Hillary and George W.

Some dude responds to my balloon post: (specifically this part: "Before every contest Hillary claims X will happen and it doesn’t. But they swiftly say, after the contest, that they expected non-X, in fact non-X means victory.")

jake Says: that sounds familiar: When we see a decrease of violence in Iraq we’ll know we’re winning! An increase of violence in Iraq means we’re winning!

So I add:

The comparisons between Hillary and George W Bush are frightening. No, not similarities in politics but in attitude and tactics.

How many times did Hillary ignore a losing strategy just because she was too stubborn to admit failure?

How many stumblebum people has she kept on board because she treasures loyalty over competence?

The list could go on, but the similarities are manifest. The two share the same traits because they are both untalented people who have been thrust through circumstance and kinship into a leadership position higher than they would have attained otherwise.

The are the traits of shallow, scared people who bully others to make up for their shining inadequacies. I don't think I need to convince people here that Bush is a bully, but Hillary is as well. Someone who attacks below the belt and then plays the victim card when counter-attacked is a bully.

When people say they will vote for McCain over Hillary it's often because while McCain will have the same POLICIES of Bush, he has a different attitude: confidence, even honesty (which is a crock for McCain, but he projects it well).

A handy chart:
Bush - bad POLICIES, bad PERSONALITY
McCain - bad POLICIES, good PERSONALITY
Hillary - good POLICIES, bad PERSONALITY
Obama - good POLICIES, good PERSONALITY
