Grumpa Joe's Place

I’ve deliberately refrained from voicing my opinions about Hillary Clinton’s run for president because I don’t think what I say matters much to anyone. I tried my damnedest to derail Obama and 99% of what I wrote has come to pass. It didn’t matter. The people of America are in love with socialism, political correctness, and divisiveness. They accept it no matter what the cost to their freedom. Too many Americans have become wimps and want a nanny state.

A friend reminded me of some facts about Hillary which I had forgotten. President Bill Clinton so loved his wife that he gave her voluminous opportunity to show us how presidential she is. I didn’t remember all the facts, but I do remember the fight for Hillary Care. Thankfully, it was rejected by a Democratic house. In 2009, Obama put his name on her plan, and America swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Now we are stuck with Obama Care.

I wonder how Bill would answer that?

Here are the facts:
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after [her] threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.

Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in deaths of dozens of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger voters will have no knowledge of “Travelgate”. Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – but the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House. Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:

She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.

She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.

Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for ‘lying under oath’ to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.

Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall”, “I have no recollection”, and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.

After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell party – ready for another four, or eight, years of this type of low-life mess?

Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State, and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal [low-information] fans – “What difference does it make…?”

Finally, I can only say, Hillary doesn’t need my help to lose the election, she will do it all by herself. This morning I scrolled Facebook and found some responses to a conservative meme. The obnoxious comments were from very liberal democrats who projected the impression that democrats will vote for Hillary even if she is convicted of selling her baby grand daughter to human traffickers.
