Inevitability

That is the word that has been thrown around all campaign season long: inevitability. Initially, the MSM used it to describe Clinton. They started this meme about her, that she was the inevitable candidate, a phrase she NEVER used, then they began to attack her for it. They created it; they attacked it. They have gone after her day after day, month after month, for a concept not of her own choosing. So, after they beat her down mercilessly, they began to glorify one of her opponents, and not just anyone, but Obama. Notice they did NOT do this for ANYONE else, even though there were FAR more qualified opponents on that stage than Obama.

So, the MSM began to build Obama up while simultaneously attempting to destroy Clinton, allowing all of his past associations, and incredibly poor judgment, to be glossed over because he made one speech in 2002, in which he claimed he was against the war to a very select audience. They talked incessantly about his desire to bring Hope and Change to the country without EVER looking at his record, or asking why he had never chaired his subcommittee on European, NATO, and Afghnanistan Affairs, the very committee charged with oversight of a country in which we are currently at war. They uncritically touted his book about his father without ever looking into the VERACITY of his claims, or who his father really was in terms of character (a drunk abusive polygamist who died from drunk driving, and whose coffin was NOT draped in the American Flag as Obama recently claimed). They never looked into how he actually grew up - fairly well to do family who sent him to the most exclusive private school in Hawaii. They never looked into his relationships to Chicago politics, Rezko, Ayers, or Auchi, never mind the contemptible sermons by his pastor/friend. They just never looked into ANY Of it.

The MSM set him up on a pedestal all while loking at every single thing Clinton did through the narrowest of lenses in order to attack, attack, attack on the slightest provocation. Sure, she made a mistake talking about Bosnia, but Obama has LIED about a NUMBER of things in his past, NONE of which have received the type of scrutiny Clinton's one misstep got. How about his recent claim that he has been to 57 states? 57 states! You know DAMN well that if Clinton OR McCain had said ANYTHING like that, the MSM would be ALL OVER THEM. They would say this proved Clinton was delusional and that McCain is too old, already suffering from Alzheimers or something. Or when he completely repeated an entire story 10 minutes after having told it? They would be talking about it every single day all day long, hammering away that if they cannot take the pressures of campaigning, how in the WORLD are they going to be able to take the pressures of the WHITE HOUSE?? But Obama? Oh, the poor baby is just tired from campaigning! Leave Barry Alone!!!! He's tired, and just misspoke!! It has been a long hard grueling process, and he is just worn out! Now, leave him alone and let him nap!!!

So, the MSM claimed Clinton thought she was inevitable, and tore her down for it, demanding she should get out of the race for having the audacity, the arrogance, to think she was the presumptive nominee. She didn't, and millions of us have supported her. NOW, they are claiming that Obama is the presumptive nominee, the inevitable winner, and Clinton should get out of the race, it's all over. Just move along, little lady, and let the men-folk talk now. In other words, they set her up, attacked her, promoted a lesser qualified candidate over her, have talked about his inevitablity, and now attack her for having the AUDACITY to stay in the race. She is truly damned if she does, damned if she doesn't by the MSM, Obama, and the DNC. I have never seen anything like it - how the MSM treated Bush v. Gore pales in comparison. And it makes me angry. It makes me sick. It makes me sad that the most qualified candidate is being treated like an annoying little gnat because she is not kowtowing to the demands of the largely male calls for her to get the hell out already. How dare they?? How dare the MEDIA frame our narrative instead of allowing the PEOPLE to decide?? How dare the DNC skew the primaries to prop up Obama while tearing down Clinton?? How dare people like Teddy Kennedy INSULT her as being incapable of the nobler aims of the American people like OBAMA is, the one who associates with a KNOWN TERRORIST?? How is THAT noble?!?! Or comparing Clinton to a psychotic, murderous woman by another Obama associate is noble HOW???

I am sick of this. Sick of it. I am sick of the misogyny. Sick of the DNC. Sick of the way the Media have co-opted this process and driven their narrative. I am sick of the constant calls for the only viable woman candidate to drop out of race that no man has EVER been asked to leave when she is essentially tied, and I am FURIOUS that they think they can just stick some other woman into the VP slot and appease all of us little women, as if we are INTERCHANGEABLE!!! "Oh, what the hell, just put McCaskill (blech) or Sebelius (BORING) or Napolitano in there - they won't know the difference and they'll flock right on back as long as there is a woman on the ticket!! It's not like Obama would actually have to interact with her or anything! It'll make the women folk happy again and they'll joyfully give us their vote, forgetting all about that nasty Clinton woman!" Uh, NO. We are not going to just blithely accept any ol' woman in place of Clinton, and sure as hell don't even want Clinton as the VP - why should the far more qualified candidate have to pick up after, and GROOM, the lesser qualified candidate?? Hell to the no. Ahem.

So, yeah - it's inevitable all right - inevitable that the Democrats are going to lose the White House again by putting up this untested, arrogant, misogynistic junior senator who has had everything handed to him on a silver platter by the likes of TOM DASCHLE and TED KENNEDY (for whom I have lost ALL respect) and HOWARD DEAN. And they are not just going to lose the White House, they are going to lose a large part of their base, and already have, from what I have seen at other sites. I'll be one of those, too, who changes my registration. I won't be a party to a Party that treats women so disparately. No way in hell. So, great job with the inevitablility thing, guys - that's what you get for allowing the Fourth Estate to create the story instead of reporting it, and for thinking women are just pawns you can use and abuse as you wish. Wrong. But I reckon you'll find THAT out - and that's inevitable, too.
