Hillary’s choice
Tea Party Nation ^ | October 14, 2012 | Judson Phillips

Posted on 10/14/2012 7:48:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I don’t often give Democrats advice but when I do, it is good advice.

Hillary Clinton has a choice she has to make. This one should seem like an obvious choice. It is a tough choice but obvious.

What is it?

Barack Obama is throwing Hillary under the bus. Obama cannot accept blame for anything and his handling of the Benghazi Consulate attack has been nothing short of disastrous. Obama not only lied about the attack, he blamed the violence on an idiotic video instead of its real cause, Islamic terrorism.

Unfortunately for Obama, the scandal is blowing up in their faces. Obama must deflect criticism of himself, so what does he do? He is throwing Hillary under the bus.

What does Hillary do?

There is some irony here. Bill Clinton has been the one Obama has called on to be his lifesaver. Bill Clinton was the star of the Democrat Convention, not Obama.

This is how Barack Obama repays Bill Clinton.

Sources say Bill Clinton is furious and Obama will not return his calls.

Hillary has made no secret of the fact she plans to leave if there is a second Obama term. She has also made it no secret that she is looking at running in 2016.

So what should she do?

She should resign a week before the election. She should do it in a very loud and public manner. She should lay waste to the Obama Regime.

One of the reasons Hillary is not doing this is because she fears many in the Democrat Party would hold it against her that she destroyed Obama’s reelection chances.

She is right. Initially that is exactly what would happen. But that is a short-term problem. Four years from now, when the Democrats have their next convention, Barack Obama is not going to be welcomed back like a conquering hero. In other words, he is not going to be welcomed back like Bill Clinton was welcomed to Charlotte.

Democrats look back with nostalgia to the days of the Clinton Presidency. They do not look back with nostalgia to the days of the Carter Presidency. The Obama term will be the same as the Carter term.

Hillary wants to run for President in 2016. If Obama wins, that will not happen. First, as unbelievable as it sounds, Joe Biden would be poised to run and be the nominee.

Second, as soon as Obama is reelected, Bill and Hillary will be cast on the trash heap. Not only will the Obama team blame Hillary for Benghazi, they will spend the next four years totally destroying her. Obama hates the Clintons. Theirs has been an alliance of necessity for the last four years but once the election is over, Obama does not need them any more.

He would love nothing better than to destroy Hillary and make certain she is not on the ballot in 2016.

The Republicans will hold Congressional inquiries but they will be nothing compared to what the Obama team will do to her.

The question is, will Hillary do what it takes to sink Obama?

... Hillary, old sister, daughter — free yourself from the bondage of this party you serve. They have throw you under the bus so many times — have you no pride ?? Walk away now, as I did in 2008 when they first threw you under. My Country is more important than my personal wants. Hillary “your” party left you a long while back — why can’t you and Bill ‘get that.’

With all due respect to Judson, he ignores the fact that the State Department
is responsible for Embassy security. And who is head of the the State Department? Hillary Clinton. The death of 4 Americans is HER FAILURE.

The lies and cover-up are a complete different issue. Hillary Clinton does not
need to be given a pass. She needs to be taken down politically, as well,
so that lying beast does not come back to haunt us in 2016.
Why is Bill fighting so hard to protect her now? Because she plans to run in
2016. Take her out NOW while we have the chance. And take Obama & Biden
down, as well.

Yup. I think this scenario is entirely possible. Bill Clinton resents the hell out of Obama taking what was ‘rightfully his’ - the Democrat party. He and Hillary had worked their entire scheming lives for it, and then along came this Usurper. I cannot see him/them possibly letting Obama dump his failures off on her. It would be the ultimate insult to wreck whatever reputation/legacy she has, not to mention any chance for 2016.

Obama is pretty much screwed, it seems to me. Either he contradicts Biden and comes off like a total idiot - or - he sticks it to Hillary and risks the Revenge of the Clintons.

For Bill at least, this is a tailor-made crisis. He can deliver payback to Obama and protect Hillary’s legacy in one shot. Ask yourself, which option does the most good for the Clintons?

The only good Democrats IMO are the ones whose address is a grassy knoll with headstones, and are already scrubbed from voter registration.

I personally can’t think of a reason to befriend any one of them for any reason. Let them at each other, and let them make themselves irrelevant, let them destroy each other without our involvement. We’d no matter what get the blame anyway.

Hillary will be gone as Sec. of State by November if Obama wins, and January if he loses.

There is nothing for her to gain by opposing Obama before the election. If Obama loses, she will be first in line to trash Obama’s reputation. If Obama wins, she will lay low for 1 year, then begin organizing her Presidential campaign

That's what he does. Ever since his father did it to his mother and to him.

