It was cachet ? to be on Nixon's enemies list. What is it to be on Hillarys.

Every time I hear a discussion of the "war among the Republicans" I wonder how did people develop amnesia so quickly about the intra-Democratic bitterness that the 2008 election brought out.

The ideological schism that brought Obama to power in 2008 (essentially the Left wing of the Party vs the Clinton Machine -- the "centrists") is still alive and well in the Democratic Party.

I read The New Republic for 22 years. TNR didn't hate the Republicans. TNR hated the progressives over at The Nation.

Somewhat uninteresting, even somewhat bland.

Now the same story from the view of the Obama camp, that would be more than fascinating: the racial arm bending, the spoils system, the inventive financing, the entry of the Chicago gang, the courting of Goldman Sachs (see spoils system), the muzzling of the few journalists actually interested in fleshing out this cipher Obama. And so on.

Story won't be written.

I suppose it's naive to ask, but other than having achieved First Lady status by way of marriage, what has Hillary Clinton ever done, ever accomplished to recommend her to us as president? I understand that as a Democrat she will offer the FSA the opportunity to continue to wallow at the trough, so she'll get the taker vote. And I understand that as a woman she'll offer millions of women a historic identity tingle when they cast their ballot. And that'll probably do it. She'll be president. But what exactly has she ever done? Accomplishmentwise?

This is like the split between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks--or the Communists (International socialists) and the Nazis (National socialists)

She toed the party line when it counted. Now heretics will be punished. Vengeance 2016. Yay.

Every time I hear a prog proudly announcing about how unified the Dems are I just have to wonder if they know how stupid they sound or if they know and just don't care so long as political power retained. The Precioussssssss. All the truly intellectual action is over on the right.

Accomplishments???!?!?!!!?

That's her accomplishments!

"It was cachet ? to be on Nixon's enemies list. What is it to be on Hillarys."

It means you chose correctly in 2008 but not in 2016. Because every truth is relative if you're a progressive. If you have not personally profited by now due to your 2008 choice, time's a wastin'

I think if you were on Nixon's enemies list then you counted as a force to be reckoned with. If you're on Hillary's enemies list basically you're a pathetic tool.

Authoritarian power hunger.
Hillary Hype. It has electrolytes.

Back when Hillary ran for Senator the first time she marched in some big NYC parade. A local Baltimore HS band was invited to perform and a colleague went along as chaperone as his daughter played clarinet. One of our co-workers had been loud and constant in his Hillary Hate, so when a fellow ambled along with a stack of the opponent's posters my pal grabbed one to take back to the office. Not a big fan of Hillary himself, he held the poster in front of him there at the parade. About the time Mrs. Clinton walked by with her entourage, the poster spreading guy yelled an obscenity and then disappeared into the crowd. Men immediately ran over to my colleague and began taking pictures of him and giving him the evil eye. I always figured they were her henchmen, out to intimidate anyone against her. For surely the secret service is more competent at watching the crowd and identifying real threats.

what has Hillary Clinton ever done, ever accomplished?

She mismanaged the state department and got an ambassador killed.

Indeed. 4 dead and one of our embassies burned to the ground.

But when it's a democrat in charge of disaster in ineptitude, hey - what difference does it make?

Harvey Weinstein has a candidate to pimp.

If you think it's so easy being married to Bill Clinton, you try it........I saw a bit of that Netflix series, House of Cards. The wife, Robin Wright, is married to a philanderer. It doesn't interfere with their marriage. She's not in love with him. She's in love with his power........When Napleon was just another hotshot general in the Revolution, Josephine openly cheated on him. After he became Emperor, she never strayed--not even after he divorced her for dynastic reasons.......Men may sometimes place too high a valence on a pair of perky tits, but that's nothing compared to the pretzels a woman will twist herself into in the presence of a power hitter.......Now that we know Teddy Kennedy was on her enemies' list, shouldn't we exhume the body and do an autopsy just in case.
