She tops most Democratic primary polls, she has outraised every other presidential candidate, and she's even the top choice in the online betting markets to be our next commander in chief. So if you're a political junkie, you can't help but wonder, "What would a Hillary Clinton presidency look like?"
Indeed, Greg Valliere, top political analyst at the Stanford Group, a Washington, D.C.-based institutional research firm for Wall Street's big-money crowd, has pondered just that question. And here is a bit of what the supersavvy Valliere and his team have come up with–a year and a half before Election Day 2008:
Taxes. "The individual rate structure enacted under President George W. Bush, with a 35 percent cap, would be under great jeopardy." Valliere thinks the top rate will be raised to just under 40 percent. The 15 percent top rate on capital gains and dividends might get bumped up a bit, but he thinks that a President Edwards or Obama would push them higher. Interestingly, he speculates that the budget deficit could be close to zero in the fiscal year that starts on Oct. 1, 2007.

The prospect of a President Hillary Clinton should give us all concern for many reasons. However, my biggest fear would be her following the Congressional appeasers and virtual handing our country over to the Islamic terrorists.
The Clintoon presidency would mean a Republic turns Communist.
With Mrs. Clinton as their(our) C-I-C!??? God forbid!!
Invade Venezuela? If Hillary is at the helm, we will look like Venezuela! Every industry except Hollywood will be nationalized
Which Republican Presidential portraits will be relegated to the attic to make way for oil paintings of Saul Alinsky, Margaret Sanger, and Che, when Hillary returns to the White House?
It would be one thing if Herself “only” turned our nation into a Communist country. But the agenda is far more ambitious than even that. Communism would only be window dressing.
Kim Jong-Il would be the pattern, a “Communist King”, if that could be imagined. For it has become a pattern that the same small clique, once they have achieved power, retains power until it is wrenched out of their dying hands.
We speak of the “ruling elite” as if it were an entity apart, and it is not. What started out as a meritocracy has escalated into those who have slipped into positions of power, slamming the doors shut behind themselves, perpetually manning the ramparts agains those within, more so than those who are external to the nation.
An armed totalitarian nation did not become that way to repel foreign aggressors. The intention was always to introduce measures of governance that would be unpopular or even repressive to the majority of the electorate, by taking away the choice of whether the voters want some particular agenda or not. And of course, it is always “for your own good”. Even when the “good” of a particular course of action turns out to be not so.
Herself, the Cold and Joyless, is determined to remake this Republic in her own vision, not really Communist or even Socialist, but because it would amuse her to pull strings. And this borders on the truly sadistic.
End of Republic as we know it.

I found that the ones the left oppresses the most, (minorities, women, gays) are the ones we have the most to fear. They are like crabs in a barrel. If one tries to get out, they pull it back down.
The left would rather see us dead as a nation as long as they can hold onto power. The only ideology the left knows is the ideology of corruption.
Communism is legalized corruption by the elite.
“sadistic.”
Hillary a sadist with Americans as her trolls. Apt.
Probably about what she’s meant to the music world.

I would hope that those positions would not include seated at his desk in the Oral Office with an intern’s head in his lap?
Bubba will be sneaking bimbos in the white house back door while the Hildebeast is traveling the world appeasing dictators by handing them taxpayer funded loot.
Communism.
I hate to think.
Actually worth pondering seriously. Based on what the Clintoon presidency was like, I would venture the following:
1. Appointment of Bill Clinton as Secretary of State
2. ‘Treaties’ negotiated with most of the M.E. countries, guaranteeing significantly higher and faster immigration ‘rights’ for their citizenry to invade the U.S., providing enormous amounts of ‘foreign aid’ to M.E. countries and guaranteeing a minimum price per barrel and quantity of oil to be purchased to both the M.E. and Venezuela. Treaty to include ban on the U.S. waging war on any country in the region for any reason. Treaty to prescribe the limitation of U.S. economic support for Israel.
3. Treaty negotiated with Mexico creating an even more open border than we have now and allowing free trade and transport of goods, services, and people without restriction.
4. Immediate undertaking to establish a comprehensive healthcare system whereby private hospitals and clinics are placed under government supervision, through the creation of a new Cabinet Level Department. Establishment of a universal health care program that guarantees a minimum of benefits to every citizen and non-citizen who meets a minimum residency requirement, and funded by taxes on profits of all companies, public and private, as well as taxes on any and all ‘luxury’ goods purchased (VAT).
5. Codification of ‘primary’ career paths, particularly for physicians and other health care professionals, and also for technology fields, whereby the entrance into these career paths is numerically controlled by a quota system dictated by Feds and based on perceived ‘need’.
6. Mandatory pre-school for all children beginning at age three, with a ban on any private organization providing this pre-school service. All private schools of any level to become subject to ‘curriculum’ review by Feds, with religious education classes limited according to a prescribed formula.
7. Dramatic reduction in the military overall and a slashing of all contracts for development of new military weaponry
8. Treaty negotiated with China to provide wide range of current proprietary U.S. technology at all levels, including military weaponry technology.
9. Agreement to subordinate American international banking practices and currency values to the Hong Kong Market
10. Nomination of an Attorney General whose task would be to escalate prosecution of newly defined ‘hate’ crimes designed to protect the growth of Islam and curb Christianity throughout the U.S.
11. Appointment of Judiciary that would be sympathetic to the establishment of Sharia law within Muslim communities throughout the U.S.
12. Nomination of an aggressive Secretary of Education who would be charged with the task of instituting and enforcing a rigorous ‘re-education’ program to insure that all history is taught in a completely secular manner and any and all references to any minority group in less than a favorable manner is removed from all educational materials
13. Establishment of ‘maximum’ wage rates for all executives of both public and private companies.
14. Establishment of a ‘maximum’ assests level for all Americans whereby once the prescribed threshold is reached an annual ‘asset’ tax is imposed in addition to any applicable income tax.
15. Significant increase in estate tax or move to 100% taxable assets in any estate.
16. Signing of the Kyoto Accord
17. Agreement to subordinate any and all U.S. judicial processes to ‘standard’ maintained by the World Court, with the World Court reserving the right to review and advise the overturning of judicial decisions made within the boundaries of the U.S. on all Federal Cases.
