If there was any doubt that Clinton hasn't learned a thing from alienating natural allies in the health care debacle, I hope this settles it.
As Newsweek reports, if Hillary gets the nomination, she will seek revenge from those that defected from her campaign.
Our tough-as-nails, ready from Day 1, even-tempered, emotionally stable, 3AM President on call, Hillary Clinton raging, resentful, revengeful, punishing, vindictive, spiteful, mean-spirited threatening defecting super delegates and members of Congress with political obliteration? Will she bake them cookies on their way out?
Why does this surprise anyone? Hillary Clinton hasn't changed her INNER CORE Values since the 1960's! She hasn't learned and grew: she strategized.....for 40 years....for this ONE Chance to be President.
NOTHING will stand in her way. She is absolutely convinced this is her DESTINY. And because Hell has no Fury like a Hillary scorned.

Iowa: A Victory for "Anybody but Hillary" !
Anyone reading the title of this blog can pretty quickly pick up the fact I don't like (and in-fact am terrified of) a Hillary Clinton Presidency.
So it was not without some trepidation I picked up my morning paper. First relief: Omaba had won (don't like his policies, but he's the best chance of beating Hillary on the Democrat side). And then came the icing on the cake: Hillary didn't win, she didn't even come in second. SHE CAME IN THIRD!
Of course the Clinton camp is doing everything they can, which isn't much, to downplay the loss. And they're back on message, if not a little harsher: “We can’t have false hopes,” Hillary told Reuters. “We’ve got to have a person who can walk into that Oval office on day one and start doing the hard work that it takes to deliver change.”
So now Obama is a "false hope". Gee Hillary, that's not a very nice thing to say. I thought we were running a positive campaign?
And notice how she dropped the words "deliver change" into her message. Now she's the policy wonk who knows the White House like the back of her hand, but can "deliver change". She's talking out of both sides of her mouth again....somethings never change.
And I'm still waiting to hear why exactly she thinks she can walk into the Oval Office on Day 1 and start work. Granted, she won't need a tour or have to ask where the bathrooms are. She also knows exactly where in the White House bedroom the congressionally "requested" papers which had been missing for years mysteriously just "showed up" one day?
Other than being a figure-head first lady with visions of Universal Health Care dancing through her head, how is she the only one ready for Day 1? John Edwards is a Senator too and has more experience in Congress than Hillary. Why can't he take a 5 minute tour and get down to work?
And what if the Bush people vandalized the White House the way the Clinton's did when they left...taking keys off of keyboards, disconnecting phones, etc. That would put a crimp in Day 1.
On the Republican side, a huge loss for Romney considering the time and money he spent in Iowa, a big win for Huckabee, who for some reason, seems capable to me of doing a Republican version of Howard Dean on himself and goodbye Rudy.
But to me, the big (and predictably way under-reported) story was that Ron Paul got 10% of the votes. In contrast, Rudy only got 3%. Thompson and McCain only received 13% or 3% more than Ron Paul. And aside from what he paid for, Paul received little if any media attention at all. Not a bad showing at all, considering. And while Fox is still banning Paul from their Presidential Debate, ABC news has just announced Paul will be included in theirs. Interesting.
New Hampshire is next and that will be a lot more telling than Iowa. They're an independent bunch up there (did you know New Hampshire has no State or Sales taxes?). And while Iowa was a caucus, New Hampshire will be the first true primary of 2008.
Will the Iowa results hold? Will Romney make a comeback? Will Hillary be able to come across as the policy wonk of change? We'll know in less than a week.
As to my preference, it is, as always, Anyone But Hillary in 2008!
Sincerely, Mr. Unloadingzone

Obama at the Apollo
But I'll worry about that in the general election. For the primary, right now it's between him and Hillary and you KNOW I'll vote for ANYONE but Hillary!
His speech was long on vision and short on specifics, but that was appropriate for the occasion. The video runs about 22 minutes long. If you want to see and hear him for yourself, click HERE.

