Does anyone even blog anymore? I remember when it first got started and everyone was having a blog. I like writing, and I do a lot of it in my professional life, but not everything makes it onto this blog, which is where a lot of my personal thoughts come out. I put more into Facebook lately, too, because it's a little easier. But there's something to be said for this long-form writing exercise, and I think I will continue here periodically. You don't mind, do you? Well, in my last post I wrote about how difficult things were for me at the time. That changed in July when I finally got a job working for the State of Utah. I was the program manager for the moderate income housing database program, and that meant I worked from home a lot but also went in to Salt Lake when needed, mostly on the train. It was a good experience, for the most part, and I'm grateful for the things I learned even in the short time I was there. In October I started working for Weber County in t

So Bernie is a real danger to Hilary. He will be nimbler, more fun and more human in the debates. And he enthuses the young in a way Hillary doesn't. He could win Iowa, and I know he could win New Hampshire, too, where he will ensure that, instead of going off to destabilize the Republican primary, Granite State "independents" vote in the Democrat poll and play hell with Hillary's ability to manage turnout models. If Mrs Clinton's two down by South Carolina, Berniephobes will be begging any alternative (starting with Crazy Joe Biden) to jump in the race.
“It’s a horrifying true story of rape, intimidation, cover-up, drugs, greed and power.”
Stone coauthored the book with Robert Morrow, a political researcher and historian. Based on their research, the two show how Bill and Hillary left a trail of assault accusations, intimidation, and cover-ups against women and children.
The Clintons’ “systematically abuse women and others – sexually, physically, and psychologically – in their scramble for power and wealth,” says the book’s press release.
Hillary Clinton’s core agenda is a quest for power, even while she presents herself as champion of women’s issues, Stone says.
“If Hillary intends to build her campaign around an appeal to women, her campaign is built on quicksand,” said Stone. But “Hillary is a life-time abuser of women and her advocacy on women issues rings hollow,” he said.
The book includes details about Clinton’s alleged crimes in Arkansas, in the White House, during her term as Secretary of State, and at the Clinton Foundation, and concludes with revelations about Hillary’s current presidential campaign.
“She’s a life-long abuser of women. She denigrates, degrades and threatens those women who are unlucky enough to be the sexual assault victims of her husband, and that number, you know, is in the hundreds,” Stone said.
He explained the book focuses on 14 individual cases in which Hillary hired private detectives who “threatened and silenced” Bill’s victims.
Stone also said she is not the champion for children she portrays herself to be either. “We present the evidence that it was Hillary Clinton …who gave the order at Waco that killed 26 innocent children,” Stone told Breitbart News, which he argues in his book. “Janet Reno was only Attorney General for two weeks at the time that the U.S. government assaulted the … compound in Waco,” he said.
“We produce congressional evidence from both the Senate and the House that it was Hillary who gave the order to proceed,” he declared. “Twenty-six innocent children died in that assault, which was completely unnecessary.”
“Hillary’s hypocrisy is stunning ” Stone stated. “The key to defeating Hillary is to prove who she really is to women voters.”
But on further reflection, what makes me sad is how predictable it all is. She's denigrated because she's a woman, and this book denigrates her for not being woman enough... Why does her gender even matter? What does any of this have to do with whether or not she'll be an effective president? Much of what is written is terribly personal and exists between only her and her husband (and his alleged crimes)... I say alleged because if he was guilty of a crime, why hasn't he had the Bill Cosby treatment? I'm not saying he's not a womanizer, and I'm not saying he hasn't committed some crimes... But what you're saying he's guilty of? I don't know that anyone can know that... At least not in the court of public opinion...
The women voters I'm aware of vote on issues that are important to them. The key to defeating Hilary would be to show that she's not supportive of those issues, not that she's some sort of woman-hating enabler... Because if that were the case, women would be very hard pressed to find an able candidate at all.
You may not like her politics, but the straw man you are attacking is such an obvious logical fallacy that I'd think even you should be able to see through it. You can do better than that.
Bill's womanizing doesn't have anything to do with Hilary. That's the straw man. And yes, it's a very obvious and silly straw man.
If the books claims are true and substantiated by more than one dude complaining, then I'd be more interested. If they're true, why isn't she getting the Bill Cosby treatment? If they're true, why isn't she in jail?
And heh... I just had a conversation with a best-selling author. I could write a best-seller - just write a book and then buy 10 million copies of my own book... Best-seller is such a meaningless appellation...
At a later time I may discuss Hilary, at which time you may feel free to dig up any past history you'd like. In the mean time, please stick to the real topic.
Thanks, Anymouse!
