I'll Never Vote for Hillary Clinton

Aren't any of you concerned about money in politics? Corruption in DC? The fracking earthquakes and ruined water sources? The increasing loss of privacy?

I can't understand why anyone would vote for Hillary Clinton.

When did we invade Libya?

When did we invade Libya?

President Barack Obama, reflecting on his 7 years as Commander-in-Chief, admitted that ousting Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was the biggest mistake of his presidency. While Obama took responsibility for the failure of Libya in that interview, he relied on the input of Hillary Clinton, his Secretary of State at the time.

In March of 2011, Clinton met with Mahmoud Jibril, who was leading the opposition to Gaddafi. As the New York Times reported, Clinton asked Jibril a series of questions about how his coalition planned to fill the power vacuum that would be created by Gaddafi’s ouster. And in the end, it was Clinton who convinced the White House that deposing Gaddafi was the right thing to do:

Her conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel Qaddafi’s forces. In fact, Mr. Obama’s defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, would later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line.

The 2011 NATO-led invasion of Libya that took place after Clinton’s visit has since allowed extremist groups to seize power in an unprecedented takeover of much of the country over the last five years.

In 2014, the US State Department shut down the US embassy in Libya and issued a travel warning urging all Americans to stay away from the country. Roughly one year ago, Libya’s central bank, the last remaining institution in the failed state, was forced to flee to a city in the Eastern region of the country due to rebel forces encroaching on the bank’s facility in Tripoli, the capital.

Libya is now a haven for terrorists, with thousands of ISIS soldiers using the country as a staging ground.

When did we invade Libya?

This is a joke, right?

Your article never said we did.

Does America know that McCain tweeted Putin a death threat? Saying what happened to Gaddafi will befall him? I don’t think so. Why is he even still in office? He has a hand grenade in one hand and a walking cane in the other. Please someone tell him to go home.

And by the way, isn’t that a treasonous act?

In 2013, Senator John McCain sent a twitter message to Putin, forecasting Putin the same destiny as that of Gaddafi. (which was regime toppling and death). Why didn’t the media ever talk about this? It sure would have been nice to know that a U.S. Senator was sending a threat to the leader of a world super power like Russia. That is headline material! At the time, Putin was asked at a press conference if he thought that was an empty threat or a real western initiative?

Putin responded, “Well about the “friend” part, you are seriously exaggerating, that is the person messaging is exaggerating. I am of course familiar with Mr. McCain, we met at the Munich conference, I think? First of all, I have read this yes, and what can I say? It wasn’t actually directed at me personally, it was directed at the fate of Russia. Some people would like to see Russia move aside. Just so it doesn’t get in the way of the hegemony. They are still wary of our nuclear potential. This is the reason we are able to practice independent politics. This is the reason Russia has paid particular attention to the “irritant” on the international arena. We have our own opinions. We conduct independent foreign policy and will continue to do so in the future. This is bound to be annoying to someone.

“Secondly the west is not homogenous. We have more allies than we have enemies. And my final comment, Mr. McCain as is known is a Vietnam veteran. I would suppose his hands are elbow deep in civilian blood. It appears he just cannot get by without repeated scenes that are atrocious to us of the murder of Gaddafi. On TV screens around the world we were shown his murder where he was drenched in blood. Is this what you call democracy? How did they do it? Using drones they delivered a blow on his battalion then over the radio to special forces, which shouldn’t have been on the territory, they brought in a camera crew as well as opposition rebels. And they murdered him without a trace or trial. If he was captured it should have been up to the people to decide his fate via democratic methods. Yes it’s difficult and it takes time but nothing else is acceptable.

“So Mr. McCain, as is known, was a prisoner of war in Vietnam. They put him not into a prison but into a hole in the ground. That is where he spent many years. And as any many would have, that is where he left his mind. So there’s nothing really to discuss.”

President Barack Obama said the worst mistake of his presidency was failing to prepare for the aftermath Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi’s ousting.

“Probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya,” Obama said in an interview with Fox News‘ Chris Wallace that aired Sunday.

Ad hominem.

Me either.

It does no good to point out Clinton's weaknesses, faults and criminal side. Her supporters try to paint Sanders' supporters as being cult-like, practically worshiping the guy, but they refuse to see her as having any faults at all. "Ooh," they say; "she is simply evolving." Yeah, right.
