Hilary for president?

It appears that Biden and others seem to think that Hilary has all but sewn up the nomination for Democratic candidate for the Presidency in 2008. I sincerely believe this is not true and I also believe it would be a suicidal mistake for Democrats. While there is much talk about the electorate being ready for a woman President I am skeptical. Very skeptical. Furthermore she has shown herself to be no more than just another Republican-lite. While this worked for Bill I don’t think it will work this time. With Bill palling around with the Bush’s, Hilary apparently on the board of WalMart, and otherwise receptive to the same corporate support as the Republicans, I don’t think the Democratic base is going to be very supportive. Of course I could be wrong. I often am. Naturally one would have to support the Democratic candidate over whomever the Republicans decide to run, how could it be otherwise? But please, let’s not have another best of two horrible candidates. There must be some Democrat out there who is not beholden to the Corporations and who would be willing to begin the process of disengagement from the big money. Where is our Roosevelt when we truly need him or her? I don’t believe Hilary fits the bill. Biden, maybe. We desperately need a charismatic candidate who will tell it as it is instead of trying to compromise with the evil empire that now prevails.

Sharon is already about to ditch the so-called peace process. When is everyone going to just acknowledge that Sharon’s Israelis have no desire whatsoever to see a viable Palestinian state? Why should they? With America’s blind support they have all the power. They can continue to steal Palestinian land and water, thumb their noses at the United Nations and everyone else, all the while continuing to claim they are under siege from Palestinian rock throwers and children. It is obviously true there are suicide bombers, and no doubt will continue to be until Israel give up their illegal and immoral occupation, but the toll taken by suicide bombers pales into insignificance when compared to the Israeli near genocide. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the single greatest obstacle to any kind of peace in the Middle East, ever, is the U.S. support of Israel against the Palestinians. Why is it in the best interests of the United States to give Israel three billion dollars a year? Think about it, if there is anyone left here who thinks at all.
