The Democratic party is notorious for a centrism that has lost and won elections for them. This is a political party that tries to be everything to everyone. They change colors (puns always intended) depending on the demographic they are wooing. Did you know that there is a group of conservative voting Democrat congressmen from the South? These dudes vote in favor of pro-life and anti-immigration legislation among other things.
What I have witnessed in the last several months are the conservative leanings of HILLARY CLINTON as well. In front of her N.O.W. constituency she talks that pro-choice hoopla, but in front of the Blue Dog delegates she gets all on that R.F.K. “lynch a nigger” ish. At the end of the day this is how politricks are played. I’m just always surprised that people can’t see, or aren’t willing to see all the different sides. And ultimately shades.
Will HILLARY CLINTON supporters pull a NADER on the OBAAMA campaign and swing their votes to McCAIN? Possibly so. I think this has more to do with the prevailing mindset that OBAAMA is not trustworthy. No politician is trustworthy, but I think that “trust” has become a coded buzzword in politricks the same way “urban” is a coded buzzword in marketing. I wonder who these same people would have voted for if JOHN McCAIN were running against HILLARY CLINTON? I guess I will have to wait for 2012 to find that one out?
