Ouch, Hillary just got bitch slapped

Filed in Uncategorized by on December 27, 2007

This is going to leave a mark!

  In seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, Mrs. Clinton lays claim to two traits nearly every day: strength and experience. But as the junior senator from New York, she has few significant legislative accomplishments to her name. She has cast herself, instead, as a first lady like no other: a full partner to her husband in his administration, and, she says, all the stronger and more experienced for her “eight years with a front-row seat on history.”

An interview with Mrs. Clinton, conversations with 35 Clinton administration officials and a review of books about her White House years suggest that she was more of a sounding board than a policy maker, who learned through osmosis rather than decision-making, and who grew gradually more comfortable with the use of military power.

My biggest problem with Clinton, or big problem, is the assumption that the D ticket is hers for the taking.  It isn’t and she only has experience picking the curtains and sheets for the Oval Office not running it.

    Choosing HRC is not much more than GOP-Big-Business-Fluffing-Lite, IMHO.

    The CoRPoraTiOnS will still rule the day if she’s POTUS.

    I just have trouble wrapping my mind around the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton pattern. It looks like America is dependent on two families for leadership. I don’t believe that is true. But I strongly suspect that VonCracker is right, the Corporatists control two families and so that’s what we’re going to get.

    Hilary the neo con! Hilary who says she will “expand Nafta”! Thats right Hill, send the rest of our jobs overseas! Any fool who believes that Hill and Bill are moderates, centurists, or liberals, I will show you a neo con in a pant suit.

    She now refers to here Health Care plan as universal health care, even though the NYTimes article says it is anything but…business as usual feeding the corporation for profit health care insurance company, HMO’s just like Richard Nixon planned for America.

    This country is too rascist to elect Obama and he has his own crap! Supporting nuclear power, his wife involved in insurance company power houses, making sure there will never be a health care plan in the US that keeps our jobs here.
    So that leaves Edwards, no garbarge, no baggage, his lifestory in Time or Newsweek, forget which proves he comes from the grassroots and I believe he is sincere in his Two Americas views…cuz that is what we have!

    Edwards could win the general against any of the repukes! As the republican strategist on Meet the Press stated, “its John Edwards we fear”. Take that to the bank.

  4. Well that post could have been written by me–minus the crude language. Are you guys slipping?
