She's had decades to jump off the bus, she is fine with Bill campaigning for her, etc. She owns it, and a vote for Hillary is a vote for First Husband too. Bill will be sitting in the White House schmoozing, making deals, explaining stuff in his folksy way, etc. I'm not saying this is an argument for voting for a dangerous, ignorant fascist, but we do need to see things for what they are. I don't see how Hillary's childhood has much to do with any of it.

Just exactly how Ernest, did Bill Clinton give us George aWol Bush? I could be wrong, it's happened a time or two, but it has long been my conclusion our frat-boy scion of a Hitler financing convicted of the Trading With the Enemies Act Robber Baron familyw was appointed to the highest office in the land by the unelected judges of an ideologically stacked court, a voting population too willingly (or too stupid) to let them get away with it, and a fraternity brother opponent lacking the courage to stand up say "hey, wait just a minute!"<br /><br />Still not gonna' vote for her.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-72407008034252841952016-07-02T08:26:31.228-04:002016-07-02T08:26:31.228-04:00Steve you do know there is difference between &qu...Steve you do know there is difference between "The Clintons" and Bill Clinton?

So he declines to act as if he has anything to be either ashamed of or to hide. If he hears an old acquaintance is flying in, then damned if he's not going to do the natural thing and say hello, and the media jackals and the right-wing hyenas can all go to Hell.<br /><br />Some things are more important than winning an election, and retaining your self-respect and sense of identity may well be one of them for Bill and Hillary. It's not like they've never been in the White House before. If they're going to win again, it's going to be on their terms.<br /><br />See also: the disdainful way Hillary ignores the media's tantrums over her refusal to hold press conferences or take questions at campaign events.Ken_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709548046018362581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4845133062549218062016-07-01T22:05:59.768-04:002016-07-01T22:05:59.768-04:00@Ken Right,

So, this ONE TIME at least -- JUST TO BE A BIT NAUGHTY -- I will ... DISCIPLINE myself (... oh yeah ... ) to just observing that Hillary's telling in some interview or another than she urged that she and Bill actually go ahead and accept an invite to one of the Donald's knock-on wedding parties because "Come on, Bill: it could be FUN!" - is rather akin to the abiding affection that English middle class-jumpers' and strivers' for Vicars & Tarts themed parties.<br /><br />IAE, I'm also standing at least one foot in Jeff Ryan's line, due to his spot-on mortar hits at the invitingly repressible KenRight. I now to proceed to Show Solidarity wtih JR in adding that KenRight's not even all that able a troll, given his inexplicable omission of Saul Alinsky.<br /><br />Incidentally, HRC and I share something that Bill and Obama share not: a letter-writing relationship with Saul Alinsky. But mine was only 3: first I wrote, then his response, then me back, which I don't know if he missed or ignored given in it I informed him I'd chosen a different post-grad, quite possibly one of which he was not approving (or else he was just busy or sick, I really don't know.). This is actually something a lot of Berners and Obamaites don't get about Hillary: she wrote a degree thesis on Saul's work (not real long or especially deep, but better than either of them did ...), and they kept up a running correspondence thereafter until he died. I don't think she was 'being naughty in this; I think she found a different model and set of values than those she'd grown up at home with.<br /><br />Finally, I applaud the question and observation of Sue Smart. Indeed, I were some moderate con like Norm Onstein, I might even go around warning my fellow cons "It's a trap!"<br />Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-35834352455953528142016-07-01T18:08:45.347-04:002016-07-01T18:08:45.347-04:00Uhm, Ken, you're helping.

But you have to be careful with "repetition compulsion" as an explanation for anything. I mean, it was not HRC who spoke to Lynch, so otherwise you are confounding Bill's choices with hers. Bill Clinton is a known schmoozer, a talker, a chatter, and I can see him walking over to the next plane -- and you'd have to be steeped in conspiratorial fantasies, plus faux outrage, to see that event as anything but circumstance. But then that's the Repub playbook. For me, there's no there there. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574280118169828597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-77991520900185459892016-07-01T14:13:47.769-04:002016-07-01T14:13:47.769-04:00BILL CLINTON TALKED TO A PERSON-GATE is sure to be...BILL CLINTON TALKED TO A PERSON-GATE is sure to be the beginning of the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29159503000300529572016-07-01T13:21:21.718-04:002016-07-01T13:21:21.718-04:00I want to wake up tomorrow and it's Nov. 9th. ...I want to wake up tomorrow and it's Nov. 9th. This is going to be agonizing watching Bill try to sabotage a truly historic election -- not saying he's doing it on purpose but the final result is the same. This is shaping up to be a fucking wave in our favor -- or at least a big ripple. We can't have it ruined by Bill's ham-handedness. They need to put a minder on him who can sit on him when shit like this starts to happen. He is incorrigible.<br /><br />That being said, I think Bill is largely responsible for Trump actually being in the race -- so I gotta love him for that.mlbxxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931351723996391533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-30075311520584288742016-07-01T12:53:35.034-04:002016-07-01T12:53:35.034-04:00Nah.
