You know - I was thinking just this morning . . It sure is absolutely uncanny how many lucky, (lucky for Hillary & Bill, that is) lucky breaks seem to fall into the liberal laps of those two yahoos. . and I’m certainly not saying that THEY do all the dirt necessary to accomplish their purposes by any means. It just seems like so many coincidences fall right in line paving her way back to the White House; almost like a weird sort of . . backward karma (whatever that is).

My thinking had to do with the untimely death of JFK, Jr. in the plane crash. It would seem to me that if he had wanted to run for the Senate from New York, there’s no way she could have won that seat, which she needed as a stepping stone to bigger things. Of course, I don’t even know whether or not JFK, Jr. was even interested in politics and may not have even been considering anything of the sort. It’s just another sad, serendipitous circumstance in the charmed “world is my oyster” life of the little Missus Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Found this little tidbit:
"One of the most terrifying features of the rejected HillaryCare proposal, through which the Clinton Administration attempted to seize the health care industry and nationalize 15 percent of our gross national product, was the section mandating the criminal prosecution of physicians for "bribery" and "fraud," which would have included the provision of health care services deemed "medically unnecessary" by federal officials. These enforcement provisions were intended to put the muscle of federal enforcement power at the service of the Clinton Administration’s philosophy of medical rationing.

As explained by Hillary Clinton in testimony to the Senate Finance Committee on September 30, 1994, the Administration’s socialized medicine plan would not deny treatment unless "it is not appropriate," meaning that in the view of government regulators, it "will not enhance or save the quality of life." What of doctors who took their Oath of Hippocrates seriously and sought to provide treatments not covered by the federal plan? Under HillaryCare, if doctors provided "unauthorized" treatment on a fee-for-service basis, they would have been subject to fines as large as $50,000, forfeiture of their property, and — in some cases — life imprisonment. When such horrific provisions received widespread publicity, the HillaryCare scheme was defeated — apparently. It is not widely understood that the Administration’s rejected plan to socialize health care merely amplified the statist trend presently undermining our health care system. That trend is best described as "corporate socialized medicine" — or, if one prefers, medical fascism.

Under the ethics of Hippocrates, physicians place the interest of the individual patient above that of the practitioner or society at large. But under corporate socialized medicine, or what is more commonly known as "managed competition," the physician is required to place cost considerations and the interest of third-party payers — such as insurance companies and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) — above the concerns of the patient. This leads to the adoption of what Swiss physician-philosopher Ernest Truffer calls the "veterinary ethic," in which the human patient is treated like a pet and provided with the type of medical care determined by the "master" — in this case, the person or corporation responsible for paying the medical bills.

Even without the enactment of Hillary Clinton’s ghastly socialized medicine program, America’s health care system is in serious danger of being shackled with the worst aspects of HillaryCare — rationing of health care and the criminalization of transitional medicine. For the first time in the history of American medicine, physicians are being coaxed or coerced — depending on the stubbornness of the practitioner — into rationing health care by restricting their patients’ access to specialists or to specialized treatments."

Socialized medicine will come at the behest of Corporate America, so they can “compete” with other countries. And it will be brought to you by BOTH parties.

They—the two of ‘em—are, arguably, the most overrated characters in history.

That's the thing I HATE the most about the Clintoons....They are so utterly shallow and completely unaccomplished, and yet the public buys their schtick and the second half is this close to another 8 years in the W.H.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Hillary destroys everything she touches. Just ask Vince Foster and the pile of dead bodies she and her nominal husband have left in their wake.

Hillary’s election as Prez would be “Nightmare on Main Street”.

The Democrats have in the past proposed extending the Federal Employees' Health Benefits program, which covers federal and postal workers, to all Americans. This is a back-door attempt to cover all Americans with National Health Insurance. It would dilute (wreck) the plan, and costs would surely rise. The FEHB isn't a perfect plan, it isn't as generous as many private plans, but it's better than the dirt-cheap plans that many employers force upon their employees.

Just so you all know what's coming down the pike.

So many have been so serendipitous for the Clintons - more Reverse Karma, I suppose (whatever that is). - She is sort of like “Dookeyfinger”. Everything she touches turns to . . well, if I have to explain it, which I do with most of my jokes. She touched Bill first of all, but, well then, that’s sort of like the chicken or the egg which came first?

It would just be so dern depressing if I didn’t trust in God to have the final word. In the meantime, might as well laugh to keep from crying. Here’s hoping that an indestructible Conservative hero comes riding in on a white stallion and touches HER with his ultra “Reaganfinger” and renders her invisible. Help us, God!
