I'm not convinced that Hillary really wants or thinks she can become president. But being a candidate and potential president certainly keeps the extortion dollars flowing.

Imagine if the Press hated the Clintons like they hated Nixon.

Or if Nixon committed half the crimes of the Clintons/Obamas.

Hillary is a Marxist and all Marxists want the same power Stalin had.

I don't think future presidents are supposed to tell future supreme court justices how to vote on an issue. They can say that they should have some of the same overall opinions or values, but they cannot say - as a prerequisite you must agree to overturn a decision. Of course ethics have never applied to the Clintons, so what am I thinking.

It's popular with the left when it's THEIR speech they want protected.

"You believe in freedom of speech for communists because what they say is true. You do *not* believe in freedom of speech for fascists because what they say is a lie."

Speaking to the rest of the Hollywood Ten during their preparation for testimony, in answer to a hypothetical prosecution ploy, "Do you believe in free speech for fascists?"

Didn't President Obama pound his fist and abuse the Supreme Court justices sitting in front of him on exactly this issue in his second State of the Union address?

How many justices has he appointed? How many of them would have been on the right side of Citizens United?

The freedom to criticize our overlords is still holding on by a single voice on the Supreme Court.

Helps explain why she was so set on blaming the producer of that little video for what happened in Benghazi. To the point of lying about it at the funerals.

Either way she makes out. But if she gets the nomination she's in.

She doesn't even particularly try to hide her desire to turn America into a dictatorship. She just assumes that the voters are too dumb to understand that that is what she is advocating.

You don't understand: She's RIGHT, in her mind. If she says it, if she believes it, she is RIGHT!
That is pretty much the sum total of Hilary's reasoning.

"She doesn't even particularly try to hide her desire to turn America into a dictatorship. She just assumes that the voters are too dumb to understand that that is what she is advocating."

That's only half the story: She also counts on the millions of liberal voters who knowingly long for leftist totalitarianism. They do not fear tyranny: They want it, as long as they are the ones crushing dissent.
