Sandy Berger and the Real Hillary Clinton

By

Ronald A. Cass

Elections are not just about platforms but character.

[snip]

According to reports in Newsweek, The Washington Post, and other liberal news media not commonly associated with a "vast right wing conspiracy," Hillary Clinton has selected a team of national security advisers led by the "triumvirate" of Madeline Albright, Richard Holbrooke, and Sandy Berger. All three were prominent members of Bill Clinton's national security team when he was president. Ms. Albright was President Clinton's Secretary of State. Mr. Holbrooke was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. And Mr. Berger was President Clinton's National Security Advisor. While conservatives generally give them negative reviews, all three have substantial experience, close ties to the senator and her husband, and are exactly the sort of "old hands" who become key insiders in a campaign.

Except for one small detail. Sandy Berger isn't just a former National Security Advisor - he's also the only National Security Advisor in U.S. history to be convicted after stealing and destroying classified documents.

In Sandy Berger's case, there is no excuse. Hillary's inclusion of Sandy Berger in her circle of advisers demonstrates that, notwithstanding her law license, she really doesn't care about the law. She doesn't care whether someone violates the law if they're on her team, if the violation in some way helps the Clintons. Hillary's indifference to criminal wrong-doing suggests that she sees herself as above the law, breezily ignoring law when it's an impediment to something she wants.

Will more than half of our fellow citizens choose Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the first female President of the United States? If she's the best available woman for the job, there's little hope for all of us.

“So, what does it say that Hillary Clinton chose Mr. Berger as one of her advisers, and that she will rely on the advice of a convicted criminal who is barred from access to the sort of national security information a party’s candidate for President is routinely briefed on during a campaign?”

Maybe Sandy make her an offer she couldn’t refuse? Maybe she didn’t CHOOSE him...maybe HE CHOSE the position!

She doesn't care whether someone violates the law if they're on her team, if the violation in some way helps the Clintons.

That would include her husband. Just another member of the criminal enterprise known as the Clintons.

Didn’t the Clinton’s have a cat named “Socks?” Does that make Sandy Burgler the Clinton’s pu**y?

The one thing that amazes me is that Democrats are looking at just winning. They don’t think about the effect it’s going to have on them. They don’t seem to realize how much power that Hillary wants. They don’t realize that she will tax them to death and give them communism in return. Hillary and especially her husband are the biggest embarrassment to this country that we have ever had. If Hillary gets elected, we will have a minimal military. The military will not serve her and they will leave. Can we afford this?

[Yo-Yo]

Will more than half of our fellow citizens choose Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the first female President of the United States?

Thanks to H. Ross Perot, it only took 43% of our fellow citizens to elect BJ Clinton.

This is just the Clintons repaying Sandy Burglar for taking the fall while destroying documents related to Iraq and Al Qaeda. “You destroy the evidence and we’ll take care of you - no worries”. Was it just coincidence that Sandy’s clearance can be reinstated after the next election - I don’t think so. Disgusting.

That statement speaks volumes about what may be in store for the rest of us when that vast left-wing, tatooed, earringed, unwashed mass leaves the polling places.

If that carpetbagging marxist is elected and she opens the door for that evil carcass she is nominally wedded to....we're in deep doo-doo!

The military will not serve her and they will leave. Can we afford this?
Will there be any SS agents willing to take a bullet for her, after the way she treated them during the first two terms?
