Hillary Clinton On Love And Kindness
By barefooted on Wed, 01/27/2016 - 8:49pm |I chose to post this on Hal's "Incurable Romantics" blog because, well ... if you read the link you might understand why. But my first instinct was to put it here. It's personal, wonky, thoughtful and full of perspective about and largely by, Hillary Clinton. The woman she's always been.

I was moved by this long and finely done piece by Ms. Cramer. It has nothing to do with Bernie, it instead attempts to look back at a complicated life that not only created the Hillary we know today but the person she's always been.

An example of the campaign that's still not being run - too much Benghazi and email servers and Wall Street and Healthcare redox. https://newrepublic.com/article/122035/meet-new-old-hillary-clinton from last summer - as someone noted, Hillary that power hungry woman went for what out of Yale Law? The Children's Defense Fund? How power hungry and money grubbing.

Her personality, her beliefs, her very womanhood have been written in stone over the years, though never based in reality. All these years later they've been hammered home by the right and the left ... I don't see even a possibility of any campaign changing the perception. I honestly don't know what they/she can do or say that won't be considered as calculated and bought. At least.

Another good contemporary piece. Nice line about identity politics - only women would be told that seeking representation at the highest levels of government is wrong (short crufty version: voting your vagína): http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/why-i-am-standing-by-hill_b_9075072.html

I hadn't seen that, so thank you. And let me say that I'm loving "The Establishment™".
by barefooted on Wed, 01/27/2016 - 10:44pm
Rather than fight it, I guess she should embrace her inner Establishment™ - since it's trademarked, she might was well own it.
Here's another from Ann Lewis: http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2016/01/22/income-inequality-hillary-clintons-lifetime-cause-column/79116772/

Thanks, barefooted. Good to see more articles showing a truer Hillary. Getting tired of being inundated by the same old same old. And as you say, it won't end. So let's keep these coming!

Of course I agree that more positive articles and reports on Hillary should be highlighted ... if they can be found. That's a problem in and of itself for obvious reasons, but do we see the same lack of positivity around Sanders? Well, perhaps now there are blips of the sort that she faces daily, like this, and this. But if her campaign had done such a thing (or three)?
Add the data breach that somehow became a Clinton/DNC conspiracy, the suggestion by the Union Leader in NH and MSNBC to hold an unsanctioned debate that has been turned into a Clinton campaign demand and you have ... exhaustion.
Luckily for us she's Hillary Clinton, a woman who doesn't play their game.

It's all bad for.... Hillary!!!
by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 1:46am
Of course it is, and it's really pissing me off. She's a hardened politician who has not only baggage to haul around but a record that's out there for everyone to destroy at their leisure. She's been eaten up and spit out throughout her adult life, and the fact that she was far younger than Chelsea when she began just means to many that she didn't know her place. But she did know it, she created it and dared anyone to even try to deny it. She stood up, won battles and suffered scars and losses that bleed to this day. Anyone else would have walked away by now - but not her. Frankly, why the hell not is beyond me.
Thankfully, so is she.

Beautifully said, barefooted. You need to do more of this where more people can see it. Do you know about Joanne Bamberger at The Broad Side? She's looking for the kind of stuff you write. If you're interested.

Very interesting site ... thanks for the kind words and the heads up!
Edit: Ramona, may I use your name should I decide to contact her?

Joan Walsh is out of the closet - in the Nation.

Peracles, check out the NYT article on Hillary by Gail Sheehy---you know, the paragon of honest writing.
by Oxy Mora on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 10:57am
The NYT endorsed her today. Don't know if that's good or bad.
by Ramona on Sat, 01/30/2016 - 5:43pm
Well, it's better than another Gail Sheehy column, that's for sure.
As a response to Sheehy & a look at the numbers: Media Matters - guess not all Boomer women are having trouble supporting her, not by a long-shot.
