As I consider the single greatest threat to the current levels of liberty and economic security of the citizens of the United States to be the election and inauguration of Hillary Rodham Clinton as President of the United States, I am therefore initiating this thread for the purpose of debate and monitoring of the unfolding circumstances which will ultimately determine whether this impending threat is realized or avoided.
I chose the analogy of the DOOMSDAY CLOCK as a useful tool for measuring the advances and retreats of this impending threat by means of inspiring and soliciting public debate on the perceived relevance of current events as they relate to HRC's obvious ambitions.
In my opinion, the events of this December 2002, have moved the "clock" from 20 minutes until 12 to 15 minutes to 12. These events are in order of importance, 1. The announcement of Al Gore not to seek the Presidency on Dec. 15 2. The reporting of a Dec. 21 CNN/Time Poll describing support for an HRC candidacy at 30% versus the announced and likely candidacies of Kerry and Lieberman at 13% each 3. The successful re-invigoration efforts of the Democratic Party's vitally important core constituency, black voters, as evidenced by the Lousiana Senate race victory and the resignation of Trent Lott.
The current setting of a quarter to 12 represents, in my opinion, the idea that less than a dozen new criteria would have to happen for the doomsday result to be realized. I would arbitrarily assert that future revelations concerning the economy, the war, and the current administration's legislative programs would move the clock a minute or two, whereas such things as an announcement of a candidacy or consideration of a potential candidacy, perhaps a separation from her husband, and the nomination itself in the summer of 2004 would move the clock as much as 5 minutes, in and of themselves.
I hope this thread will provide a useful, educational, and entertaining tool for those who believe vigilance is a necessary responsibility and obligation of those who seek the maintain and expand individual liberty.
All comments are welcome, let the debate, pontificating, and monitoring begin!
She might get Hawaii too, but that still won't get her over the hump. None of the swing states would swing her way.
I don't even think she could win a primary race against any relatively substantial democrat.
Smug.
Never happen!
As I was able to see upclose and firsthand, the previously thought implausible ascension of Bill Clinton to the Presidency, I see a very real possibility of circumstances conspiring to produce another and far more dangerous result.
I would go so far as to say that it was HRC's ambition that was the driving force that culminated in her husband's election.
Only time will truly tell. Many thanks for your comments.
And she couldn't ever possibly win the general election, even if the GOP ran Fidel Castro against her.
She's nothing now. She's a junior Senator from New York, where even they're beginning to hate her. Her late-90s-era FBI files become more useless by the day. And it was Bill who had the charisma; she just rode in on his testicles. Now that he's out of the picture, her personality alone couldn't even convince a burning man to stop drop and roll. She will never, EVER be president.
The Hillary Doomsday Clock is at 59 minutes to midnight, and is not going to move.
The smear of Trent Lott by Liberals and the Liberal media was horrific, and blown way out of proportion since his words were twisted to make him out to be a REPUBLICAN 'racist'. Look at what Hillary said just 2 short years ago or so.....
Hillary's own racial/ethnic slur !.....
BOOK CHARGES: HILLARY CALLED AIDE JEW BA**ARD DRUDGE REPORT
FRIDAY JULY 14, 2000 12:00:00 ET
**World Exclusive**
**Contains Graphic Description**
Hillary Clinton has angered Jewish voters in New York and nationally with her controversial support of a Palestinian State, and her startling embrace of Yasser Arafat s wife.
Questions remain, and the debate intensifies, as to whether she can win the crucial Jewish vote in New York as she wages a neck-and-neck battle with Congressman Rick Lazio, who has made the Jewish question a campaign issue.
Now, as the race comes down to the wire, a new book is set to explore the first lady s feelings about Jews and anti-Semitic sentiments held by certain Rodham family members.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060193921/drudgereport>Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer s new book STATE OF A UNION: INSIDE THE COMPLEX MARRIAGE OF BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON will not be released by HARPERCOLLINS until Tuesday, but the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal:
In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, "You fu**ing Jew ba**ard!"
My apologies for the language, even though I did ** it out. I had to show the blatant hypocrisy.
You didn't get that backwards?
