Why I dislike Hillary

Hil-liar first came to my attention as the desperate-to-be-important appendage to Bill Clinton's campaign for President in 1992. I could not figure out why she was paraded front and center -- or forced herself to the forefront -- at every opportunity. I was in law school at the time and so had more than average interest in the process of the primaries as well as the whole election season. She seemed to me to be irrelevant: Gov. Bill Clinton was out there doing his thing, hoodwinking a nation about his bright new future (remember that Jefferson Starship song?) and there was this slightly dowdy -- but strident -- wife of his, a partner at a Little Rock law firm.

What little I knew of Arkansas politics was of corruption, state house shenanigans, the Tysons, and some local, but extremely wealthy investment bankers controlling the whole mess. How could these yokels use that cesspit as a stepping stone to the Presidency of the United States? On a character basis, success in Arkansas should, by all rights, disqualify you from the Presidency, per se. Still, they prospered and we all know about the "Comeback Kid." I was bemused, especially given that Bill had been thrown out the State House in Little Rock because of gross mismanagement, wild cronyism, allegations of corruption (suspicion of sexual misconduct) and a complete failure to do what he had promised. Then, through careful political handling, the power brokers of Little Rock managed to put him back into office. Hil-liar, meanwhile, had been active in D.C. politics, and was in the process of shucking Bill as a loser. By "loser", I mean someone that was not going to be able to restrain himself from his proclivities and so forfeit his shot at the White House. For it was for that precise aim, that suburban Chicago-raised, Wellesley and Yale educated Hil-liar had decided to attach herself to him. Not love. Not admiration -- raw, naked ambition. Until Bill got himself straightened out, she had planned to get rid of him. But he did manage, and Hil-liar came back to Little Rock (which she hated, because everyone there hated her -- she refused to play the part for which she had apparently signed on) and took the reigns of the "Good Ship Clinton." Hil-liar captained that ship, not for Bill, but for herself. She wanted to get to the White House, and being pragmatic, she realized that she could never get elected to office herself. She understood that she was very dislikable and, sadly for the United States, as a woman, failing to be likable placed her even further away from her goal.

Not that there were no women in politics at that point in the United States, there had been various women Governors of States (Texas, Connecticut, New Jersey to name a few). But nobody like Hil-liar: she played by her rules, damn anyone else. She refused to play the game.
So, by managing Bill -- for which she deserves a Nobel medal for sheer creativeness and ingenuity -- she got to the White House ... with Bill "sort of" stating that the American people were getting a "twofer" package. His brilliant wife was going to reform health care. Yay. Whoopee.

But -- THIS IS IMPORTANT -- the American people did NOT elect Hil-liar. They elected the charismatic and deeply flawed Bill Clinton. The pathological liar Bill Clinton -- who happened to be married to the most ruthless and intelligent wife seen since Lucrezia Borgia. Smoke and mirrors won the day and the Clintons settled into 1700 Pennsylvania Ave.

Make no mistake -- and some political pundits with far greater insight than I -- saw that at this point Hil-liar had already set her sights on the top job for herself. JUST AS SHE HAD ALWAYS TOLD HER FRIENDS AT WELLESLEY SHE WOULD. Trouble is, she totally screwed up the job of health care, had alienated half of Congress and the Senate, and revealing she had totally "dissed" the face of American women who choose to stay at home -- doing the vital job of raising the American family. Dismissive might not even begin to describe her attitude.

Chelsea ... as soon as she possibly could, she dumped Chelsea on a nanny to spend as much time as she could doing more "important" things -- ironically to do with children's rights (good political cred for the future). This was not nanny for necessity, it was child for necessity of resume, and get it out of my face, I am busy. Unfair? I don't think so, too many people have stepped forwards to state this view who were "working" with the Clintons. Even more ironic? BILL fell totally heads-over-heels in love with his daughter. Doted on her. Refused to let her go and do the politically correct things that Hil-liar had ordered. Makes me feel better about Bill.

Bill could not and cannot keep his pecker in his pants. Sad, but true, and Hil-liar, in her ambition to ascend the throne, has covered, lied, dissembled, acted and whatever to protect -- not Bill -- but herself from this fact, and the acts entailed. She has personally threatened various of the women Bill has abused: "don't tell or rock the boat .. or else." This is not my allegation, read the book "The Truth About Hillary" by Ed Klein, he cites names and dates. If these were untrue, don't you think that they'd sue? Hil-liar tried to force the publisher to "spike" the book, but failed. Don't mess with the Clinton machine, you are "with" them or against them, as many erstwhile Hollywood contributors have discovered through their support of Obama.

