For years, watching Hillary has been like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. As a conservative, I’ve never cared for her personally or politically. She comes off as a power-hungry, well….you know. After becoming a presidential candidate, she made a swing to the right, but I’m not buying it. My instincts tell me she’s probably not going to win in ‘08, but we’ll see. The 2000 election showed us that anything can happen.
So what if she DOES win? I’m sure it will seem like the end of the world to Republicans. The machine that spent 8 years digging and throwing dirt at Bill will be pulled out of the closet and dusted off. Stories of the she-devil will fly across the internet. God will probably punish America for our evil votes with a giant tidal wave on Manhattan.
I really never thought I’d say this, but Hillary in the White House would be okay by me. The reason for my change in attitude is: George W. Bush. Bush has set the bar so low as president that even Hillary Clinton, while not desirable, is acceptable to me. The Republicans who are running now may not be Bush, but the party itself has drifted far away from real conservatism. I know this isn’t a ringing endorsement of Hillary, but it’s a big change for me. Bush and his pigs-at-the-trough congress have sent enough of our money over to Iraq and bungled their way through the past 7 years. I’d rather shell out our money to our citizens in a bunch of social programs, than to be shipping huge blocks of cash over to Iraq to disappear into corrupt Iraqi officials pockets. I’m not in any way for income redistribution, but at least our money would be circulating in THIS country. And the Bush administration has been so power-hungry and controlling that Hillary’s not looking so bad anymore. Thanks Bush. See what you’ve done…
