Quote by: Rainbow  Unless something unexpected happens, Hillary is gone.
Now, Hillary is trying to save her face, using variety of (alleged) arguments to favour her reasons in order to stay in race.
That decision belongs to her. Nevertheless, that extended race hurts the Democratic Party.
What is more important to her :
- party
- position
???
(It indicates that Hillary is extremely selfish individual.)
McCain thinks he can beat Barack with ease. Therefore, his campaign supports Barack quietly.
It would not surprize me, Barack would be(come) a winner, instead and indeed. |
I do not see this as selfish. Of course both canidates want to win and so that would make both of them selfish in that perspective.
Nearly 50 percent of the Democrats want her and so she owes it to them to fight on. Obama is not a landslide winner no matter how you count things up.
Obama refused to allow for a re-do for primary elections in two states and that was for selfish reasons. He refused to debate Hillary for selfish reasons to insure victory in N.C. He refused to be Vice President for the sake of party unity, for selfish reasons. He refused to admit he really did like Rev Wright for selfish reasons. To think that Obama is a Saint in that department of morality is a big illusion.
Obama refuses to admit that experience is important relative to job applications, which got support from younger voters in collages that also lack experience and who will soon join the work force, for selfish reasons that he is lacking in that qualification. Like saying the job of being a President has a sign posted "no experience required" (which it does in fact, but that is no reason to promote it as a good thing).
A lot of older people are unhappy about being replaced by young people because their ideas might be outdated, and so he could loose that voting block. Hey, why don't they hire me as a CEO, I got good judgement and no experience. Reality check - it will never happen.
I do not think that "selfishness" can be employed as a good standard to pick a canidate. Let's go with the person with the best ideas and can back them up with actural details instead of just fancy talke as window dressing.
Calling Hillary selfish is just old time mud slinging and not productive of honest debating about the issues. But that is okay, I am in for a good old mud fight, the Woodstock generation has experience in doing that.
