“A political solution, while more desirable, is not possible until one side of a conflict has their nose bloodied sufficiently to start talking and stop fighting.” - Yours Truly
Hillary Clinton will say or do anything to get elected. All that she seeks; indeed, all that she lives for is absolute power. She has demonized, henpecked, browbeaten, slurred, exaggerated, lied and bullied her way to where she is today with no indication she is about to stop now. To the contrary, her recent comments indicate she is continuing her fabrications in hot pursuit of the Presidency.
Forget that we got “two for the price of one” when we elected “Billary”, it wasn’t much of a bargain. Forget about the scandals. Travelgate… The FBI files… The Rose Law Firm… Vince Foster… Web Hubbel… Questions about cattle futures… Forget that she was a Cubs fan, or a Yankees fan or both… Forget about the ethnic and racial slurs that many witnesses have confirmed over the years. Let’s focus on the present, shall we?
She supports amnesty for illegals, yet recently criticized Republicans –all that stands in her way– for obstructing Democrats on meaningful immigration reform. She claims the G.O.P. isn’t moving fast enough and that she would do better than they securing the border, yet her efforts could add 60 – 100 million people to the US population in the next 20 years. The truth is, no one knows exactly where she stands on important issues.
Project Vote Smart is a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort to educate voters. Candidates are administered a “test”, called the NPAT, to independently gauge their positions on wide range of policy matters. Candidates are not asked what they oppose, only what they support. Hillary Clinton flat out refuses to answer the NPAT.
On television, Clinton exaggerated her little junket to Iraq as if she was sharing in both the risks and the sacrifices of American soldiers. She also took the opportunity to lie and embellish once again. She stated that upon reaching Iraq, due to bad weather, they were advised they [Clinton, Evan Bayh(D-IN) and perhaps others] may have to divert. Their response, as she recounted to Greta Van Susteren, was that they said “Let’s try to get in to Baghdad”. My inner cynic tells me there was more to it than that.
Clinton actually overruled military brass on the ground, possibly putting US pilots and aircrews at risk, just so she could say she’d been there on the ground and the security situation sucks.
Then she told yet another whopper about not being able to chopper in to Baghdad, and having to drive the Highway of Death from the Baghdad Airport to the US controlled Green Zone, which, if she knew her you-know-what from a hole in the ground, she should know is in Southern Iraq. It is where US forces corralled Iraqi troops into a kill box after the latter fled Kuwait in 1991. Stretching yet again, she suggested that because she has to wear body armor (well, she doesn’t have to), that US forces are constrained in their movements and that this has contributed to a lack of intelligence which in turn has contributed to George Bush’s mistakes.
But by far, the biggest indicators of her foreign policy ignorance, tactical ineptitude, and a prime example of the hot air she spews, is her parroting of the Democratic talking points regarding a “phased redeployment”. She criticizes Bush for not sending enough troops, while in the same breath proposing a “cap” on the number of troops. That is for the Generals to decide, not Hillary Clinton.
She won’t give our fighting men the reinforcements or relief necessary to accomplish their mission, then proposes having them “redeploy” in phases. Redeploy to where? How many phases? How many men in each phase? Over how long? Who goes first? Who goes last? Who provides security when we only have a few thousand troops left?
Finally, I leave you with this thought…
Being an American is a privilege. I thank my maker every day for that honor; for that privilege. In her own words, Hillary Clinton thinks that being an American is an obligation. It may be a slip of her forked tongue, but the words of politicians are constantly scripted and often belie cultural disdain for those they govern.
My opposition to Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with her being the most divisive, power-drunk, political figure that I have observed in my lifetime. There is simply too much documented evidence that she will say or do whatever it takes to seize absolute power, no matter how dishonest.
