The Fix Is In, by Robert Gore

Her scandals, libidinous husband, vicious attacks on his female victims, political ineptitude, lack of substantive accomplishment, Benghazi and Libya, emails and all the rest are now...irrelevant. Relevant: her strong ties to Wall Street and most importantly, that she’s never met a US foreign intervention she didn’t like (as a senator she voted for the Iraq invasion). She’s John McCain in drag. Being a supporter of intervention naturally entails support of big defense and intelligence budgets, continuing expansion of the national security state, and continuing erosion of what remains of individual liberty. She ticks all the right boxes for the Republican establishment, and now they’re in her corner.

This is an excerpt. For the full article, please click the link above.

    Hello straightlinelogic,
    'Today’s Journal headline, especially its placement on the front page, serves as announcement that if renegade Republicans go off the reservation and select apostate Trump, the establishment will line up for reliable interventionist Hillary Clinton.'
    Depressing... Sounds like pure cronyism at work. Absolutely without principles or scruples.

    There have been MSM reports the last few days that the GOP establishment is set to attack Trump because of the threat to their orthodoxy. The problem is not Trump, per se, it is any threat to their perceived power.

    One of the greatest threats to this nation is the entitlement mentality, regardless of status or party affiliation, from pauper to potentate. .

    Regards,
    O.A.

    If elected, Hillary will follow in the footsteps of JFK in one way. She will not survive to run for re-election. Therefore, VP may be a very important position in this case.

        "Do you think she is ill?" There are rumors that she is. Even if she died, her stupid followers would vote for her anyway....hoping in a resurrection.

          I kind of think she is, I don't buy the whole 'banged my head' thing when she was supposed to testify to Congress and was supposedly to damaged to leave the house for 4 months. I think she may have had a meltdown.

            We might hope that the Benghazi 'interviews' will push her over the edge, but hell, she's probably well past 'the edge' already... so what'll change?

            And I can't understand why people get so worked up over stuff that appears in the WSJ, anyway! That's like mental masturbation.

            So is extrapolating current events into future scenarios and then getting upset over what those futures might bring....

            Sheer Madness!

    Of course the fix is in. That's been a given for years. Clinton doesn't think that she needs an election...just a coronation. And I'll say it again, there is the ruling elite and the rest of us. The elite determines the candidates.

    "By next November, she will be Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Mother Theresa, and Susan B. Anthony all rolled into one." Well said, SSL and another excellent post, too. I figure by June the liberal MSM will be poised to say "Ben Gazzi?, Who is Ben Gazzi? There is no evidence that HRC knows or has ever known a Ben Gazzi". "Furthermore, the E-male virus doesn't exist. Therefore, HRC is not currently or has ever been afflicted with E-male". Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

    She has no integrity. She is a blatant liar. She is a vicious adversary regardless of the immorality she is involved in. She exudes an aura of unlikability and has demonstrated incompetence in everything she has attempted, and as a result, has failed repeatedly. Besides that, I guess she's OK.
    The Dems will defend her even though what she does and has done is indefensible. They will attempt to cover her indiscretions, and outright crimes by obfuscation and lies. They will present a united front in order to prove that all accusations are merely political posturing.. Perhaps low information voters will buy it. Hopefully there aren't too many of them.

    Who are the establishment people masterminding this? Do you think they have informal meetings:
    "How about you have Fox... no, actually why don't you ask the editor at WSJ to write a headline telegraphing where this populist shit leads."
    "Yes. I'm on the board of your company. I want to see it win. But I can't go asking him to publish propaganda to prop up your aerospace and construction businesses."
    "No, of course not. I'm just saying factual reporting on how Hilary isn't affected by populism in the Democratic party. People can read between the line as to what that means for Republican populism. Either way, all of us here agree our products keep the world safe, and that's priceless. We must not loose control of the narrative."

    I thought for sure that Mr. Prosecutor would nail Clinton's hide to the Congressional Door. They were too nice to her. If I had a seat on that committee calling her out for what she is "an accomplice to murder". She is a demon in disguise. Her imperious attitude showed Clinton as a stone cold operator. Or maybe she is a space alien? What ever she maybe is not human. If there is a Hell she belongs there. Wait a minute could she one of Lucifer Morningstar's wench henchman and this is the start of the Apocalypse?

    My sister sent, in an email to me, that 'we should vote for Hillary' because "she is the only strong woman candidate". I reacted rather strongly to this, as you may imagine.

