The continuation of a Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty would badly damage our country. We don't need someone who is more beholden to special interests and corporations than to the people. &amp;nbsp;We don't need someone who only seeks power and control. We need someone Honest, and it isn't Hillary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She represents everything that is wrong with our country, and is the poster child for a generation that continues to screw things up for generations to come. &amp;nbsp;I very much look forward to the day when the baby boomers take a back seat in this country. &amp;nbsp;They can't let go of the hippy mentality. &amp;nbsp;They're always looking for some big cause to spearhead like Education, National Healthcare or Global Warming, &amp;nbsp;They just love spending our money and increasing the role of the federal government. Bigger government = Bigger tax loads = A weaker US Economy. &amp;nbsp;Where has our sense of fiscal responsibility gone?! &amp;nbsp;And the Republicans are just as bad!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight I sit here staring in complete amazement and dismay at the results of this NH primary. &amp;nbsp;We sit on the brink of major global changes in the coming century and a large portion of our nation continues to vote for the old powers that be. &amp;nbsp;Bravo!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don't know who I'll be voting for in the next presidential election, but if Hillary gets the nomination it will likely be whomever she is running against...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Her passion for America&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;I'M either going to cry from laughter or cry because its sad to think that people actually buy her ploys. &amp;nbsp;If she really cared about where America was heading she would step down. &amp;nbsp;Politicians serve only one master...their own ego.&lt;/p&gt;
</description><category>Blog: Stumper</category></item><item><title>re: What's Next: Hillary Clinton</title><link>http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/01/08/what-s-next-hillary-clinton.aspx#123347</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:41:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:123347</guid><dc:creator>johnpii</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;So, the “Live Free, or Die” state, the “fiercely independent” voters of NH, opts for the Socialist to take care of them? &amp;nbsp;Well, let’s see how independent you are when Hillary is controlling your every breath. &amp;nbsp;Or, maybe that’s “Live for Free, and then Die” as you wither away in that mile long line with your hand out waiting to receive your free health care, your free education, free food and shelter – everything is free, free, free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is it free you ask? &amp;nbsp;Because Hillary’s in charge and she cares about you, the American people. &amp;nbsp;More importantly, she’s for change and change is always good. &amp;nbsp;We love change. &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Because without change, things would, well, simply not change. &amp;nbsp;They would remain the same. &amp;nbsp;The old status quo -- and the status quo is bad because it’s absent of change and change is good for the people – for the American people. &amp;nbsp;And, she’s not just running on “the promise of change….. but 35 years of change.” &amp;nbsp;She’s “ running on having taken on the drug companies and the health insurance companies, taking on the oil companies.” &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why is she doing all of this? &amp;nbsp;Because she cares about the people – especially the American people. &amp;nbsp;Stalin cared about people, too. &amp;nbsp;Not the American people, of course, but his own people. &amp;nbsp;In fact, I believe he once said something along the lines of “our people are our most important asset.” &amp;nbsp; I believe F. A. Hayek may have written something about some of these lucky people in his book, The Road to Serfdom, but why should we care? &amp;nbsp;It’s an old book and he was a crazy man and, anyway, and now everything is going to be free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, no worries ever again, my friends, Hillary will be there for you. She will be your mommy and your nanny all rolled into one, and she will take care of you from your tiny cradle to your particle board casket six feet beneath that lush lawn. &amp;nbsp;And, best of all, she only asks two things of you. &amp;nbsp;Just be patient my little one while you stand quietly in line with your little hand out. &amp;nbsp;What line, you ask? &amp;nbsp;The line to see the doctor you will get with your free health care. &amp;nbsp;You know, one of the few remaining doctors who can still afford their malpractice insurance after Johnny Edwards sued the rest into oblivion. &amp;nbsp;Not to worry, though, Hillary will pick a good doctor for you. &amp;nbsp;But, I have my own doctor and health insurance already, you say. &amp;nbsp;Sorry, not allowed because Hillary gets to choose your doctor and I’m afraid that private health insurance is not an option under Hillarycare. &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Because Hillary knows what’s best for you and, more importantly, she cares about you and me. &amp;nbsp;And we know who the most important person in the world is, don’t we. &amp;nbsp;Yes, it’s ME. &amp;nbsp;What’s in it for ME? &amp;nbsp;What can Hillary give ME?