This is what you call “positive?”

“This is one of the most civil and positive campaigns that I can remember.”

I can’t believe I let this slip under my radar. I also can’t believe the statement was made about the current Democratic primaries, and by Clinton, of all people. Hillary Goddamn Clinton, who has run the most negative campaign I’ve ever seen. If anyone has been paying attention this year, they know it’s been anything but positive from her side.

Obama? Way positive. Clinton? What has she attacked so far: Obama’s experience, his record, his competence, his readiness, his integrity (funding), has engaged in race-baiting, compared him to Ken Starr and refused to apologize for it, releasing embarrassing photos to propagate the Muslim characterization/falsehood, among many others. At least when someone on Obama’s side talks shit, he disowns it. His people are respectful enough to resign over things like calling Clinton a monster, but calling Obama a monster (Ken Starr) is, according to Hillary at a press conference,”a true statement.”

She really is a monster, and I’ve said it before: she’ll do whatever it takes to win, no matter how absurd. She’ll say anything to win, because this race is all about her. Hillary is in this to advance Hillary’s career, not for the good of the nation. After everything that has been said and done, I don’t see how anyone could doubt that. Don’t be surprised if this ends up in an “I told you so.”