The puppet masters who pull obama’s strings put the Clintons on the spot. With PUMA voters ready to stay at home Hillary was asked very publicly to be SOS. She was made an offer she couldn’t refuse. And I’m sure the Clintons have hated obama and company ever since. But, for some reason, they’re extremely afraid of that machine.

“OTOH, what could possibly have compelled them/her to kiss off a sure thing in getting the 08 nomination? And is that unknown still in play?”

I will always believe that the Clintons were prepared to give up the goods on Barry but he headed them off with the evidence of treason perpetrated by them and the ChiComs. The Clintons didn’t want adjoining cells in Leavenworth. Barry doesn’t like the idea of being found out for the massive fraud and foreign agency that he is. JMHO

Isn't it weird that Hillary is even considered for 2016?

Heck the MSM savaged Reagan for being "too old". Hillary will be 69 in 2016.

Why do you think Bill and Hillary are fighting to make sure she gets no blame?
BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO RUN IN 2016.
Take that lying Beast out politically as well. Send them all packing. Obama, Biden and especially the Beast.

There will be a few jabs thrown to make it look like they’re fighting, but they’re in this mess together. Someone on another post talked about offering Hillary a plea bargain. Not yet effective. We’re not at that stage, yet. The Democrats might offer Hillary or Obama or both a deal to save the Democrat party. Kennedy had fewer problems than these two when he went away.

Hillary and brack. She has proved to be a boob at her job having failed the mission of security utterly, and together they have so embraced the worst of America’s enemies until the stench is equally on both.

It’s just a rumor that Bill Clinton is enraged at brack, peddled by Ed Klein, when more probable Obama’s foreign policy is all Hillary Clinton, and he knows she is the one in charge of it because he wanted it that way. He was admittedly never that interested.

Now there’s trouble and all the principals are in a trap that MUST be shut down and dragged out, until Nov 6. Only one person can do it.

Hillary Clinton.

Hillary had $2.2 billion in “discretionary reprogrammable money.”

The embassy in Barbados had Marines on guard and the Consulate in Benghazi had the February 17th Martyrs Brigade -that was at Hillary Clinton’s descretion.

If I were BO, and thank God I’m not, I would really fear Hillary. This woman could put that Kenyan BC on the internet in mere seconds, causing a record breaking viral. And, she has access to the Hawaiian Records Office...she knows Nikita.

There is no honor among thieves.

Both Hillary and Obama have been lurching for the same prize. And, not just the White House, but primarily power over people. Take for example the fact that both of them wanted to tie everyone down with healthcare regulation. Hillary did not succeed in her first term as president. (Bill's first term was a two-fer, a "blue plate special" where they both shared power.) Obama succeeded in getting healthcare signed. The purpose for Obamacare is to control the American public. Medicine is the linchpin of marxism.

Hillary and Obama are like two cats locked in a room that hate each other's guts and are watching each other carefully waiting for the other to make the first move.

It's an attempt to divide blame in order to diffuse it. Hillary has to take the fall for pre-9/11 security lapses, and for the events of 9/11. Barack has to take the hit for the cover up, because he and his flunkies continued with the preposterous video story for nine days after it became clear it was a lie.

No complicated conspiracy stories are required: Bill and Hillary discovered to their very great shock that race trumps gender in their party. It trumps EVERYTHING in their party, because without a 90+% black vote, the Democrats cannot win any election with national implications. Think about what it means: a net 80% of 13% of the electorate. They START with a 10% advantage because of a nearly monolithic block of voters.

The downstream implication for Bill and Hill is: if they want any chance of winning the nomination in 2016, they must have 0bama's blessing, and that is why BJC ate a huge sh!t sandwich and gave a rousing endorsement of a man he despises at the convention. The Clintons know perfectly well from their own prior experience that four years is forever in American politics, and it will all be forgotten in the next primary season -- anyone still remember BJC was impeached AND disbarred? Nope.

So Hillary is going to suck up every bit of the blame. The best outcome for them is that Zero loses, but they can't under any circumstances make that public knowledge. The lawyering up by Bill is nothing more than a warning shot to 0bama that he'll only take so much. So far we have not seen commentary with deniability by the Clintons' usual loyalists. Lanny Davis, Paul Begala, and James Carville are quiet. That says Hillary is going to bend over and take it all.

When you see someone on CNN talking to Donna Brazile about whether she thinks Hillary can weather the storm, and run successfully in 2016, and Brazile suggests that some of the blame goes higher than the SoS, you'll know there's a split brewing. Brazile is the obvious person to draw first blood if the Clinton's decide to come out swinging. My bet: they won't, unless it's 100% clear that 0bama is going to lose.

I’ll tell you how she can keep the black vote - by telling the truth about Fast and Furious - Zero, who has no ‘black experience’ background or heritage, has sold out his fellow black man to the hispanic drug cartels who shoot down blacks in the urban streets on a daily basis. The reaction will be thunderous against him.
