2. YES, Hillary is an ALL POWERFUL WOMAN! She can |

do ANYTHING, or promise ANYTHING, or say ANYTHING, because she is entitled to win this election!
And I am entitled to $28 in gas tax savings, so that I can buy a house that won't be foreclosed upon, and I want to be a millionaire too...I am waiting for Hillary to promise me that, too!

Both Clintons are brilliant and skilled people, but this is the very heart of my disappointment with them, not the slimey tactics they have endured and now mastered in their political repertoire.
When you run a country or a campaign strictly on short term public opinion polls and opportunistic nuances, you have a rudderless zeitgeist that leaves you surfing up on the wave of the moment, and staying away from the hard choices and goals it takes to lead.
2 years into Bill's first term the polarized Congress turned Republican and tied him up for the next 6 years. He was also unable to give Gore the sort of boost an untainted and respected president could have.
Were Hillary to win, we would see the polarization of this campaign on steroids, the news media would see it as a golden age of scat and smear sufficient to drive their ratings to the moon, and we would experience the same old sick and constipated Washington that has dithered around burping up money and sticking each other in the rump with daggers.
