Another stupid shit article - our ability to reason has gone so far down the shitter, it's unbelievable.

First of all, Hillary is "likeable" in the usual sense of the word - go have drinks with her, discuss politics, do grandma crap, watch a movie, whatever. It's only when "likeable" gets tied into 25 years of political smears that anyone may think she's not likeable. "Mistrusted" is probably the word they want, but we're too fucking stupid to know. Pity us. And since much of that "mistrust" comes from Fox News and Rush LImbaugh 24x7 and "trustworthy" assholes like Newt "shut down the government while I bang up another staffer to be wife" Gingrich, well, consider the sources, no? Guess not.  

[BTW, did you know Gingrich at 19 married his 26-year-old high school geometry teacher? wonder when that started - something for a seamy Hollywood thriller, though guess she aged a bit too much over the years]

Iraq??? For fuck's sakes, how many senators voted for our horribly executed foray into Vietnam where 58,000 American soldiers were killed (1/4 black), along with millions of civilians? Do you wrap a sign of shame around any of them in particular? 1968 Humphrey was the Democratic candidate - the VP who'd helped drive us deeper into war. Nixon was the Republican candidate and ultimate winner - the VP who'd helped Eisenhower set the wheels in motion a decade earlier.

1952 & 1956 the GOP was the party of McCarthy, not Ike - whatever the grownup might have done in office, it was lipstick on a pig for all the rest of their outrages. Yeah, Mr. Congenial and what-not, and nice professorial Stevenson - fucking *twice* - how stupid were Democrats? Walter Mondale, Mike Dukakis and George McGovern are probably "likeable" as well. Why should I give a shit?

Rigged elections? LBJ voted half the cemetery to get his first election, Harry Truman used a Kansas City racketeer to get elected, Kennedy used Daley's Chicago machine to steal Chicago & thus the state & thus the country in 1960 (he held up the vote count til late at night until they were sure they had the numbers - Nixon would have sued, but his guys had too much dirt on them stealing votes in southern Illinois). Talk about naïve. Elections are much cleaner and more transparent these days.

Clinton doesn't "apologize" like no one else ever apologizes (did Bush Sr. apologize for defying congress & smuggling weapons from Iran to Nicaraguan contras? I must have missed it). Nor does the left apologize for having no fucking strategy at all for how to deal realistically with uprisings and revolutions in Mideast states, how to remove Russia from Afghanistan, or how to stop crazed Islamists from blowing up embassies and hijacking planes and beheading reporters. "Sorry for being lameass motherfuckers who can only criticize others who make difficult unwinnable decisions" - not that hard... Instead, still whining about that bombed Sudanese aspirin factory & no-flight zones in Syria and what not.

Trade? in the 1950's our trade policy was overthrowing "banana republics" and having the locals pick bananas (that's what "Day-O" is about), supporting dictators like Somoza as he controlled literally 90% of the country's wealth. Are we going to compare that with TPP or say China trade policy that's increased personal wealth in that country may 20x over the last 3 decades?

whatever, that's all this one deserves - sure, 1950's were Happy Days, and the Fonz was as evil and depressing as it got, & Hillary's a cross-dressing Heath Ledger Dark Knight in drag. G'night, John Boy.
