is a long time and a lot can happen in Foreign and National Affairs. All the Republican Party has to do is start appealing to other people, instead of trying to be the White Party. I'm being frank too. Ever since they used the Southern Strategy, it has hurt them in the rest of the country. That is why many minority Americans (becoming majority) see the Republican Party as racist.


They have no other alternative but to vote for Democrats. President Obama beat Hillary Clinton, because she wasn't much different than the Republicans on some issues. Obama beat her over the head with that Iraq vote. Her husband also pushed for NAFTA, on the promise that corporations would do right by Labor Unions. He got Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans to push through his program by triangulation.

Bill Clinton also eliminated welfare programs, on the promise, business and corporations would hire and train people, including providing them decent waged jobs. That didn't happen either.

Hillary loss to Obama also because she and her supporters didn't think a Black person could win. A lot of old establishment Blacks believe that too. You know who defeated Hillary Clinton in favor of Obama. It was the Liberal Left. It wasn't the old establishment or Blue Dogs. It was Democrats disenchanted with them. That is what kept Ralph Nader out. Obama was a fresh face from the old establishment who wasn't much different from the Republicans.

The Liberal Left and young people came out in droves for Obama. Hillary hurt herself further among minorities when many of her supporters didn't think a Black person could win. He got endorsed by the biggest Liberal of all, Teddy Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy.

Hillary Clinton needs to move to the Left on Foreiign Policy. She seems to be OK on Domestic Policies and women's issues but it is her Warmongering. She ran in New York. Netanyahu loves her. Every New York politician, Democrat or Republican is Pro Israel. That is why she is a warmongerer. It was the same with her husband. The Policy needs to be Pro United States.

Obama chose her as SOS and he doubled down on the Pro Israel, Netanyahu Policy. It is the rightwing Likud Policy. The Left of what it was in Israel was neutralized after their top leader got assasinated by they extreme rightwing religious fanatics in Israel.

Likud was cheerleaders for the War in Iraq. Netanyahu is cheerleading for intervention in Syria. He is not going to attack Iran without the United States at Israel's side. Likud is using the United States and its military might to carry out what they want in the Middle East.

Just look at the actions of their bought and paid for puppets in congress. It was a New York Congressman, that introduced a Bill under George W. Bush which obligates the U.S. to go to War against Syria. That same Congressman who is a Democrat also introduced a resolution supporting Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel over Palestinian objections. The Palestinian want East Jerusalem as their capital. And by the way he is Jewish.

Everyone of the New York Politicians voted for the Iraq War. New York has a large Jewish population. That is why Hillary Clinton is a Warmongerer.
