The following was a response to Mr. Kristof’s Op-Ed Piece for the New York Times entitled “Who gets it? Hillary”
Dear Mr. Kristof,
I was a bit miffed at the thrust of your article on “Who gets it?..Hillary”. It seems to me the only fair game in your mind is how to win the White House, regardless of the price! Following such advise will cost the Democratic Party a heavy sacrifice for years to come: A centrist policy based on God and its attributes for a mighty country who is to be the Empire of the 21st century is probably too myopic. If these are the only
concerns, then the billion dollar question is why should any American voters opt for an imitation of a real thing!! The innovation of the Center-right politics is the prerogative of the Republicans. In following this path, they have been genuine and they tend to master the game as they go along. So, why should anybody vote for the “forged money”? Politics followed by a very flaky individual such as H. Clinton, namely, “Follow the LEADER and stay the course” have not only forced the Democrats to an
unnatural presence, but also failed them to stay the course. To avoid the ‘flip-flop’ path which J. Kerry was forced to adopt in the course of his campaign, Democratic party should set clearly its differences with that of the centrist right policies in power
now. These policies identifiable with the original thrust of the party’s objectives,should provide a clear alternative to voters in America.