Hillary, the Most Decisive, Indecisive Person on the Planet
Writing about Hillary can be so tiring. She is a caricature of a politician. She's famous for phrases like "I support the concept, but don't endorse it" I thought Bill Clinton was poll driven but Hillary takes the cake.
One the recent drivers licenses for illegal aliens in NY issue, she supported the "broad" concept of issuing these criminal invaders legitimate NY identification documents, but when the polls came back 70% opposed and NY Governor Spitzer's approval rating dropped to an all-time low, Hillary was suddenly "strongly opposed" to the issuing illegals drivers licenses.
With the exception of Universal Health care, which is a terrible idea that would bankrupt the nation and ruin our health care system, Hillary answers every single issue with an equivocal answer until the polls come in; then she takes a position.
She doesn't go as far as to say "It's because I'm a girl", but every time she is criticised by her opponents, it's never because of her stance on an issue: it's always "personal".
Last night in Los Vegas was no exception. As soon as Obama and Edwards began accusing her of flip-flopping and never taking a stand until the polls were in, Hillary struck back with charges of "personal attacks" and "talking out of the Republican playbook". Of course, when she accused Obama of not supporting Universal Health Care, leaving millions of children (she's big on dropping "children" into attacks), that wasn't personal at all.
This is a woman who says she's the only one qualified to "hit the ground running on day 1 of her Presidency". Really. She does know how to get to the Oval Office without any assistance. In fact, during Bill Clinton's Presidency, I often wondered when he was out of the country if she sneaked into the Oval Office, sat in his chair, and pretended she was President. I can see her conducting imaginary staff meetings and sit-downs with Heads of State.
Other than that, she was First Lady. She has no experience at being President and her so-called Senate experience has her flip-flopping or equivocating on so many issues, you only know two core beliefs she has: Universal Healthcare and that she should be President. That's it.
Hillary Clinton is a caricature of a politician. A joke. You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind to support her. Fifty percent of the American public said they would never vote for her under any circumstances. She's an obvious fraud who will say anything to any group at any time in an effort to get their votes. All this is documented and public. And she scares the death out of me.
Because with all this being said, she is the Democrat front runner at this point. With all the baggage, negative publicity, and an obvious lack of any qualifications whatsoever, she was able to waltz into New York, a liberal but cynical state, calming proclaim that she was now a New Yorker, and win a New York Senate seat. Wow.
All the scandals which had touched her personally: the cattle futures windfall, the missing documents which suddenly appeared in the White House bedroom, the mystery of Vince Foster, her secret Health Care commission....even where and how the Clinton's got the $5 million for the house in New York. All that didn't matter. It was all fresh in every one's mind then and she still won the Senate seat. Wow.
So until I see her lifeless head stuck on a pole and paraded through the streets by torchlight, I am unconvinced the demon is dead. Until someone else....ANYONE else, is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, I won't count her out, won't underestimate her or overestimate the voting acumen of the American public. Hillary has secret powers at her disposal. The witch is not dead.

Why Stop with Driver's Licenses for Illegals, Hillary?
What about auto insurance Hillary? Most illegals can't afford it, especially in your "home" state of New York. Should the state give them insurance too or do you "broadly support" allowing illegals to drive without insurance? You could just raise taxes on American Citizens to pay for it or allow the insurance companies to double their rates.
Why stop with Drivers Licenses, Hillary? Why not "broadly support" giving them passports too? And how about voter registration cards?
And this is supposed to be the smartest woman in America?????
What does "broadly support" mean, anyway? Does that mean that all illegal aliens should get drivers licenses or that she only supports the "concept" of illegals getting drivers licenses? What would "narrowly support" mean? Doesn't it all boil down to the same thing: Hillary Clinton Supports Giving Drivers Licenses to Illegal Aliens?
