Dissecting Hillary

Though painted as a liberal by her adversaries, Hillary Clinton advocates the death penalty, is personally opposed to abortion and believes homosexuality is not natural, says Gail Sheehy, author of a new book on the first lady.

Her conservative leanings date back to her days as a "Goldwater Girl," a group of young women who campaigned for right-wing presidential nominee and Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, said the bestselling author, who shared her thoughts on Clinton during a recent campus visit.

But things began to change for Hillary when she left her white, upperclass Chicago suburb for Wellesley College, Sheehy said. In a letter to a high school friend during this time, she wrote: "I'm a heart liberal, but a mind conservative."

"Hillary is a complex and fascinating woman," said Sheehy, who has followed the first lady since 1992. "She is easy to admire, but not easy to like."

Sheehy's compiled her observations of Clinton in her latest book "Hillary's Choice," published last fall. In her lecture, she described the first lady and New York senate candidate as a "compassionate misanthrope."

Clinton doesn't really like people, said Sheehy, but understands that she has to tone down that aspect of her personality in order to achieve her goals.

These traits may have been inherited from her parents, Sheehy said. Her father, who rose from the coal mines of Wales to become successful in America, taught his children that life is tough, emotion is a sign of weakness and you must compete and win.

When the young Hillary came home from school one day, crying because she had been hit by a bully, her mother told her "there is no room for cowards in this household. If she bothers you again, punch her back."

Not exactly a hit piece, but not all that flattering either.

:shrug:

Obama BEFORE he ran for the senate in 2004 gathered a crew together to give him all the information, fund raising ideas etc so that if he won the senate (and since he had no competition) he could start his run for the presidency.

Then AFTER we was a shoo in he hired more people to cover all the bases, help gather support and get the most people together to help him run for president....he didn't beat Hillary by much in starting his run for the presidency. But then THIS IS A TRUE STORY. Run in the Chicago Tribune. His home town newspaper.... BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH NOT SOME MANUFACTURED BUNCH OF SHIT.

:rofl::evilgrin::rofl:

Bitwit isn't afraid to enable her profile, She just dosn't have a clue how to do it.
Also, its clear that Bitwit hasn't figured out how to use "My DU" to find responses to her posts.
Punctuation also seems to have her wholly flummoxed.

I'm not sure why people around here are the way they are.
