Here Comes The Scam

I have believed for many months that Hillary Clinton was going to be the eventual nominee to represent the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election.

I have said that she will not actually win the nomination, but that the power-brokers in Washington (the Bush family and friends, the Clinton family and friends, the Diebold Corporation, Howard Dean, and other election powerhouses) would simply do for Hillary that which was done for George W Bush in Florida in 200 and Ohio in 2004: they would rig the process to ensure that the candidate most appealing to the conservatives would win. In 2008, that candidate is Hillary Clinton: champion of corporate interests, anti-labor hero, and homophobe supreme.

Clinton has packaged herself as a liberal for many years, but her positions on the issues are the positions of a conservative.

She is losing the race to become the Democratic nominee to Barack Obama. Her momentum was dead in the water, then she won a couple of states that use Diebold voting machines (including Ohio, which has been devastated by her support of NAFTA), and her campaign is re-born. Now the chairman of the Democratic Party wants to change party rules to allow her to get the delegates from Florida and Michigan, which states have had their delegates nullified for breaking Party rules. When Clinton was the front-runner, she wanted those states punished for their rules-breaking; now that she can win by manipulating their delegates, she wants them reinstated.

Things are bad. Things are worse than we think.

As Ohio Goes, So Goes The Nation

As a general rule-of-thumb, though not a proven proposition, whichever candidate is victorious in Ohio will win the nation-wide race in which they are running.

Sadly, Ohio is now a state with unreliable Diebold voting machines, so instead of Ohio representing "average Americans" its voting results now represent the desires of the Diebold voting machine development team.

So, it looks as though Diebold thinks Clinton will be the candidate that will best suit their needs in November. They gave her New Hampshire and now they have given her the biggest prize of all: Ohio.

I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but I do not trust Diebold and I don't trust election officials in Ohio who have installed the Diebold machines, and I don't trust Hillary Clinton.

She has won Ohio, and Texas, and for good measure she carried Rhode Island. Barack Obama can no longer be considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, and I am not shy to say that having carried Ohio, and Texas, with Pennsylvania waiting in the wings, Hillary Clinton looks the strongest.

Pennsylvania is often described as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in the middle; meaning that a Democrat (or a non-white person in this case) can carry the two big cities, but there is no way a liberal or a person of color is going to carry the middle of this very large state.

I will continue to hope for an Obama victory at the convention, but I am resigning myself to a president (Clinton or McCain) who will mire us more deeply in war, ship more of our jobs out of the country, remain beholden to the oil and communications industries, make bad appointments to the Supreme Court, reinvigorate the commercial penal system and death penalty champions, and perhaps allow reproductive freedom to become further endangered.

Watch this space to see the transformation of a man who loathes Hillary Clinton into a man who might have to vote for her just because the thought of McCain is even more frightening.

And should Obama make a miraculous comeback . . . well, then it will be a different rant! Until that time: Congratulations Senator Clinton!

The Polls Are Opening

Today is the day that Obama can win enough delegates to take the Democratic nomination. I predict he will win those needed delegates.

Clinton will not go down gracefully. I am certain that the Diebold election monitors have already selected the precincts they will manipulate to give Clinton some of the delegates she has not actually won.

Ohio, which has been devastated by Clinton's support of NAFTA will have its vote manipulated to give her delegates from a state that has no good reason to vote for her.

Watch Ohio. It will be the most interesting results to follow.

Also, I predict that by 8:00 P.M. Eastern time, the Clinton campaign will accuse the Obama campaign of voting irregularities. They will make these accusations to keep attention away from the Diebold manipulations, and the mainstream media will refuse to look any deeper than the Clinton's press release.

When Clinton actually loses, she will step-up her court battles to have the election results changed, and will then use the might of the Bush-Clinton machine to attempt a "coup" of sorts at the convention.

This will be an interesting Summer!
