Why I Think Hillary Will Win


If the 2008 presidential election were held today, Hillary Rodham Clinton would win.


Hillary’s minor stumbles in the MSNBC debate notwithstanding, she is simply running the most disciplined and effective campaign. She’s one of the most able politicians in America, and no one should underestimate her desire to be President and her calculating focus.


What you need to understand is that Hillary Clinton is, quite simply, craftier and more aggressive than the rest of the field. I know this firsthand, having battled with the Clinton Administration throughout the 1990’s while serving as a leader in Congress.


She’s only gotten tougher since then.


Early on, there were many fights, but one of the most important was over Hillary Clinton’s 1993 plan to expand government control of the health-care system. We were lucky to stop it, and we did so by standing our ground on the principle of putting patients ahead of bureaucracies. But now she’s back, and the health-care issue is a perfect example of the way she’s learned on the job and evolved her tactics.


Her latest health-care plan is more of the same stuff—greater federal control of our lives—but this time she’s presenting it in a way that is far more politically savvy. She leaves open questions of funding and enforcement, and is actively working to buy off the groups who opposed her plan in 1993.

Hillary Clinton and her agenda are not going to fade away. She is relentless and determined. Once she resolves a course of action in her mind, she is not going to be wishy-washy. The other candidates, and the rest of the world, will quickly learn that Hillary Clinton means business.


No doubt, Hillary Clinton has the Democrat primary all wrapped up. A couple of one-term senators are simply no match for the political machine she and her husband have built. I won’t go so far as to say that it’s not possible for a Republican to defeat her in the general election. But as things stand today, the GOP has a very real set of problems that are larger than any of the party’s candidates.


First and foremost, the Republican brand as effective stewards of the taxpayer dollar is in tatters, and the shredding doesn’t look to stop any time soon. Just last week, 138 House Republicans joined the Democrats in voting to override the president’s veto of a wasteful and pork-ridden Water Resources bill. That vote was a shameful display of personal politics over the national interest, and it contains the seeds of destruction of whatever conservative principles remain in the Republican party.


The callow accommodation to big-spending Democrats in Congress is one of the ways the Republican party will return itself to the days of serving as a compliant, permanent minority. Happy for table scraps, elected Republicans will simply abandon the ideas of their party in order to “get along”.


No wonder Americans prefer Democrats on the economy, taxes, and spending issues, according to recent polling data. When the choice is between Democrats, and the Democrat-lite ideas the GOP has become so comfortable offering, the Democrats will win every time.


The only way the Republican party will beat Hillary Clinton is to return to its limited-government roots. That’s the only way to rebuild a majority coalition.


For example, today religious conservatives are confused, disillusioned, and somewhat fractured. Too many of the current crop of self-appointed social conservative leaders have embraced an agenda that splits the GOP coalition. Big government ideas— runaway spending on “conservative” social programs, social engineering in the tax code, and greater government intervention into Americans’ personal lives—are the wrong path. This pandering has hurt the GOP in swing states, especially in the Mountain West and Great Lakes states.


To counter Hillary Clinton’s perfectly oiled political machine, Republicans need to return to their Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan roots. They need to present an alternative vision for America—a positive vision that limits government and trusts individuals and leaves families, churches, and businesses free to make their own decisions, and not have bureaucrats and politicians calling the shots.


Right now, the country is headed toward a date with Hillary Clinton, and big government is on the agenda. The only way to change that rendezvous is for candidates to offer a clear, principled, limited government alternative.

The media will choose the top three on each side, then it is up to electronic voting machines to do the rest.
Reply:The democrat and republican parties get together and choose who will win. They don't care to much, as long as it is one of them. They take turns.

Reply:Hillary is not a liar.





She is a magnificient liar and she is universally loved for it by her supporters.


She is actually admired for it.





During the Bill Clinton presidency, it became obvious that the president and the first lady were locked in a zero sum game of perception. The stronger people perceived her, the weaker they felt he was. Early in his tenure, news stories were rife about Hillary’s extraordinary influence on appointments, policy and political strategy. Each of these leaks sapped confidence in Bill Clinton’s strength and led to a drop in his ratings.





Watch tonight


Every time she approaches a microphone, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton labors under the necessity of fudging on her program - offering, instead, an artificial personality and a variety of poll-tested bromides that let her duck key issues.
Reply:The media can't choose a candidate but they can sure make it difficult for other candidates to get any exposure, thereby ensuring a good chance of a win for whomever they endorse.





It's up to us to do our own homework and decide who we, the people, want as our next president. Remember, this time in '04 Howard Dean was the front runner. There is still time to put Hillary where she belongs: A political footnote.
Reply:No doubt an insane Power hungry person, such as Clinton is, as was Stalin, Hitler, etc...Are all a force to be reckoned with...





...however, already there are stats noting that 50% both Dem and Rep will not vote for Clinton....I think she is fatally flawed...





...granted the Republicans cannot sit on the Loral’s... but I do hope that the US isn't ready for more Clinton scandals..... and an insane Government run health care. ..Just look at the Veterans Hospitals,,,20 years behind...and this is what we are suppose to aspire?

Reply:Conveniently Forgotten Facts. -- Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers


decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.





Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair.


Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among


other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing


Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put


a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river


about 25 miles north of New Haven Connecticut.





Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black


Panthers? In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the


Killers was still in jail. The shooter,Warren Kimbro, managed to get a


scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He


later became an assistant dean at an eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't


that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's


head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant


College dean! Only in America !





Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water


for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a


California School Board.





How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it


was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of


the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale


University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers


during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan


Lee.





Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He is


not a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the United


States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none


other than Bill Clinton.





O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable


Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now


an assistant college dean? No, neither!





The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale


University at the time. She is now known as the "smartest woman in the


world." She is none other than the Democratic Senator from the state of


New York ----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham


Clinton .
