Mar 2016

being afraid of Hillary. I have seen lots of people call her a liar. I've seen lots of posts listing lots of the things she's done over the years that raise my hackles. I've seen posts from people who claim to hate her with as much passion as the GOPukes do (I can't believe that one: lots of GOPukes really, really hate Hillary far more than any sane person can).

I, myself, do not trust her and in particular her insistence that Doctor Henry Kissinger is a legitimate source for diplomatic advice. If she wants to vacation with him that's fine but looking to him for any input as to how this nation should operate in the future literally should disqualify her in my view.

I refer to K as Cheney's Sith Master and I'm only partially joking.

So no, I'm not afraid of Hillary but I'm hoping that Sanders will remove any need for me to hold my nose and vote for her.
