When Is Confusion Consistent? [Larry Nichols Notes

There are very few times in life when things are so confusing that create an atmosphere of clarity.

The confusion that I am talking about has to do with the Democratic Party and the nine, now eight, candidates running for that party's nomination for the Presidency of The United States in 2004.

At this stage in the primary process, it is normal not know which candidate will actually win; after all we still have not had the first caucus or primary.

What is unusual about this primary season and the Democratic Party is that there are so many different elements pulling at the Democratic Party itself.

It is not unusual for candidates to bicker and feud amongst themselves, as to which one would best represent the party but that is not the question being posed by the situation the Democrats find themselves in today.

The dilemma the Democratic Party and especially the candidates running in this primary, is that no one seems to know what the Democratic Party core actually is.

Howard Dean carries forth the political mantra that in this election, the country needs to replace George Bush as President and that the Democrats should have a change of leadership and direction as well.

Kerry, Gephardt, and Lieberman are putting forth a campaign that says that if the Democratic Party is going to defeat George Bush and the Republicans, then the Democratic Party is going to have to look and act more like the Republicans than the Republicans do.

Edwards believes that the Democratic Party, if it is to win in November, is going to have to look and act like everyone should get along and work together to build a better nation.

Kucinich believes that the Democrats in order to beat President Bush are going to have to forgive Saddam Hussein for his actions in Iraq and punish George Bush for his. I might add, Kucinich believes that we should disarm our nation and do away with war totally. So therefore the Democratic Party must become as dreamy eyed as he is.

Which brings us to Al Sharpton and his position, which is the most peculiar of all. Sharpton wants the Democratic Party to unite and act like Democrats are supposed to act. Go figure. Historically Sharpton's position is the position that has always applied at this point in the primary season.

Generally, candidates running in the Democratic presidential primary know what Democrats are supposed to be and simply try to prove that they are one too.

The difference between winning and loosing is based on a candidate's ability to prove that he or she is the best Democrat of them all.

In this race, however, Sharpton doesn't even show up in the polls and all the others appear to be in a virtual dead heat. Sharpton is the only one who appears to know what Democrats are supposed to be and can prove that he's one of them, while all the others appear to have no clue who the Democrats are this year but claim to know what they should be.

You may have noticed that I left off Wesley Clark. Don't worry, I didn't forget him. I do know his position in the race. After all, Wesley Clark, up until mere moments before he announced his run as a Democrat was in fact, a Republican.

And his view of what a Democrat should be for him to get to be their presidential pick doesn't matter, for you see, he is not running for president, he is running to be vice president.

I hope after reading this article you will understand why I chose the title "When is Confusion Consistent?"

By now you should be able to understand all the confusion that surrounds this Democratic primary season, but what you may not see, is just why the confusion is so clear to someone like me.

The confusion has great clarity if you understand that the Clintons are making sure that all of the candidates are so confused that in the end the only clear choice to beat George Bush in 2004 is Hillary Clinton.

I only wish for the sake of our country and the future of our children that more people would see through the confusion and understand that the Democrats will be allowed only one choice in 2004.

Now you may wonder why if Hillary is to be the choice in 2004 that the media and all of the Democratic experts have written her off until the election of 2008?

The simple fact is that if Hillary does not run for president in 2004, that the Clintons will lose control of the Democratic machine and the power and money of the Democratic National Committee that they have controlled since Bill Clinton became the presidential candidate in 1992. Without that power, the Clinton's would most likely be finished or have their power greatly reduced.

Hillary must run or lose this power and she's not one to give up power easily. When she does get into the race, then "We the People" will then have but one clear choice and that will be to stop her.

The assumption in this article is that Hitlery will run for prez in '04. Can it also be assumed that Clark is going to be the VP to balance her ticket? Interesting,,,but...I don't think the dwarves are going to just hand the nomination over to her without a fight. Furthermore, I don't think she can beat Bush no matter who's on the ticket with her, but, ok..."bring it on"!

Just a thought: considering Kerry's astonishing surge in popularity in Iowa, I wondered if some of his operatives were passing out wads of Lovie's money to the old folks likely to vote in the caucuses. Nah, it'd be bound to come out and he'd be toast.

With all due respect to Mr. Nichols, I don't see how the Clintons can be responsible for the "confusion" created in this primary. They have had nothing to do with the numerous flip-flops of position, blatant lies, and strange views of Dean, Kerry, and the other long-time democrats. If the writer's premise is to hold true, then why would the Clinton puppet, Clark, make so many of the same mistakes and add to the confusion?

I really doubt the dwarves will have to hand over anything. Even liberal commentators have so much as admitted that the Clintons are the power in the Democratic party. Do you honestly think the Clintons wouldn't eat one of their own if it would benefit them?

As for beating Bush, how many were surprised that the last election wasn't a landslide given the idiocy of Gore? If Hillary ran, it would not surprise me if the ultra liberals came out in such force that the Republicans would be caught totally unawares.

If Bush runs a re-election the same way his father did, then he'll be trouble no matter who the opponent might me.

OK, here is how I see this. At the convention there will be chants of "HILLARY, HILLARY, HILLARY", the other candidates will be overwhelmed and Hillary will be picked and guess who she will pick as her running mate? My bet is Clark. Heh, heh, think not? Beware America, it is coming! (She isn't the anti Christ, just a normal radical Lib.)

I do believe that she is running without having to run.

I also believe that she is preparing a contingency plan for everything, all in the direction of manipulating what is in her best interest.

I doubt that Hillary will spend much time sleeping this year and has her fingers in all that is political just to keep what she believes is hers.

If Hitlery is running, she'd best start gathering delegates 'cause the days of the smoky backrooms are history. He who has the committed delegates wins. Nominating conventions are so pitifully boring that the VP selection is the only surprise... sometimes.
