I’m
sure those people of a mental preponderance to want to favor social
conservative ideologue thought are thinking that society is somehow ganging up
on them when it comes to electoral matters.
CLINTON: No longer facing inductment |
Here
in Illinois, a lawsuit filed against the woman who is now seeking the U.S.
Senate seat as a Democrat is not going to go to trial just as the electoral
cycle heats up.
THERE
WON’T BE all kinds of political tidbits that can be used against candidate
Tammy Duckworth in her bid to challenge Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. – that lawsuit
got settled out of court.
As
if that wasn’t devastating enough for conservative political chances of taking
down people who would challenge their way of thought, now we have the FBI
coming right out and saying that Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary
Clinton didn’t do a thing that would warrant the filing of criminal charges
against her.
Their
investigation into her use of a private e-mail system while serving as
Secretary of State did not produce the evidence of classified information being
disseminated improperly; as ideologues for months have been implying it did.
The
Democratic Party is not on the verge of nominating a person facing criminal
indictment when they have their presidential convention in coming weeks in
Philadelphia.
THAT
REALLY WAS the electoral strategy of Republican partisans in Illinois – make sure
that the trial that could have occurred in late August produces bits that can
be used against Duckworth.
Meanwhile,
let Clinton get bogged down in a mass of legal issues that would spill over to
all candidates seeking office on the Democratic ticket. Which was the only way
that Illinois with its modern-day leanings toward Democrats and the urban
thoughts they carry would even consider picking Republican candidates in any
great number.
Instead,
no trial. No criminal indictment. Nothing to produce bits of “fact” (more
likely trivia) that could be used during the election cycle. Making it all the
more likely that the two-thirds of Illinois’ population that lives in the
six-county Chicago area will overcome the remaining parts of Illinois that are
rural in character and will be relied upon to back GOP picks for government
positions.
Personally,
I think it is sad that the modern-day Republican Party would be so reliant on
criminal proceedings to bolster its chances of winning a damn thing come the
Nov. 8 Election Day.
ALTHOUGH
I HAVE to be honest and admit that Democratic political operatives would be
just as inclined to use criminal proceedings to gain an advantage for their
political candidates if it were at all possible.
For
all the high-minded talk some people spew about wanting to pick quality people
to serve in our government, we’re really more inclined to delve in the dirt and
spew the muck to filthy-up each other – to the point where our modern-day
elections truly become a matter of deciding “Who do I hate the least?”
Which
is why we have a likely presidential election coming up between a Democrat who
has long been despised by a certain ideological segment of our society and a
business executive whose behavior on the campaign trail is so garish and gross
that his Republican bid for president is achieving record-high levels of
unpopularity.
Libertarian
candidates may actually wind up taking more than their usual 1 percent of the
ballots cast just because we find everybody else so contemptible.
WE’RE
NOT GOING to get the dirt. Or at least we won’t get it put straight-forward. I
have no doubt that GOP operatives will figure out ways of bringing up the
allegations against Duckworth and Clinton that they would have used anyway.
They just won’t be able to say that some nasty tidbit came out of trial
proceedings.
It
will be pure rumor and trash being spewed about by political people with no
sense of shame.
All
of which makes me want to take a shower now to get myself extra clean, on
account of all the muck my mind will be cluttered up with during the next four
months.
As
I wonder how long it will take following Election Day to totally cleanse me
mentally?
