Piling on Hillary, Now That is Fun

Dec 14, 2007 Political

I have never been shy about my dislike for Hillary Clinton. She is a manipulative liar who has been planning to be president for decades after making a pact with her equally dishonest husband. He was to be first and then it was her turn, as if people get turns at leading this country. That idea in and of itself shows that she feels entitled to the job and that it is rightfully hers. She has been the front runner for a long time and was dubbed the inevitable winner of the nomination. Now it appears that her inevitable run is in jeopardy and people are piling on her after a bad month or so.

Hillary promised not to go negative and that she was focusing on the issues. In a debate, Bill Richardson (hoping to be selected as Hillary’s VP) came to her defense and said that they should stop picking on her. She indicated that if people were going to throw mud they should get their facts straight. She had been sliding in the polls and after the debate she slid even farther and all of the sudden she was going to get dirty, something she called “fun.”

Hillary went into open attack mode (she and surrogates had been attacking in secret all along) and she picked on what Obama wrote in kindergarten. This was not exactly a smart move. Remember Hillary wanted to be a number of things when she was a child and I don’t think those ideas should be used against her, unless of course, she lied about them so she would look more human. Then one of her staff sent out the Obama is a Muslim email and Hillary had to deny it. Polls dropping. Then one of her people questioned Obama’s admitted past drug use. I predicted that would haunt her especially given her husband’s lame lie about his own. Polls dropped further and Obama becomes tied or is slightly ahead. Campaign workers resign (or were fired) over the incidents.

Hillary started last January as the heir apparent and is now in position to be an also ran. She is in danger of losing the first four primaries which would likely be a death blow to her campaign. She went into this week’s debate in an unfamiliar position, as a person trying to catch up. For once, she was not the front runner. Her husband is in a tizzy and her campaign, despite what she says, is in a shambles. Bill is so worked up his ailing heart might explode before this thing is over and it appears as if the recent influx of campaign workers has some concerned that some caucus tampering might be forthcoming. I know the Clintons have denied this but they deny everything. Does anyone actually think they will ever admit to any wrong doing? They have been caught a number of times and yet they deny, deny, deny and then when there is evidence they blame someone or something else. The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy comes to mind.

Hillary continues to say she is the best to fend off the Republican “attack machine” (as if the Democrats do not have their own) because she has been under scrutiny for 16 years and has nothing to hide. This is only partly true. She has been under scrutiny but she has plenty to hide. The truth is still out there with regard to the many scandals they have both been involved in. Someone with hard evidence could show up and really blow her out of the water. I know a lot of the people with evidence are dead but that does not mean there are no others. One bimbo eruption with video or DNA evidence with respect to Bill during the general election and she is toast. She presses on but there are many sources now doubting if she can win the primary or, if she does, the general.

  • The notion that she has a post-Iowa “firewall” in New Hampshire is a fantasy, and she is in danger of losing all four early contests, including Nevada and South Carolina – probably to Sen. Barack Obama, who is now, in momentum terms, the Democratic front runner. [MSNBC]
  • Barack Obama has come from behind to turn the Democratic presidential race in New Hampshire into a toss-up, according to a new Monitor opinion poll. The results – which show Obama with a one-point edge over Hillary Clinton – mirror other polls released this week, indicating that Clinton’s once-imposing lead has evaporated in the run-up to New Hampshire’s Jan. 8 primary.

  • This thought occurs that Hillary Clinton’s entire campaign is, and always was, a Potemkin village, a giant head fake, a haughty facade hollow at the core. That she is disorganized on the ground in Iowa, taken aback by a challenge to her invincibility, that she doesn’t actually have an A team, that her advisers have always been chosen more for proven loyalty than talent, that her supporters don’t feel deep affection for her.

  • “If I had listened to … the Washington chattering class, I would not be standing here would I?” Clinton told reporters, as controversy and reports of campaign turmoil swirled around her 2008 presidential bid.

    “I believe in trusting my own instincts. I feel very, very good about the case that I am making.” [Breitbart]

The last quote is from Hillary and I expect that all candidates feel they are the best so this is no surprise. The problem is, she did listen to the DC chattering class. A lot of them told her to run and she has more endorsements from Democrats in Congress than any other candidate. She wanted to run and they knew it so they encouraged her to run though she would have done it anyway. She believes it is her destiny.

As far as trusting her instincts, how did that work out with her and Bill with regard to his rape and sexual assaults? Did she have any instincts telling her something was amiss? Did she ignore them in order to pursue her dream of being president? She did say there are worse things than the infidelity (and there are). Did she mean losing her chance at the White House.

Remember, without Bill she would be an unknown and she would never have been elected to office. She only has his last name as a plus to the electorate, otherwise no one would know her and they certainly would not vote for her.

It will be fun over the next few weeks. I predict that there will be more dirt despite Hillary’s claim that it will not happen again. She is desperate and she sees her destiny slipping away. The compact primary season makes recovery very difficult and she will be on the ropes if Obama can pull off wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.

I can’t wait for the fun if she loses. I think she might have a nervous breakdown and start accusing all kinds of people of incompetence.

One last thing. There are very important votes taking place in Congress this week. The federal government needs a budget and our troops need money. Why are all the people running for office not in Congress doing the work of the people?
