A wave of new books about Hillary Clinton casts tinder into the ongoing flames of discomfort with the New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate.
You might suspect damaging books about Hillary, right when the presidential campaign is getting under way, might be politically inspired. But Bay Buchanan's is the only one by a conservative author. Of the other two freshly out, one is by two New York Times reporters, and the other by Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame.
According to the reviews, we have here material to confirm a sense of this woman that already turns so many off. Cold, ruthless, manipulative, dishonest. And, for the more ideologically inclined, Buchanan's portrayal reveals a hard-core left winger dressed up as a moderate for public consumption.
But, look, this is a free country, and Americans are an open and forgiving people.
The issue is who a person a candidate is today. And the fact is candidate Clinton is quite forthcoming about who she is. It's what I see and hear today that turns me and so many others so profoundly off.
Abortion, for example, is by no means a black and white partisan issue. Current law, Roe v. Wade, that permits abortion, is supported by barely more than half the country. Seventy percent of those polled say that partial-birth abortion, the late-term destruction of the infant, should be illegal.
Seventeen Democratic senators voted for the Partial Birth Abortion Act, which bans this procedure, except when the mother's life is in danger.
However, Hillary voted against it, and she condemned the Supreme Court's recent decision upholding the constitutionality of the Act.
This despite ongoing rhetoric from candidate Hillary about the importance of family and her abhorrence of the destruction of life. Yeah, right.
If you want to know about how Sen. Clinton feels about freedom and her confidence that Americans, when acting without government in their face, are a productive and charitable people, you, again, just have to listen to her.
The senator was in true form the other day speaking at a vocational school in New Hampshire.
"Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies."
I don't think Clinton really got the message when the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed.
Other than making sure women can destroy their unborn babies, including teenage girls doing so without permission from their parents, I don't think there is any part of our lives the senator doesn't want to get government, her government, into.
Not only does she oppose freeing up those broken government systems that are failing Americans (our inner city public schools, our Social Security system, Medicare, Medicaid), but Sen. Clinton's answer is more government.
When I stand in the security lines in the airport, I think about what it will be like in the health clinics in the era of Hillary Care.
Clinton went on in New Hampshire to mock President Bush's "ownership society" idea, calling it the "on your own" society. Her ideal, she says, is the "we're all in it together" society.
This woman really hates freedom and has little appreciation that an ownership society and a "we're all in it together" society go hand in hand.
This was graphically shown in a book published last year, "Who Really Cares," by professor Arthur Brooks of Syracuse University.
Professor Brooks studied in depth charitable giving patterns in America. His conclusions: Religious Americans give four times as much as secular Americans; conservative households give 30 percent more than liberal households; and those who believe that government should redistribute income give one-fourth as much as those who do not believe this.
"We're all in it together America" is alive and well. I see it regularly as I travel around the country and speak in churches, at shelters and in crisis pregnancy centers.
The point is, as Brooks' data bear out, Americans who care about their neighbors, who see their country and their lives as more than just about themselves, are the faithful, freedom-loving Americans who believe in ownership and private property.
It's no wonder Sen. Clinton is not aware that this America exists. It's not where she hangs out.
The Clinton campaign is, not surprisingly, dismissing the new books about their candidate as ho-hum and not bringing any new information to the table.
And I think they must be right. Americans are getting a pretty good sense of this woman just by listening to her.
Hillary Clinton's negative ratings have been rising since her campaign began. Before she started, she logged in at 58 percent positive and 40 percent negative, according to Gallup.
In the most recent Gallup poll, she came in at 45 percent positive and 51 percent negative.
I don't think Clinton really got the message when the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union collapsed.
Why don't Americans like her? When you listen to Hillary Clinton speak, you hear an elitist, socialist know it all snob lecturing down at you in a condescending manner. Telling you that you can't lead your life without her at your side. That smarminess turns Americans - off as well as well as her hostility to the idea of freedom. No wonder more people dislike her than approve of her - a perception reinforced every time she opens her mouth.

her recent pronouncements on the failure of america and her socialist solution
should wreck her chances of election,
like her health policy of 1994.
And those are her good points.