Why doesn't Hillary "broadly support" giving illegal aliens one-way plane fare back to their own countries? Why, in her 8 years in the Senate, has she never given more than lip service to fighting illegal immigration?
What Hillary Clinton is demonstrating is that she is an ivory-tower policy wonk totally out of touch with the American people. That doesn't bother HER, because, if elected President, it's what HILLARY WANTS, not what the American people want or even what's best for America.
She has a plan for this country and she's going to implement it regardless of what anyone thinks....that's if she can keep her foot out of her mouth long enough. And if the American people are patient enough to tolerate all her flip-flops, policy changes, do what I say, not what I do, and "lets stop all this election nonsense and just make me President, already!" attitude.
Hillary is still dangerous, but of late she is demonstrating she is not quite as bright as she thought when it comes to being "the Candidate". She's realizing that it was easier to pull Bill Clinton's strings than it is to be out front and center. It's really hard when the camera's are rolling and you get hit with tough questions, isn't it Hillary?
Now if only the Republicans can come up with a credible candidate to beat her (Ron Paul need not apply) and/or Mr. Obama can get his act together (that Saturday Night Live stunt was a good first step), then we could finally relegate Hillary to the Ted Kennedy Club. There she could spend the rest of her working life in the Senate, enjoy all the privileges that come with it, and basically be a non-factor for the rest of her life in our lives. We should be so lucky.

So Ron Paul got a mention on MSNBC. Yada, Yada, Yada
Ron Paul supporters are ecstatic that he actually got mentioned on MSNBC. I find the following quote ironic:
"Joe Trippi, a 25-year veteran of Iowa caucus politics who served as Howard Dean’s campaign manager in 2003 and who’s now a top aide to Edwards, said, “From what I see, Ron Paul is doing much better than his better-known opponents think he is doing. He is at that stage of the Dean campaign when all the other campaigns are laughing at him and have no idea of how strong he really is.”
We all remember how Howard Dean's run for the White House ended up. While I am confident that Dr. Paul is much more mentally stable than Howard Dean, I'm equally as confident that he will be, at best, a footnote to the 2008 Presidential Election, or at worst, the spoiler who siphons off enough conservative votes to put Hillary Clinton into the White House.
It's not the Dr. Paul's policy statements are necessarily wrong. They are just naive. He may say what a lot of people are thinking, but a lot of that is wishful thinking. I agree 100% with Dr. Paul on the income tax issue, for example. But in the real world of Washington, no Congress; Democrat or Republican, is going to support his plan. And since the President is not a dictator and Congress writes the laws, it's a no-starter. As for "the people" forcing their elected representatives to follow a Paul agenda, we can't even get Congress to enforce, let alone enhance, the existing laws on illegal immigration. And polls show a majority of the American public are anti-illegal immigration!
Most of Dr Paul's supporters are young, idealistic college students. And the truth is, as much as they rally and cheer, they just don't vote.
The rest of America has had it's idealism burned out of it by Bill Clinton and his scandals, Newt and his "revolution" that went no where, and the Republicans who demonstrated that, once in the majority, they are as corrupt morally, sexually, and as full of hot air as the Democrats ever were. We conservatives thought we had finally won in the 1990's and instead were left with dust in our mouths. And as weak a President as Bill Clinton was, George W. Bush has proven to be a loose cannon with policies impossible to justify; who, like the Captain of the Titanic, refuses to change course or even slow down.
The only thing that has mattered in Washington for the last 30 years was who had enough power to stack the courts with activist judges to their liking. These judges, especially the 5th Circuit, routinely make up there own laws and impose injunctions against laws passed by the will of the people. Again, illegal immigration is a prime example.
We, the over 40 crowd who do (or used to) vote are coming to grips with that and while Dr. Paul may be a pleasant fantasy for all of us, come election day, we're either going to stay home, vote against someone (like Hillary), or waste our vote on the "flavor of the day"; in this case, Dr. Paul so we can "feel better".
