“I warned Bill to stay this far away from that woman!”

Bill is famous for keeping folks up all night in policy discussions.

Maybe I’ve been wrong about it, but just because a guy likes to hear the sound of his own voice and BS with others, it doesn’t necessarily follow that he actually cares about the subject being discussed oris willing to actually take responsibility for it.

And he quite obviously doesn’t care about the outcome of the decisions made in those all night discussions beyond what it puts in his pocket.

I see it as a social thing, NOT trying to be a leader or a desire to actually shape society in some particular political philosophy.

Trailer park security lights would never be bright enough for the likes of Bill — even now Hillary’s biggest problem is the limelight Bill just can’t help stealing.

Oh, I agree with that fully; But that’s a whole different set of psychoses. It has little or nothing to do with Hillary actually being the one who actually made most of the policy decisions. I’m a ‘truther’ when it comes to that. I doubt that any amount of evidence could change my mind.

“Other than the huge amounts of money they have stolen and scammed and the adulation’, I honestly believe that Bill would have been happy with a life as a trailer park manager in Hope Arkansas, maybe dealing some drugs on the side for extra cash.”

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln….

I don’t doubt Hillary made a lot of the decisions (though claiming them now is a double-edged sword), but Bill is famous for keeping folks up all night in policy discussions. He’s the bona fide wonk, she’s the pragmatist. Trailer park security lights would never be bright enough for the likes of Bill — even now Hillary’s biggest problem is the limelight Bill just can’t help stealing. If he hailed from Possum Holler instead of “Hope”, he’d probably never even mention it.

On the slogan fodder front, there may be real potential here:

If you liked Janet Reno and Madeleine Albright, you’re gonna love the rest of Hillary’s Cabinet.

Yeah, Bill likes the money and attention he got as President and now gets as the ex-president jet-setter, but I never believed that he wanted to lead a state or a nation or make any sort of policy decisions… That was always Hilary’s area, and Bill never was more than her sock puppet.

Other than the huge amounts of money they have stolen and scammed and the adulation’, I honestly believe that Bill would have been happy with a life as a trailer park manager in Hope Arkansas, maybe dealing some drugs on the side for extra cash.

“She wants to lead power, but seems to be completely devoid of any guiding principles beyond the pursuit of power.”

Fixed it. I’d peg the pursuit of money at a close second to power — and not in the sense that money = power, either, but in its own right. While Hill & Bill are not above a little insider trading or petty theft, those are the cheap thrills. In a big con, real players don’t have to steal the money, marks from Norman Hsu to John Q. Public just flat out give it to you. Because, of course, you’re worth it. With the Clintons, it’s about self-esteem, not principles.

We need her as Pr. like we need the bubonic plague.

“Impeach the president, and her husband too.”

- – Hillary Rodham Clinton, or Hillary Clinton, or Hillary Rodham, or just Hillary, depending on what sells.

political priorities above the interests of the nation she wants to lead. Not serve, but lead. The idea of service doesn’t seem to be in her DNA. She wants to lead, but seems to be completely devoid of any guiding principles beyond the pursuit of power.

I have to disagree with you here Bryan. We all know what leaders are, and we all know people who serve, and neither is what the Seahag wants.

Her sole focus is to wield power over others.

The president finally settled on Janet Reno, who had been recommended by Hillary’s brother Hugh Rodham. “I don’t think Clinton believed he had a choice,” recalled Dee Dee Myers, his press secretary. “He had painted himself into a corner, and he had to appoint a woman.”

P whipped, when your a womanizing, immoral dirt bag, other people have power over you but personal morals doesn’t have anything to do with the office of the Pres. yeah right.

He initially agreed to bomb Serbian military positions and help the Muslims arm themselves, but quickly reversed himself when NATO allies balked. The key factor in the president’s shift was Hillary. She viewed the situation as “a Vietnam,” recalled a Hillary friend. But two years later, after more than 250,000 deaths, Hillary became “an advocate for the use of force in Bosnia,”Her change of heart was partly political.

A textbook example of the liberal art of war.
Not enough stones to do the right thing, confuse multiple issues and conflicts, let people die and then make a political decision.

I usually just tell anyone who likes the “yay for women!” aspects of Clinton’s campaign that I can think of two women who were in support positions in the executive branch who have demonstrated enough grasp of politics and policy in their published writings that I’d trust them with the Presidency. One is Lynne Cheney. The other is Peggy Noonan.

Hillary Clinton’s only “rational” war is one that pits women against men.

From non-intervention (anti-war Vietnam/Iraq) to short-term gain, Cold War mentality and naivete about the growing Islamist threat, the Clintons and their cronies have been a disaster for the United States.

Good analysis, Bryan.
