President Obama and the minions who developed the Affordable Care Act publicly admitted that they relied on the stupidity of the American people to pass the law. The Democrats are unfazed by that insult and, apparently, want to double down. H.L. Menken agreed, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.”
Can you imagine any company who would hire a corrupt almost 70 year old habitual liar, Hillary Clinton, who is under FBI investigation as their CEO…because she’s a woman…with the following resume’?
- In 1974, she was fired from the Watergate staff “…because she was a liar, she was an unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of Confidentiality.” High praise from her Democratic supervisor.
- As First Lady, Pulitzer Prize columnist Bill Safire said: “Americans of all political persuasion are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady…is a congenital liar…She is in the longtime habit of lying…or suborning lying in her aides and friends.”
- From her protectors at the CIA, FBI and Secret Service she was considered ill-tempered, violent, loud-mouth, hateful and abusive…all documented in various published books…too raw to print here. The crew of “Marine One” helicopter nicknamed the craft, “Broomstick ONE”, in her honor.
- Her accomplishment includes a failed, costly, attempt at healthcare reform…the recommended appointment of Janet Reno as Attorney General…the appointments of former law partners Web Hubbell (who went to prison), Vince Foster (who supposedly committed suicide), and William Kennedy (who was forced to resign from Treasury).
- Does “Travel Gate” or “File Gate” or “Bimbo Gate” ring a bell? Does the stealing of White House furniture, china and artwork cause any concern? She may not have been broke when she and Bill left the White House, but they both were morally bankrupt.
- She couldn’t stop there. Currently, we have been inundated, ad nauseam, with “Video-gate”, “E-mail-gate” and “Foundation-gate.”
- Obama and Loretta Lynch will assure us that there will be an “FBI-gate” as well.
This should be an easy takeover by the Republicans, right? Not so fast! Recent polling shows no Republican candidate with a clear win over this embarrassment….(gasp)…including Bernie.
- The Establishment Republicans failed on Benghazi, failed on the IRS, failed on Obamacare and failed on the budget and failed on Fast and Furious…and are confused why there is a civil war within their party. Let’s call it “Failure-gate.”
- The Establishment- Republicans are fighting hard to topple Trump or Cruz from the role of leaders…while trying to wrestle the mantle of “conservative” from Cruz.
- Trump has been described, negatively, by one of his fellow “conservatives” as likely to make a deal with the Democrats. Isn’t that called bi-partisanship?
- Cruz has been excoriated by his colleagues in the Senate for taking conservative positions his constituents support. Isn’t that novel? Yet, the establishment views him as the most dangerous to their personal playground.
- Even the “fair and balanced” Fox news clearly favor the establishment, especially Rubio who, like the rest of the field, claims to have “conservative” credentials. And Rubio, like Trump, claims to support a strict immigration policy in spite of his previous position. The question for Rubio, as well as Bush, is why have they done nothing about the “sanctuary county” policies in seven Florida counties?
- Before the Democrats begin frothing, these seven counties are in Democratic strongholds as are the three centers of Cartel drug control in Florida.
On a bright note, Winston Churchill said, “You can count on Americans to do the right thing…after they’ve tried everything else.” To that end, here is my hope that Democrats will declare their Convention gun-free and ID free. As for the Republicans……..
