Ms. Clinton Uses Rove's Dirty Tricks to Destroy the Democrats
(Gary Hart, The Huffington Post, March 7, 2008)
By saying that only she and John McCain are qualified to lead the country, particularly in times of crisis, Hillary Clinton has broken that rule, severely damaged the Democratic candidate who may well be the party's nominee, and, perhaps most ominously, revealed the unlimited lengths to which she will go to achieve power. She has essentially said that the Democratic party deserves to lose unless it nominates her. . . . "Politics ain't beanbag," is the old slogan. But that does not mean that it must also be rule-or-ruin, me-first-and-only-me, my way or the highway. That is not politics. That is raw, unrestrained ambition for power that cannot accept the will of the voters. . . . If Mrs. Clinton loses the nomination, her failure will be traced to the date she voted to empower George W. Bush to invade Iraq. That is not the kind of judgment, or wisdom, required by the leader answering the phone in the night. For her now to claim that Senator Obama is not qualified to answer the crisis phone is the height of irony if not chutzpah, and calls into question whether her primary loyalty is to the Democratic party and the nation or to her own ambition. . . .

SOME COMMENTS FROM READERS OF THE ABOVE POST:
The big problem here is that hillary doesn't play by the same rules as everybody else. It only has two rules, as follows: 1) trash anybody that stands in the way of your power lust 2) see rule #1 . . . hillary clinton spent 35 years learning how to trash the women that her husband had affairs with. Sometimes the trashing just made them just go away; sometimes it worked by coercing the women take bribes to be silent. This is the 35 years that it says it will bring to the White House.

Gary Hart's comments are brilliant and directly to the point of this woman's candidacy which is POWER. She is power-hungry and will go to any lengths simply to win. She is a disgrace to the Democratic Party.

I think Hillary has amply demonstrated that she (and Bill) will do just about anything to get back in the Whitehouse. She, as Bill Bradly rightly points out, is an unknown quantity when is comes to undisclosed scandal. Why won't she release her tax returns? Why does the Clinton Library refuse to release documents on pardons or big donors to the Clinton Library? And why have we still not seen the Whitehouse logs of just exactly Hillary's much lauded 35 year sof experience actually amounted to? YOu can guess why? The same reason Dick Cheney would not release the identities of who attended his energy policy summit, and went all the way to the Supreme Court to block those disclosures. You want more executive priviledge and classified documents? That's what you'll get with Hillary.

I don't understand how anyone hoping to escape the Bush/Cheney dungeon of the past 7 years can continue to support her after the way she's comported herself; especially recently. I was four-square behind her candidacy until she actually started running. Then I was like, whoa. no thanks! I wanted a female president because I thought a woman's perspective would bring a new way of running this country and dealing with the world. Instead all we have in her is a sleaze-ball man with different plumbing.

Clinton has her die hard supporters. They are going to support her no matter what kind of monstrous behavior she exhibits.
I cannot believe that the rest of the Dems are going to vote for her after weasel words praising McCain over Obama. During Bush's tenure I would think "could it get any worse?" AND IT WOULD! I have found myself thinking the same thing about Clinton, and this last episode has shown that it could get worse. What will be even worse, is her getting the nomination with this kind of politicking. We would most likely end up with McCain as president, or even worse...HER.

Hillary Clinton's primary loyalty is to her unending ambition and her actions say that if she can't have the nomination, then no other Democratic nominee will either. Her devotion to herself is sickening and the distortions & misrepresentations that she has leveled against Senator Obama are appalling and really speak of a desire to win at any cost!The cost, of course, will be the Democrats losing the general election to a man who wants our military to be in Iraq for a hundred years and now foresees our country invading Iran! Is it any wonder that people in the world view us as invading marauders.....it's unfortunate that the Clinton's can't see the devastation that their behavior will bring upon us, but the thirst for total power is all consuming and I really think that dynasty's should be limited to NFL or sports teams and not families in politics!

I've gotten to the point, after a life-time of being a Democrat and holding my nose to vote for someone I' m not too keen on, that, if Hillary DOES end up as the Dem. nominee, I think I'm not voting. For the first time ever since I could vote. Yes, it's that bad.