We're tired of trying to change an entrenched bureaucracy and political quid-pro-quo that has existed since.....probably the early 20th century. Something happens to idealists who go to Washington: they become politicians. Then it's all about the next election and the election after that. Career politicians. The desire overtakes all of them sooner or later.
Every 20 or 30 years, the people get riled up and make a lot of noise, but nothing changes except the people we elect: they become Politicians bent on becoming Career Politicians. And every so often, someone dangerous shows up. This time its Hillary Clinton. Stopping her is my only agenda, because in the end, Rudy or Fred or John or the whole list of Presidential want-to-be's will be no different than their predecessors.
The status quo marches on and America continues it's slide from greatness to 2nd-world status. We can bluster and yell and demand change, but the handwriting is already on the wall. China will be the premier Superpower of the 22nd century and America will be a balkanized, politically correct, low income parody of itself.
The dollar is sliding towards worthless against the Euro and even the Canadian dollar, oil will be over $100 a barrel any day now, and we're not drilling for more because it would upset the caribou in Alaska.
So kids, don't waste your time. Excel in school. Get your Masters and your PhD. Work to be in the future elite because the middle class is already collapsing and that just leaves being poor. Or do all the preceding and learn Mandarin Chinese so you can be an immigrant looking for a better life.

Now is NOT the time for Ron Paul
Ron Paul has some great ideas and positions. He might even make a good President someday. But idea's and policies are NOT what the 2008 Presidential Election is all about.
The Republicans controlled Congress through most of the last 13 years and the Presidency for the last 7. And what did we conservatives get in return? Sex scandals, forced resignations, bloated budgets, a botched after-"victory" policy in Iraq, bankruptcy "reform" favoring businesses over the individual. We got pork, and lots of it. We got higher taxes with more on the way. In short, we got business as usual in Washington.
The 2008 Presidential Election is not about ideas or philosophies. It's about one thing and one thing only: making sure Hillary Clinton is not the next President of the United States.
Only a handful of Presidents have really made a difference in the recent past. FDR with socialized security and maneuvering the US into WWII as a way to end the depression. Nixon went to China, who if they play their cards right, will be the reigning economic and political superpower of the 22nd century. Ronald Reagan did defeat the Soviet Union and is a personal hero of mine, but his 1986 Amnesty Bill gave hope to millions of Mexicans who have since invaded America and have caused the immigration mess which will ultimately drag us down to 2nd world status.
Bill Clinton did do one thing I am eternally grateful for: he directed the military to stop purposely distorting the signals from the civilian GPS satellites. I have no sense of direction and an accurate car navigation system is essential to my well-being.
George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter I rank as the two worst Presidents of the 20th century. But for all the damage they did and bad policy they executed, America survived. If Hillary Clinton is elected President, we may not be so lucky.
This next Presidential election is all about NOT electing Hillary Clinton President. Period. Since Ron Paul is not capable of beating her head to head, he can only serve as a spoiler, talking votes away from the Republican candidate. And that elects Hillary President.
I still have great hopes for Obama. If he can get his campaign in sync, he has a chance of beating Hillary in the primaries. Texas has open primaries, and for the first time in my life, I'll be voting in the Democrat primary for Obama. If he's selected as the Democrat candidate, then frankly I don't care who wins the general election anymore so go ahead and push Ron Paul.
But my biggest nightmare is a Clinton/Obama Democrat ticket. That will be REAL tough to overcome and Ron Paul will only make it harder.
Lets talk about Ron Paul for a moment. I'm an evangelical Christian and I could support him. I agree with most of his views. But I'm from Texas and I never even HEARD of this guy before Digg and other similar outlets started publicizing him. He has NO national name recognition and as I said earlier, this is not an election about ideas: it's an election to beat Hillary. She's a household name, has more Teflon coating her than Ronald Reagan could ever dream of having, has a huge and successful political machine and the mainstream media behind her. We also have an American public that is sick of George Bush, sickened by Republicans, and is "looking for a change". It doesn't matter what the change is, it's change time.
