The country will be well primed to let the pendulum swing on some left wing social issues in 2008 if Kerry loses in November. If he wins there wont be much chance for hillary to defeat him in 2012 and 2016 would very likely be a lost cause, after eight years of Dem admin. The Clintons are able to accomplish their goals much more by fraud than by genuine political leadership. The outcome for the mass of citizens who allow themselves to be used under the guise of left wing social movement has been to be degraded into deceitful, perfidious obsequiousness. The test of this statement is simple. The left wing social movement was in full swing when b. Clinton was elected president. How much progress has there been on the left wing social agenda beyond the first year of his tenure as president? The answer: little to none. In fact, to a great extent left wing social agendas were sacrificed so that he could stay in POWER. b.clinton employed charm, and cunning strategic actions in order to maintain power. And of course, paving the road to hillary’s congressional seat was a way to continue that. Of course he used the power of his left wing machinery to gain and maintain the power of administration over the greatest super power the world has ever known. Why? Well, certainly the power of the political machinery in the process of acquiring the power to lead our great nation is justified. It is, in fact, the only method available to achieve this goal. There are of course supposed to be worthy and honorable causes that the politician is championing in the process. In this case it was more dogma than cause and it rested on a foundation that crumbled beneath clinton's feet. Clinton, of course knew this and as we look back, it appears b.Clinton was/is ready, willing, and able to employ every self serving strategy to obtain and maintain power for the sake of nothing more than the illusion of holding onto it.
