Hillary!

Postby forestwalker » November 15th, 2007, 11:54 am

I have my reasons for believing Hillary Clinton to be the worst of the Democratic lot running for president. But what are y'all's? She's talked about like she's the bogey(wo)man but the reasons that she's so despised aren't clear to me. So have at it. What are they?
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

I hated the inevitability of her becoming a candidate. Whether or not she is really that way, she comes across as overly determined to take the White House even from her stint as a First Lady. She was highly opionated and dismissive of contrasting opinion. She coined the term "vast right wing conspiracy" as a blame shifter for her husband and acted shocked when she learned the "truth" about him (and I don't believe she didn't know - I'm of the belief her own aspirations were more important). She went through this charade of "I'm never running for president" for years, all the while no doubt gathering exploratory information.

Dick Morris, who worked on the Clintons' campaign camp, said she holds grudges and abuses her power to render retribution. He's shared a story that she was once so aggravated at him for disagreeing with her about a pool for the governor's mansion that she didn't speak to him for about 6 months and he was in the "inner circle." He said Bill told him, "no way I can help you with that."

I'd list everything she stands for that I don't like but a) everyone knows that and b) she could change on a whim. I know some of these traits could describe any politician but to me she just seems the embodiment of it.
