Re: [Marxism] Clinton: Say it loud, I'm white and I'm proud!

["Fred Feldman" <ffeldman@bellatlantic.net>]

Ralph on Marxism-Thaxis quoted a passage from Clinton's latest race-baiting
rap that was not in the versions I saw:

"We need to bring back hardworking people to the Democratic Party. . 
. I'm winning Catholic voters and Hispanic voters, blue-collar workers and
seniors. People Senator McCain will need in the general election."

She seems to be making a double offer -- to the Democratic Party if it will
give her what she wants, which is unlikely to happen. 

Obama would have to be crazy to nominate her for vice president and, since
his health appears good, she would have no choice but to sabotage his
administration, not to mention his election campaign, to assure herself
another shot at the presidency in 2012.

But she also seems to be possibly tendering an offer to McCain of voters he
"will need in the general election."  Perhaps she is suggesting herself as a
vice-presidential candidate for an aged and possibly unwell Republican
presidential candidate, who may serve only one term, not to mention what
might develop with his health before his term ended.

A kind of Republican-Fusion ticket might be the Republicans' best bet for
separating themselves from the Bush legacy (by adopting the Clinton-Bush
legacy instead).

It might be a good move for McCain to reach out to a top Democrat who fought
the good fight for "hard-working people" (white, won't vote for Black
candidate people -- the at least one-third of white workers who have been
voting for Obama in the primaries are lazy bums, almost as bad as the
Blacks!) in the Democratic Party and lost to the anti-American Black-latte-
liberal alliance.

Or is my reading too subtile?
Fred
