Is the Hillary Clinton campaign being deliberately sunk? by F. William Engdahl

''American Presidential politics are at best a cynical business. The outcome is typically determined, at least since the ill-fated campaign of George McGovern in 1972, by major corporate lobbyists and behind-the-scenes money interests who have little interest in national issues other than their own. Now, with the sudden departure of Hillary Clinton’s main campaign strategist, Mark Penn, it is clear that the powerful interests originally backing Clinton have decided to end the game with her.

On the surface the issue was a discovered conflict of interest between Penn and Hillary over Penn’s outside consulting for the government of Colombia on a policy which Hillary stated she opposed. Penn had agreed to be hired as a high-price lobbyist by Colombia to help secure Congressional passage of a bilateral US-Colombia free trade bill that US unions claim would cost American workers hundreds of thousands of jobs. Hillary desperately needed trade union support to win the primary in Pennsylvania, and unions are strongly opposed to the US-Colombia trade deal.''

  • It's interesting to see the internal political competition used, and how is has absolutley nothing to do with what needs to be done.

    Lobbyists here, Politicians there,
    Stategy here. Corruption there.

  • If someone(s) is trying to sink the Clinton campaign they need to work much faster before she hands the presidency to Sen. McCain on a silver platter.

    Very well said, and poetic too.

  • I've picked up on a similarvibe. I do think the media in past months have tried to smuther out Hillarys campaign. I also think that the media has put a lot of hot air under Obamas wings with hopes he will be the nominee because he is less likely to win in the general election. Also, they have put it in people minds that Hillary not giving up is tearing the Dem party apart, putting the blame on Hillary. The way I see it in some senses it is polarizing but anyone with a rational head on there shoulders will vote Dem in November.