When Bill Clinton's 2nd term expired, Hillary basically left Washington, bought a multi-million dollar house in NY (with questionable funding), said "I am a New Yorker", and ran for Senator. All the Clinton scandals and dirt were still fresh in everyones minds. She had no experience as an elected official and NY is a powerful state. She shouldn't have had a chance.
The Republicans put up Rick Lazio, a staunch conservative, very popular in his congressional district, and the darling of NY talk radio. He was a life-long New Yorker and should have mopped the floor with a blatant carpet-bagger like Hillary Clinton. But he had no name recognition in Northern New York and Hillary out-debated him. The rest is history. Yesterday's Rick Lazio is today's Ron Paul.
Fortunately (I can't believe I'm using that word), the Democrats control Congress and public support for Congress is at a low too. The Republicans could actually pick up a few seats there.
But when it comes to the Presidency, lets get real: unless one of them implodes, the Republican nominee is going to be either Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney. Romney is better on policy but is a Mormon. That doesn't bother me even though I consider Mormons to be cultists, not Christians, any more than it bothered me that Joe Lieberman was Jewish. Or that JFK was Catholic. This is politics, not religion. I do draw the line at Scientologists, but other than that, religion is not going to be a factor in who I vote for. Unfortunately, that may not be the case for the critical evangelical Christians the Republicans need to win. Rudy's position on abortion is not a big help there either.
The last thing we need is another excuse for Christian and conservative voters to "protest" by staying home and that's Ron Paul. Voting sometimes means holding your nose and choosing the lesser of two evils. I did that that when I voted for Bush 43 because Al Gore and his wacky environment policies would have meant $5.00/gallon gas and all kinds of other invasive, restrictive, and America-hurting policies.
Ron Paul has no chance of beating Hillary Clinton head to head. God forbid he decides to run as a third-party candidate and become another Ross Perot, syphoning off Republican votes. It's still early in the campaign so let him run as hard as he likes, as long as its against Hillary and not against the other Republican contenders. In the end, if he's any kind of factor, let him come out strongly for whomever the Republicans do select as their candidate and campaign hard for them and against Hillary. He'll live to fight another day.
One day, Ron Paul could be a viable Presidential candidate, but not this time. The goal for 2008 is to prevent Hillary Clinton, who is a clear and present danger to the nation, from becoming our next President.
At this point, I think Rudy is more electable than Mitt, even though I disagree with Rudy on a number of issues. And he needs to tone down the "9/11 hero" thing: everyone KNOWS all about that already and he doesn't need to rub it in America's face at every opportunity to profit from it....it could backfire. Rudy also did an AMAZING job in transforming NY City from a dirty, crime-ridden, dark, Batman-like Gotham City into the beautiful place it is today: I know, I lived 25 minutes away, and you just didn't visit NY, especially at night, under his predecessor's time in office. I know the liberal spin says otherwise, but Rudy really turned the city around.
And if Rudy does implode, or Mitt Romney looks to be the best bet for beating Hillary, I'll vote for him. Because, as I said at the start, this election is not about policy, ideas or any of that. This election is about one thing and one thing only: Electing ANYONE but Hillary Clinton President of the United States.

HillaryCare is Back....So Whose Surprised?
The old adage "a leopard can't change it's spots" was no more evident when the "new and improved" Hillary Clinton re-introduction of what she calls "Universal Health Care". Do we really have to go back and rehash 1993's Health Care disaster, where even George Mitchell couldn't get any version of a Hillary-Care bill through a Democrat-controlled Senate?
Do we need to be reminded of the outrage of the American public and the Gingrich Revolution which toppled Democrats from Congressional control for the first time in recent history? Do we really need to see rebroadcasts of the "Harry and Louise" ads where a couple lamented their limited choices under Hillary's nationwide HMO plan? Detractors will say those ads say they were just propaganda, but they bespoke many valuable truths:
- People are different and so are their health care needs.
