Politicians get let off the hook for all their dirty deeds by these dirty deeds being attributed to "mistakes."
All a politician has to do come Election Day is claim they made
"mistakes" in voting this or that way or taking this or that position.
Hillary Clinton is the epitome of a politician constantly "apologizing"
for past "mistakes." She attributes her vote to support Bush and the
Iraq War to a "mistake."
Hillary Clinton attributes her attempt
to cover up her crimes in defense of U.S. imperialism by using a private
e-,mail server to a "mistake" when everyone knows it was all done very
cleverly to evade responsibility and accountability... but Bernie
Sanders brushes this off as nothing but a little thing some Republicans
are making a big thing about when what the Republicans are making a big
thing about is the wrong thing when the real thing is even bigger.
We are supposed to overlook all the wrong-doings by Obama simply as
"mistakes;" from his drone wars to Obamacare which is really far from
"affordable health care" and nothing but the "Health Insurance and
Pharmaceutical Industry Bailout and Profit Maximization Act of 2010"---
such evil and pernicious legislation doesn't get enacted by "mistake"
any more than do these dirty wars happen by "mistake."
So we
just attribute all the problems like wars, lack of health care,
unemployment, failure to enforce Affirmative Action, bailing out Wall
Street to "mistakes?"
Is funding Israel to carry out genocide against the Palestinian people simply attributable to "mistakes?"
"Mistakes" or carrying out Wall Street's reactionary agenda?
Was it simply a "mistake" when Hillary Clinton not only supported, but
advocated, for a Wal-mart policy of firing pregnant women while on
Wal-mart's board?
Is it simply a "mistake" that Bernie Sanders
voted, over and over again, to approve "Compacts" creating the Indian
Gaming Industry which has forced some two-million casino workers to be
employed in loud, noisy, smoke-filled casinos trapped in poverty wage
jobs without any rights under state or federal labor laws?
Has it
been simply "mistakes" that have caused both Bernie Sanders and Hillary
Clinton to turn their backs in indifference to millions of workers who
have been swindled out of their pension funds by Wall Street "investors"
and "pension fund advisors" and looked the other way as millions more
are cheated out of Social Security they are entitled to but denied
because these politicians have refused to put in place the monitoring of
what employers do with the money they withhold for Social Security but
keep for themselves instead of paying into the Social Security Trust
Fund making workers responsible for policing the employers themselves
knowing that any questioning of employers will most likely lead to
termination?
Is it simply a "mistake" that neither Bernie Sanders
nor Hillary Clinton who both claim to be such good friends to workers
and unions remain completely silent when it comes to "At-Will
Employment" legislation which allows an employer to fire workers without
just cause? This is the main impediment to union organizing in this
country.
I'm not buying this stuff about these politicians making "mistakes."
It is simply impossible for politicians to make so many "mistakes" that
hurt so many people while these same "mistakes" further enrich so few
people.
The evil and pernicious intent is present when these Wall Street bribed politicians make these decisions--- all of them.
So now Sanders' supporters claim he has no doing or responsibility with
Hillary Clinton making him part of her "team." Just one more Clinton
"mistake" and one more time Bernie Sanders has made a "mistake" by not
speaking up that Hillary Clinton is being deceiving. Give me a break;
it's all part of Wall Street's grand plan.
When was the last time you made a "mistake" that determined how many people would die in a war or be denied a job or health care?
Should we just cut these politicians a little slack and surrender our precious votes to them in spite of all the "mistakes" they have made?
When is enough really ENOUGH?
