Defining Hillary Clinton

When I listen to Hillary Clinton speak, as she did Monday at The New School in New York, outlining her "economic policy" should she become president, my first reaction was not to her lack of substance and the predictability of her party line about taxing the rich more and "income inequality," but to how boring she is.

I love definitions. They help focus the mind. But not everyone defines a word the same way.

Dictionary.com defines "bore" in several ways, all of which fit Hillary Clinton. As a verb used with an object, it says, "to weary by dullness, tedious repetition..." As a noun it is defined as "a dull, tiresome, or uncongenial person; a cause of ennui or petty annoyance."

Even the synonyms for "bore" seem to describe Hillary Clinton: "fatigue, tire, annoy."

She can raise her voice, as she did in her Monday speech, but that does nothing for her credibility, or sincerity. A June 2 CNN/ORC poll found that "A growing number of people say she is not honest and trustworthy (57 percent, up from 49 percent in March)." Decibel levels can't touch that.

In an interview last week with CNN, Clinton defended herself against the public's perception that she is not trustworthy, though when you have to attest to your integrity it reminds one of Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook" claim during the Watergate scandal. Hillary Clinton knows about that because she was an aide to the House Judiciary Committee investigating the cover-up.

In examining her statement earlier this month that Democratic presidents, like her husband, would have paid down the national debt (she ignores the current one who has substantially increased it), Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler wrote, "It is certainly fair game for Hillary Clinton to compare the fiscal record of the Clinton administration with the record of the George W. Bush administration (just as Republicans like to compare Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan). But she goes too far to suggest that a Democrat could have preserved the surpluses and paid down the national debt, when a good chunk of that supposed (Clinton) surplus was based on a forecasting error."

Kessler gave Hillary Clinton's claim two out of a possible four "Pinocchios."

There is nothing she has accomplished that qualifies her to be president and much that ought to disqualify her. She is running primarily on her gender and the standard boilerplate Democratic Party mantra of bigger government, higher taxes and more regulations, which would result in less individual liberty. If Americans want that, they can have truckloads of it by voting for Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont.

Clinton's economic speech included a plan to raise middle-class income. She wants to accomplish this with another hike in the minimum wage and by use of other manipulative government techniques.

A better way would be to encourage people to make themselves more valuable to their employers by taking college classes, made possible by Pell grants, student loans, scholarships or help from nonprofits and churches, or advanced-training classes, often offered by employers, which would make them more marketable, put them in line for better positions that pay more and make it easier for them to change jobs if they hit a wage ceiling. Government might also help people secure higher-paying work in other cities and states by providing tax credits, or deductions, if they find a better job. Such a plan could also work to help the unemployed and underemployed find full-time work.

People might then come to depend less on government and more on themselves, and that is not at the heart of Democratic Party ideology. Less reliance on government equals less reliance on and possibly fewer votes for Democrats, the party of big government.

To employ a tennis term, Hillary Clinton has double-faulted. She is both uninspiring and uninteresting. To mix sports metaphors, add boring and you'd have a hockey hat trick.

Despotic, pathological liar. Three words. There!

The word ‘hag’ comes to mind

Defining Hillary Clinton? how about describing her as a corrupt, alcoholic, closeted lesbian who while holding high office laundered bribes through donations to her phony foundation and through Bill’s highly paid boring speeches.

I find it interesting how many of the progressive “feminists” have virtually no accomplishments of their own save bouncing a successful man. Examples? The Hillabeast, Pelosi, Boxer, etc. None of them are worth even an aside cough.

Not so for the many conservative women out there who have made it on their own.

Hillary couldn’t run a fruit stand.

Hillary's latest campaign salvo is true to the
credo of the Democrat Party: keeping the snarling
abortion worshippers at bay by upping the political
ante at every election cycle.

"A vote for me is a vote for a Fully-Fornicating Society.
I pledge non-stop aggression over the unborn.
I will end the punishment of an unwanted birth."

===========================================

The genital-sniffing Planned Parenthood abortion worshippers who populate the Dem party are crazy over the Clintons......Bill and Hillary are the living breathing embodiment of The Fully-Fornicating Society w/ none of the evidence of sexual activity.....the "nuisance" of an actual child being born.

Bill gives sex-obsessed lefties a vicarious thrill....visions of the married, gray-haired Clinton getting a young WH intern to crawl under his desk to give him a BJ is better than Viagra.

=================================================

(Groan) God only knows what blood, gore and baby body parts Hillary will throw the genital-sniffing rubbermaids to assure them "her aggression over the unborn" will continue...and is her prime interest.

Maybe Hillary will distribute videos of politically-correct abortions that produce more profit-making baby body parts----as the true measure of her abortion worship?

She Who Must Not Be Named is the most ruthless and incompetent woman ever to stalk the halls of power. Never forget that she is a student and disciple of Saul Alinsky. She has used the Rules for Radicals extensively in clawing her way to the top.

Her ultimate goal has always been the Oval Office. Her boast of being “Co-President” was not idle hubris. When her legal career was thwarted after Watergate, she married into power, using William the Impeached as a stepping stone.

She then used the NY Senate seat as another springboard to power but was foiled again, this time by the Chicago Machine, who had already chosen Odinga to carry the party banner.

Examine her personality. She has the need to dominate. It’s not enough that people obey her commands; they must be forced to obey against their will, or the needed gratification is not derived.

She is a compulsive liar. She is a consummate fraud. She is a lesbian with a deep-seated hatred of the men who, in her mind, deny her her rightful place in history. Never again must she be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic.

OK OK, I forgot one. Four words! lol

Dear Cal, ‘definitions’ are now meaningless. Words now mean whatever the SCOTUS wants them to mean.

[Theodore R.]

The “American” people believe in all things Clinton; while they passed on her for one more “exciting” in 2008, they are ready now for 2016.

[Theodore R.]

The American people don’t like scurrilous truth.

[Theodore R.]

Yes, the American people love having HRC to dominate their little minds.

Love the graphic.

[monocle]

First of all Hillary is a paranoid.

[NurdlyPeon]

Another definition of ‘bore’ is the kind that brain worms do. That’s how I feel whenever I listen to this woman.
