Why another President Clinton will hurt
If we could magically go forward in time to November, Hillary Clinton would be the 1st female president of the United States. In the most recent Democracy Corps Report from October 21-23, Clinton garners 49% of the vote, Guliani gets 45%, 3% other and 3% unknown. I have a problem with that. Actually, I have several problems with that. Let’s take a look at the recent Presidents.
- 1989-1993 George H.W. Bush
- 1993-2001 William J. Clinton
- 2001-2009 George W. Bush
- (2009-2013) Hillary R. Clinton ?????
This clearly shows that if Clinton were to be elected, the office of the Presidency would have been in the hands of 2 families for 24 years. If we broaden our scope to look at the Bush and Clinton influence in the 1st and 2nd Families of the United States (President’s Family and Vice President’s family) we can calculate this:
- 1981-1989 Vice President George H.W. Bush; Second Lady Barbara Bush
- 1989-1993 President George H.W. Bush; First Lady Barbara Bush
- 1993-2001 President William Clinton; First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
- 2001-2009 President George W. Bush; First Lady Laura Bush
- 2009-2017* President Hillary Rodham Clinton; First Gentleman William Clinton
*Hypothetical 2nd term
This is the far more liberal of the two situations, but either way one looks at it, 24 or 36 years for two families to run the country sets a dangerous precedent and is outright irresponsible. By continuing to elect these families into power, voters have endorsed nepotism and “business as usual” politics. How can Clinton claim that she is an “agent of change” when she has been around the Washington political scene working in the Watergate scandal in 1974? As a high powered attorney at Rose Law Firm from 1976-1992? Or as the First Lady of Arkansas for 12 years? Or as a director of Wal-Mart from 1986-1992?
Hillary Clinton is no doubt a very accomplished woman. But there is a common thread underlying all of these accomplishments- her incredible drive to get, by all means necessary, what she wants. I believe that any person who has been involved in politics and law for almost 30 years did not get where they are on principle and virtue alone, multiple campaign finance scandals notwithstanding. Being a good politician by nature means making deals with the devil and flip-flopping to suit one’s own needs- as evidenced in her 2002 vote to authorize force in Iraq, among other things. By electing Clinton, voters would send a clear message that they want politics and politicians as usual. I predict that were Clinton to be elected, her hypothetical tenure as President would be no different than the presidencies of the past 50 years. She does not have the panache, charisma or values necessary to lead America anywhere off of the downward spiral that we have been bent upon following. Once the novelty of the first female president wears off, voters will see that, yet again, they have been tricked by yet another smooth operator on a power trip.
But aside from all of those reasons, the main sticker is that we as a nation all climbed into a time machine to take us to November of 2008, 50% of us would vote against Clinton. And if there is anything that this country doesn’t need it’s another dividing and polarizing President.

Here is the only candidate that America can afford:
And the PEOPLE LOVE HIM:
Ron Paul Banners engulf MSNBC Dem DebateAnd yet:
"If an orchestrated attempt by the national media corporations are intent on drowning Ron Paul’s campaign in a sea of lies, treachery, and media spin, then surely they must at least try to conceal their tactics. They have not.
A cursory glance of national polling data will reveal to anyone, even the most diehard supporter of corporate media’s integrity, that the mainstream polls used as statistical proof of Ron Paul’s low chances more often than not do NOT include Ron Paul in the polls."
Oh, NOT INCLUDING HIM in the polls, huh?
Therefore, I will give your "shit polls," all the consideration they are do, MSM!!
And it gets worse, readers!
Pathetic. No other words necessary.
Liar! Spamming not possible!
