Kapturing Clinton

Whether with a view to success or in order to raise the necessary issues, and in either case with both eyes fixed firmly on 2016, I have long been of the view that there needs to be a primary challenge to Obama in 2012, and I am particularly keen on the idea of Marcy Kaptur. A pro-life woman seeking the Democratic nomination has happened before. But never on a full platform of policies. And certainly never from the populist, anti-war Left. One to watch? Watch, and pray. Pray, and work.

Meanwhile, frankly, let there be a primary challenge from Hillary Clinton. She could then be made to explain how and why she and her husband never delivered on healthcare. How and why his trade policies caused the Second Great Depression by shipping off colossal amounts of spending power to China and elsewhere. How and why his trigger-happy foreign policy set the precedents and the tone for Bush's wars, wars enthusiastically supported both by him and by her.

She could be made to explain how and why her PUMA party within the party has been forcing out the white Catholics whose votes have determined every Presidential Election since 1976. How and why it crosses over very significantly with the latest anti-black party within the party, in this case funded by the American taxpayer via the State of Israel, whose candidate she was in 2008 as surely as she was the candidate of the Saudi and Kuwaiti despots at whose command she promised to nuke Iran. So much for any supposed animosity between them and Israel. They and Israel ran a joint candidate for President of the United States.

Oh, yes, bring on Marcy Kaptur.

And bring on Hillary Clinton.

  1. Kaptur being from Ohio is another plus, since Ohio is a crucial swing state.

    As for the Clintons, how many Democrats still think Bill was a great president because he happened to be in office during an economic bubble? I imagine the numbers must be similar to those Republicans who still think George W. Bush was a great president that history will eventually vindicate.
