Reply #32: Carville's right:: HRC is an attack dog, spoiling for a fight; aching to be a war president [View All]

A president spoiling for a fight, with her finger on the nuclear button, is the last thing that the United States, or the rest of humanity needs. Remember, HRC is the one who chose the designation "War Room" for campaigns and legislative initiatives. She thrives on aggression - has an addictive need to fight. Her health initiative failed because she drafted it in secret behind doors closed to the relevant House and Senate Chairpersons and committees. She presented it as a fait accompli, take it or leave it, my way or the highway. She wanted to get the ENTIRE credit for it for herself. Legislation doesn't work that way. The Senators and Reps need to be able to go back to their constituents and say, "Look what I've been working on and voted for." HRC has NEVER learned that basic kindergarden skill: "work and play well with others". She's already sabre rattling about the US providing a nuclear umbrella/military protection for the entire Middle East, as well as nuclear obliteration of an entire civilian population of Iran.

I have come to believe, particularly after reading her own autobiography, and those parts of Bernstein's book detailing her similarly hyper-agressive father, who bullied the hell out of his timid wife and constantly belittled any of his children's achievements, that HRC - who never stood up to her father (and similarly has never successfully stood up to her husband re his serial infidelities) has become progressively more agressive toward whomever and whatever is unfortunate enough to come within the crosshairs of her free-ranging fury.

It started when she went away to college and abandoned Daddy's GOP/Goldwater conservatism to become a student radical and, as the student speaker at her commencement, insult the guest speaker at her college commencement. For those of you who weren't around during the 60's protest movements - a lot of the anti-war fervor was fueled by adolescent rebellion/shouting "fuck you" at the establishment. Police were called Pigs. Google the Chelsea Clinton story from the Secret Service agents. While a teenager, Chelsea had some girl friends visiting her in the White House. Chelsea, in front of her Secret Service detail, referred to her Agents as "My personal trained pigs." When an agent later pointed out to Chelsea that these men and women would put their lives on the line to protect Chelsea, and that Chelsea's parents would be disappointed in Chelsea if they knew how she had demeaned her Secret Service agents, Chelsea replied: "I don't think so - that's what they call you too." Imagine that - in the NINETIES, 30 years AFTER HRC's student rebellion phase, she is still calling not just police, but the Clintons' own Secret Service detail "pigs". With every political failure, public humiliation, and bimbo(as she refers to the needy women her husband seduced) episode, her sublimated rage has grown. Rage does tend to feed on itself. She is only going to get worse.
