How Far Right Has Hillary Gone?
I come to expose Hillary Clinton is yet another
loyal-to-the-system right-wing politician,
willing to tell any lie to be anointed
chief spokesrobot of the ultra-wealthy,
the “leader of the free world”
May she drown in the depths of her hypocrisy
An conservative columnist tells his readers
it’s almost certain that the Democrats
will win the White House in 2008
So what to do? Support the most conservative Democrat
He writes: “To right-wingers willing to look
beneath what probably sounds to them
like the same identical views
of the Democratic candidates,
it is pretty clear that
Hillary Clinton is the most conservative”
I Come to Bury Hillary, Not to Praise HerIs Hillary a Republican in DragI come to expose Hillary Clinton as yet another loyal-to-the-System right-wing politician, willing to tell any lie to be anointed chief spokesrobot of the ultra-wealthy, the “leader of the free world.”
Hillary’s pro-war disguised as pro-peace position confirms the opinion that, like Bill, there is no depth of hypocrisy to which she will not sink.
American service members and Iraqi citizens continue to die as long as she continues to vote to fund their deaths. This is the reality. Sadly, these are not noble deaths.
They are deaths for an illegal war by a fraudulent president. They are deaths for Halliburton profits and the military bases to protect them.
More than three-thousand Americans, more than 800,000 Iraqis have died to preserve, protect and defend the demands of empire.
This war must end now. Hillary can end it, simply by voting against funding it.
Instead of Hillary’s babble and broken promises, we need to hear:
“This war was wrong – and illegal – from the beginning. The situation has only become worse since the U.S. bombing, invasion, and occupation.
"The U.S. must get out of Iraq. Bring all American combat forces, military and private, home now. And don’t abandon them once they're here.”
Hillary does not deserve election to the presidency. Instead she needs to accompany Bush and all other war criminals to an international war crimes tribunal. It is one thing to lie about one’s political positions.
It’s much more serious – and repulsive – when your lies mean hundreds or thousands more will be senselessly killed.
Who do you think said this on June 20?
a) Rudy Giuliani; b) Hillary Clinton; c) George Bush; d) Mitt Romney; or e) Barack Obama?
The American military has done its job.Right, it was the woman who wants to be president because . . . because she wants to be president . . . because she thinks it would be nice to be president . . .Look what they accomplished. They got rid of Saddam Hussein. They gave the Iraqis a chance for free and fair elections.
They gave the Iraqi government the chance to begin to demonstrate that it understood its responsibilities to make the hard political decisions necessary to give the people of Iraq a better future.
So the American military has succeeded. It is the Iraqi government which has failed to make the tough decisions which are important for their own people.
No other reason, no burning cause, no heartfelt desire for basic change in American society or to make a better world . . . she just thinks it would be nice, even great, to be president.
And keep the American Empire in business, its routine generating of horror and misery being no problem; she wouldn’t want to be known as the president that hastened the decline of the empire.
And she spoke the above words at the “Take Back America” conference; she was speaking to liberals, committed liberal Democrats.
She didn’t have to cater to them with any flag-waving pro-war rhetoric; they wanted to hear anti-war rhetoric (and she of course gave them a bit of that as well out of the other side of her mouth), so we can assume that this is how she really feels, if indeed the woman feels anything.
Think of why you are opposed to the war. Is it not largely because of all the unspeakable suffering brought down upon the heads and souls of the poor people of Iraq by the American military?
Hillary Clinton couldn’t care less about that, literally. She thinks the American military has “succeeded”. Has she ever unequivocally labeled the war “illegal” or “immoral”?
I used to think that Tony Blair was a member of the right wing or conservative wing of the British Labour Party. I
finally realized one day that that was an incorrect description of his ideology. Blair is a conservative, a bloody Tory.
How he wound up in the Labour Party is a matter I haven’t studied.
Hillary Clinton, however, I’ve long known is a conservative; going back to at least the 1980s, while the wife of the Arkansas governor, she strongly supported the death squad torturers known as the Contras, who were the empire’s proxy army in Nicaragua.
Now we hear from America’s venerable conservative magazine, William Buckley’s National Review an editorial by Bruce Bartlett, policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan.
Treasury official under President George H.W. Bush; a fellow at two of the leading conservative think-tanks, the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute; you get the picture.
Bartlett tells his readers that it’s almost certain that the Democrats will win the White House in 2008. So what to do? Support the most conservative Democrat.
He writes: “To right-wingers willing to look beneath what probably sounds to them like the same identical views of the Democratic candidates, it is pretty clear that Hillary Clinton is the most conservative.”
We also hear from America’s premier magazine for the corporate wealthy, Fortune, whose recent cover features a picture of Clinton and the headline: “Business Loves Hillary.”
Do those in love with the idea of a woman president care about such things?
Have they never heard of Margaret Thatcher, who tried her best to cripple the UK’s marvelous National Health Service, amongst a hundred other reactionary policies?
Most of Clinton’s supporters would love to see the end of the Iraqi daily horror and so they presumably will also ignore Ted Koppel, the newsman of impeccable establishment credentials.
He reported recently that he was told by someone who had held a senior position at the Pentagon and occasionally briefs Hillary Clinton on Gulf area matters, that she expects US troops to still be in Iraq at the end of her first term and even at the end of her second term.
