The Spurious Claim of Hillary Clinton

There is no school for presidents and commander-in-chiefs. All the presidents, since George Washington got to the White House without any claim of being experienced. The ability to wield the power of the greatest nation on earth is something that is not bragged about, and much less claimed. Either one has got it or not.

And now comes Hillary Clinton trumpeting on rooftops that she is experienced and ready to assume the duties of commander-in-chief on day one. Nothing can be more presumptuous. The fact that she claims experience is hollow and inauthentic, and even shameless. It means that George Bush and all the way back to George Washington are nothing but nincompoops and inexperienced. If there is any experience that matters with Hillary, it is the experience of standing by her man during the heyday of Monica Lewinsky. She could not possibly stomped away from her cheating husband because she had already hatched the plan of running for president herself, using the ex-president as her backbone. Too bad, the ex-president has the backbone of a jellyfish, too scared of responding to the bombing of USS Cole.

In the face of strident claims of experience and ready for commander in chief day one, Senator Clinton is becoming more and more like a charlatan, foisting snake oil on the electorate. The USA will not only be the object of scorn among international allies, but also the laughning stock as well.

The Myrtle Beach Rumble

Words that remain Unspoken

The debate of Democrat presidential contenders on the day commemorating Martin Luther King (MLK) was partly circus histrionics on who is more MiLKy WAY among the three contenders left standing after the original crop of ten. Pundits say that it was actually a rumble between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, with John Edwards standing as the referee, making calls against Obama more than against Hillary... which boils down to white vis a vis black, unfortunately. Very interesting democrats ...

Although a wide range of issues were tackled during the deliberations, the stellar highlights focused on personal calls. Early in the campaign, Hillary posed rhetorical questions about the electability of Obama. The unspoken word is BLACK,therefore Obama is not electable. The unspoken word did not resonate with Iowa voters and Hillary was unceremoniously trounced. In New Hampshire, Hillary did a number on manipulating voters with body english which unmistakably relayed the unspoken words: "I am woman, pity me, vote for me". Surprisingly it worked with New Hamshirites. Hillary was ecstatic, and blurted "I have finally found my voice!" , meaning the unspoken words.

Now on the just concluded debate in South Carolina, she declared straightfacedly, although laced with bluster and braggadocio:
a... I can tackle foreign affairs effectively
b ... I can be commander in chief effectively
c. ... I am the agent of change, effectively for thirty six years
d ... etc, etc. etc.
and in all those pronouncements she did not utter the unspoken words: "because my husband Bill is behind me!!"
which prompted Barack Obama to wail ... "I am fighting two Clintons!" wherein he could have echoed Bill Clinton in New Hampashire "Give me a break!" but his body english spoke flawlessly with unspoken words echoing Dubya: "Bring 'em on!"

The Mark of a Demagogue

 

  John Edwards, former senator of North Carolina, and now candidate running for the White House, is beginning to show his true colors as the ultimate demagogue. He goes to great lengths to convince voters that he is the best candidate to run the White House, even if he has to drag his sick wife ailing from cancer to campaign for him. The purpose is to manipulate compassionate voters to commiserate with his wife's malaise. There are lots of compassionate voters who can relate to mrs. Edwards cancer but it is beginning to show that mrs. Edwards is nothing but a tool to sway voters and has nothing to do whether or not he is a capable commander in chief.

   Edwards is also pitching for the poor and downtrodden, trying to identify with their plight and promising all kinds of goodies to ameliorate their sorry condition.  This guy is a glib tallker and a liar, as manifest by the  two blinks per second of his eyes, and most importantly by his $400 haircut.

   The crowning laurels of Edwards's demagoguery is his strident pitch for veterans of Iraq war. He claims that 200,000 veterans are  forsaken by the current administration. After serving their country selflessly, all the get for their services is to be treated like rubbish and left out to sleep under the bridges and viaducts of highways. The veterans are left out in the cold, abandoned, says Edwards, by the current administration. This is the most blatant lie ever foisted by a candidate running for president.  It can evoke anger at Bush and elicit votes from the unsuspecting electorate, but such claim is dishonest and a showcase of demagoguery at it's worst.  The homeless veteran is not poor. They are homeless because of drug addictions, mental illness, and many other reasons, but certainly not because of poverty. Edwards know these facts, but it is convenient and earth-shattering to trumpet these woes of veterans for his own selfish reasons - to sway the voters to propel him to the White House.  If one cannot be honest to oneself, the White House is the wrong place to go. Edwards should be in a mental institution.

