Yo Hiillary, You Ain’t "Winning" Now

Recently in a debate Hillary was asked about the increasing pressure her opponents were applying. That’s to be expected, she said, because "I’m winning." Not leading. But winning. Really?

Not one vote has been cast. Not one caucus convened. But, somehow, magically, Hillary proclaims to be winning. You don’t have to be Freud to recognize a textbook example of wish fulfillment when you see it.

The lack of clear differentiation in this case is no mere trifle. It illustrates a fervent sense of personal ambition for power and the concomitant penchant for projection. The game hasn’t formally begun but with her Drill Instructor comportment she’s going to claim she’s winning, knowing that in the minds of her Kool Aid drinking followers, as well as her media lap dogs, that such a proclamation appears "Presidential." And that’s been the main problem with this campaign so far: It’s concentrated far more on appearance than actuality. And it’s one more reason the media is rapidly losing credibility.

In fact, if the researches who have assiduously detailed the falsities in the statements of candidates in the past have been doing their job, her insistence of having 35 years of experience would be shown as being patently false. Pressed recently on what that included, she listed her trips overseas as a student and wife, not as someone with an official post responsible for doing, well, for want of a better word, real work. Let’s say for the sake of argument that you buy the fact that she does have 35 years of experience. What did it produce? What accomplishments have been made? What momentous bills were written? Where is there any evidence of true leadership? But now, presto, she’s going to "change" America for the better? You believe that one then there’s a guy in Brooklyn with a bridge for sale you should see.

Her supporters, having felt the heat from sharper, justifiable attacks, have claimed that the "old boys" were piling on. Poor Hillary. If it were true, and it’s not, then she would be getting a dose of her own medicine. She’s been piling on Bush, attacking him mercilessly as a scapegoat, basically, for policies that she originally supported, and still supports, such as the immoral "War on Terror." Hillary, your husband was a gifted, cunning politician who for most of his career was able to have it both ways. You don’t have that talent. And just because you’re "married" to him doesn’t entitle you to the same privileges. That’s becoming increasing obvious.

Yep, Americans are waking up and smelling the snake oil. And they’re sick of it. They’re sick of Hillary’s Virtual Reality in which she acts like a Neocon behind closed doors and then blasts them in public. They’re tired of politicians who Focus-Group each issue before formulating a policy or making a statement. They want at least the appearance of true leadership, and Hillary, on this count, is lost in the headlights. They don’t want idle promises coupled to a legacy of political inactivity and incompetence. They do want change, as Hillary’s pollsters have repeatedly told her, but not the superficial kind that her record demonstrates.
And most of all, as a recent Zogby poll indicates, they’re looking for fresh, new ideas, not the same old magic show Bill and Hillary are now touring the country with.

The one boost that has infused Hillary with that infamous grin and heady arrogance has been the notion that she would soundly beat all the Republican candidates. That, she translated, as "winning." Well, either the pollsters actually contacted real Americans instead of Martians, or the country’s mood has shifted, but that claim is no longer true. Consequently, Hillary if left in rough seas without a lifesaver. As it turns out, she can’t win against any of them. It’s about time. See:

In a few years, as the newsreels are played back and Americans quickly reflect on their recent history, the sudden flash in the pan known as Hillary Clinton will seem a bit like Oz, where all the people believed in a mythical, but all too human character, until the curtain was pulled. And sure enough some commentator, no doubt, one who fortified the notion that Hillary was unbeatable, will say something like, "How was it that so many believed in so little?"
