So, this is a letter I drafted to the current Democratic frontrunners. I am not sure I will send it because I am not really into politics, plus I don't know much about politics so I am not too confident about my theories... but their party cannibalism pissed me off.

What do you all think?


Hello,

I am sending this letter identically to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. While I am not a strong supporter of either of you, or politics in general, I will be voting for one of you. I despise the current President and believe he has funneled the country towards ruin, and I hope we can survive the repercussions of the global morass he has gotten us into.

I woke up this morning to read, perhaps a bit later than others more into politics than I, that the two of you are “sniping at one another as if the campaign were in midstream” and “trading jabs in their first public spat” due to some comments made by David Geffen which caused a bit of understandable defensiveness in Mrs. Clinton and a… let’s call it an “escalation in attitude” between both of you.

The cause of this escalation doesn’t matter. The media is portraying Mrs. Clinton as a little baby, crying because she thinks mommy likes her brother better. And while Mr. Obama is (in my opinion) correct for not apologizing for someone else’s personal view, taking a stonewall-reaction approach to debatably offensive comments is not the best way to deal with them politically (Look up Donald Rumsfeld in your history book if you need proof.)

Let me be blunt – you are both fools for fighting each other on personal issues rather than concentrating on destroying the weakened Republican party, which, after the last election, is poised for self-implosion. You should both immediately, while standing next to each other and shaking hands, tell the media that you have worked out this minor misunderstanding and are concentrating on your plans to improve the nation and reverse the destruction wrought on this country by the current regime.

One of you will be the Democratic choice for President, but that doesn’t mean you’ll win. Mrs. Clinton, I’m sure you want to try and slow down Mr. Obama’s momentum, but this is begging to be spun into yet another “democrats can’t agree on anything, all they do is fight each other” story. Bash each other during primary season. This early in the game, the right move is for both of you to unite against Republicans - this is the best way to ensure one of you will win the Presidency. You need to pound the Right into the ground. Are you so confident you can beat McCain/Giuliani that you want to spend fifteen months fighting the undercard and only three in the main event, rather than vice-versa?

Thank you.
