Hillary Rodham Romney
Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 8, 2015 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 05/08/2015 3:46:59 AM PDT by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton is moving so quickly to the left that it’s hard to keep up. Her aides are telling the New York Times she wants to “topple” the One Percent, she’s pledging solidarity with union bosses over lunch meetings at Mario Batali restaurants in Midtown, she supports a constitutional amendment to suppress political speech, she’s down with a right to same-sex marriage, she’s ambivalent over the Keystone Pipeline and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, she’s calling for an end to the “era of mass incarceration,” she wants to go “further” than President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty. It’s called pandering, but the press is too frazzled or sympathetic to call her on it. There’s desperation to Clinton’s moves, an almost panicked energy, to close the gap between her and her party’s base. If Elizabeth Warren called for full Communism, Clinton would be at the barricades the next day.

Warren’s the reason for the policy shuffle. Clinton is so terrified of losing the Democratic primary—again—that she’s willing to trade consistency for security against an insurgent from the left. But she may be trading electability too. The Democrats have an advantage in presidential elections, but last I checked the country hasn’t turned into a really big MSNBC greenroom. One day Clinton will have to defend her positions against a non-witch Republican, and she’ll have eight years of Obama to answer for as well. She doesn’t have the gall, the rakishness, or the aw-shucks charm that allowed her husband to slither out of such difficulties, and judging from Bill’s most recent interviews he’s losing his abilities too. Indeed, the politician Hillary Clinton reminds me most of lately isn’t her husband or Warren. It’s Mitt Romney.

Comparing Hillary Clinton to Mitt Romney is an insult to Romney. He may be a lot of things, but he didn’t make his money selling out America for foreign donations to his “charity” or spend his life in government or riding his spouse’s coattails and calling that achievement.

She’s making Warren look good, more centrist, much the same way Stalin or Hitler makes Charles Manson look like a choir boy.

Hillary is moving quickly to the left.... ***-kissing every lefty voting bloc she can sniff out:<> she wants to “topple” the One Percent,<> she’s pledging solidarity with unions, <> she supports a constitutional amendment to suppress political speech,<> she’s OK w/ a right to same-sex marriage,<> she’s calling for an end to the “era of mass incarceration,” <> she wants to go “further” than Obama’s free-for-all illegal executive amnesty......

Classic Clinton election MO---***-kissing as many voting blocs as possible.

God knows what blood and gore she'll throw the genital-sniffing rubbermaids over at Planned Parenthood to assure them aggression over the unborn is her prime interest.

Maybe she'll endorse post-birth abortions as the true measure of her abortion worship.

CLINTON MIND GAMES Bill Clinton ups his visibility in the wake of the Clinton Foundation tsunami---he will speak (for an undisclosed fee) at Spanish-language network Univision on the subject of “growth and influence of the Latino market" (dontcha just love the latino agit-prop?).

The NY Post reports the speech could be part of a strategy with Univision owner, Israeli Haim Saban, to deliver these votes to Hillary. Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul, is also hosting Hollywood fund-raisers for Hillary in LA.

TIT FOR TAT Bill does the paid speech for Haim and Haim helps deal with the critical Hispanic audience for Hillary.

Other says the incentive for Bill to appear at the Univision event is his need to get visibility after the barrage of unfavorable publicity.

The mere fact that anyone in this country who dwells OUTSIDE of a lunatic asylum could consider this example of the worst of American womanhood to be worthy of the presidency is traumatizing to anyone who still believes in reason. Anyone who thinks Hillary Clinton belongs in the office of the commander in chief of American armed forces should immediately seek psychiatric help. Anyone who thinks she is a better candidate for the office than Mitt Romney is totally divorced from the real world.

OT



The reason Barack Hussein Obama was put in our White House twice is that not one Republican or Liberal dared vet him-expose him as the Marxist Muslim he is for fear of being labled 'racist'

"Barack Obama was born of Marxists; mentored by a communist writer and activist during his formative years; spent his college days hanging around Marxist professors and activists; worked as a radical community organizer, using the radical tactics of the communist, Alinsky; attended a radical church; was introduced to Chicago politics by a communist in the home of two communists; and now lends his political skill to the international goals of radical activists. He had radicals on his campaign, and has them in his administration. The simple fact is, since the age of 12, the people closest to Obama have been active, radical Marxists, and dues-paying members of the Communist Party USA." http://theobamafile.com/indexArchive.html

This information was out there (and could be proven) right from the start, but not one of our Republican or Conservative politicians had to guts to bring it all out. As a result, the Marxist/Muslim white/America hating sob is systematically destroying America and our way of life

Bill Clinton will speak (for an undisclosed fee) at Spanish-language network Univision on the subject of “growth and influence of the Latino market."

==================================================

WIKI---Latino Univision owner, Haim Saban, says his greatest concern is to protect Israel. At a conference in Israel, Saban described his formula. His three ways to influence American politics were: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.[22]

Saban became involved in politics in the mid-1990s when he felt that support for Israel was slipping in the United States.[5]

Saban has been a generous and consistent donor to the United States Democratic Party according to his mandatory Federal Election Commission filings. Mother Jones, in an analysis of the major donors to the campaigns of 1998 election cycle, ranked Saban 155th among individual donors.[23] Amy Paris noted that Saban's Clinton-era "generosity did not go unrewarded. During the Clinton administration, the entertainment executive served on the President's Export Council, advising the White House on trade issues."[23]

The New York Times reported that Haim and his wife "slept in the White House several times during President Clinton's two terms." Saban remains close friends with the former President. Clinton described Saban as a "very good friend and supporter."[5] Saban contributed between $5 million to $10 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation.[24]

During the 2000 presidential election, Saban increased his rank to 5th among individual donors with a combined contribution of $1,250,500.[23] Matthew Yglesias wrote that "Saban was the largest overall contributor to the Democratic National Committee during the 2001–2002 cycle." [25] Saban's donations during that 2001–2002 period exceeded $10 million, the largest donation the DNC has received from a single source up to that time.

In September 2004, Hillary Clinton described Saban as a very good friend, supporter and adviser: "I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation's work, particularly on reconciliation issues."[5] In May 2007, Haim publicly declared his support for Clinton in 2008 presidential election.[20]

In June 2007, Saban and Steven Spielberg co-hosted a Hillary Clinton fundraiser at the house of Peter Chernin, the President of News Corporation.[26] According to the Los Angeles Times,[26] the fundraiser brought in over $850,000.

In March 2008, Saban was among a group of major Jewish donors to sign a letter to Democratic Party house leader Nancy Pelosi warning her to "keep out of the Democratic presidential primaries."[27] The donors, who "were strong supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign", "were incensed by a March 16 interview in which Pelosi said that party 'superdelegates' should heed the will of the majority in selecting a candidate."[27] The letter to Pelosi stated the donors "have been strong supporters of the DCCC" and implied, according to The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,[27] that Pelosi could lose their financial support in important upcoming congressional elections.

On May 19, 2008, it was reported that Haim Saban had "offered $1 million to the Young Democrats of America during a phone conversation in which he also pressed for the organization's two uncommitted superdelegates to endorse the New York Democrat."[28]

Saban, a long-time supporter and donor of many pro-Jewish and Israel causes, has stated his main goal in multiple interviews: "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."[38]

Haim Saban, a worldwide pioneer and leader in the
entertainment industry, is the Chairman and CEO of
Saban Capital Group, Inc.

If his only issue is Israel, why does he still support Democrats? They would completely sell out Israel in a New York minute.
