Why I Would Never Vote for Hillary, Part II

I do not believe there should be a political litmus test for the right to do business in this country. It smacks of McCarthyism - but I guess the left only cares when the other side is doing it. (For those who missed it, many Democratic elected officials expressed a desire to deny Chick-Fil-A the right to do business based on the owner's expressed belief in traditional marriage.)

I oppose Obamacare, and any expansion of it. Not surprisingly, it is failing, with more and more insurance companies dropping out of the Obamacare market. The ACA resulted in many people losing their insurance, and no longer being able to see their same doctors. If the government did not waste so much money they might be able to afford a catastrophic care fund, leaving competition in the rest of the market.

I do not believe we should undo the economy of the USA (or the world) in order to lower global temperatures by one tenth of a degree - or even one whole degree.

I do not believe it is healthy for society when the Fourth Estate acts as the propagandist-in-chief for its left-wing agenda, instead of reporting the news, and challenging abuse of government power.

I do not believe in the tax and regulate mentality, which has resulted in eight consecutive years of low growth.

I do not believe the federal government, or state or local government for that matter, should dictate what kids are allowed to eat in school.

I do not believe it is the job of government to tell me what size soda I may buy. Or what type of light bulb I may buy.

I do not believe we should have given the Iranians a clear path towards obtaining nuclear weapons. They repeatedly express their desire to wipe Israel off the map, and destroy the United States.

I do not believe in political correctness. While I do not believe in unnecessarily insulting others, I also do not like being told what I may say or think.

I do not believe it is the job of government to redistribute wealth. Let me repeat: "If you want something, work for it."

I do not believe in any utopia, socialist or communist or otherwise. Utopias at best tend to enforce conformity (are we there already?) and at worst have resulted in millions of deaths.

But, maybe for some the policies of the candidates are less important than the personalities and records of the candidates. Hillary was a US Senator. According to National Review, her biggest accomplishment as Senator was getting a US courthouse renamed the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse.

But she was Secretary of State. She supported the "Arab Spring," resulting in the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt, and the coming to power of the Muslim Brotherhood. She supported the overthrow of Qaddafi, resulting in a failed state in Libya controlled by terrorist groups. And let's not forget Benghazi. She supported the "reset" with Russia, allowing Russia to seize the Crimea and eastern Ukraine. She supported the Iran nuke deal.

Hillary said that she and Bill left the White House in 2001 broke. In the last 15 years they have managed to become multi-millionaires, being paid exorbitant amounts to speak to Wall Street and foreign countries. Of course, all those people expect nothing in return for all the money paid to the Clintons. Just like the many contributors to the Clinton Foundation who did, in fact, get special treatment following their "donations."

But Hillary supports women. Like when she called Monica Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony toon." Or when she blamed the "vast right-wing conspiracy" for all the women sexually harassed by Bill. She even threatened "some folks are going to have a lot to answer for."

So, I do not support the policies of the Democratic party. But maybe you believe Hillary will deviate from those policies. I do not believe she is the shining example for women to emulate. But she is smart. All I can say to that is shame on you if you believe IQ is more important than good values - like honesty and integrity. Can I say that Trump has good values? Probably better than Hillary's. But I do not vote on that basis. These people are not saints. That is why I ignore these issues and vote based on policies.

  1. Hillary is the most vulgar talking lady to run for President, however due to the main stream media and foolish establishment Republicans, who stupidly attack Trump for everything and never attack Hillary for any of the despicable things she does and says, she is never attacked for all the laws she has broken, the lives that were lost in Benghasi, and especially the way she talked about all the women her husband sexually abused over 30 years to protect her throne. I do not give a damn about things Trump may have said 10 or 20 years ago. This future of this country is far more important than such trivial matters. It is a well-established fact that when Hillary was first lady she regularly used the F word to berate secret service agents and White House staff during fits of anger. The democrats all know this and simply do not care. They circle the wagons around her to protect her, including Obama, all his staff, the Attorney General, and lastly the FBI director. Where is the outrage about that from the cowardly, two-faced, backstabbing Republican Establishment? When the Republicans get their head out of their butts and realize that winning the Presidency is the most important objective to improve our country for everyone, not just liberals. I doubt very seriously the Republicans will ever circle the wagons around their candidate and defend him or her. They still behave like little children with all their petty grievances and separate agendas. God help our country. I will vote for Trump no matter what the democrats leak about him. Whatever is leaked about Trump, all of the republicans should come out and vigorous defend him and attack Hillary 24/7. That is how you win the Presidency! The democrats understand this very well!
    Sorry for the long narrative but I am so tired of hearing our side attack Trump and never go after Hillary. Something is very wrong in the Republican Party.
