Most especially as a woman, I have become more and more concerned that Hillary Rodham Clinton just might be elected as the first female President of the United States in 2008. And that possibility curls my hair, dangerously accelerates my heartbeat and sends shivers down my spine.
I have been following Hillary's "life" since she first made a blip on the national radar during the 1992 election. Back then, my own perception of her was that she was kind of pert, sort of pretty, and that she might even be slightly smarter than that absolutely charming husband of hers - the candidate. When I learned that she had her own Yale law degree and that they were being billed as the "two-for-one" presidency, I actually thought to myself that it might be a good deal for the taxpayers. Pay one President; get two. I do always try to give a new President - and First Lady - the benefit of the doubt, as due respect for our Republic and the electorate dictates.
But that was 15 years ago. In that time, I've read six biographies of Hillary (4 admittedly unfavorable, 1 gushingly favorable, and 1 supposedly neutral). With such a preponderance of damning evidence against her already widely disseminated, it strikes me as more than a little strange that this woman is not in prison or a mental institution. That she has managed to remain not only free, but center-stage in the Democratic Party and a Senator from an "adopted" state is an indictment of our press and her Party. If she succeeds in lying and manipulating her way into the White House, it will be an indictment of us all.
Even Carl Bernstein admits (A Woman in Charge; Knopf; 2007; p. 554) that Mrs. Clinton is the human equivalent of a chameleon, changing her colors and her story to suit her audience: "As Hillary has continued to speak from the protective shell of her own making, and packaged herself for the widest possible consumption, she has misrepresented not just facts but often her essential self." (emphasis mine) In real life - as opposed to fairytales - misrepresenting facts is called "lying." Constantly changing yourself (and your "truth") according to the company you are in is called "a lack of integrity." A lack of integrity is considered by most normal folks to be a glaring character defect. Now, if even Carl Bernstein is able to admit that Hillary is a liar and has a substantial lack of integrity, why would we even elect her POTUS?
On the other hand, she is a Democrat, and unfortunately, it looks as though they are about to foist her upon the rest of us. William Saffire, in his 1/8/96 NYT editorial, "Blizzard of Lies," cut straight to the chase with a great deal of prescience, when he wrote:
"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady (Hillary Rodham Clinton) - a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation - is a congenital liar." So, let it be said from my all-female mouth now and on the record: If Hillary Clinton is elected as President of the United States, it will set the cause of any sort of feminism back for at least 250 years. Whether we like it or not, she will be the "ruler" by which future female candidates are measured. And she will be judged for the woman she is - not for the man she isn't.
So, just for a moment try to forget Travelgate (cronyism at its vile lowest), Whitewater (phony S&L scheme that cost taxpayers $4 million), campcon (FBI investigation into illegal Chinese government political contributions to Clintons and DNC), Monica-gate (don't even go there), and Pardongate (the final-hour pardons granted by the Clinton "Co-Presidency," including a host of Clinton & Rodham relatives, friends and big contributors). Just forget all about those little "problems" with Hillary's integrity, and think about some of the petty stuff.
Let's take the matter of her faith. You know, the faith that she says sustained her during Monica-gate. Now, I know a lot of Methodists with pretty strong beliefs in Jesus Christ. Yet, I don't believe I've ever heard any of them espousing the benefits of "channeling" the spirits of dead people for guidance. It was Bob Woodward (THE CHOICE) who revealed Hillary's desire to commune with Eleanor Roosevelt in this manner, and that new-age person of note, Jean Houston, facilitated the "conversation." So, when she says that her "faith" got her through "it," is she referring to her faith in God or her faith in Eleanor Roosevelt? Actually, Eleanor Roosevelt would know a thing or two about philandering husbands, but isn't Hillary, devout Methodist that she claims to be, aware that séances are deemed part of the occult (Satan's province) and strictly off-limits for Christians? Seems like a no-brainer to me. So, I'm not too impressed with those "faith" credentials.
Another thing that concerns me - again, this might be construed as petty - is how she has dealt with her husband, Bubba. According to every single book I have read on Mrs. Clinton, she was fully aware of his predilection for rampant promiscuity all the way through their relationship. During courtship. While they were living together out of wedlock. After they married and became the first couple of Arkansas. Through the Presidential elections of 1992 and 1996. Why, according to the volumes that have been written on this one subject alone, there was nary a soul in Arkansas political/business/legal circles that didn't know of the boy Governor's proclivities for "special encounters" with the opposite sex. Of course, Hillary knew; she's no idiot. Obviously, she knew and she didn't care. But she knew that we the public cared about the character - or lack thereof - of our President. So, she lied about not knowing.
