Left to Hillary: You're a Phony
Daily Beast ^ | April 22, 2015 | David Freedlander

Posted on 04/22/2015 5:37:36 AM PDT by lbryce

ry as she may, Hillary Clinton has a long way to go before the left wing of the Democratic Party embraces her as their own.

Liberals have spent much of the past year trying to pull Hillary Clinton to the left, even betting behind a phantom Elizabeth Warren candidacy to exert pressure on her. But now that Clinton in the early going of her campaign sounds a lot like the senator from Massachusetts, progressives should be pretty pleased.

But in several leading figures of the American liberal groups say that so far, they are not much impressed. In the week and a half since she launched her campaign, Clinton has done her damnest to blast the skyrocketing rate of pay for CEO’s, called for higher taxes on hedge fund managers, lamented wage stagnation and has adopted the phrase “the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top” into her rhetorical arsenal.

Politics, the way it plays out, gets perceived is one big wild, crazy human endeavor. What makes it tick,what are the dynamics that has one two-bit, lying, Svengali, phony con man hold sway over over the masses with such hypnotic, charismatic powers of suggestion and influence, like lemmings launching themselves into the sea while another every bit as dynamic, intelligent and redeeming not even get the slightest attention, as a matter of fact, won't even be allowed to exercise his free right to speak among his peers no one even batting an eye.

Take Allan Keyes. As eloquent, intelligent thoughtful, erudite, moral, fine upstanding, honest as the day is long as any man running for elected office. Yet in the numerous attempts to run for several political offices could hardly have anyone allow him to get in a single word. And even worse had been refused a place on the debating stage despite having fulfilled all the electoral requirements.

Yet his dark skinned, Bizarro World, inside out,outside in,reverse mirrored image chemically left handed Doppelganger equivalent, hopped on his chimerical rat,skunk flying dragon beast never to look back, with skills, abilities, qualifications for the job that would make an Israeli running for President of Iran elected overnight.

Hillary an odious, sinister, dishonest, felonious slime ball, with many believing those are her finer points, with a Who's Who reputation as a boss with a habit of having her employees fall off the face of the Earth, having at one point break laws in her position as attorney in Nixon's impeachment investigation,twenty years later found the words to say nice things about him when he passed on.

Some of the examples I've given are inexplicable, but the animosity and hatred that has always been part of most politicians polling numbers, that comes and goes on a whim, with no real source for its genesis or disappearance, is on my humble opinion, like what's happening to Hillary, with all her lies, dishonesty once upon a time a fleeting thing once fleeting would be mirage somehow solidifying politically into the texture of black ice on some Alaskan highway. It's like with Hillary, all her lies, dishonesty once upon a time a fleeting thing has morphed into something forever lethal, as permanent as political cyanide, words once said never possible to be retracted.

What difference does it make?

If there is one thing that the Left and Right can agree on, its that a campaign between Hillary! and Jeb would be a disappointing disaster.

I don’t think that Hillary is a pie-eyed ideologue like 0bama.

She is a shrew, a harridan, trying to play the side that she believes will give her the victory. All she is really interested in is money and power, not necessarily in that order.

Too funny, “Trying to pull Hillery to the left”. She is as leftist as they get.

I think I may have a winning ticket for both the Democrats and the Republicrats.

Democrat: Hillary Clinton / Jeb Bush
Republicrat: Jeb Bush / Hillary Clinton

What difference does it make? The left is not only phoney, but genuinely insane and/or possessed.

Both are bad choices but one is a very bad choice who would place the boots pressed againt our necks even harder...

Wow! you must be a writer. Half of America wouldn't understand your beautiful prose and that is why we are losing presidential elections.

Of course she's a phony. The left builds their lives, their entire outlook around a fantasy. The left justifies lying to the masses by their elite leaders "for the greater good." So the left has a long history of picking/backing bald-faced liars like bammy and Hillary. Why are they surprised when a congenital liar lies to everyone - including them?

Hillary, like bammy, is both wildly, madly power-hungry as well as dangerously ruthless and narcissistic. The mix of those nasty traits may be slightly different between the two, and Hillary's cojones may be significantly bigger, but they are basically the same kind of bad for America.

YOU ARE PROBABLY A DEMOCRAT:

If you make $200,000 to $300,000 an hour giving self aggrandizing speeches and spend the rest of your time campaigning against the filthy rich.

Hillary’s out there campaigning without realizing she left the restroom with toilet paper hanging from her skirt. Who’s going to tell her? LOL

another reason why they’re gonna pull the old switcheroo on us and inflict lizzy warren at the last minute - the left LOVES warren.

hillary will be a lightening rod, and all our resources will be spent torpedoing her, when she pulls out and warren will be left with clear sailing.

If Hillary’s campaign platform moved any further to the left it would involve gassing Jews.

I really don't know what your problem is. They have specialists who after examining you for months still would not be able to determine the sort of thing you're certainly afflicted with.

Read some of the 2,600 articles, personal comments I've posted since I joined in 2009.

Here is my pledge to you. Or maybe I should direct it to the legal guardian that represents you. If you can find one single, solitary reference of me espousing anything remotely left of right wing conservative, I will pay you one thousand dollars per every word you can manage to find among my comments.

Until then, ask your caretaker to double your dosage or simply just STFU.
