Seven: Hillary

So, by her own words in every interview when she is asked why she should be the leader of the most powerful country on earth, Hillary's first words are, "My experience..."

Her experience: Hillary was almost the Health Care Czar of the United States of America, save for a monstrous error in judgment by both Bill and Hillary (but you've got to believe that Hillary was behind that one from the beginning); Hillary has been a United States Senator from the most liberal state in the United States for six years; an absolute dearth of business or executive level experience anywhere; was a lawyer for a while, but never ran her own firm, or even managed a practice area in a firm. Hillary did manage the damage control and spew propaganda ("vast right-wing conspiracy") for the several scandals during Clinton I, which would probably qualify her to be a decent chief of staff, or top political adviser to a president.

Compare Hillary's "experience" with that, say, of John McCain, Christopher Dodd, Sam Brownback, Rudy Guiliani, Al Gore, hell Jesse Jackson for that matter. Hilliary Clinton has one reason, and one reason only which drives her quest for public office: She is convinced that she is a morally and intellectually superior being, with some sort of divinely inspired right to decide how others should live their lives. She is, by all accounts (even her allies) one of the most coldly calculating creatures ever foisted upon the American public.

We survived Clinton I (just a "good ole boy" who couldn't get a date in high school), and Bush II (a decent human being, but an idiot). It is not a over-statement to say that a Clinton II presidency could quite possibly be a irreversible turn towards the end of our republic.
