Kerry /Edwards '04- Smoke and Mirrors- What the Clintons Want

All right..........the DNC is all over with now. The hahooing and gladhanding is pretty much over. The news media complex can now go ahead and change their shorts and quit getting so excited over all of this crap. The candidates and every person connected to politics can now quit being stars. My God, did you see the people they dug up to analyze and comment?? What does Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin and Rob Reiner know about politics besides what letter comes after John Kerry's name? Give me a break. Talk about rolling out corpses and other such sundry dead bodies. This should have been Howard Dean's convention, or Ralph Nader's for that matter. These guys were Deaniacs in the beginning before that Titanic sank. Think that the Clintons had something to do with that? Kerry was irrelevant in the beginning of the Democratic primaries, and suddenly the Democrat machine realized they needed a loser to get the vote for Hillary in '08. I smell a conspiracy here.

With all the new information coming out about the doubts of John Kerry's war record, it will be a tough sell to the middle undecideds that Kery is a worthy Presidential candidate. It's no mystery to me where all this information is coming from. In my opinion, I believe the floodgates were opened up after the DNC probably purposely NOT by the Republicans, but by some undermining influence from the Clinton camp to sink this boat before it gets out of dock. It's a slam-dunk fact that Hilary wants to run in '08, and it will be hard to do so with an incumbent Democrat in the White House. By taking Kerry out now, the threat of any opposition from a Democrat in '08 will grease the way so much better for Hilary. Her voting record has been padded by making flowing votes with the mainstream on the war with Iraq, and sending troops, sending funding and ect. It was happenstance that she was a senator in NY when 9/11 happened. She got hemmed in to making those votes to the positive, but it ended not hurting her in the end.

Howard Dean was the far better moderate and better chance at a Democratic win, as was Clark. Where did Kerry fit into all of this? He was a non factor from the beginning. So why did Kerry get the nod? Probably for the reason of making a weak ticket in '04 and setting up Hilary. It was an opportunity with the 9/11 attacks the Clintons could NOT pass up. Smart moves and a little greasing made the Democratic candidate in '04 Kerry and not a strong moderate like Dean. No competition. And it hides the fact that runaway Liberals like Hilary are really shooting for the White House in '08. She wanted a few more years in the Senate to build up her career and give her some credibility. Smart smart move.

The Clinton camp most definitely has an agenda. Look at Bill Clinton's "Legacy Buildinig" he has been doing. Do you really think it would end with him? Pushing Hilary to the White House is a fantastic way to seal the Clinton Legacy for good. Why couldn't Bill be Vice-President? You might argue he was Vice from '92 to '00. Maybe? Maybe. I believe Bill wouldn't take it as a punch in the mouth to be Vice. It would put him in a powerful position again, which is what he likes. Read the book "Primary Colors". It was modeled after Clinton. Bill's whole life is about politics. He can't stay out of the political arena forever.

This whole sham of Kerry/Edwards in '04 is simply a precursor to the Big Show in '08. With no Democratic President in '08 to run against, no incumbency factor to worry about, Hilary is set up to either dig her grave or shine. And that is what this whole year in politics comes down to. The smokescreen has been thrown up to hide the real political moves on the Clinton camp side. With so much controversy and muddling of the waters going on, it would be impossible to know the real moves being taken by the Clintons. All of the focus goes to Kerry, and his flipflopping, and his problems instead of the furtive steps being taken by the Clintons to seize the brass ring in 4 years. Perfect strategy on the Clintons' part.

The catchphrase this year seems to be "ABB", or Anybody But Bush. There is no real backing for Kerry. He is simply the choice that the Democrats threw up for people to grasp onto. Ask anyone on the street who votes Democrat, and the overwhelming answer will be "Well, anyone BUT Bush is better........" A political party cannot win if that is the case. The Republicans did that in '96 with Dole, and it failed horribly. The Republican voters were really not behind Dole, and they just wanted anyone but Clinton. It is practical suicide to run a campaign on that premise. Bush will defeat Kerry if this is the prevailing feeling coming from the Democrats in this country.

So now we get to gear up for the questions and the acusations that will inevitably come to Kerry's doorstep. The evidence so far is pretty overwhelming that Kerry is nothing more than a paper hero as far as his record goes. How many medal winners do you know that tout their achievements publicly? Not very many. Most just look at their achievements as duty, and not worthy of praise or adoration. Kerry shammed his record out to make himself look good for his later ascention in the political realm, and to make his time in Vietnam a short and easy tour. Very sad, and very despicable.

Remember what this year is all about politically. It's about more smoke and mirrors, more misdirection and more of the same old same old. It hasn't changed in a hundred years, and there is no reason it will change any time soon. Watch the Clintons in the coming months, they will fade completely out into obscurity until '07, then they will make a suprising comeback.

John Who?? Wasn't his initials JFK also? John F. Kerry. Loser in '04.
