They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions

That’s just a small reminder to all of you who are planning to vote for Hillary Clinton.
We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
– Hillary Rodham Clinton
In the mean time, Ron Paul has raised more than $5 million so far, and he isn’t in bed with any big powerful lobbies that I am aware of. Isn’t that interesting? I’m not predicting a revolution, but at least one guy is resonating enough to stand out from among all the rotting souls in Washington, D.C.
I’m in Denver this week learning more IT guru secrets. It’s pretty cold here. It’s colder in Hillary Clinton’s heart. Don’t push this country any further away from the ideas and dreams that made it what it is by voting for that sociopath. And don’t vote for mediocrity by choosing another small government talkin’ big taxpayer money spending Republican. Remember that anyone who promises government will solve all your problems is a liar.

I agree with you Trevor. I am now living in a region that embraces the likes of Hillary.. but I have noticed something very very strange.. they are starting to grumble that she is “too far to the right” for their likes.
Ron Paul so far has my vote.

I am wondering just what kind of government we are going to get either way.
Ron Paul so far has my vote.

Just stumbled on this site by way of Gringo Malo, by way of Vdare (one of my favorites).
Was wondering if you could give a couple of specific examples of Hillary’s sociopathology. I can think of some reasons why she gives me the willies; but I’d be interested to hear what you have to say.

Dedalus,
I get my sense of Hillary from looking into her cold, dead eyes. If you want some examples of her behavior though, here’s a nice start. Read number three over and over:
10. “I have to confess that it’s crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian.”
9. “God bless the America we are trying to create.”
8. “We have a lot of kids who don’t know what works means. They think work is a four-letter word.”
7. “He ran a gas station down in St. Louis… No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century.” –introducing a quote by Mahatma Gandhi
6. “Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody’s going to believe them.” –on Bill Clinton’s bimbo eruptions
5. “If I didn’t kick his ass every day, he wouldn’t be worth anything.” –on Bill Clinton
4. “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life.”
3. “We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
2. “I have said that I’m not running and I’m having a great time being pres — being a first-term senator.” —on her presidential ambitions
1. “I’m not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the President.”

Trevor,
Got a source for that Hildebeest quotation? I have no doubt that she said it. I’d just like to know where and when.

Trevor says:
Sure I have a source.

Considering the long term implications of achieving the presidency, Hillary Clinton may very well be the most dangerous woman on earth — ever.

I certainly won’t be voting for her.

I actually found a site that attributed the quotation to an AP story dated June 29, 2004. I suppose I could dig it out of a newspaper archive if I were more ambitious. Upon reflection, however, it occurs to me that that’s what all governments do, take things away from us for the common good.
One problem with the Hildebeest is that her idea of the common good differs radically from mine and probably from yours. Another is that the Hildebeest doesn’t recognize any limits to what she should be allowed to take away from us. Given a choice between Giuliani and the Hildebeest, assuming that Ron Paul doesn’t run on a third party ticket, I’ll probably vote for Dave Barry.

I’ll write in Ron Paul if necessary. I don’t need another babysitter stealing my money and using it to make up more stupid rules for me to follow. It’s time for a President who is interested in truly shrinking the size of government.

Gringo_Malo says:
Actually, it’s time for several successive presidents and Congresses truly interested in shrinking the size of the federal leviathan, not to mention a Supreme Court or two. I’m not sure, however, that politicians who want to shrink the government are electable. I’m afraid that we’re very near the tipping point, at which half of the electorate depends upon the federal government for its sustenance. After 2011, when the leading edge of the post-war Baby Boom becomes eligible for full Social Security and Medicare benefits, we’ll certainly be beyond the tipping point. Even so, I suppose I ought to follow your lead and write in Ron Paul rather than Dave Barry. Although I really like Dave’s position on the income tax, I doubt that he’s serious.

Hillary scares me too, as do all the Dem candidates, but the Repubs don’t exite me, either. I will say, though, that I would never vote for Ron Paul. When it comes to the war on radical Islam he as the same “Blame America First” reflex as the far left. I don’t like it from either side of the ideological aisle.

Trevor says:
I think Ron Paul is more of an anti-war generalist. I don’t think he is blame America first at all. He just prefers to err on the side of caution and avoid forcibly exporting American values to other places.
I still have mixed feelings about the war in Iraq. I served there proudly, but a lot of our foreign policy is incredibly screwed up. It’s not a simple world. Ron Paul’s stance on small government and securing the borders is more important than anything else. I don’t believe he would just abandon Iraq, but I do believe he would end the occupation as quickly as possible and revert to diplomatic approaches to solving Middle Eastern problems. We’ve been in the country five years now. I think we probably need to maintain some sort of military presence for at least another five.
No candidate is perfect, but Ron Paul is the only viable guy who closely represents my own worldview.

Wow, that’s a pretty direct statement of Marxist thought on the part of Clinton. Where’s it from? I’d like to be able to source it. I’ve written some about on my own blog, but that’s a pretty direct statement from her.
