"...It seems that Senator Clinton is a bit bitter. Bitter people can’t and won’t promote their own ideas. They won’t take responsibility, even to the extent that Senator Lott did a few years ago, for advocating their actual ideas (ideas which are right or wrong, foolish or wise).
One of the reasons people like Hillary Clinton come across as so bitter is that they have nothing to offer, and they’re smart enough to know it. For a woman like Hillary Clinton, whom I suspect craves power like you or I could never begin to imagine, it’s particularly frustrating. Her life has been one huge compromise – against feminism (by defending her sexually predatory husband); against welfare statism (by allowing her husband to sign off on welfare reform and capital gains tax cuts); and even against her youthful inclinations as a limited government/Barry Goldwater/Ayn Rand fan.
All this compromise has been in the pursuit of one thing only: power. She wants power from the people and over the people, but there’s only one problem: the people keep demanding ideas. She’s afraid to articulate her real ideas, of course, because if she did she would end up like she did after her infamous 1994 health care debacle. So Hillary, like her supporters throughout the country, are left with a single emotion and a single policy: bitterness.
What happens if someone like this ever gains real power"?
The above is an excerpt from part of a wonderfully scathing article from Michael Hurd in Capitalism Magazine, December 31, 2002 titled "Hillary Clinton's Intellectual Bankruptcy"