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you’re standing in line counting all the free stuff you’ll be getting, you’ll also have plenty of time to ask yourself why many Canadians used to come to this country to receive medical care. &amp;nbsp;They have free health care and it is great – as long as you have enough time to wait for it. &amp;nbsp;If not, and your days are numbered, well, then you just simply die. &amp;nbsp;But dying is good because it reduces the number of people needing health care so the remaining people can now get it more quickly. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And drugs, they’ll be free, too, after we teach those mean old drug companies a lesson. &amp;nbsp;You know, those rip-off artists that spend a couple bucks on R&amp;amp;D, can’t even get drugs to market in a timely manner with a 100% guarantee there will be no side effects, and then turn around and want to charge you money for them. &amp;nbsp;Maybe we can put some price controls on them and that will teach them a lesson. &amp;nbsp;Then they’ll have the incentive to develop a whole bunch more newer drugs, rush them to market, and if they do harm anyone, Edwards will be arrive in his ambulance and sue them into oblivion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once we get all of the doctors and pharmaceutical companies out of the way, we’ll go after those nasty oil companies. &amp;nbsp;I mean with all the cheap oil coming in from that stupid “War for Oil”, there is absolutely no reason gas shouldn’t be free, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a bright side to all of this, though. &amp;nbsp;When the Clinton’s return to the White House, maybe they can bring back all that stuff they stole when they left seven years ago. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) They're presuming Hillary is socialist - free healthcare, blah blah blah&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) She's promising change *gasp* &amp;nbsp;How dare a politician do something like that!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) In paragraph three, caring = Stalin. &amp;nbsp;Who knew?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) You'll have to wait in line for healthcare and you'll get a doctor assigned to you under the Hillary plan. &amp;nbsp;-- Yes, I'm sure that's EXACTLY how it will be. &amp;nbsp;Hillary's plan has structured healthcare - you can't just go to the doctor because it's free. &amp;nbsp;You'll have annual limits and everything there after will need supplemental insurance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) I read that Canadians USED TO come to this country for health care. &amp;nbsp;So, if that's true, what stopped them? Did America's hat fix their health care system or did the US just lose its appeal?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6) Drugs will be price capped and free to the consumer, which will makes drug companies unable to fund R&amp;amp;D, which = imminent death to the consumer. &amp;nbsp;-- Riiiight...because they're so fiscally responsible as it is. &amp;nbsp;I've been behind the scenes at a pharm company and money is tossed around like a Republican fundraiser. &amp;nbsp;They'll shape up. Oh, as for the death part, I do believe no candidate plans on cutting the FDA, so I think we'll be okay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7) In paragraph 7, the writer finds his funny bone, albeit a sad attempt, joking about the lives of Americans who fought &amp;quot;The War for Oil&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Oh, that's right, it's not a war for oil so much as it's a war to establish democracy in Iran. &amp;nbsp;But that sounds a lot like oil I suppose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8) The Clinton's stole stuff from the White House when they left? &amp;nbsp;Okay, I don't know anything about that. &amp;nbsp;Call the police. &amp;nbsp;I mean, if that's for real, get it back - haha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9) Evidently, John Edwards likes to sue people according to the earlier post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My thoughts: &amp;nbsp;You can either choose Clinton based on your support for her, or for the fact that all other candidates are poorly unprepared. &amp;nbsp;No other candidate brings anything new to the table. &amp;nbsp;For you Obama supporters, do you realize that you're choosing someone whose political experience first started during the Kerry/Edwards campaign? &amp;nbsp;At even that, he's only a Senator. &amp;nbsp;To say yes to that is like saying your child should be a Nascar driver because he just got off the training wheels of his Schwinn. &amp;nbsp;Hmm, maybe I should've made a reference to Major League Baseball, given all of Obama's past drug use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...but I digress...&lt;/p&gt;
