I’m sooooo tired of this, and I’m wondering if everyone else is actually agreeing with — or actually just going along with, like sheep — the silent yet persistent and unwielding cold shoulder the media insists on giving Hillary Clinton, despite her popularity and potential.
I’m rather disgusted and sick about it. It was clear early on — even when Hillary was the clear favorite for the Democratic candidate — that the media would do ALL it could do to silently push her out of the public’s eye, minimize and taint any coverage about her during these campaigns and primaries, and try to persuade the public silently in this act of intentional omission to NOT CONSIDER HILLARY. I feel like running to the mountaintop and yelling, “Hello? Does anyone think for themselves anymore, or does the information the media chooses to provide to you become your truth, accepted as is, and forget about any personal analysis by finding out ALL the information, not just one side?”
Idiocy.
Yet she’s still rather holding her own, regardless of the apparent joy the general media seems to be getting by sensationalizing Obama and every single little baby step he makes. Obama this, Obama that… if I were an alien, I would think that this Obama person was a clear front runner, because it isn’t as if they give Hillary equal share of coverage — especially positive coverage.
Sexist pigs.
You know what? I don’t care about Hillary being a woman, and I don’t care about Obama being a black man. What I do care about is that Hillary was the first first lady that made people uncomfortable because she actually had politics of her own, instead of quietly “standing by her man” and doing as a good little lady should do and just follow in his shadow. And constantly, the media drags up BILL’S politics and throws them in her face. With some things she agrees, with some things she has a very staunch opposition to. Last I checked, Bill wasn’t running for president again… GW had some different politics than his pop, yet he wasn’t constantly barraged with accusations about that! Yet, again, because she’s the “little lady,” she’s not allowed to have her own beliefs?
She’s got the experience, the intelligence, and the chutzpah, not to just be the “first woman president,” but to be the president that has to clean up the mess our current president has made of this country. And maybe to add something different to the plate.
I’m a registered independent; I don’t claim allegiance to either major political party. And I’ll have to admit, I didn’t vote for Bill Clinton either time he was in office. However, I DO say that regardless of the fooling around issue (funny, it seems there were plenty of other presidents in history who did the same and everyone just looked the other way — including Kennedy – but that’s a whole different blog!), he did a LOT for this country. Hello?? Does anyone remember that it was the first time this country balanced its books and being in the black since…. a very, very long time before? Yes, there were things with which I disagreed, as there are a few items on Hillary’s agenda that I disagree, but when they did a national poll about 5 years ago, Bill Clinton actually ranked as the #2 favorite president of Americans. #2, folks.
Anyway, back to Hillary. Because as I said before, this is HER campaign, not Bill’s. I know there’s a solid, intelligent consistuency out there who still really, really wants her to win this nomination, and the presidency. Because she can make a difference, and she can break some huge barriers that haven’t been broken before in the process. In my opinion, the more Obama becomes the media’s love child, the more I get disgusted. When did it change, and the media stopped reporting the news without bias or favoritism? Because today, all I see is brainwashing. Because if you strip down the sensationalism and all the mud slinging, Obama really doesn’t have all that much to say that he’s not told to say. And who really wants that for a president who leads a world power that’s in dire need of a breath of fresh air and some “thinking outside of the box” to rebuild what we used to have?
Think for yourselves, everyone. Please. Don’t be brainwashed; and if you like Hillary, WRITE about her. TALK about her. LEARN about her. EDUCATE OTHERS about her, in contrast to Obama, so more and more people REALLY know what’s going on, before it’s too late.
And vote for her.
