Hillary's Democracy

Its either a pay to play or by invitation only

The New Jersey Bon Jovi rally was pay to play to attend
The Balboa Speech on national defense was by invitation only.

Can't or won't get out of her bubble of her scripted, controlled campaign. But at least she doesn't have people protesting her inside that bubble like Sanders and Trump.


Can't wait to see the Nixon white house again. I get nostalgic sometimes for the good old days.

to draw comparison between Hillary and Nixon.
Not because I think she's necessarily more ethical, but because Nixon always struck me as a patsy. He's more like Scott Walker. Walker is, of course, as corrupt as they come and he's a piece of shit, but mainly, he's there to serve real power -the RW billionnaires.
Nixon wasn't a true insider like the Clintons. He didn't come from money, has served in a war, and he was cast aside in a very humiliating fashion over so-called Watergate, which, quite frankly, would be tantamount to one of several dozen Clinton scandals.

Prescott Bush that got him elected as a congressman then GHW Bush was appointed by Nixon as Chairman of the Republican National Committee

Bush and Clinton also go way back.

Also see Nixon's codeword for 'the cuban problem'' and JFK.

engaged in all kinds of shady business because he was a crook.
It just looks to me like they so conveniently got him out of power to cover up something big, is all.

sharing many of the same attributes be they negative or positive, which said years before this ABC news story was printed. But I see even more than this guy does on the ABC news story.


ABC news just today

Richard Nixon Biographer: Hillary Clinton Has 'Nixonian Attributes'


Warning this goes straight to video and the video is hard to shut off.
God I hate how some sites do that.