- Cookie-Cutter solutions don't work on 300,000,000+ people.
- The US Government has NEVER done anything better AND cheaper than the private sector.
- The US Government was NEVER DESIGNED to do anything better and cheaper than the private sector.
- The US Government is not a for-profit entity. Budget deficits don't mean we're not taxed enough, it means the Government has SPENT too much.
There are definitely problems with our health-care delivery today. But the MAJOR problem; Insurance Company red-tape and bureaucracy, will only be exasperated by a Government-run Health Care Program! If you've ever had a run-in with an insurance company and the aggravation that caused, compare it with a dust-up with the IRS, or the EPA, or any other Federal entity. The Government Bureaucracy has forgotten more than the insurance companies know about "red tape".
And then of course, there are the shining examples of Canada, Sweden, and Great Britain where citizens wait in pain for months to have a simple procedure performed. We take speed of health care for granted here. You need an MRI, within a few days you get an MRI. Conversely, in the before mentioned countries, you could wait 9 MONTHS! Even the humble X-ray which most doctors perform in their offices during your visit can take months abroad. Why? Socialized Government-run health care
Why is that foreign dignitaries and non-Americans of wealth come to the United States when faced with a major personal medical problem? Quality, plain and simple.
So what's wrong with health care in America today compared to the rest of the world? Nothing. So why the outcry? Why the high insurance premiums? Why the "rush and wait" at the doctor's office? Why the outcry?
Bureaucracy; both on the part of the insurance companies trying to deliver a service and still make a profit, by the Government, which constantly oversteps its role of watchdog to become policy dictator, by the Courts which have decided that doctors are not allowed to have human frailties and have driven the cost of malpractice insurance so high that doctors are abandoning specialties like OBY/GN because their risk is so high and by lawyers, who see medicine as a lottery waiting to be won. And of course, let's not forget the pharmaceutical industry which seems to make all it's profit on Americans and then sell the same drugs at a fraction of the price abroad. And lastly, by the American public themselves, which expect the best care available not understanding that an MRI machine costs millions of dollars that someone has to pay for.
That's what's wrong but not who to blame. Unlike the Government, which can spend more than it takes in through taxes and call it a deficit, the rest of America has to be able to cover it's costs and make profit in order to survive and invest in new research.
The PROBLEM is what Hillary is proposing as the SOLUTION: Bureaucracy!
The insurance companies and the doctors need to sit down as partners, not combatants, and eliminate the bureaucracy in a way fair to both sides while still providing world-class health care. Did you know the average doctor makes less than $125,000 a year; many a lot less.
If all the insurance companies simply agreed to use the same forms and diagnostic codes, tens of millions if not hundreds of millions could be saved. Standardization is not the same thing as Socialism, but that's something Hillary (and Karl Marx) never understood. You don't solve the problem of red-tape by creating a new and costly bureaucracy to manage it. You let the free market manage it like a business and sometimes (like the new mega-phone companies) it's OK to let competitors work together on a streamlined way of "universally" doing business. One thing I know for certain: the free market will always do it better and smarter because their corporate survival depends on it. "One-Size-Fits-All" Government-imposed solutions always fail because they are non-sustainable over time (i.e. Social Security). If the Government wants to kick in money (our money) let THEM fully pay for the health care all the illegal aliens receive in this country. After all, the Government mandated that hospitals treat them.
After the outcry in 1993, am I surprised Hillary is bringing back socialized (I'm sorry, UNIVERSAL) health care? Not at all. It's simply the first of a number of 1960's inspired "solutions" and social engineering programs she's championed her entire life.
Don't let her time and positions in the Senate fool you. The American people have a short memory and Hillary knows it. Everything she has done and said has been calculated towards winning a 2008 Presidential run. It means nothing. After all, even a socialist knows a leopard simply can't change it's spots.

