A good deal of the “uber-bitch” image Hillary has developed comes from those who used to work for her or work closely with her who have described her that way not only on occasion, but in their memoirs. Most notably is probably Dick Morris. I don’t challenge the accuracy of Dick Morris’s memory or truthfulness, I simply take them as his personal experience with the woman.

And if HALF of these stories are true, the picture painted is a pretty grim one.

Not to mention how far it would go to explain Bill’s roving eye… ;)

CosmicConservative’s last blog post..?The dryer was spinning in B-minor??

Obama

Inexperienced/not qualified 39%
Do not trust him 15%
He’s muslim 12%
The first two I can easily accept. The third one is rather discouraging.

McCain
Disagree with iraq war position 27%
Too much like Bush/need a change 25%
He is a republican 23%
Again, the first two seem reasonable, but the third seems to show a shallowness. If someone is a republican, that person is automatically a non choice for any elected office? None of the respondents for Clinton or Obama said that them being democrats was a reason not to vote for them.

Clinton
Do not trust her 24%
Do not want Bill back in White House 18%
Do not like her 16%
Couple those attitudes with the success she and her husband have experienced in politics, and Hillary starts to shape up as a classic heel like you might find in big time wrestling. Just as wrestling is manipulated to draw out emotional responses, somehow, perhaps even unconsciously, Hillary has created a persona that draws out the visceral dislike.

I think the difference between her and Bush in this regard is that these reactions are drawn out in response to Hillary as a person, while I see the Bush hatred as an extremely emotional reaction to his policies, not to him as a person.

But, truth be told, I just don’t like her. She has a lower approval rating than my ex-wife:)

As for the corps, they aren’t special – and shouldn’t be protected by Big Government. If anything we need the “death penalty” for corporations (forced dissolution) – not the bailouts that they get from BG.

Amazing.

Disagreeing with it, or acknowledging that it is excessive is one thing, but being totally incapable of understanding the way this woman rubs some people the wrong way reveals a rather large blindspot.

I understand PERFECTLY how George Bush rubs some people the wrong way, while not sharing that contempt.

I guess I’m just a LEEEEETLE bit superior. I’ll try not to gloat.

But I don’t like her and for too many reasons to go into here. In the main I don’t like Hillary because of her ideology and the condescending way she pursues it. She is not unique in this regard, in fact I think you pretty much have to be condescending to be a Leftist since a Leftist fundamental assertion is that a ruling elite somehow “knows what is best” for the poor schlubs that are just trying to live their lives.

My personal opinion is that a lot of the anti-Hillary sentiment can be traced to her being put in charge of a major government initiative as an unappointed and unelected figure who had no accountability except to her bed-partner. Her first public statements on the Health Care debacle were typical “We know best” condescending Leftist lecturing, and as the public began demanding visibility of what she was doing, she racheted up the secrecy of the endeavor in a manner if not equal to Cheney’s energy commission, then it was worse. And then when it all fell apart, her response was not to take responsibility but to viciously blame everyone for the failure but herself. As time went on it became clear to many of us that this was Hillary’s standard methodology.

I won’t even go into the Travel Office firings, the Rose Law firm stonewalling and dissembling, the windfall cattle futures deal, etc…

Frankly it is quite astonishing to me how people don’t understand how all of this paints a picture of an astonishingly self-absorbed, arrogant, vindictive and potentially corrupt human being. What amazes me is how people can ignore all this and suggest that she’s just misunderstood.

I think I understand her quite well.

CosmicConservative’s last blog post..Took the Hi-Def plunge last night?

It’s job is NOT to protect me from my own stupidity or from Big Evil Corporations.

I still can’t understand the fundamental difference between the Left and the Right. The Left wants the Government everywhere EXCEPT in the bedroom. The Right doesn’t want the Government anywhere else EXCEPT the bedroom. But I digress as usual.

Being that I”m not a Clinton-hater and won’t freak if Hillary wins in November, the question is not for me and I too would like to see the answer.
