I remember when she first came to national attention as the future First Lady. Bill touted her as being a bonus, kind of like a two for one deal. After being elected, Bill turned her loose to push her own agenda: The dreaded Socialist plot to implement "Universal Health Care". A stunned nation prodded on by their Republican congress members soon shot down any hope of Hillary's desire to insure everyone.
For as long as I remember since 91 or 92, it seems to me that the Republican Establishment went after Bill and Hillary with a vengeance. It always seemed to be minor or trivial shit: "Travelgate, Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Bill getting a blow job and lying about it (personally I don't think it was anyone's business) and whatever else they could dredge up. She's being criticized for giving speeches to to corporate boards at over two hundred grand a pop. No one squawked when Reagan made speeches to the highest bidders after leaving office. Recent Emails suggest a pay for play deal while Hillary was Sec of State. Well, NO SHIT! Wrong? Perhaps but really, are we living in a bizzaro world where what she does while being in government is wrong but only because she's a woman? Does anyone really believe that no one else profits and uses the advantages of being a senior government official?

I don't like Hillary but not for the usual reasons. I don't like her because of the way she used an already corrupt political system to steal the nomination from my preferred candidate, Senator Bernie Sanders. He was robbed. We were robbed!
We ended up with a less than stellar candidate as the Democratic Nominee. Lucky for us, the worst possible person in the world won the nomination for the GOP (does that stand for grab our pussies?). Someone who is an extremely detestable person who's popularity stands near 40%. That number is in itself scary. |
