The veneer of invincibility was striped away from Hillary Clinton Tuesday night on the campus of Dartmouth College during the Democrat Debates.
There are only two reasons that anyone would vote for Senator Clinton to be President of the United States of America now, actually there has always been only two reasons but they have been made all the more clear by her performance on Tuesday night.
First, reason that anyone would vote for Senator Clinton is that she is a woman and second, her last name is Clinton.
That would make anyone who would vote for Hillary Clinton chauvinisticly sexist and/or hyper-partisan because her supporters would rather vote for a woman named Clinton than any man who is more qualified to be President.
The aftermath and subsequent reaction to Senator Clinton’s performance, by her own campaign is evidence that Senator Clinton is not ready for primetime. They lashed out at Tim Russert blaming him for asking Senator Clinton questions that he would have asked any Republican man without blinking. According to the Drudge Report:
CLINTON INNER-CIRCLE BLAME 'UNFAIR' MODERATOR TIM RUSSERT. 'HE BORDERED ON THE UNPROFESSIONAL,' TOP HILLARY ADVISER CHARGES. 'HE BROKE DEBATE RULES AND WAS BELLIGERENT'What did Russert do? He didn’t let Senator Clinton get away with non-answers and obfuscation. For once in her life Senator Clinton was asked to actually answer a question and she didn’t like it.
Still, she continued her strategy of avoiding direct answers to questions: She wouldn't say how she would address Social Security; she declined to pledge whether she would stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, or say whether she supports giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.All tricks from the Clinton playbook but they only work if Hillary is not pressed to answer a question. Most mainstream media have allowed Senator Clinton to get away with for years.
Instead she tried to turn every issue into an argument against President Bush. She said Bush's name 25 times, more than all six of her rivals combined.—NEDRA PICKLER
But Tuesday was not a night that anyone was giving Clinton her usual free pass. Everyone knew her tricks and held her feet to the fire which resulted in the Senator’s poor debate showing.
However it was Senator Clinton’s lawyer like manipulations that were the most noticeable regarding the issue of issuing driver licenses to illegal aliens.
It was not just that her answer about whether illegal immigrants should be issued driver's licenses was at best incomprehensible and at worst misleading.Two hours? Senator Clinton has dodged and weaved, parsed, stonewalled and manipulated her entire public career this perhaps is the only time that she was held into account. Her husband did it for eight years of his presidency and ultimately brought disgrace upon the Whitehouse. Didn't you know? Parsing is the defination of what is, is!
It was that for two hours she dodged and weaved, parsed and stonewalled. –Roger Simon
America can ill afford to return to the Clintonesque type of politics that so divided this nation and that are embodied in Hillary Clinton. Letting Bill Clinton back near the Lincoln Bedroom is not a good idea either.
Senator Clinton once remarked, “Now I kiddingly say to people that I'll walk into the Oval Office well aware of the record of cronyism and corruption and incompetence and deception, and then I'll pick up the rug in the Oval Office and find so much stuff under there I won't know where it came from.”
Big ambitions Senator Clinton but many of us would be satisfied if you started by lifting off your mask of double talk, dodging, weaving, parsing, stonewalling and manipulation. The cronyism, corruption and deception are obviously your own Senator.

I think it's horrible that Tim Russert organized and conspired, along with Barack Obamma, John Edwards, Newt Gingrich,The Fox News Network, and the rest of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, to make Our Great Leader, Hillary Clinton, look bad during the Debate.
ReplyDeleteHow dare Russert personally attack Hillary under color of Journalism, using the so-called penatrating question that he did. The Prresidential Nomination is Hillary's by Divine Right! Russert is but a PEON. He can be easilly be replaced once he ceases to be useful, as Dan Rather has been.
That Fairness Doctrine which Hillary is planning to use against Talk Radio for the Greater Good, can also be applied to the so-called Mainstream News Media. Tim Russert, we cut Dan Rather loose for his blunder that got Kerry defeated in 2004. Tim Russert: You can join Dan in Mongolia fishing for those Mongolian Taiman Salmon, because after 2008, you won't be welcome in this country after what you did to Hillary!
What a fine satiric wit! Thank you for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteThere's an old saying in the car business. "If you can't dazzle people with brilliance, then baffle them with B.S.".
ReplyDeleteHillary is not capable of brilliance, and it's nice to see that she wasn't able to use her baffle routine either.
Maybe her,and Bubba should do everyone a favor and go sell used cars. At least, selling lemon cars won't disgrace the White house and bring trouble to the whole world.
