HILLARY’S NOT FOOLING ANYONE
Hillary’s attempt to cast herself as a blue collar girl is as phony as any of her reinventions and voters realize it. Contrary to her belief, we are not morons. We know that she has had child care at her beck and call, along with a full staff of servants as she reared Chelsea first in the Arkansas Governors’ Mansion and then in the White House. She’s no working Mom. But it serves her purpose to portray herself in that light so as to give voters who are turned off by Rev. Wright and worried about Obama an excuse to vote for her. Her posturing as something she is not — a redneck girl — makes it OK to vote for her even if the motivation is not affection for Hillary but fear of Obama.
O’REILLY-CLINTON INTERVIEW SHOWS DEM FLAW
Published on FOXNews.com on May 2, 2008.
Bill O’Reilly asked Hillary Clinton the key question about the war in Iraq: What happens if we pull out and the Iranians move in? She talked around the issue, but never gave a convincing answer to O’Reilly’s question. She said she would replace force with diplomacy. But, as Frederick the Great said, “Diplomacy without force is like music without instruments.” If our troops are long gone from Iraq, the Iranians will snub our diplomacy and laugh at our entireties. They will add Iraq to their other trophies in the region: Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.
Hillary’s inability to answer O’Reilly’s question reveals a larger flaw in the Democratic arguments as the election approaches. Obama will be the Democratic nominee (take that to the bank). How will the Iraq War play in the race? On the surface, it would appear to be a disaster for the Republicans. With American deaths now over the 4,000 mark and the seriously wounded at around 15,000, we are sick and tired of this war. It has destroyed George W. Bush and could well do the same to John McCain.
