Family Feud, Democratic style

It's the Democratic presidential version of Family Feud.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared Thursday with Hillary Clinton in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and reminded the crowd that "there are some members of my family who have decided to do the wrong thing." Translation: Folks like (Uncle) Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and (cousin) Caroline Kennedy are behind Barack Obama.

Alas, said Robert, "my party is divided. My family is divided." But listen to him, he insisted, because "I've known Hillary Clinton longer than they've known Barack Obama." Twelve years, he said.

But don't despair, said Robert--"we're all coming together after August," family, party, etc.

Hasn't Hillary argued that George Bush has divided a nation? Somehow it seems hypocritical that she can stay in this race and further divide a party but that's what the Clintons do best; divide and conquer. My vote goes in the general election will go out to Barak Obama or nobody at all.

How about a reality check here. Sen. Obama appeared out of nowhere on the national scene in 2005 like the Trojan Horse on the beaches of Troy. Before that, during his U.S. senate election in 2004, the Illinois G.O.P. forced his Republican challenger to drop out, then replaced the guy with an unknown from Maryland. Face it, the candidacy is a fraud, promoted by a tag-team effort of Karl Rove and the Democractic Party establishment. The nomination process has been rigged in his favor. 2.3 million voters continue to be disenfranchised by him in Michigan and Florida. And he trashes Sen. Clinton, sometimes visciously, in almost every stump speech. It's too bad so many Clinton supporters (God bless them) continue to give credence to his presidential run. It just makes Clinton's job that much harder. For more on the manipulation going on behind the scenes, see the article I've posted at thecityedition.com or click on my screen name.
