Hillary Clinton — a woman of no convictions
The Washington Times ^ | 8-12-14 | Charles Hurt

The rank spectacle of ex-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton suddenly turning on her commander in chief and former boss to shiv him in the back over the burning ruins she helped make of the Middle East is staggering to behold.

The brassiness, dishonesty and shamelessness as she slides into yet another presidential campaign season is enough to choke that old Arkansas draft mule of a husband she hitched her career to. The scheming calculation of it all would make Lady Macbeth take to the bed for blushing.

How on earth did such a crafty street fighter get so completely trounced by such a naive rookie like Barack Obama in 2008?

That Mrs. Clinton would up and disavow President Obama’s policy of ceding the entire world to evil forces — a policy she embraced and enforced for four years as his top diplomat — is a little hard to accept now as genuine.

It is by far the most naked and self-serving political repositioning in American politics since, well, since the last time Hillary Rodham Clinton performed a bald and shameless U-turn on Middle East war policy.

In 2002, she represented the state hardest hit by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. As the junior senator from New York, she gave a rousing floor speech and vowed to pursue our enemies to the ends of the Earth. She voted “with conviction” to authorize the invasion of Iraq.

“It is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein: This is your last chance. Disarm or be disarmed.”

For those Dems who would vote for her, they think they WILL get Bill.

I don't think Bill's going to be around in 2016. As he said, his death would be worth at least 2 million sympathy votes for Hillary.

"Hillary" and "naked" should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER be used in the same sentence.

She'll already get an untold amount for playing the role as "grandma."

I expect Bill to be a doting grandpa, if only to take advantage of the old adage, "babies are babe magnets."

No convictions but plenty of victuals.

On top of all that, there is still her drinking problem.

Even Obama jokes about her drinking and drunk texting.
