Probably more right on than anyone cares to admit.
Hillary married Bubba only for political reasons.
She wants power for herself as well.
Now, a lesbian alone, unmarried, and without children has absolutely NO chance at political power.
But, with Bill and a child at her side?

She had Chelsea only out of convenience.
Same with everything else they have done.
Socks the cat, Buddy the dog.
Things that were convenient to have for a time only to be tossed out like yesterdays bathwater later.
I fear that Hillary is far more of a shark than many give her credit for.
I believe she was the brains behind Bubba's presidency.
He has all the political savvy of a moist potato chip.
And has proven it time and time again.
Hillary is a manipulative narcissist, and whenever we saw something politically savvy or just plain manipulatively cruel come from the Whitehouse, it was Hillary's doing.

Mr. Blumenthal apparently plans to whine about suppression of the black vote in Florida in 2000. Does he have a leg to stand on on this issue?

Urinalysis is brilliant. These pathetic Partners in Power have remained true to the ideals that brought them together. (Retch!)

Very astute observations. Seems to be a habit with you. :-)

Hillary comes out of the left-60's-feminists who see men as mostly stupid, but sometimes useful. He is incapable of breaking her heart. But he IS capable of securing her a seat at the tables she is most interested in.

By the time she met him, his future in American politics was pretty much assured, between his Hot Springs Mafia Uncle Buddy, his Rhodes association, his (and her) Communist connections, and then the tin foil relatives.

She knew all the odds were in her favor, her job was to provide him with enough cover stories to keep them both looking on the up-and-up.

With all respect, I know that your question was an attempt at humor, but please consider elevating the level of discussion by avoiding questions and comments like that.

You're smarter and better than is indicated by that question.

You are correct, Bill. Drango should know that even Hillary has more than one dress amongst the pantsuits. Therefore, he should have asked which dresses made Hillary's butt look big. :-)

Yet she reacted to his serial infidelities as if she were a weak little woman too fearful to toss the bum out.

Not exactly. that was just her power hungry public persona.

Don't ever forget that Jerry Parks, Vince Foster's partner who was murdered shortly after Foster himself, was employed by hillary to collect dirt on her husband for her to use if she ever wanted to.

her bullsh#t statements about "he never lied to me" and she was "Shocked " at the Monica revelations are a crock of sh*t.

Click here for the NewsMax scoop which includes page numbers.

The rest of the media is largely liberal lap dogs who do very little to build a story.

I have always seen the Clinton dynamic exactly as you see it. There is nothing remotely sexual between them, but they both appreciate what the partnership brings to each life.

I think you and I agree that there is no other explanation that accounts for their behavior. As Arthur Conan Doyle said as Sherlock Holmes, "When you have eliminated all other possibilities what remains must be true."

There were people that reported an argument between Bill and Hillary back when he was running for Congress... a race he lost by the way... Hilllary told Bill it was time for him to quit playing with his girl friends and get down to the business of getting elected. Note she was not angry that he had girl friends... She was angry that it took too much time from his efforts to get elected.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Why do you think Chelsea looks so much like Webb Hubbell?

I'm sorry, but the first question is one that simply screams out to be asked:

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

Asking Blumenthal questions is an absurdity. He is committed to lying about the Clintons and their administration. His answers to all questions are already on record.