The Mark of a Chameleon

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

It wasn't long ago that Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign scoffed at the notion that young voters would deliver an election. How quickly things can change.

Just seconds into her speech Friday morning, Clinton was declaring herself the candidate for America's youth , stealing a page from the new Democratic presidential front-runner, Barack Obama. The night before, the under-30 crowd came out in larger numbers than ever in Iowa caucuses normally dominated by the AARP-card set, delivering victory for the Illinois senator who promised to bring change to Washington.

That's why after her third-place finish in Iowa, Clinton got off her plane in New Hampshire and declared: "This is especially about all of the young people in New Hampshire who need a president who won't just call for change, or a president who won't just demand change, but a president who will produce change, just like I've been doing for 35 years."

"I'm running for president to reclaim the future , the future for all of us, of all ages, but particularly for young Americans," she said a few seconds later...

------

   It is incidental that chameleon rhymes with clinton, but surely  Hillary is rhyming up steadily as the campaign goes full throttle.  She is really dust in the wind, going whichever way the wind blows, such that when you open your eyes, it (dust in the wind) hurts. She is patently inauthentic, especially when listening to her, sounding so hollow without any semblance of sincerity in what she blurts out.   She is virtually a robot mouthing platitudes that are meaningless or at best, presumptuous.  It is not all that bleak really if and when she gets to the White House, it will become Gray House of Blue House, etc. and eventually be known as Chameleon House.

GOP torpedoes Iraq troop pullout plan

 

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

Senate Republicans torpedoed legislation Wednesday to force the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq, bowing to President Bush's adamant refusal to consider any change in war strategy before September.

The 52-47 vote fell far short of the 60 needed to advance the legislation and marked the final act in an all-night session that Democrats engineered to dramatize their opposition to the war.

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid was trumpeting the democrat line to cut and run (euphemistically dubbed ‘withdrawal’) and protect our assets and interests  in Iraq. This is the height of hyprcrisy and I do not see anything taller in the horizon. Reid is in a hurry to get out now, because “time is on our side and the american people are on our side”. Perhaps Reid does not realize that he is doing a double talk.

   The republicans stood their ground: “Think of the aftermath of withdrawal – murders, chaos, genocide …”   When Reid was asked what are the alternatives of wiithdrawal, he bristled at the reporter, but was speechless.

   Senator John Kerry was interviewed on CNN if he believes there will be genocide after withdrawal and he replied, “genocide is here now …” yet he voted for withdrawal. Cannot understand his logic.

   For a while I thought democrats  will be sleeping with republicans, with sheets and cots just off the senate floor. It turned out to be a slumber party of deadheads. Not even the presidential contenders were immune from the indignity.

 

 

No Reason For Existence

 

Uneasy GOP senators beseech Bush on Iraq

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

Nervous Senate Republicans beseeched the White House without apparent success Wednesday for a quick change in course on Iraq as congressional Democrats insisted on high-profile votes calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops by spring.

Prospects for a less-sweeping, bipartisan challenge to President Bush suffered a setback when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the leading proposal has "less teeth than a toothless tiger."

Taken together, the events pointed toward a 10-day period of politically charged maneuvering in the Senate in which Democrats push for a withdrawal, the White House's allies resist and a small but growing collection of Republicans — most of them facing re-election in 2008 — is caught in the middle.

   I happen to watch Senator Barbara Boxer on the senate floor with her characteristic antics: “ Must we wait for more casualties to pile up,  more of our soldiers to die, more women and children to perish in suicide bombings …?  Let us get out now! “

Of course Barbara Boxer was parroting the the line of democrats without  presenting any viable alternative for such course of action. It is cut and run. The democrats sincerely believe in their hearts that it will be like magic – after troop withdrawals the violence and mayhem upon the Iraqi people will STOP!  It is this childlike innocence on one hand or utter intellectual stupidity on the other that drives this democrat mentality, which does not merit any reason for existence … in the senate of all places.
