I read the following anecdote in a review by Jodi Kantor of a book about the Clinton marriage:
In the spring of 2008, I followed Hillary Clinton around North Carolina and Indiana as she mounted the last, nearly hopeless stand of her presidential campaign. In thawing fields and parks, huge crowds of women gathered to cheer her even though she was almost sure to lose.
When I asked them why they had come, many said a surprising name: Monica. They had watched Hillary Clinton endure a humiliating trial, then heal and thrive. Now she was about to be humiliated again, losing to a man with more charisma and less experience, and they would not let her go through that alone. <source>
A majority of women voted for Barack Obama, while a majority of men voted for Mitt Romney, and we can presume that a majority of women will champion Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.
The above story sheds light on the nature of Hillary’s appeal: women’s identification with her humiliation and victimization.
This is how we apparently elect presidents in today’s America, and is it any wonder that most of what made this country strong and powerful is now being systematically annihilated in favor of the passions seen in the feudal culture of Europe circa 1370.
How will each of us fare in the burgeoning patronage society? Are you well connected?
I have said time and time again since the Obama monstrosity 2008 election, that the people voting in this nation now are voting on celebrity status and not on the issues and how the candidate might address them. Romney should have won in a land slide but people voted because of skin color, wealth, race, and O’s divisiveness. They voted for hand outs over a hand up.
You are correct Hillary is popular because her husband is a scum. She stuck by the scum which in some peoples eyes took strength. She was victimized, but when presented with the chance she chose to do nothing and that is where I see her as weak. Hence her Secretary of state gig, again big talk underlined by weakness. She will always be weak as it is her nature. I don’t care about head bobs and nasty looks she is weak and was and remains well over her head. She is not a powerful role model, hell she watched some mothers children killed in Benghazi and how she did nothing absolutely nothing but help lead Americans down a pathway of lies. I hope the mothers of those fallen soldiers remember what little help she was in sorting the mess out. She was a blockade, plain and simple.
I have posted the images the FBI has provided of the two men they would like to talk to about the Boston Bombings here http://basharr.wordpress.com/
