Very happy to see this site --
Yes, I too hope people aren't afraid to speak up about why they do not want Hillary for President. I may not have time to come back here regularly, so I'll share indepth what I feel is crucial: I do think it's important to spread the word on various websites. I am an independent and haven't decided whom to vote for per the 2008 presidency. Yet I am convinced that Hillary's devious tactics and her lack of political smarts would yield disastrous results.
To defeat Hillary, these are my guidelines for myself which I invite others on this site to consider: take a page from Hillary's own campaign book, the rapid-response approach. Go to various political websites to register immediate rebuttals to whatever Hillary is trying to fudge next. Her campaign never expected to be mimicked like that. Be polite. Don't argue with Hillary supporters, some of whom become more shrill, illogical, and unhinged with every anti-Hillary opinion stated. A few are bullies who are rightly frightened when hard-hit by posted truths about Hillary. I've commented on the HuffingtonPost.com board. A sizeable number of posters there, including liberals, do not like Hillary. One irate Hillary defender accused me of being a front for an organization, trying to mess with people's minds, and tried to lure me into a tit-for-tat. I don't give any opponent that chance. I merely continue to air my heartfelt concerns, posting my feedback about Hillary in a clear manner, and with civility. (Also, a new nasty tactic on some website message boards, is to flag as abusive, any post by an anti-Hillary writer. If that happens, and you face being banned, just email the site staff and speak up, and include copies of all your postings, all courteous, non-abusive). Also, it's important not to exaggerate. Don't insult Hillary. That's what her staff is said to do per rivals. Stick to the Hillary facts. Ignore the flaws and dramas in Hillary's personal life. Many people don't want to hear it; emphasize instead her voting record, her lack of perception, her lack of experience on important issues, quote from her speeches, and from Bill Clinton's autobiography, showing how currently, she is piggybacking on any positive achievement by her husband when he was in the Oval Office. Bring up the dissatisfaction of groups of upstate New York voters over Hillary's failure to implement certain campaign promises to improve their economic situation. The pro-Hillary's and the anti-Hillary's are basically set in their ways. Don't waste time trying to change a pro-Hillary person's mind. Dialogue with political swing voters. Moreover, an intriguing group of people are Democrats who say they dislike Hillary but would settle for and vote for her if she were to become the nominee. When I do find opportunites to dialogue with such Democrats, I appeal to the priority of country over political party, so that hopefully they will support another candidate. Like a broken record, I keep stressing on various posts that Hillary has had 16 years to prove that she does not want to polarize, or that she has grown beyond that, and that, nevertheless, with her it is still the same-old, same-old pattern.
Per her campaign wealth, don't feel intimidated by that. Yes. it buys her endorsements, and more air-time, more in-your-face time, but "more-Hillary" also translates into more polarization. She may win the Democratic nomination; but the general election will be much more unpredictable. Unless major ballot-rigging occurs, there's an excellent chance Hillary's quest will not succeed. Finally, I'd say in your endeavors, portray Hillary, not as a monster, an evil hypocrite, but as I sense she really is: as a very confused, not very insightful wannabee who has shown little ability to bring people together, or to offer a solid, well-thought out platform to solve serious national and global challenges. I give Hillary her due -- she has certain talents, she's not without intelligence, her family and fans appreciate her, she's experienced grief and loss as we all have in life, and there's no need to hate her. Yet we do need to encourage her to realize the political arena is not her forte, her tactics are unacceptable, and her delusion that she is a capable leader cannot be fed any longer. Let's trust we can do that, and again, I stress, let's be truthful, be courteous, be relentless.  |
