The U.S. election is just days away and there are very few people who won't be happy to see the whole spectacle put behind us. The presidential race has sucked up the news cycle like a Dyson in a sawdust factory.
The last eight years are another spectacle that many will be glad to put behind us starting with a disrespectful, haughty, petulant, campaigner-in-chief/golfer-in-chief who took more vacation and played more golf than any servant of the people should, except that he was not a servant but really more like a lord. He was the first president of half of the people of the country, continuously expressing disdain for Republicans and conservatives. Race relations didn't improve under Obama in his eight years - they got worse. I don't want to go through the laundry list of his ill-conceived policies but in relation to this election we are going to just get more of them with Hillary Clinton. The reason not to elect Hillary isn't the 33,000 emails she deleted, or the thousands (including secret) that she let fall into foreign hands. It also isn't the fact that she lied about Benghazi to the American public and didn't protect her embassy staff. It also isn't her failed foreign policy where much of the world is now at odds with us and where ISIS was allowed to grow and prosper. And it isn't her gathering of money from overseas power brokers for the Clinton Foundation.
The reason not to elect Hillary Clinton as president of the United States is that she will continue Barack Obama's fundamental transformation of the U.S. and on some issues shifting into high gear while doing it.
She will continue to weaken our economy and our safety by drastically increasing the flow of illegal aliens into the country, legalizing all those who reside here and came here illegally, and by increasing the numbers of refugees from the middle east who will harbor among them hundreds of terrorists. She has promised to raise taxes which will harm the economy. She will continue to make poor deals with other governments and lead from behind. Terrorism will not decline because it won't be met with a firm response.
A Hillary Clinton presidency will be four more years of the messy Obama world we live in now and even worse. We are really on the wrong track and your vote will make a difference in the most important election in the country's history.
Vote for Donald Trump for president of the United States and we will have a stronger economy, reduced debt, a safer country, a safer world, more friends and better partnerships in the world. Vote for the outsider - not the Washington insider.
Never Hillary
The following are some of the reasons that I would never vote for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States (in no particular order).
She supports raising taxes on the wealthy.
She supports amnesty for all illegal aliens.
Condones the breaking of federal law in her support for illegal aliens.
Supports extending Obamacare to illegal aliens.
She wants to build on the Obamacare fiasco.
She supports abortion.
Hillary supports paid family leave which raises taxes to pay for employees extended time off.
She wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $12.00 per hour and supports communities raising it higher than that. This is something that should be left to market forces and not imposed on businesses since it has the effect of creating layoffs for thousands of people and making products more expensive.
She supports the climate change hoax and taxing oil companies to pay for green energy schemes.
She supports increased gun control.
Hillary supports free college, which is financially unrealistic and ruinous in a country with debts and deficits like the U.S. In my opinion, college should not be free but something that has value to the student, something that needs to be worked for and cherished. Look at the free public education system and how that has failed. Do we want college to go that way too?
Hillary Clinton kept a computer server on her own property which received and sent classified
e-mails and which put United States classified information at risk.
This server was very likely hacked. General David Petreus was convicted
for a much weaker offense. Her aides deleted 32,000 emails from the server
dated during the same time period, that she regarded as personal and
private before turning over the server to the government. This alone is obstruction of justice.
Hillary participated in a lie/cover-up of the
Benghazi terror attack which killed four Americans including an
ambassador who repeatedly asked for her help. She knew it was a terror
attack (it was on the anniversary of 9/11) but lied and said to the American people that it was retaliation
for a You-Tube video. As Secretary of State there was at least incompetence involved and perhaps malfeasance.
Clinton pursued a disastrous strategy to topple Kaddafi in Libya by supporting rebels with weapons and American and NATO military power which has destabilized the country and the region. Statements like the following alone should disqualify her:
"We are currently doing everything we can to bomb, strafe and use
missiles to carry the rebels into power in Libya. We want them to win.
We just don’t know who they are.” Hillary Rodham Clinton
She voted for a military solution to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and later changed her mind.
And for those of you saying that they will vote for her because she is a
woman and that we are ready for a woman for president, please remember
that qualifications and integrity are what should suit a person for president, not the
gender of the candidate. Besides, we have had other women run for higher office who had more integrity than Mrs. Clinton (Michelle Bachmann, Carly Fiorina, even Sarah Palin).
