Colonel Klebb Gets Booed in
There are several theories on political theory, but none actually suggest or mandate inflaming part of your potential constituency. Machiavelli taught that you should do nothing novel or new and just keep to known political mechanisms used by others. The mistakes by other political masters are also very valuable to analyze.
Anybody remember George McGovern and his $10,000 minimum income?? That was the end for this Marxist.
Let us look at what Hillary did, twice[1]:
Colonel Klebb[2] [a.k.a. Hillary Clinton, one of many reputed bed partners of Bill Clinton although the DNA evidence is not available] has chosen to stubbornly persist in supporting a political platform that is not popular, and patently odious, with about 70% of the populace.
She was asked the following:
________________________________________________
Round 1
“The senator was asked if she would "make a decision to give undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship" during her first 100 days in office. Clinton responded saying, "I have been favoring a plan to citizenship for years. I voted for it in the Senate, I have spoke out [sic] about it around Iowa and the country and in my campaign. And as president comprehensive immigration reform will be a high priority for me."
Soft booing could be heard from the audience.
________________________________________________
Round 2
The man repeated his question about the first 100 days. Clinton replied, "Well you've to get congress to pass the legislation and the president[sic] to do as much as possible, which I will do."
“Louder boos came from the crowd.”
This marks the beginning of the end for Hillary. She spent two years in silence after her phony socialized medicine was trashed and then toured the world several times to spread her phony concert for third world problems, paid others to work on her image, had books written for her and on and on and on. She was elected as a carpet bagger Senator in New York State and was not forced to answer any tough questions. The media [drive-by and other forms] did not push her.
Her lofty position was secure until she started slipping in the polls mainly based on her inability to stick to the truth. She is a known liar, has lied many times in the past, but that method, sanctioned by Machiavelli if it works, has cost her points in her first test before the voters. In the past, she and Billy the Bimbo Banger could waffle, flip flop and get away with it. Not in Iowa it seems.
We wonder if the Good Colonel watched Vinegar John Kerry[3] slither down the walls of the political latrines because of his flip-flopping. Perhaps.
We all know that the liberals cannot depend on more than 41% of the electorate and have to get votes from the independent party and some Republicans if possible. Kerry only added about 7 points to his solid base. Al Gore got about 9%, but lost 2% to the Green Party. In a nasty party race, Senator O’Bama, who has no credibility liabilities to date, has captured most of the standard planks of the party and differs little from Hillary. He actually supports driver’s licenses in New York, while Klebb’s flippity-floppers on that issue made her look like a fool.
Now she was caught in a vice where she cannot support driver’s licenses in her own state to avoid yet another flip flop, but can work if elected to the Oval Office to let illegal aliens vote, the absolute future of the leftist-dominated Democratic Party.
Her tax whoring does not help her in Iowa, but that is no problem for the far left who nothing else buy your money to spend on drugs, sloth, sodomy, abortion, and worse.
And, just what choice does she have? Can she offend her Marxists and illegal aliens who plan to vote for here in several key states and lie about her stance?? The left-liberal constituents are not very cognitively astute so they cannot accept a lie and a wink and support her anyway.
The other issue, which hurts Hillary, is the War on Terrorism. She needs the support of the Islamo-Fascists and other anti-Americans and some have threatened to abandon her on this issue.
Stuck between the two issues of illegal aliens and terrorism, she must somehow work out a way to grunt and grab 9-10 points and skirt the fact that she is a psychotic liar.
It will be interesting to watch her squirm out of this mess. A loss in Iowa makes her look very bad.
