Goodbye, Hillary…?
By admin | February 29, 2008
Lord knows I am not a political analyst, but I do like to observe things about the candidate, and have my opinions. I just haven’t learned to keep them to myself…J
Is it just me or did Hillary look a little defeated in the debate a few nights ago? She’s still swinging for sure and talking like big candidates do, but something in her demeanor looked as if has conceded. Perhaps it was her defensive remarks about always getting the first question, but it just seemed more of a body language thing to me. The remarks certainly didn’t help her, although she did have a point. The media loves Obama…he brings a certain charisma, a newness we haven’t seen in a long time. Hillary? Well, she’s been around for quite sometime and seems almost old school compared to Obama.
I almost felt sorry for her. She has had an interesting political career, and has won my respect a long time ago, even I do not agree with her on many issues. The right wing pundits have ensured she has instant name recognition as she was trashed back in her husband’s term almost as much as ol “Slick Willy” himself.
She was the ultimate evil liberal, roots in the 60’s generation, wild eyed bra burning woman’s libber who clung to her husband mainly for political reasons. Rush Limbaugh told us how theirs was a marriage of convenience…(ha, imagine that, Rush Limbaugh judging someone else’s marriage..LOL).
I have to say it was fun watching all these batty right wingers warning us of the dangers of “Hillarycare” and scaring us to death about the Canadian system which according to them, left people waiting months and months for critical care. It’s amazing what some people can come up with in an attempt to discredit. Who can forget her health care proposal? I thought the folks at Fox News heads’ were going to explode, just like the classic scene in “the Scanner.” Why if passed, we might as well take down the American Flag, throw out the Constitution and put the Communist Manifesto in its place. Socialized medicine, government bureaucracy, it was the end of
But gradually things changed. She was elected to Congress and now looked less the crazy hippie flower girl, and more the intelligent congress-lady she was. Michael Moore in his movie “Sicko” took her to task as being part of the
I shouldn’t make prediction, but I think the 2007 elections are over for Hillary. She’ll bow out gracefully, but she’ll be back. She’s been cast in so many roles…the wild eyed liberal, the socialist, the poor woman whose husband cheats on her, the smart sassy powerful woman that makes conservatives shake in their jack boots, and now the moderate Democrat who is way too establishment for a country wanting change. What will she be when she’s back? Who knows, but I somehow think she’ll be around a long time.
