Come On, Hillary!

No, I am not rooting for her.

I am asking her to start thinking logically, and to practice what she preaches.

It was announced yesterday that Hillary Clinton is destroying the other Democratic presidential candidates in regard to fundraising. She has raised about $36 million dollars, Obama has raised about $21 million, and John Edwards is coming in with about $15 million.

But this is hardly fair.

Hillary Clinton wants to raise taxes on the rich in order to give more money to the poor. In 2004, at a Democratic fundraiser, she said (and I am serious)...

"We are going to take things away from you for the common good."

Roughly translated, she wants to reward those who haven't tried hard enough to be successful by punishing those who have. Since she is a crazy, unbalanced person, this makes sense.

But it isn't consistent.

If she truly believes that wealth should be redistributed for the common good, then why does she have so much more campaign money than everyone else? Shouldn't she be giving her money to Obama and Edwards until there is a "level playing field"?

Isn't that the only way to really make things fair?

I already know what her argument would be...

"Well, I have done a better job at soliciting donors. I am more qualified for the position. I have a better education. All of these things, added together, entitle me to have more money than the other candidates, and to keep that money for myself."

Oh, if she would only say this.

But she can't.

Because it is true.

And it would reveal her as one of the most truly hypocritical people in history. We already know that she is, but she and the Democratic Party don't seem to be aware of it.

Shhhhhhhhhh... don't say anything.

I kind of like the idea of keeping the White House.

Ryan-

If Hillary wants to redistribute wealth, she is obviously a Communist.

Amen WIXY. As a libertarian, I think I would like to see them make some sort of an impact, but that still isn't the answer.

The name of the new party should be...

"COMMON SENSE"
