the debates.
We over heard Mike Gallagher say that the Republicans were planing to vote democrat and for Hillary in an attempt to muddy the waters.
In short, we watched one negative attack after another. Trouble is, the attacks did not work; indeed, the failed miserably. Although Hillary won Rhodes Island, Ohio, and the Texas primaries, she still trails Obama by approximately 100 Delegates. In other words, she won and lost at the same time. Hillary's negative attacks backfired on her. Kind of like the way Bill's rump through the south backfired on her.
Hillary is counting on one factor, that not many people will look beyond her history of backdoor politics. What Hillary failed to account for is the fact that people are a lot smarter than they were 8 to 16 years ago. Hillary Clinton is incapable of running a clean campaign, and must resort to lies and dirty tricks to win. When those fail, she relies on the Republicans to give her a boost. Please America, vote wisely. If you vote for Hillary, do so because you truly believe in Hillary. If you vote for Obama, do so because you truly believe in Obama. If you are Republican, Stay The Hell Away From The Democratic Candidates. We know you are afraid of Obama, and that is why you want Hillary to win the nomination.
Let me say this to the Republicans, do not underestimate the resolve of the Democratic party. You taint our nomination process, and regardless of whom gets our nomination, we will still take it to your butt in the General Election. Just a public service announcement from "The People Who Are Sick And Tired Of Republican Lies".

They Are Afraid, They Are Very Afraid
When we think of the Republican party, we envision strength, leadership, firmness, fearlessness. Very rarely have we associated fear with the Republican party, until now.
The Republican front runner, and -from the looks of things- nominee is John McCain. Thus far the Democratic nominee is still up in the air, but the Republican nominee appears to be locked. It is not a secret that John McCain does not give the Republican party that warm and fuzzy feeling they have come to expect from maybe a Mitt Romney, or a Mike Huckabee. McCain is more of a liberal Republican as opposed that the extreme right wingers that the party has come to know and love. Never the less, McCain is becoming the Republican poster child for the general election in November 2008.
That should not be a problem for the Republican party, right? After all, the Democrats have failed to field anything viable since 1992. For all intensive purposes, the general election should be a walk in the he park for the Republican party; however, they failed to give early enough credit to a political dark horse. Seems the Republicans did not take into account the "David of The Democrats". Fact of the matter is, most Republicans regarded Barack Obama as nothing more than a mere passing fad, a simple bit of dust in the wind. They gave his campaign little if any thought until they realized that Barack Obama was eating into their core demographics. Suddenly the lights came on, and the Republican party began to realize that they are beatable.
Comparing notes, the Republicans became aware that John McCain lacks the charismatic style of Barack Obama, does not have the ability to motivate like Barack Obama, and will simply have a rough battle against Barack Obama. In the eyes of the Republican party, their best chance for winning the general election rests in the Democratic party nominating Hillary Clinton.
During a recent interview with Mike Gallagher, host of the conservative radio talk show The Mike Gallagher Show, several registered Texas Republicans are casting early votes for Hillary Clinton to help her get the Democratic nomination. They are doing so because, in the eyes of the Republican party, Hillary is a lot easier to beat than Barack Obama.
In short America, the GOP is afraid to go toe to toe against Barack Obama. They have not ammunition credible enough to combat Barack Obama. Because of this fact, the Republicans are setting out to muddy the waters of the Democratic primaries. Call it 21st Century Water Gate if you may.
For my friends who respond in the AOL forums, please keep in mind that some of the "Go Hillary" posts may very well be Republicans trying to get the ire up in the Democratic party. Just as with all typical Republicans, they are playing on your emotions and your fears. Don't' believe the hype.
