The Rant

The Clintons and Jim Crow racism

Hillary Clinton Thursday admitted that she is the candidate of dumb whites - no more, no less.

As her campaign continues its slide into the dustbin of political also-rans, she told USA Today that she should be president because ignorant white people want her in the White House and they are the only people who really matter in this election year.

It's over Hillary; go home

Hilary Rodham Clinton's struggling, long shot campaign for the Presidency turned into no shot Tuesday night. She's out of cash, out of time and out of excuses. It's time to fold and head for the wings.

More of the same means none of the above

Sadly, the 2008 race for President has devolved into the same, useless morass that gives voters little choice, little hope and little reason to go to the polls.

It makes many of us wish "none of the above" was an option on the ballot come November.

Jeremiah Wright and Miley Cyrus

On Monday, I defended some of the controversial remarks made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Democratic Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama's bombastic former pastor.

Then I watched Wright's disgusting, self-serving "all about me" performance at the National Press Club in Washington.

I was wrong about Wright.

God damn America? Damn right!

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. is not doing Democratic Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama any favors with his latest round of speeches and television appearances defending his controversial remarks and preaching style.

Hillary Clinton's racist appeal

Doug Thompson — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:44:55 -0400

One expects racism from Republicans. The party of the elephant could merge with the just about any white supremacy group and not miss a beat. Hell, most people wouldn't see any difference.

But overt racism from a Democrat is something else, although it should not surprise anyone that Hillary Rodham Clinton would use racism in her anything goes quest for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

Destroying the Democratic party

Doug Thompson — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:30:29 -0400

Hillary Clinton's win over Democratic Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania primary Tuesday shows the race for the top job in Washington is far from over and may well go to the party's convention in Denver.

Clinton has come back from media-perceived political grave more times than Dracula and the comparison is not coincidental. Her critics feel she is the chief bloodsucker in a political system dominated by opportunistic vampires.

Hill's shill delivered for old boss

Doug Thompson — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:25:26 -0400

ABC news, if that comic exercise in political pandering can be called “news,” sent former Clinton boot-licker George Stephanopoulos in to shill for Hillary Clinton at Wednesday’s so-called Democratic Presidential debate and the result turned into a tabloid debacle that surpasses even the extremes of Fox News.

Obama: Just another political phony?

Doug Thompson — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 08:03:05 -0400

As the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination descends further into political hell, the Barack Obama campaign of change is changing into just another charade of false hope, shrill promises and tired rhetoric.

We don't need 'one of us' in the White House

As a gun owner and hunter, I have trouble welcoming Hillary Clinton into the gun fraternity...or sorority in her case.

And, as a recovering alcoholic who used to toss down more than his share of shots, I have even more trouble imagining an evening at the local bar tossing back boilermakers with the Democratic Presidential pretender.
