So, let me start out by saying to you sincere Hillary supporters that I am sorry to disillusion you about Madam SOS. Then let me follow up by saying that this is Hillary-bashing, because I am going to be thus accused.
I am merely pointing out that the International Business Times reports that while HRC was telling people she opposed various trade bills and pro-corporate laws, she was supporting them too. Hillary seems perfectly comfortable talking out of both sides of her mouth.
People sense this, and increasingly move away from supporting her as other options present themselves.
I have to ask: Hillary supporters, is this person who you really want as President, or do you just think she’s “earned it?”
HRC may be hoping she gets elected President before even more merde hits the fan. Maybe there aren’t any seriously classified mails on her home server. But what they are finding is “cherce,” as Spencer Tracy would say.
An email Oct. 8, 2011, to Clinton from her aide Huma Abedin gave notes about the state of play in Congress on the proposed trade pacts. The notes provided Clinton “some background before you make the calls” to legislators.
Two days later in an email titled “FTA calls,” Clinton wrote to aides indicating she had spoken to Sens. Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Jim Webb of Virginia, both Democrats. She told the aides she had talked with “Webb who is strong in favor of all 3” trade agreements, and then asked, “So why did I call him?” — indicating she was otherwise phoning to try to convince wavering lawmakers to support the deals.

This duplicity also manifests in her lobbying for Monsanto as Secretary of State. People think I am making this up. I promise I’m not.
I wish I could support Hillary. I came of age before the Women’s Liberation Movement. It changed my life. I know she was changed as well. The struggle against patriarchy never ends.
She’s learned the wrong lessons though. Equality is not achieved by acting like an oppressor.
