| The Democratic Party Enemies Of Hillary Clinton Blog |
| 2006-05-25 |
| (original opinion) This is a proposal for a public service blog about those people in the democratic party who bitterly hate Hillary Clinton and oppose her presidential ambitions, and why. Enemies Of Hillary (EOH) are too numerous to mention among the republicans, but there hasn't been any substantive listing of her enemies among the democrats. Being labeled an EOH, however, will hopefully, eventually force a response from those accused, that they either proclaim their undying loyalty, respect and support of Hillary Clinton; that they proudly announce that she is their bitter enemy; or most likely, that they remain non-committal. Ordinarily, this would be enough, except that Hillary Clinton may interpret non-committal responses as opposition. "They are the ones who did not applaud strongly enough after your speech." Hillary is known as someone who demands utter loyalty, in lieu of which you are an enemy. The smallest offense by one of her entourage results in their instant dismissal and explusion, with no chance, ever, for redemption. So this is the purpose of the yet-to-be-created blog. To for once let everybody know where they stand, early on in the game, and even before the beginning of primary season. For democrats, they will finally know if their candidates are "Hillary" candidates, or if they are "party" candidates, whose loyalty is to the party, and not just a single woman. But once again, this blog has yet to be created, and surely could be improved with useful suggestions, even as to blog host, formatting, etc. Since local people know far more about their democratic party representatives, they would be the ones to make educated guesses about their likes and dislikes. But in any event, the end result could be that every prominant democrat could be seen and known for their loyalty to Hillary, a useful consideration to America's voters. Please let me know what you think. |

| #7 Dave D.: It's good to know who's fighting who for the same reason that teams wear jerseys in football. For example, Al Gore, Howard Dean, and John Kerry bitterly hate Hillary. And yet in public they have to pretend that they are her good buddies. In past, this was party solidarity. But this time, Hillary is running almost independently of the democratic party. She is raising money parallel to the party, and not giving a dime of it to Howard Dean. So what will happen? Will Hillary win and insist that the entire democratic party is just her life support system, much like the way her husband treated them, or how organized crime bosses behave; or will the party want to share leadership power? The rest of the party really suffered during Bill's tenure. And while presidents are officially the leader of their party, they are supposed to share the wealth out of party loyalty, not demanding utter fealty from the other pols. (When mafia dons don't share the wealth, they tend to get eradicated by their lieutenants. That's why John Gotti got "promoted".) Bill was slick enough to pull it off, but the only one who benefitted was Bill. And there are a lot of powerful democrats who would do damn near anything to stop Hillary from doing it to them a second time. But again, somebody, maybe me, needs to set up a scorecard of who is on Hillary's side and who isn't. Because every one who isn't is going to have to be taken care of in some way, in some of the dirtiest political in-fighting we've seen in years. |

| #5 I guess I don't see the point in this. Who cares? Once you've identified Hillary's enemies, then what? |
