On Hillary and Elvis

Now...some people wonder if people who criticize Hillary or praise another candidature simply hate Hillary. Now, I am sure there are people who may fit the stereotype, people who never liked her, never will like her, and who are blind to virtues, just as some felt and feel that way about Obama.

However, some of us, even if we do not LOVE Hillary, want her to succeed. Some of us are even happy as hell and giving her praise she made leftward moves like Keystone and prosecuting Drug price gouging Overlords, moves that Lloyd Blankfeld nor Mark Penn are probably happy about. The reason I mentioned Elvis is because of "love." Many people LOVED Elvis, and they genuinely thought they were helping him, because they really did want him to become the biggest thing ever. Some people helped him get the pills he wanted, and in many case, really did need because of his pain. Some people kept dying his hair black, even though his body was revealed to have prematurely white hair thanks to stress. Some have him the fatty food, the cocaine, and some kept booking him on tour because they wanted him to get back to the top of the charts. In addition to those who did mean him well, there were some that knew they would prosper regardless of how much tragedy happened. He had Col. Tom Parker, who got most of the money.

Of course, like many before, and many since, Elvis got too much of what he wanted, and too little of what he needed. How is this like Hillary, because, to be honest, those who "Love" Hillary might be killing her chances by making sure she maintains her bad habits and keeps around her own warm of exploiters who will frankly do as well with her campaign alive or dead. Am I calling Mark Penn in 2008 her Col. Tom Barker...yes, because just as Hillary losing did not ruin his wallet or cred, so did Col Tom die a rich old man. Yes, I am calling DWS her new Tom Barker, because even if this campaign becomes her third in a series of big league FAILURES, she will go to Florida, talk to her old friends, and be just as rich and powerful as always, even MORE so with "old friends" like Marco and Jeb.

If Hillary make it, it will be as much due to the people that wanted her to get what she needs as it is due to the people who wanted to give her what she wanted. The difference being, when Elvis died, the world went on, and many of the people who used him only got richer, a pattern that repeats every time rock stars die and the people who helped run into an early grave strike it rich. We may disagree with Hillary on some things, just like many of us would not like the fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches you can buy near Graceland so you can eat like the King. However, we want to avoid another tragedy and if Hillary fails because she self destructs, and is encouraged to engage in that behavior, we will all fail, because the GOP knows they can smell our blood. They want to turn American into a cross between a Mausoleum and Am,usement park, full of Jungle Room Kitsch and made in China souvenirs.

Let's NOT go to Graceland.
