Hillary’s Last Minute Pander Will End the Race on May 6

Hillary Clinton latched on to John McCain’s gas tax holiday proposal in a last minute pander to get votes in her desperate attempt at a game changer in North Carolina. She’s gone as far to say that she doesn’t want to listen to the 99% of economists (that aren’t working for Shell Oil) who have said it is a dumb idea. When you increase demand for goods (by lowering the price), then those who are selling the good end up raising the price to profit from that increased demand, and thus, any suspension of the tax will be nullified by either the oil companies or retail gas station making up the difference. So, the taxpayer loses 9 Billion in funds to repair roads, the economy suffers from 300,000 lost construction worker jobs, the oil and gas retailers make more money, and the reliance on oil as a false commodity continues.

This suspension of reality is frighteningly similar to Bush not listening to “experts” about the ramifications of going to war in Iraq, scientists who warn about global warning, teachers who warn of the perils of No Child Left Behind, and or experts who point out that “teaching” abstinence in our schools only leads to more babies and sexually transmitted diseases. This latest pander to voters isn’t the only similarity Hillary has to our current President, but her trying to frighten voters with scare tactic ads and threatening Congress to join her worthless new policy plan with the Bush phrase, “You’re either with us or against us,” just cemented her spot in history as one of the lowest of the low politicians of our time.

This latest strategy will backfire in the worst way for Hillary. North Carolina will be a big loss and Indiana will be a small win, if at all. Super delegates have been slowly moving to Obama for the past two months and despite CNN ignoring four new Supers going to Obama on May 5 (going 18 hours without reporting this fact, but “reporting” that a poll changed one percent in a day”), the trickle is about to become a flood due to Hillary threatening to go nuclear twice in one week…once on the democratic party and once threatening to annihilate Iran (which was strange to threaten to kill innocent women and children considering she’d scolded Barack for saying he’d attack Al Quaeda leaders in Pakistan).

McCain’s gas tax holiday plan and his numerous gaffes including letting it slip out that we’re in Iraq for Oil is about to be dealt with head on.

Oh, and for the 100th time in the past 100 days…Wolf Blitzer “reports” that he thinks his “dream ticket” idea may be a possibility. This guy is either a complete moron, or his CNN handlers have kidnapped his kids and are forcing him to continue to push what everyone in the world knows will never happen. Congrats for hitting 100 Wolf!!

Media Has Finally Hit a New Low in “Reporting”

The media has shown it’s true spots recently in their “reporting” of what they consider to be news.  Whether it be in their worrying more about flag pins than three trillion dollar wars, or neighbors of Barrack that Bill Clinton pardoned; rather than a breaking economy due to a president that would rather borrow from the Chinese to pay for his 3 trillion dollar war, his second tax rebate/bribe to/of the American voter, or his bailouts of corporate magnates that were apparently unable to conduct payment shock analysis before they bought billions of dollars of loans whose sole risk was borrowers unable to make their payments that payment jump several years into the loan.

The media is so busy trying to cut costs that people who actually are “reporting” the news, i.e.: going out and asking serious questions, are losing their jobs.  Whether it’s through layoffs of hundreds of NY Times workers, or mergers and outsourcing (CBS may just rely on CNN?…thank goodness we’ve got Wolf on the job), or just hiring low level people who have no skill other than reading the news to host the spin doctors spewing false and irrelevant facts across the airwaves.

The obvious point is, the news has become nothing more than a business unit of the corporations that run them.  Much like a republican politician, there is too much money at stake for reality to creap into your television any more.  CNN is forced to report on Jeremiah Wright and Flag Pins just as republicans must hate gays because the Bible doesn’t say so (but the church and money does…more babies means more dowry!), love Exxon, and hate the environment (and appoint Exxon to oversee the environment to make it so), all because the money dictates that these things will happen.

The current push for corporations is to ensure someone who doesn’t take corporate bribes (i.e.: lobbyist donations) doesn’t get into the White House. The corporate media would like their ratings to continue to August because they’re certain any race with an old bag like McCain is going to put everyone to sleep. There’s also much more draw to Hillary imploding the Democratic party rather than Barack vs. McDud.

CNN is bursting at the seams to talk about flag pins and Barack’s former minister who doesn’t trust the government (maybe it has something to do about it lying to get us into a war with Vietnam, or lying about getting us into a war with Iraq,…today’s “Ticker” is that apparently Barack’s popularity is “fading.” Really, doesn’t fading imply that it’s going away forever?  This stunning analysis conducted by whoever the headline maker is looked at the daily poll that goes up and down and has switched leads between the candidates dozens of times in the past few months.  Apparently, since Hillary caugh up to Barack yesterday, it means all has faded.  However, if it goes back up at any point in the future, I guess that would mean that this was a bogus story that would need to be retracted.

Update:  (it’s been 10 seconds)  Gallup’s surprising release of another poll in their DAILY POLLING, Barack is back ahead…I guess that means Hillary is “fading.”  It was fun while it lasted.  CNN, keep the article, I’m sure you’ll be able to use it again within the next week (and save a few bucks in the process).

Update #2: CNN changes title of story, “Clinton, Obama, dead even.” I guess false headlines are only as good as the thousands who you were able to manipulate before the facts got in the way. Well, I guess it is “dead even” except for that 150 delegate lead that Obama has, but who’s counting? Unfortunately, not CNN…and unfortunately we can’t count on CNN for reality since they were bought by Time Warner who’s screwing us worse than they do with the cable bill. Question is, which business unit is perfoming and do we need more mindless, leggy or bearded know nothings on the case.

Which of these CNN talking heads would understand the first thing about how the war is (or more to the point, is not) being paid for, payment shock analysis, or anything not having to do with preachers, gays, or guns?
