The Politics Of Hope Vs. The Politics Of Nope

Who represents the politics of hope? And who is the nope?

A hint: One guy is inspirational and the other is like 147 years old (and apparently--according to Academy Award hopeful Chuck Norris--each year is worth like 4 for men of war like himself [Mission Impossible 3] and the other dude). One guy runs on optimism while the other runs on a healthy dose of fiber.

One thinks we shouldn't keep overstretching an all-volunteer army in Iraq, while the other openly pontificates that The Global War On Terorristic, Liberal-Fascist, America-Hating, Islamo-Extremists should go the distance--like all the way until the release of Rambo 22: Sly's Man-Boobs Bust Up The Martian Mob--even if it means drafting players from his favorite team, the Brooklyn Dodgers.

You get the point. Now, if I may so humbly request you to watch the videos:

The DNC had better wake up. America does not want the Clintons. That is why the train of inevitability and the corronation of HRC have been reduced to her last stand in Texas, more akin to the Alamo. She is now out of cash, she is gone negative and is now screaming for a debate on Fox so she can smear Senator Obama and hurl race and gender politics at us. After blowing a war chest of $140m, HRC has no basis to claim that she is qualified to correct the economic ills that affect our country. She could not effectively run a campaign with so much, surrounded by the so-called tried and tested experts, how can we entrust her with the country?

At a time when Americans are finally beginning to stand up and demanding (Real Change) in government and politics, the Democratic party has begun a sleazy method of side stepping the mandate and intentions of their constituents. They call this new method 'Super Delegates', where insiders of the DEM-machine are given delegate voting powers not established in and by grass roots voters and caucuses. As a matter of fact these Super Delegates in their final voting may elect a delegate having nothing to do with their back-home caucuse and constituent voting.

This Super Delegate scheme is simply a method of making sure the (right) candidate is selected to represent the 'machine', rather than some rabble-rouser selected by grass-roots constituents. This will ensure that despite the grass roots wanting to vote candidates into Office similar to the 2004 election to end the Crimes Against Humanity in Iraq, the DEM-heirarchy like Nancy Peloise and DEM heirarchy instead ended up kissing the Bush-Admin ass.

Look into this 'Super Delegate' scheme, you tell me if this will make a government of the people, by the people, and for the people? Or is this a case where corrupt individuals have taken over our government for Pork/PAC/Perk/Payola benefits given by a wealthy elite who control (entirely) this nation?
