(i previously posted this in response to another post):
Here in northeastern Ohio, one direct from the HRC campaign--a piece decrying Obama's so-called position on NAFTA, when it was her husband's administration that pushed the bill through. And one from AFSME's "People" Committee, with pictures of soldiers at a war she helped authorize; one of a foreclosure sign, that she also bears responsibility, by supporting the bankruptcy bill and skirting the overall mortgage crisis by paying lip service about doing something about so-called predatory lenders, when every Congress person should known darn well that every mortgage is written to protect the lender, not the borrower. The AFSME "People" Committee should know better, too, because most average Americans, I don't care if they do have a union job, are only one paycheck or catastrophic illness away from potential financial disaster and losing their house (it doesn't just happen to "poor" people) The third pix is one of an old lady sitting (assumedly) waiting for health care. (Oh, and Clinton real stood her ground to the pharmaceutical and health insurance lobbyists the time she had a chance, too, didn't she? )
The final picture of juxtaposing a Bush thumbs' up in front of a Katrina disaster pix takes the cake. Lousiana's infrastructure had been in serious jeopardy decades before the hurricane hit. Someone hoodwinked the State into selling it as an environmental crisis and trying to market it to the country and Congress that way, so as to garner collective federal action. For no elected officials, especially especially perhaps from a neighboring state, to have pointed out the economic implications of a disaster there is just beyond irresponsible to me, it's deriliction of duty.
I am just sick to death of all of this. I am sorry I have ever felt sorry for HRC for her struggles in this campaign. She is just more of the same. What a damn shame. If she thinks she's smarter than the American people, though, she is more to be pitied then condemned. What a waste.