    I am submitting this because is shows what meme is being passed around about Hillary and how it is being generally accepted by people.

    Almost perfect. the Republicans joined the Democrats and became left wing fascist socialist so if she has any support it's from Rinos or neo-cons. True they are the republican establishment. Which means they are not pure leftist. in favor of government over citizens as are all but one Democrat ...so far.

    Unless Trump somehow wins after being attacked by nearly everyone, we are going to be stuck with Hillary. She will take us not only along Sanders' lines, but also crony capitalism lines. The worst of all worlds. If Trump doesnt win, I am pretty much done with expecting the USA will stop its decline. Its time to shrug

    Expect Clinton to name Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as her VP candidate, in a blatant pander to the Hispanic community. The mayor is a dutiful stooge, and so no threat from his own visions of power. His drawn out, very public decision making not to run against Jerry Brown for governor of California was very purposeful, showing him ready to accede to the wishes of the party.

    The fact that Villaraigosa has no credible experience to qualify him for the position won't matter, as he's only there as a symbol to draw the Hispanic vote. He's much safer for Clinton than Elizabeth Warren, and the party won't entertain Bernie Sanders in that position due to his age and the fact he's more popular than Clinton.

    i agree with the comment..."we have been on the slide for some time now..."...the slide is into fascism but on a world-wide basis...people like Obama & Hillary want to rule it all...and, unfortunately, the voting majority are willing to elect such filth as long as they are promised another handout...individuals like you and me are then forced to exist in such a world...how do find freedom in an unfree world...

    You are making a strong assumption that the Democrats will win...

    Quite frankly, given the majorities in both houses of Congress, and the absolute vile revulsion of the tax increases under Obama (and how the IRS has implemented those ordered-increases), I just don't see it likely we'll have another liberal president. If you look at history, we dust them off every few years, and the youngsters think they have discovered some new-fangled thing called 'progressivism'. Then they see what that means, they get jobs, they pay taxes, and they are poorer than they were as starving college students.

    The economy, 8 years on, hasn't recovered... home values for the most part are still pre-recession, incomes have been absolutely stagnant and 'real income' after the levels of inflation have been really zero or less than zero growth. Every other recession, we cut taxes, and we came out of it stronger than we were before a year or two later. This one, we "increased" taxes, we massively increased spending, and the only jobs are govie tit-suckling jobs while implementing ruinous levels of regulation on private enterprise and took what was basically the first step to nationalizing 15% of the economy (healthcare).

    If Obama hadn't tweaked the energy policy to level out gas prices, and it was sitting at the $5.00 a gallon that Moniz was creaming his jeans with excitement over, we wouldn't even be pondering the possibility of a Hillary win. The reality is, the Republicans are pretty fired up to win and are already heavily-organized. Bernie (a socialist/communist) is making a heavy dent in Hillary and probably has the money to fight it out with her for a long/protracted battle.

    The nominee if current trends continue will probably be Dr. Carson... and his ethics/integrity/faith are unquestionable compared to Hillary's history of bimbo eruptions, suspicious deaths and suicides in the Clinton circles, the "machine" aspect of the Clinton family, the pants suits, the terrible record as Secretary of State, and I'm absolutely sure the reason for the private email was to coordinate donors to the Clinton Global Initiative that were suspiciously tied to favors/agreements/trips as Secretary of State.

    If he is accurate and I believe that we do have a corrupt political system and she wins then we will have gone from the frying pan (with 0) into the fire.
    It is amazing to me that all of these people who have prospered even if via payoffs that they still want to destroy the country.

    excellent summation of the current situation...republicans & democrats are opposite sides of the same counterfeit political coin which we are forced to swallow...only remaining question is how much time we have before we slide into the totalitarian democracy..tyranny of the majority...

      GOOD QUESTION !! I suspect its longer than we think. One must never underestimate the power of government to stretch things out so long as the productive keep on working.

      from all of my reading of Ayn Rand's writing I believe we have been on the slide for some number of years now and I do not see how we can stop it until of course we hit rock bottom and that is probably closer than we know.
      Reply | Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink  
      • Posted by term2 9 years, 3 months ago
        Rock bottom is a long way off really. There are years of more and more government regulation and oppression (take a look at how long it took in Venezuela, the their leader is still ALIVE (amazing)).

        Even Rand predicted it would be a long slide downhill for the USA. As a people, we are resilient and keep supporting the state that is killing us by working harder and harder.

        I am about done with all this. Getting very close to the time to withdraw and shrug.
