Hillary lost the Primary because the public knew how far right-wing her political ideals and actions have been. She was never able to shake off having voted for the Iraq war. Additionally, the Clintons have a rather ugly right-wing history that is relatively well known.
Bill Clinton was elected president on the promise of national health care and the public's hatred of the right-wing George Bush. So what did President Clinton do? Well he tossed aside the public's demand for national health care and instead gave us a consolidated media, an increased police state, the savaging of the welfare system, the senseless bombing of Iraq and imperialist war in Yugoslavia. He was merely warming things up for G.W. Bush. G.W. Bush is the consolidation and advancement of the right-wing gains made during the Clinton years.
Hillary, for her part, never once stood up and aggressively attacked the Nazi Bush regime who stole two elections, attacked our own nation on 9-11, attacked the Bill of Rights and waged class warfare upon America's underclass. Additionally, Hillary voted for the war in Iraq. She's part of the Democratic rubberstamping of the Bush administration's Nazi agenda. Not surprisingly, Hillary's past is a Republican one. She was a Goldwater supporter while in high school and president of The Young Republicans while at Wellesley College. Those who think of Hillary as the saviour of the liberals need to rethink their position.
Hillary lost to Obama because Obama offered the illusion of "hope" and "change" which vaguely suggested to the liberal majority public that the Nazi Bush policies were over. But as soon as Obama won the Primary, he became Black Bush, the Democratic Nazi. He quickly sided with Bush on the government's need to spy on the public and supported telecom immunity which forgave, not only the telecoms for their crimes, but the Bush administration as well. Quickly thereafter, he did his little prostration act before the increasingly hated, right-wing, warmongering AIPAC. Before the public even had a chance to scratch their head in bewilderment, Obama was telling how he intended to increase the war in Afghanisan and widen it on into Pakistan. Today, he is busy supporting the Bush lies that Russia attacked Georgia when everyone that pays attention to world events knows that it was U.S. backed Georgia that attacked South Ossetia.
The public majority doesn't want McCain. The public majority is overwhelmingly liberal and they want a liberal President. They voted for Obama because he provided the illusion that he was liberal when they knew that the Clintons were wolves in sheep's clothing. Now, what we have all learned is that Obama is also a wolf in sheep's clothes. Even the right-wing Wall Street Journal mentioned several weeks ago that Obama was "running for Bush's third term."
It isn't that the public is warming to the right-wing doofus, John McCain. It's that the public has cooled to the right-wing Obama. Had Hillary won the primary, nothing would be any different today. She is no less right-wing than is Obama and no less committed to advancing the interests of America's wealthy-elite.
But really, none of this should be any big surprise. The Democrats have been complicit in all of the Bush crimes. They rubberstamped each new piece of the Nazi Bush agenda, everytime complaining that they had been fooled. But the minute that those supposedly "fooled" Democrats gained control of congress, Nancy Pelosi announced, "Impeachment is off the table." Bush soon thereafter announced, "the surge." Another royal *******-over for the Democrats liberal voters. If the Republicans had won the midterms, would anything be any different today?
