Ron X:

The Clintons, their MACHINE and their ilk will never change -- and that should not be the focus, nor was it the point. The point is to REPAIR the infrastructure/apparatus of what we like to think is the world's best Democracy -- to ensure those who would EXPLOIT its frailties and, having held Office not done whatever it took/takes to ensure the systems work FOR Democracy and not AGAINST it -- are in place. Every cycle we are faced with a dillema about the insecurity if the voting systems in place with much hand wringing, when we can all go to an ATM anywhere in the world and do our banking. This neglect works for the status quo politicians. They depend upon it as the last place to thwart voters who do not do what they want. It works FOR incumbents and prevents newcomers from breaking through. THAT MUST END. ANY American of good standing should be able to run for Office anywhere in this great land -- and have a fair playing field to do so. Tammany Hall-like MACHINES, operatives, special interests are costing Americans too much. THIS breakdown needs more than handwringing by establishment politicians who had/have the reins of power to change this setup, but don't. Skip the "conspiracy theory" incindiary language and focus on the problem...and those who FEED off the problem. NOBODY can say this setup is working. Call it whatever you want, but turn the page.
