@Lash,
Apparently, the only permissible
Clinton Talk is that which contains fulsome praise for one or both of them.
I think it a ridiculous notion that any regular member of this forum is some sort of operative for a political party, organization, foreign government, powerful individual, or fiendish fraternal order like the Freemasons or the Knights of Columbus, but if there was one person of whom I would be suspicious, it's Blickers.
I still don't believe he's a Clinton or DNC operative, but that's only because I think it's ludicrous that any organization or individual would waste resources on trolling this site. You and I may hold the fate of the nation (if not the world) in our hands, but clearly, no one else here has that sort of influence.
However, I am noodling around a couple of theories that might explain how it could be possible that someone who behaves just like a Clinton operative might actually be one (or something like one) and still swim in the enjoyable shallows of this but backwater forum. I've thrown in a third which explains what I believe is the real Blickers, no political agent for anyone but himself, but who remains inspired to follow in the footsteps of his mid-century, suburban liberal parents.
THEORY NUMBER ONE:
Blickers is a former Clinton operative; now retired who keeps up with the drill because old habits die hard and he has always been a loyal soldier for Bill Clinton. It was Bill who won him over with Fleetwood Mac soundtracks and the way he bit his lower lip and now he feels duty bound to defend the wife. This would explain why he is so much more passionate and even somewhat convincing in his defense of Bill and yet less effective and barely stirred by sticking up for Hillary. This theory assumes he's still on numerous talking point distribution lists and would explain how he's so closely in sync with the Clinton narrative.
THEORY NUMBER TWO:
He's got a connection, by marriage, with one of the mid-level members of the Clinton Inner Circle. The individual pulled a few strings and got Blickers an audition here in A2K. If he impresses the people who matter, there's a chance he will get promoted to the Comments section of the Washington Times. His Dutch Uncle, like Blickers, has always been a Bill loyalist which explains why our friend has languished here in A2K for so long. However, now that Hillary has so completely screwed the pooch, Bill's the top money magnet for Clinton Inc. and is once again the Big Dog, back on top and running the show. There's a decent chance that Blickers will now finally pass the audition and move on to bigger and better propaganda efforts.
THEORY NUMBER THREE:
Blickers is simply a wannabe political operative for the Democrats, with no connections and no chance whatsoever of making it to the Show. Nevertheless he is a voracious consumer of left-wing blog content, and as he is retired from the civil service position he held since he got out of college and his mother found a spot for him in whatever federal or state agency in which she spent a lifetime, he has loads of free time on his hands and can stay on top of the latest narrative being spun by actual DNC operatives on TV, the radio and OpEd sections of major liberal news media websites. This is more like a passionate hobby than an avocation for Blickers who fondly remembers his High School Health teacher Dad, his mother and his two much older siblings passionately discussing at the dinner table how Adlai Stevenson was just too good a person for this country, and how women in America would never obtain true equality with men unless they secured the right to end a pregnancy through legal and safe abortion facilities.
