In the process of purging my inbox this morning, I discover there's a message from Hillary Clinton's campaign. My hand slowly, yet deliberately slides the mouse to the delete button, I lift my finger to click...but wait! What's that? What's that you say Lassie? Hillary needs my help?! My pockets are empty so can't help ya there even if I wanted to. Oh good, a video. I don't even have to read to help. Curious, I drag the cursor from the delete button to the play button.

Dressed in the obligatory Navy blue blazer and pearls with the U.S. flag in the background, Hillary introduces herself, "Hi, I'm Hillary Clinton and I need some advice from everyone out there who's watching this."

Oh boy, do I have some advice for you Senator, I thought, as I searched for a text box. I managed to evade the reading, but apparently there was going to be writing involved.

Hillary continued, unaware of the advice I was already conjuring up, "I want to know what you think on one of the most important questions of our campaign."

Wow, wonder what that might be. Explaining your secret plan to getting us out of Viet..I mean Iraq if you become President? Choosing a running mate that the people will like, but who won't steal your thunder?

The crescendo builds as Senator Clinton explains, "It's something we've been struggling with, debating and agonizing over for months." Oh my God, is she coming out of the closet? Sorry, but I live in New Jersey okay, we've been through this. Agonizing? Really? I sure hate to see people agonize. Tell me Hilary, please how can I be of help? I have a lot to contribute, really I do. Maybe we could talk about the need for diplomacy in Iran and Syria. Don't worry, I'm sure we can spin it so you won't be accused of being soft on terror. How about the enormous humanitarian crisis that has resulted from the war that you voted for? I know, that's risky, they might attack you for blaming America for the problem, but it kinda really is our fault you know. The huge gap between the rich and the poor and the vanishing middle class - that's a good one. I can understand you agonizing over that because the mention of it gets you accused of being a communist - a socialist at best. I can help you work around that. These are important issues you know.

"So, now I'm turning it over to you, the American people," Clinton announces. I'm more than a little stunned at this point Hillary Clinton is ready to relinquish some control and power to me? Little ol' me? Suddenly, I feel both pride along with great pressure to not disappoint.

Then she lays it out. "Here's the issue," she explains. "What do you think our campaign song should be? There are so many great choices and we want and need your help so please go to HillaryClinton.com and vote."

Hand back on the mouse, a slow, but steady glide towards the delete button, and a very deliberate click.

Why do people support Hillary Clinton?

I voted for Bill twice. I will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton. She is utterly amoral in her desparate quest for power. Everything from supporting flag burning amendments to hob-knobbing for dollars with Rupert Murdoch. This yellow dog democrat will vote third party or Libertarian next time. (Trust me, I will NEVER EVER under any circumstances vote for a Republican again.)

lest there be any confusion (I received several e-mails asking why i'm voting for hillary) - the piece was pure, unadulterated sarcasm.

Advice for Hillary

The best advice I have for Hillary is to get the hell out of town. We need her just about as bad as we need Bush. I am all for a women president but for her to be elected would be another disaster like letting Bush and the Republican Party steal the last two elections. We sure don't need a power hungry, bought and payed for, egotistical, pampered excuse for a woman running this country.

A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest...

I am very happy

( if happiness is the right word here) that more and more people start to see what a horrible narcissistic monster our Hillary is. She is reallly a creation of the establishement and loves it. I also am happy that sarcasm comes from a woman - writer which means to me that surely as Hell educated, smart and deep thinking women see through the smoke and mirrors of all that noise of the media and understand clearly that no matter what SOB comes to power if he/she is an SOB, no good comes out of it.

Thanks

I'd sooner vote for...

...the hypocrite John McCain, the vacillating Rudy, or the used car salesman Mitt than the she-wolf in earth tone clothing. Why? I'm so glad you asked.

Firstly, I simply don't trust her. She was as much a part of the rubber-stamping congress as ex-speaker Fat Hastert. She voted with the rest more often than she voted against them.

Which brings me to my second reason I don't want her near the White House. She refuses to admit she made a mistake in voting for the Iraq War. While she has been trying to render that decision moot by calling for a review of the vote on the war, it's not enough. A leader M-U-S-T have enough humility to admit if they have made a mistake. Her side-stepping of that issue worries me no end. That in conjunction with the fact that her deportment carries no hint of the ability to be humble drops her trustworthiness to nil in my eyes. The last person I want in the White House after the DUBYA disaster is another asshole that lacks humility.

Third, she strikes me as wanting to be president WAY TOO MUCH for my comfort level. She's out for blood and takes no prisoners. Once again, this is way too much like DUBYA for my tastes. I can understand that no one throws their hat in the ring if they don't really mean it (except perhaps for Kinky Friedman). However, we are still suffering from the regime of another political cutthroat. I would like a respite from that shit for the next go-around, not a replay with a woman in the leading role.

I don't trust her. I can't trust her. I won't trust her. If she would just admit her mistake, that would ease my mind in her direction. I probably still wouldn't vote for her, but at least I'd have a bit more sympathy towards her message and her ideas.

Blessed be!
Pappy

Hellary

The neolib being pushed down our collective throat by the CFR, her Bilderberg buddies and much of the rest of the wannabe elitist 'royalty' of the world. The vast majority of the American public is so easily manipulated. A very sad thing.

I'd vote of Hillary ...

She has my vote as soon as she admits to being part of a structure of powerful families, organizations, media-mongrels landowners, merchants, bankers and politicians that intertwine and has for the past 1,500-odd years used every means at their disposal to control what every it was that man needed to survive and profit from it. Even if it meant having a master plan that would coast the deaths of millions of innocent people, even gamble away all our existence, just to feed the hungry for that control.

Yeah ... then she could have my vote.
