Hillary Does not Understand the Military
Apr 13, 2008 Political
Once again the Socialist part of Hillary Clinton has reared its ugly head. Clinton was speaking at a transmission plant in Indianapolis when she started discussing Pentagon contracts. Ms. Clinton told the workers that the Pentagon would have to look at how a contract affected jobs in America during the award process. Hillary must have missed my article about the Pentagon NOT being a social welfare department.
Speaking at a plant here that builds transmissions for military vehicles, Clinton said she would limit the Defense Department’s ability to buy foreign-made products, in part by making the agency consider the impact on U.S. jobs when it awards contracts. WBAL
Clinton is obviously pandering to people working on a defense project. She is trying to portray problems as a failure of the Bush administration (she used those words) and that she would ensure Americans had work because she would make the Pentagon look at the impact on American workers. This is typical of liberals because they never expect people to have to produce quality in order to be rewarded. I am sure these workers do the best job they can and are proud to be working on items for our troops and I am sure they would not want troops saddled with substandard items just to appease politicians or to ensure jobs.
The Pentagon should not have to look at how jobs are affected. The goal of the Pentagon is to procure the best equipment for our troops regardless of who makes it (short of enemy or potential enemy countries). If American companies want to win contracts then they need to put forth a proposal that shows why they are the best for the job. They need to make superior products for a reasonable cost in order to win. The Pentagon certainly does not select companies because they are the cheapest or the worst so if American companies are not winning it is because their product does not match up, plain and simple.
Once again we have a Clinton using the military as a social program. In this case it is to provide jobs and in her husband’s case it was to make homosexuality socially acceptable by allowing gays to openly serve. The Pentagon is not the social welfare department and exists to make sure we have the best equipment and best troops to defend this nation. Besides, the Pentagon provides a great number of jobs already. People can enlist in any of the branches of the service and they will have a great job.
The Pentagon does not need Clinton or anyone else playing politics with the procurement process. This in and of itself shows why she is not fit to be the President.
Clinton also addressed the issue of security and ensuring our technologies are not sold off to other countries. I wonder why nothing like this was in place when her husband sold missile technology to the Chinese in exchange for donations. Somehow I don’t think the Pentagon is what we need to worry about with regard to security. Seems to me that the Clintons are a security risk in and of themselves.
Hillary has run an abysmal campaign. She has tried to be everything to everyone. She might have had a better chance if she actually took stands and stuck with them (and did not lie) but now she is toast and she is only hanging on because she is delusional (not that I mind them continuing to ruin the party). These recent remarks clearly demonstrate another reason Hillary Clinton should never run this country.
Defending Hillary
Dec 5, 2007 Political
As anyone who reads this blog knows, I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. I have never met her and yet I have this genuine hatred for her and all she stands for. Not only does she rub me the wrong way but her habit of lying and manipulating is off putting and in my mind she is Satan in the flesh. However, on the rare occasion that I find she is being treated unfairly or that something is not fair I feel that I should weigh in on the side of what is right.
There is a story in The Politico that discusses an email sent by a Clinton staffer to some number of other staffers. One of the recipients replied that it was racist and disgusting and that was all that was done. The email in question is about Obama and his supposed Muslim connections. The email, which has circulated for years, is about Obama being a covert Muslim who will bring Islam to America. Though I personally do not trust Obama the email has been debunked quite some time ago. Besides, if he turned out to be a covert Muslim he could not get much done without the approval of Congress and he might find America looking to impeach him. Regardless, the email was sent and now there is some question as to whether this was deliberate. For the record, The Politico is just reporting on the story.
I do not know if this was a deliberate attempt by people in the campaign and I do not know if Hillary was aware of it. What I do know is that it was discovered and that the person who originally sent it has resigned. While it happened in her campaign it is impossible for her to know about every email and what is done at the lowest levels around the country. It happened and was taken care of. I think Hillary would say the same thing. I only wish she and her fellow Democrats used this kind of fairness when they ignore their duties (like passing a budget and fixing the AMT) to launch countless investigations that rarely pan out and waste time.
Having said all this, we might learn at some time in the future that Hillary had something to do with the whole thing or that she knew about it well before it was made public (like Bill’s countless affairs including one involving a blue dress). If that is the case she will be done. It would be her scream so to speak and it would cause damage from which she could not recover.
Regardless, this could not have come at a worse time. Hillary just stated she was going to get dirty and go after her opponents and indicated that it would be “fun.” Now wonder there are some who think she had a hand in it.
I wonder if it is “fun” right now over at Camp Hillary?
