In reply to the discussion: Hillary WILL NOT Lobby Against The TPP [View all]BeanMusical
(4,389 posts)148. "Who's side are you on, Hillary?"
Oh, she's on Hillary's side and nobody else's. She's not an idealist, she's an opportunist devoured by ambition determined to get her name in the History Books as The First Female President of The United States of America at all cost. If you're in the way between her and that goal she'll crush you (well, not you personally, more like a general you).
She would dump any cause that she pretends to care for if it could give her an advantage. Her fans might will read this as a proof that I'm a Hater but I honestly don't hate HRC. And what she'll do if she gets that post is giving me the creeps, she already has a lot of blood on her hands. Power corrupts and she's already corrupted so it's not going to get better.

I'm sure there will be "new information" she "discovers", to justify it though. nt

You need a lesson on rhetoric. "This section allows" Do you not see that "allows" is not binding?
