This is one of the stupidest arguments of all time:
I am watching, with great disappointment, people whom I respect in the Congress who endorsed Hillary Clinton — I assume because she was the leader they felt could best represent the party and lead the country — now switching to Barack Obama with the excuse that their constituents have spoken.I may be a cynic, but I’m a fairly knowledgeable political cynic. If Mr. Obama wins the nomination, those members are undoubtedly concerned that they would be inviting a primary challenge in their next re-election campaign by failing to support his candidacy.
Fine -- politicians might be switching positions to win votes. That's the freakin' point of democracy! Let the people decide!
There's nothing nefarious about a politician listening to his or her constituents. Good lord!
What does Ferraro want? A benevolent dictator?
