Is It Time For Clinton To Step Down?

Secretary Clinton's tour of Africa seems to be creating a new mantra: Stick foot in mouth continually.

If you haven't heard, Hillary Clinton can't seem to let go of the election in 2000. Supposedly, our republic is "still evolving" and obviously when you are the governor of a state while your brother is running for president, you must automatically be guilty of fixing the election. So 230 years of national sovereignty means we are "still evolving"?

So the political process isn't good enough for her? Is she still bitter about losing the election so many had handed her 8 years earlier? Also, we are so obviously "comparable" in our governance to that of Nigeria, which is run by corrupt people who maim and kill in order to take elections from their opponents. Right....

I saw a post by someone that actually thinks that everything is okay with what Clinton said because she was only in Nigeria - "a nation that isn't a world power". Yet there is a problem. If you google, yahoo, or bing this gaffe you will find that other world news organizations have jumped on it.

When the Secretary of State is on a tour of nations, this person is supposed to be garnering respect for the nation they represent, not dissing it. Could she have phrased it better? I think so. 2000 did challenge us as a nation because it was the first election since the early 1800s to almost be forced into the House for a final vote.

But instead of speaking about the resilience of our process and the fact that our election methods work, she wanted to play the conspiracy card that she so vehemently denounced as First Lady. Wrong answer!

Do I have a problem with our election process? Yep. I firmly believe that electoral votes should never be winner-take-all, because it does not represent the true vote! Each electoral vote should count on its own merit so that each electoral college is properly represented. But that is a case for another time.

I have had enough of her diatribes. I honestly wonder if she and others like her are sill living in the sixties where fantasy ruled.
