Hillary Clinton

There’s a lot of hype in the news these days about Hillary Clinton being the front-runner to be the standard-bearer and likely Democrat nominee for the presidency in 2016.  Polls are showing her to have a 63% or more higher support in the polls that have been taken.  The bulk of that support could not possibly be coming from people old enough to have lived through and been aware of the politics of the early 1990s.  We already had a sampling of what Hillary was all about when she thought she was the co-president during the first two years of her husband Bill’s time in office in 1993 and ’94.  The younger voters of our present time would do well to find out what Hillary revealed herself to be at that time and why she was primarily responsible for the Democrats loss of both houses of congress to the Republicans in 1994 – for the first time in four decades. 

Hillary was not as cunning as President Obama when she was pushing for the passage of government-run healthcare during those first two years of President Clinton’s term in office.  Things were being revealed about the universal health insurance she and her cohorts were planning that are yet to be discovered about President Obama’s plan – and they’re both the same.  People would be losing the their doctors they had for many years that they had confidence in.  The country would be mapped out in districts and doctors would be assigned to  each of the districts and would not be allowed to cross from one district to the other.  It would be unlawful for doctors to offer their services on a pay-as-you-go cash only basis.  This is something yet to be discovered about the Obamacare plan.  No one will really know what Obamacare is all about until it is fully implemented.  Hopefully, it never will be.

Other matters were coming to the fore about Hillary Clinton’s radical socialistic leanings.  Mailings were being sent out from different watch-dog organizations telling about how Hillary Clinton was pushing for the ratification by the Senate of the The Law of the Sea Treaty.  If this treaty gets ratified by the Senate, that Hillary had been pushing and will be pushing big time if she becomes president, it will give a major part of the control of the country over to the United Nations.  It could all about render the Bill of Rights under our Constitution null and void.  A lot more will likely be said about this during the heat of the electioneering campaigns of 2016.

Pragmatist, Bill Clinton, got the message with the ’94 election results, took charge of his duties as President and steered the ship-of-state away from the course his wife was urging him to follow.  He became enamored of Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America plan and began to follow it.  Welfare programs were beginning to be revised creating incentives for people to find work and unemployment figures were improving.  He liked Newt’s plan so much that he had the Democratic Party adopting it to be their platform for the electioneering campaigns in 1996.  I sat in the living room watching the Democratic Convention on TV the night the Democrats were explaining what their platform was to be all about and I couldn’t help getting a hearty laugh as I was thinking, “This is the Contract With America Plan.  What will the Republicans do now, say, “Me too?”  I liked what Clinton was doing enough that I could have voted for him in ’96 if he had been pro-life.  We heard very little from Hillary after the 94 elections.  Now, 22 years later, a new generation of voters is swelling the polls in Hillary Clinton’s favor know nothing more about her than that she’ll be the first woman elected President of the United States and they’ll be witness to it.  If they succeed in electing her I’m afraid they’ll discover they elected the first “Dragon Lady” of the United States. 

Hillary Clinton is presently basking in the sun of what people think are objective news reporting outlets known as the mainstream media.  Fox News is not one of them.  The former get most of the attention.  When news analysts on Fox interview guests on their programs they have someone from each side of the aisle of political persuasion and the news truly is “Fair and Balanced.”  If people want to know what Hillary Clinton is all about they won’t get it from the mainstream media.  If there was ever a time when the free (?) press ever kept an eye on the Government to keep it honest and be the guardian of the benefits bestowed on us by the Bill of Rights in our Constitution there has surely not been much to show of it in recent times.   They act more like the Propaganda Ministry of this Socialist Administration.
