me that would have me go fully into their camp. I've been on the sidelines for quite some time considering where we've landed at, but some of the recent events have tipped the scales, the "gaffe" today has really gotten under my skin.
I have lived through the Kennedy assassinations, the attempts on the lives of George wallace, Gerald Ford and Reagan, Martin Luther King as well as others who have been, or nearly been ushered through Death's Door at the hands of those who would think that murder is the way to "correct" a perceived wrong.
Assassination is a topic that should be discussed, but rationally and in context of the act, it should not be tossed out frivolously nor should it be used as a political vehicle. I have no comprehension of what HRC was thinking, (if she was thinking), when she tossed out the little gem that not only has us in an uproar, but the RW yahoo's are having a field day w/this. To be honest, to me the RW can't do much right, but they sure can chase a something down and run it into the ground when given the bait.
I think that HRC is a remarkable individual. She has shown us that a woman can take on the challenges that have faced women for longer than I can remember, and can do it with intelligence and dignity. But the flaws have become apparent in this particular woman. Politics has always been a blood-sport, for the rest of my life, I don't expect to see that change; but there are limits and lines that should never be crossed. Limbaugh's cheap hint at riots in Denver stands out, as does some of the other tripe the RW puts out there. But we are supposedly of a "higher standard", and when one of our own drags the bar down to street level, it is time to look realistically at just how we got to this point.
HRC has lost the 3's required to move on to the nomination, she knows this, we know this. By bringing death into the arena, she has created a new low, and if anything, she will lose more delegates, (Super or not), and the bell has tolled. She will continue on, I'm a fighter, so I can relate to how she feels, but there have been times when I've had to pack up my bags and move on, she should do this as well.
My intent is not to "bash HRC, but to hold up the reality that there is a time when people can go too far, and the lack of judgment in stepping over the boundary shows me a serious lack of skill in the political expertise that one who would be PoTUS should have.
It is sad to see this happening, but happen it has. It has become apparent to me that she has moved into desperation mode, and that is a mode that no one who would run for PoTUS should go into. The good people of NY will most likely elect her back into the Senate, and I believe she can be a power for good there. I do not believe she would make a good president.