You see, Hil-liar will stomp anyone in her way. Vanity Fair was going to do an article on Bill -- and include some items that Hil-liar thought would prejudice her cause. The campaign let it be know the editors that if they EVER hoped to have access to Bill again, they needed to cease and desist. And if they got to the White House (at that point last year, she was the "certain" candidate), Vanity Fair could just shut their doors. Strange how that tends to focus the attention of the editors ... and owners.

Hil-liar managed to paper over the Lewinsky affair from the point of view of marriage. But, any self-respecting partner (note that I did not say "woman") would have dumped Bill as soon as possible thereafter. But their conniving left a far greater stain -- on the Presidency. Consider: no President since Andrew Johnson in the 1880's had been impeached, and Johnson was acquitted in the Senate. Bill wasn't. The Senate simply did not have the balls to remove him from office. And you know, it wasn't the unseemly nature of having an intern provide oral sex to the President that was the charge, but the perjury to a Grand Jury and obstruction of justice. This from the man who, as the Chief of the Executive Branch, WAS the top law man in the US of A. Any other decent man would have stepped down from office. We might have had Algore as President then and in 2000. Boosh might not have darkened our steps. Think about that.

But Hil-liar "stood by her man." Bullshit. She had to stay with Bill, because if she didn't, it would have exploded in her face and she would not have been able to run for office herself. For a "wronged little woman" she has managed to fend off Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and a long list of others before (and probably since). But somehow, she kept the whole thing together -- and it was her, not anyone else -- and when they left the White House, they moved to New York. About the only place that was sufficiently knee-jerk liberal to consider Hil-liar for office. Not just any office, but as a Senator. There is a word for this: "carpetbagging." Cynical, but effective.

Let's also look -- however briefly -- at how Hil-liar ran the White House: a motel for contributors. A perk-fountain for Democrats and liberal celebrities. Smart enough on a practical basis, but deeply cynical and dishonest. Never before had any First Couple used the White House as a tool -- which you and I pay for.

Her own little peccadillos? Billing records that go missing but reappear on the day after the statute of limitations expires? FBI files on enemies disappearing then magically re-appearing?
IRS investigations of enemies? Advisors that shoot themselves in the backs of their heads? Advisors that have airplanes shot down by stinger missiles? State Troopers that die in a myriad of bizarre ways? Directors of Enforcement of government agencies that get demoted and re-assigned because they find her trading records out of the ordinary? Loyal employees who are fired only because friends could be hired? Did you ever look at the make-up of her "shadow cabinet" in the Executive offices across the street from the White House (even Hil-liar couldn't get offices for her entire staff in the West Wing, though she tried). In the first term, there was one man. Were only women qualified enough, or is gender discrimination allowable if women are the beneficiaries? Or could Hil-liar only trust women -- a great percentage of them lesbians, at that? Could be. And given Bill....

But why should a taxpayer support an entire shadow cabinet -- for someone they did not hire, that is elect? What right did she have to further burden our economy? Because her husband was elected? That illuminates another critical flaw in her person: "do as I say, don't do as I do." She wants to tell us what is good for us ... but does not want to live by the same rules. She is important. We are not. Her work is important, but our hope, dreams, aspirations are not. Her desire to impose her societal paradigm on the U.S. is breathtaking: forget this move to the center BS that we have seen since her ascension to the Senate, she was, is and will forever be a committed socialist. For surely as she has never waivered in her pursuit of the Presidency, you can have faith that her core beliefs have not altered.

This list is only the tip of the iceberg. But given her toughness in actually calling to warn off potential female embarrassments provided by Bill, managing his access to trouble, facing down federal subpoenas do you think that she "welled up" in New Hampshire and again in Connecticut because she was "overcome" and that it was a natural womanly thing? Are you insane? Look, she does not want to "offer opportunities" to the American people, she wants the power of the White House, no matter what. Bill was a tool that almost backfired -- and continues to be a liability -- but needed. You and I are her "useful idiots," and so is Bill.

It makes me crazy to see people swallow her garbage hook, line and sinker. I WISH that she were a man, because it would make it so much easier for the people of this country to grasp the fact that it is the character of this person that makes her a disaster in the making, not the gender. The gender is irrelevant. IF she were a man, people would be aghast at her manipulations and disregard for propriety, ethics and morals. And those charges could be laid at her feet without regard to civility and bias. She is irredeemably power-hungry and it must be said ... evil. Much of the same can be leveled at John McCain. Is she smart? Absolutely -- fiendishly so. Capable? Uh huh, without doubt. Decent? No, under no circumstances can that be attributed to her.

Contrast that with Barack Obama. He wants the Presidency too, and always has. But he is always civil, courteous, and considerate. As with Mitt Romney. And it is this contrast that makes it so clear why Hil-liar is an unworthy candidate for the Presidency of this United States.
