Questions Hillary supporters don’t want to ask
In Lincoln Chafee’s new book he tells how Dick Cheney laid out a shockingly divisive political agenda for the new Bush administration… A clashist approach on every issue, big and small, and any attempt at consensus would be a sign of weakness. We would seek confrontation on every front. …… The new administration would divide Americans into red and blue, and divide nations into those who stand with us or against us.
Hillary’s candidacy continues that divide. It plays right into the hands of the Republican party and their grand plan to continue dividing America. She is as polarizing a figure as possible. George Bush beat Al Gore, and even though Gore was running as the candidate who would continue peace and prosperity, he was colored by being a part of the drama of the Clinton years, Monica gate, all the other Bimbo’s gate, lying under oath, and getting impeached. The nation wanted change and healing. The Democrats have lost seats in congress every election after the Clintons came to power, including control of the House after Bill’s first term. That trend continued as they lost the Whitehouse. The Republicans don’t really care if Hillary wins, they know she won’t really change things, and that in
4 - 8 years they can regain control of the Whitehouse and continue their divisive politics that she will not change. How is it possible to take money and endorsements from Richard Mellon Scaiffe and Rupert Murdoch, along with more money from PAC and special interest groups then ny other candidate Republican or Democrat, and be considered an agent of change?
How can you challenge Fox News and demand a return to the fairness doctrine in the media when you are indebted to Rupert Murdoch?
How can you have a Healthcare plan that puts people first when you are indebted to the insurance companies?
How can you inspire people to greatness when you appeal to their fears?
How can you be an agent of change when you’re invested in what needs to be changed?
How can you challenge China on trade and human rights abuses when your economic policy plays right into their hands, and you have been on the board of directors of Wal Mart?
Hillary accuses Obama of being nothing but rhetoric, but look at her actions and think if this is the direction the country needs to go… the same way it’s been going.

7. Beat him to the door of the White House
Not beat him as in popular vote or number of electoral votes before the Supreme Court blew the whistle.

5. The Post trashed Obama in that supposed 'endorsement' because Post thinks Dems are STUPID
and can be manipulated into presenting their 'case' as the Post HIDES BEHIND the MASK of endorsement as they continue their trashing of Obama.

6. But did he grovel like she did?
Hillary groveled before Murdoch and Scaife to get endorsements. All the more shocking because these were the men who spent millions to torment her and her family during the '90s.