Why Anyone But Hillary in 2008?
I started calling myself a Republican at probably the same age as Hillary Rodham decided she wanted to be the first woman President of the United States: age 13. If it wasn't for Hillary, Bill Clinton would have been a very successful real estate tycoon and still living in Arkansas.
But poor Bill was part of her plan to obtain the White House. She shoved him into politics, ignored his marital and moral failings, made him Governor of Arkansas and President of the United States.
I don't fault Bill Clinton. He seems like a real nice guy to be around....Bush 41 certainly thinks so. And Bill Clinton is very intelligent and an excellent conversationalist. I'll bet a dinner with Bill Clinton would be a lot of fun and mentally stimulating. But he didn't have the temperament or restraint for the Presidency. Not his fault. He was a tool to be used by Hillary and Hillary gets what she wants.
When his 2nd term was up, she dropped him like a hot potato, and in a stunning move that had carpet baggers around the world drooling with envy, walked into New York and became Senator. Wow. When she ran for her second term, she would not even commit to finishing it as 2008 was approaching.....and was re-elected. Her whole time in the Senate has been a craftily managed series of moves to the right, then to the left, then back to center. Every position calculated, not on the issue or what's best for America, but what was best for her 2008 Presidential run. A lot of us watched in amazement as she got away with it. We shouldn't have: remember the voters of New York.
So why is this blog called "Anyone But Hillary in 2008!"? Why not Rudy for President, or Fred for President? Why just anyone but Hillary?
I stated earlier that I had become a Republican at age 13. It was at the Republican convention in Miami that re-nominated Richard Nixon. Ronald Reagan is a personal hero of mine and will be in time remembered as one of our greatest Presidents. But we Republicans could never seem to take both the House and the Senate at the same time. Oh, if that could only happen, we could fix everything wrong in America and the world, I naively thought. And then Newt, the Contract with America, and we had achieved all I'd been waiting for........
Only to squander it in pork spending, sex scandals, poor leadership, inept management, and a current President who is more concerned with creating a permanent underclass of illegal Mexican immigrants than he is about a budget out of control. I no longer call myself a Republican. I'm not an Independent or a Libertarian either. I'm just an American who is watching his country slide into 2nd world status and feels helpless to do anything about it. According to the census bureau, Hispanics will comprise the majority racial group in the USA by 2060. The 22nd century will belong to the Chinese, the only thing keeping us relevant being the amount of nuclear weapons we possess.
But of this I am certain: Hillary Clinton is a danger to the United States, and while I'll be dead well before 2060, Hillary has the capability to destroy America in my lifetime.
I live in Texas and we have open primaries. For the first time in my life, I will vote in the Democratic Primary for whichever candidate has the best chance of beating Hillary. In the General election, if Hillary is the Democrat nominee, I will vote for whatever candidate the Republicans put up. If Hillary is not the nominee, I probably won't bother voting at all. Will it really matter who is President at that point?
And that's why I say ANYONE BUT HILLARY IN 2008! That's the ONLY thing that matters.

Hillary's Own Words Define Her
No one is better at defining Hillary Clinton and her core beliefs than Hillary Clinton. Certainly the Press has failed and the voting public in New York is on a mental holiday. Here is a small sample of statements Hillary made in the last few years which give insight into her adjenda:
6/29/04: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
9/2/05: "I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in (the) entire economy - that they are being watched."
5/29/07: "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, and for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."
6/4/07: "(We) can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."
6/4/07: "We have to build a political consensus, and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."
6/4/07: "I certainly think the free-market has failed."
What frightening statements coming from a woman who is hell-bent on becoming the next President of the United States.
Thanks to my friend Shelly for the above quotes. Know some good Hillary quotes yourself? Email them to me at TheUnloadingzone@gmail.com and I'll keep adding to the list.
