The Clinton Costco circus
Yahoo News ^ | 6-15-14 | Meredith Shiner

Somewhere in between the stacked boxes of laminate flooring and the discount pots and pans, it hit me: This Virginia Costco, where hundreds of people lined up half a mile from the Pentagon Saturday morning for the chance to meet Hillary Clinton, is the best symbol of the upcoming 2016 presidential election I’ve yet seen.

The throngs of people were officially there for Clinton to sign their discount copies of “Hard Choices,” the former Secretary of State’s book about her time in the Obama administration.

In reality, Clinton herself was the least visible part of the whole, circus-like event.

The average Costco patron couldn’t even sneak a glimpse of her, as her book signing took place behind a giant fortress of water bottles and paper towel rolls, built by Costco employees using forklifts in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

All that traveled over that bulk-product brick wall was the occasional laugh — was it Clinton’s? Or someone else’s? It was hard to know for sure — and the sound of clicking press cameras. Clinton fans weren’t allowed to bring theirs past the security checkpoint.

I saw a news report of Hillary getting out of a vehicle and walking to a door, and I’m telling you, her head looked big enough to be in a carnival in South America. Something’s wrong with her.

What we need is another POTUS who really, really cares
for the 99% and can address issues important to women.

C. women who have sex with other women ?

D. women who used to be a man ?

E. women who are confused and ‘questioning’ ?

Hillary at a costco. I love Costco. I often go in to just wander around.

I cannot imagine Hillary going into a costco at any time for anything.

Being there must have nearly killed her. Being around normal people who appreciate a jumbo package of shampoo must have been torture for her.

half mile from the Pentagon Obviously this was beltway country.

Where the men all wear 1000 dollar suits and the ladies have $400 dresses, shoes, and handbags.

Where a small segment of our society is prospering massively feeding off the carcass of the American taxpayer.

I’ve heard some commentators say Hillary will get overwhelming support from women voters across the board, due to wanting to elect a woman president.

I find it hard to believe that conservative women would support a hard liberal candidate such as Hillary, just because she is a woman

Conservative women will not vote for Clinton. However there are many more stupid women than there are conservative women and stupid women will vote for Clinton.

Yeah, there are those huge chocolate cakes. You know, the 3000 cal per piece ones. You know she straps on a gallon of ice cream and goes after that cake with a big spoon.

I would love to see your dog take a whizz on her book. Maybe even miss and hit one of her kankles.

Adding magic to the fairy tale, Wise Latina Justice Sonia Sotomayor just happened to be shopping in Costco the day of Hillary's book signing.

The probability of a coincidental meeting approaches numbers too small to calculate.

You know.....REAL women. Those women who demand equal pay
except when it applies to those women who work for Obama...
and, those who believe that a fetus constitutes a “health
issue”...and, those women who believe in government
sponsored day care and contraception...and, those who
believe that men and women sharing a foxhole on the battle-
field is a good thing......REAL WOMEN!
