Apologists for Hillary Clinton I

Please spare me, people. Hilary Clinton is a neocon. And I'm sick of the quickly decomposing apologies that the loyalist trolls fling around for her.

Wake up and smell the rancid lies and the unabashed pursuit of power for the sake of power. Anyone honking Rupert Murdoch is "on the team." Anyone spoiling for war with Iran is on board. Anyone who doesn't fight to move our troops out of Iraqi cities where they are just targets for guerrilla trainees is "with us."

For that matter, anyone affiliated with the DLC is a neocon. But I digress.... that's a subject for another day. I start with the first stale apology that I'm sick of.

Apology #1: "She's under more scrutiny than anyone because she's a woman. She has to be careful about what she says."

Moron apologists, most of the presidential candidates are under intense scrutiny. Sometimes that happens when you run for freaking president! What the hell do you expect?! Barrack Obama isn't under scrutiny? McCain's not under heavy scrutiny? Mitt Romney hasn't been in news stories every other day? Where do you people live!?!?

You can use this same vacuous "logic" to prove dozens of similarly stupid suggestions. "Kucinich is saying things because he's not getting enough scrutiny." "Gravel isn't being careful about what he says because he's trying to get a lot of scrutiny." "Biden isn't getting enough scrutiny because he's balding." All of these things have no more logical connection than saying, "timm0's not getting enough press because someone ate a bag of M&Ms."

So just stop this inane illogic - you're killing me! Carl Bernstein's book, A Woman in Charge, covers HC's incessant trail covering and obfuscation since she and Billy started their political adventures. If even just half the allegations are true (and all current and recent public behavior sure tends to support them), she is a pathological power seeking worm.

Which brings me back to calling her a neocon as power for the powerful is a shared trait. I don't know what's worse... a neocon, or a neocon that hides itself behind a shield of their gender.

Here's a breath of fresh air from someone apparently not under intense scrutiny:

Rob, I agree Gravel is a breath of fresh air. Today, a politician who says what s/he means and isn't rehearsing lines is way too rare.
