Hillary was right. Anything can happen. She should continue her campaign

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I believe that the influential media should be understanding of Hillary Clinton’s remark concerning staying in the race and the assassination of Robert Kennedy. Thoughts of the Kennedys have been in everyone’s mind since Sen. Edward Kennedy was diagnosed with brain cancer. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have been traveling the United States fighting for the same ideals the Kennedy brothers ultimately sacrificed their lives for. Both democratic contenders are risking their lives everyday trying to capture the right to steer this country on  a course  favorable to the citizens who don’t belong to the 2 percent of the population who control 98 percent of it’s wealth. History tells us that when a person effectively changes the world towards equality, an untimely death is a real possibility. So, I say let Hillary run, let the people vote, and be understanding of the fearful thoughts that occasionally invade the minds of our leaders.

I will not be voting for Hillary or Barack, I do think that the media is giving her a bun rap, all she said is that she is staying in the race because anything could happen and she is right, let her continue her campaign.

I think the “influential media” understand that Hillary’s comment was likely to sell newspapers or cause people to turn on the TV news. In fact, that’s about all they understand.

And the media seem to have been right, since Mr. Beck was moved to write a letter about that subject, and not about some other statement that Senator Clinton has made recently.

I’m getting tired of reading post replies that begin, “I’m not voting for Hillary or Barack”. If you’re not voting for them, don’t bother to reply! I AM voting for Hillary or Barack, so I cancel your vote out!

After reading Eds’ letter, about the only thing,other than the kitchen sink, that he could have added was to call Hillary and Barack heroes. Then, if something did happen to either one of them, they would become martyrs, not!

What people are forgetting here is that Hillary is absolutely correct and I commend her for that. At least this time the truth came out. Hey, you never know. They could find Barack Obama committing suicide somewhat in a Washington DC park like what happened to Vince Foster. Lets not forget some of the other bizarre things that have happened to friends and accomplices of Hillary and Bill. There seems to be a tendency for people to die around the Clintons and I think she has to stay in. The country needs her and she will be the first to tell you that.

The moral of this story is that you better give Hillary a break, because if you don’t, you too may end up unfortunately dead.

Aren’t well all just happy that the media manipulated the American public to give us the 3 fools to be our President? Oh well, so much for government schools!

Just think how much gas and jet fuel could be saved if both parties just announced their candidates via the media and cancelled the national conventions. While they tell us peons to walk, car pool, or ride our bikes to work for the sake of conservation; they fly across the country to celebrate and posture. Well, surely the rest of us can adjust our thermostats and lifestyles to ease global warming and relieve the energy crisis while they are “risking their lives everyday trying to capture the right to steer this country…”
