Clinton radical methods

[Hillary Clinton’s political methods were founded on the theories of a 1960s radical about whom she wrote her college thesis in 1969. It may take a village to raise a child, but Clinton’s college thesis seems to say that the village politicos need an enemy to mobilize against.

She titled the paper, written to fulfill her Bachelor of Arts degree at Wellesley College, “There is Only the Fight.” It praises the work of radical activist Saul Alinsky, a man who epitomized a self-interested no-holds barred campaign style that Hillary has emulated in later years. Clinton’s savvy-but-ruthless politics, including the “politics of personal destruction” she so often condemns but more often practices, seem rooted in Alinsky’s famous rules for radicals.]

- Amanda B. Carpenter

Exactly correct. No one is more hypocritical than the Clintons about the politics of personal destruction.

This Carpenter column is worth reading more than once. The Clintons exemplify the no-holds barred, win at any cost methodology used by liberals.

Conservatives need to devise effective counter methods.

Did you ever see the movie Primary Colors? It's a "true" story of the first Clinton for President campaign written be someone who was there with them.

Very interesting movie.

It shows more about Hillary than Bill.

Clintons will use any and all methods to win. For them, that's what a political race is all about. They won't deny it.

It's like Bill Parcells. You pull out everything you have to win. Second means nothing. They have refs in football, not so much in politics.

Hillary will win the nomination because she will not be denied.

The question is, can anyone stand up and fight the fight required to deny her the Presidency?

That criteria may be the most important qualification for the Republicans.