And besides the bald-faced lying, here's what rubs me the wrong way. Hillary Clinton's thirst for power has been so great that she has knowingly trampled the feelings and rights of all the women she called "Bimbos," enabled an out-of-control man to escape due punishment, and now dares to play the long-suffering, loving wife with no thought to the real-life consequences borne by all the "other" women that litter the roadside of Bill Clinton's life.
This one issue alone invalidates any claim she ever had to the real Women's vote. Her cadre of elite feminist loyalists can clamor all they wish for solidarity of the "sisterhood," but I don't know a single woman over the age of 18 who is buying it. If Hillary Clinton gave one whit for the respectability of women, she would have trounced Billy boy a long, long, long, long time ago.
And why on earth would an educated electorate buy the simpleminded notion that a woman who cannot even stop a philandering husband from, well, philandering, could ever stop terrorists from, well, terrorizing? Surely, we are too smart to trust this woman with her little manicured finger on the "A-bomb" button.
If not, then we probably deserve what we will get from her. If you have real questions at this point about what that would be, get yourself a copy of Rules for Radicals, by the infamous Saul Alinsky, the left-wing guru of ethical relativity, an avowed means-justify-the-ends Marxist, who was the topic of Hillary's senior thesis at Wellesley. Don't bother trying to get a copy of her paper, though; it's sealed up, though a bootleg copy made it onto the web.
I would give just about anything to be able - in good conscience - to vote for a woman for President. Just not this particular woman. She doesn't even know who she is anymore. How could she possibly know who we are? She thinks we are the means to her end. That's all her idea of "sisterhood" has ever been.
It's all about her. And only her.

Even if Hillary “answers” a question, she is still unworthy of anybody’s vote - excepting possibly the cronies and political donors for whom she and Bill have pardoned criminals as a favor.
We have had a few crummy Presidents of this country over the decades and the country survived. Most of them, though, were back in the horse and buggy days when atomic bombs were not in the mix. Unfortunately, I don’t know whether or not any country could survive sixteen total years of a Clinton Dynasty. (Oh, and one may be sure that if she wangles an initial election and gets the power, a second term would be insured - unless she manages to get us all blown all to h-e-double hockey sticks. . although, the kind of damage the Clintons do is the kind that finds them long gone and smelling like roses according to the press. Any fallout is then blamed on the next poor sap who occupies the Oval Office after them.) Example: President Bush who picked up the 9/11 terrorist gauntlet that should have been handled by Bill long before it became reality.

Divorce her.
That’d be a deal breaker!
Hillary scares me too!!!
Even that part is debatable. The MSM is going to have to work over-time to hide all the "boos" whenever the beast is up there speaking if she gets to be POTUS. (please God, no)
The dictionary has changed over the years. They deleted the term amazon and added the term courageous. Virago really refers to a woman that acts like a man: “ a large powerful woman; an amazon...a turbulent, quarrelsome woman; a termagant.” Websters New Collegiate Dictionary, Second Edition 1956 There was, as part of the “Womans Movement,” in the late 60’s and early 70’s a drive to have the term virago removed from the dictionary. Since the term could not be removed the definition was changed.
No need for correction, Ben, to a Marxist like her, both are useful........
BUMP
ewww...that is freaky, for sure!
Force feed the world a bunch of crap and tell us that we like it!
“I couldn’t believe that the Methodist minister in DC would go along with their hypocrisy.”
Why not? The Methodist minister at the church where the Clintoons most regularly attended was every bit as leftist as the Clintoons. I’ve forgotten the name of the church but I do recall reading about it and the pastor.
I also recall reading an article in 1985 or 1986 about the leftward turn of several of the so-called “mainline” churches, i.e., Methodists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians. The article mentioned the Methodists had lost 58,000 members per week for a considerable period of time.
If we had a neutral MSM this might happen. It won't.
The number of Americans possessing the mental clarity to understand what this author has written and judge Hillary accordingly is depressingly low. Since she represents the party that hands out all the free stuff, all sins are ignored.
This 60's hippie skank is just biding her time until she can unleash the Full Rodham on an unsuspecting world.
Does your wife think that a woman who, in order to maintain their quest for power, protects her husband from rape allegations she knows to be true would make a good President?
Does she think that a woman who calls outright lying a “media strategy” in order to gain power for herself, would make a good President?
How about screaming at your young daughter at the dinner table to “condition” the daughter to withstand the media the parents will encounter in their ruthless quest for power.
And then there is the fact that out of hundreds of lawyers supervised by her Watergate investigation supervisor, she was one of three not recommended for rehire due to boldfaced lies and other unethical behavior. Of the 3, another one not recommed for rehire was Bernard Nessbaum, Hillary’s good friend.
Hillary is a dangerous evil person. I hope your wife comes to her senses.
The UMC is trying to out-UCC the UCC around here. Not all of the individual churches. But the denomination certainly is.