Romney (RINO,MA): "I like Hillary. I forced her socialized medicine
HillaryCARE deep down the throats of everyone in Massachusetts
and they will start paying next month."
Whenever I read or hear anything she's written or said, it sounds like some high-school junior's term paper. Simplistic, inevitably socialist solutions to complicated problems. It nauseated me in high school and it still does.
My concern is that she's pretending to go "centrist," whatever that is, and there are a *lot* of sheep out there...
ick.
i’m not voting for him.
lived around mormons all my life.
they proseletize you constantly, and finally when it sinks in to their narrow-minded brains that you’re not interested, they shun you. same with jehovah’s witnesses.
cults.
When it comes down to punching a chad or pushing a button, the Dems will come home at the end and vote for her. They are not going to vote for a Republican.

interesting that one of my tv-moron neighbors,
thoroughly indoctrinated in leftist hatred of pubbies,
and she decides everything by appearances and emotions,
told me the other day that she would not vote for hillary,
but she would vote for obama or fred thompson because they
are fresh faces.
she crossed over for reagan.
There may be many of those, but I think there will be more young women college-indoctrinated airheads who will vote for the first time. They belong to Hillary.

Yeah, we’re all going to be shocked when Hillary wins in a landslide next year. :(

“Hillary Clinton...an Elitist Socialist Know It All Snob”
Throw in “corrupt” and you have her in a nutshell.
THANKS.
WORTH PRINTING AND HANDING OUT WIDELY.
Just a dangerous, dangerous socialist.
Why Americans Don’t Like Hillary Clinton???
there is not enough space on free republic to address all the reasons!!!!
a pig is a pig no matter how much lipstick is smeared on her snout...
and a communist pig smells no better!!!!
Think about the number of times in recent memory when you've seen her on the tube but don't hear her speaking. She's shown in front of a podium, or making her way toward a stage, but no actual excerpts from her speeches.
I don't want to get conspiratorial, but maybe she's so utterly repellent as a public speaker that media editors don't to put her on TV.
No one including leftie MSM sound editors likes to hear fingernails on a chalkboard.
An elitist socialist know it all snob??? To the Left that’s a compliment. It’s what they aspire to...
I think you’re on to something here. The Press/media knows
how she is received and deliberately minimizes her air time.
Entirely possible.
The airhead Hillary spelled “Tomorrow” wrong.
You speled spel incorreklee.
I think it’s time to dust off and re-read “Hell to Pay” and “The Final Days” by BKO. Gosh! I miss that woman’s input!
The sad thing is how a dedicated socialist about which there is no doubt of her socialism, can run for president.
Obama is to the left of Hillary. Go figure.
Maybe Al Baby made the sign
i hope you’re right-she got arrogant and ran her mouth too soon-of course if she gets the illegal alien vote(this is not meant as a joke)she might grasp power-what a nightmare!!
It’s that flat twang of hers; like fingernails on a chalkboard. No matter what she says, she sounds like a scold.
Response: No not true. She is a dangerous demagogue preying upon a very sick population.

What Prices for the still Free to pay now, I wonder, if HILLARY were to re-enter our Oval Office in a new time of war...
...with our own Freedom at stake right here at home..?

They talk a good game, but when it comes to showing up at the polls, they are notoriously absent.
Hillary began building her own organization in 1992. I am certain that the ground organization she has at colleges is second to none. These people will get out the true believer vote for her. Also, there will be an unprecedented number of absentee ballots from care facilities and mental institutions. Count on it.
No further comment needed ...
Her ideas were written ages ago by some lunatic, Karl Marx. She's a clone of Stalin.
She can't even make her own husband be a husband. She cries about how Bush betrayed her even after her bragging about her careful study on the merits of her vote supporting the war in Iraq. Her own husband betrays her constantly. So are we to think that she will always be at risk for betrayal? Is that why she had or still has over 900 FBI Files in her possession? Uses PI's to snoop on private citizens. Is she that paranoid?
She's cold and selfishly calculating. She's unfit for the office of the presidency.
FR *bookmark*
Obama is bad. Hillary is unthinkable.
Just to be clear, I don't think there's a "conspiracy" of news producers and video editors.
I mean that when individual editors and producers review the raw footage of Hitlery delivering a speech, they react the same way any normal person might: "Wow, she's really quite condescending and boring, isn't she? Sounds just like a Politburo comrade, or that old Albanian commie Enver Hoxha delivering one his dogmatic 5-hour sleepathons. We can't run this nonsense."
Let's see if she can get away with an elusive stealth campaign as she's managed to in New York. No speeches, no unscripted interviews, nothing spontaneous.
