Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Disappoints


RFK, Jr. once said: “the Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt.” This has been widely quoted because of its honest assessment of the corrupt two-party system.


Such honest views of the sad state of America have made Kennedy the darling of many people – liberals, progressives and environmentalists.


But the news yesterday was that this esteemed honest liberal has endorsed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Now he says: “Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to bring the war in Iraq to an end and reverse the potentially devastating effects of global warming. …Hillary will inspire the real change America needs."


Kennedy said he feels "very uncomfortable" about the amount of corporate money flowing into Clinton's campaign, "But I also think you can't come into this race with one arm tied behind your back." How’s that for convenient rationalization?
