With all due respect, I don't have to like Hillary. She is a cold hearted ice bitch. I think she is a lousy candidate and a mediocre senator. Her displays of emotion are contrived and ... well... embarasing. Further, she is likely to be a disastrous president. Isn't it funny how many of those who have worked with her closely hate her as well? And there are many among the Democrats (not just the lunatic right), such as myself, who get sent into spasms.
LIke it or not, she dredges up the contention. She is not being "vilified for being a women," but rather for being a divisive public persona. Consider what she has done to people of her own party:
1) Clinton cronies suing to prohibit caucuses held at nine casino worksites when Obama was endorsed over HRC by the 60,000-strong Culinary Workers Union — followed by Bill pushing legal limits by flagrantly campaigning up to the very last minute in the actual rooms where the caucuses were being held.
2) The Clinton camp is abandoning even minimal standards of common decency by using resorting to Karl Rove style push-polling in California, just as they did in Nevada. (Hopefully, their push-poll efforts will be as effective as they were in SC).
3) Bill Clinton tried to attack his ol’ friend Ted Kennedy by linking Kennedy to Bush and the failure of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program. Funny thing, though, Slick Willy forgot to mention that HRC also strongly supported the NCLB bill.
4) Hillary claims to have spent 35 years in public service. After law school, she did indeed go to work for a non-profit organization…and stayed for less than ONE year before joining the high-end Rose law firm in a high-paying position for FIFTEEN YEARS!
5) Hillary counts her eight years as First Lady in the White House and the years she spent as First Lady of Arkansas in her "many years of public service." Billary states that HRC was deeply involved in decision-making and policy matters. Yet, she claims that there would be no co-Presidency with Bill. Hey, Bill - are you aware of this?
Are we to believe that she would not allow Bill, who actually does have executive experience as both President and as a governor, the same access and input that she supposedly had during his administrations in both Washington and Arkansas?
6) Of course, one cannot forget the Billary race-baiting after the SC primary, nor the repeated use of Barack Obama’s middle name (Hussein) when push-polling, nor the attempted smears by Clinton surrogate and CEO of BET about Obama’s admitted mistakes during his teenage years. Hell, Hillary even trotted out Obama’s kindergarten teacher and a supposed essay he wrote when he was five as proof that he has been thinking about running for President for longer than he stated. (Frankly, I’m impressed that he was writing essays at age five - most of us were still learning how to write our letters at that age).
I can scarcely believe that the Democrats are so focused on nominating such a shitty candidate. I thought John Kerry in 2004 would take the cake, apparently, I thought wrong. It is my sincere hope Obama crushes her today. The thought of voting Republican after the past 8 years makes me physically ill.
