<title>Hillary: The Terminator From the Dark Side</title>

<![CDATA[<p>Beyond the realm of dedication, allegiance, and perseverance there is a place where only the possessed will travel undaunted by the constraints of integrity and virtue. In this immoral chasm, the names of virtue and vice are misappropriated: Betrayal is marked as Devotion, Greed is disguised as Ambition, Obsession is mislabeled Perseverance, Egomania masquerades as Munificence, and Deceit impersonates Candor. Many leaders of prominence have taken this elevator down past the ground floor on what they thought was their way to the top. Yet, who has descended faster than Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Presidential candidate from New York, the crowned heir to her husband's throne, the frontrunner who lost her edge to a Washington neophyte from Illinois?</p>
 
<p>After falling behind in the popular vote and pledged delegates, the former first lady rallied her team of assassins and set out on a brutal course to destroy her adversary. From the scurrilous playbook of Carl Rove, the devious man that she purportedly loathes, she pulled out the fear card -- warning the nation that Barak Obama could not safely handle the responsibilities of protecting the nation from terrorism, despite the fact that for the last eight years, Republicans have drilled this message into a meaningless hole.</p>
 
<p>Nonetheless, only days later, Hillary invited her opponent, Barck Obama, to consider unifying the party and running as her Vice President. The disingenuous offer only revealed that she too didn't believe her underhanded criticism of Obama's abilities to lead the nation. How could she offer the Vice Presidency to a man who could not protect the nation during a crisis? The truth is obvious. Her characterization of Obama is false. Is this what a Democrat calls party loyalty? Her desperate need to win the nomination goes far beyond her concerns for justice, integrity, or loyalty to the goals of her party or the welfare of her nation.</p>
 
<p>The Terminator's win-at-all-costs strategy - which continues to keep the spotlight on Rev. Wright and the racial divide - is designed to bloody Obama; unfortunately it is also driving a wedge deep into the heart of the Democratic Party and may only destroy Obama's chances of beating John McCain in November.</p>
 
<p>Promoting herself as the candidate of experience, she has since distorted the truth about her less than courageous involvement in Bosnia and her insignificant role in bringing peace about in Northern Ireland. Can she rightly claim a &amp;ldquo;senior moment&amp;rdquo; like the Republican candidate, Senator John McCain? Confronted with her dishonesty, she conveniently admitted that it was an innocent mistake -- perhaps a lapse of memory. There is no innocence here. Touting accolades that do not belong in her resume is a betrayal of the public trust. Does honesty and integrity matter to Democrats and Republicans anymore? This question haunts Americans voters as never before. What will they not do to win?</p>
 
<p>Her latest attack came from an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, a money-losing, fringe right-wing rag owned by Richard Mellon Scaife, the supporter of the Arkansas Project, the American Spectator, which was largely responsible for various witch hunts against Clinton during his administration. Scaife is the nut-job that spent millions on fabricating stories against the Clintons; the most infamous of which was about Hillary having whacked Vince Foster.</p>
 
<p>Democrats who had spent years defending the Clintons from these unfair attacks have a right to be angry and astonished that she would stoop so low as to use an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review to circulate the Rev. Wright story against Obama. Despite her attempt at pretending to be innocent of initiating the dialogue about Rev. Wright, appearing at an editorial board meeting with Scaife and his bootlickers can only be seen as a deliberate attempt to spread more trash talk about Obama and to encourage the Republican hate vote to show up in Pennsylvania.</p>
 
<p>Tuesday, March 25th, James Carivill appeared on MSNBC and refused to apologize for describing Bill Richardson as a &amp;ldquo;Judas&amp;rdquo; for Richardson's endorsement of Barack Obama. The question remains; who is Jesus Christ -- Hillary or Bill?</p>
 
<p>Carville insisted that his connection to Hillary's campaign was entirely unofficial. Yet, any reasonable person knows that this was not a random and independent character assassination. Carville admitted that he wanted to &amp;ldquo;brand&amp;rdquo; Richardson for his act of betrayal. This was an attempt to intimidate the superdelegates who are considering switching their support from Hillary to Barack. Richardson's endorsement of Obama was more of an act of courage than it was an act of betrayal. He was simply supporting the nominee that he believes will lead the country in the right direction. Tactics of bullying, threatening, and unfairly trashing reputations has become commonplace for Hillary's ruthless and desperate quest for the presidential nomination. The America people have had a long bout with these kinds of politics and have a right to call for an end to it.</p>
 
<p>The time has come for Howard Dean, the leader of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), to call upon the party's leaders and its supporters to censor Hillary for perverting the process and for using fear of race, gender, and loyalty to manipulate voters. Within the limits of dedication, allegiance, and perseverance to the ideals expressed in our constitution, Americans need benevolent leadership more than ever -- leadership that will honor integrity and virtue more than the lust for power.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FHillary-The-Terminator-From-the-Dark-Side.100134"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FOpinions%2FHillary-The-Terminator-From-the-Dark-Side.100134" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
