The Dead Weight Around Hillary's Neck

My brother Rick wrote an interesting piece on his blog called "Why I Don't Want Hillary as President." I gotta agree with him.

But there's more: the Bill Factor. The guy just can't help himself. He loves the spotlight, and can't discipline himself to stay on-message with his wife, who happens to be The Candidate, in case he's not aware of that. Bill's gonna sink her chances, whether it's in capturing the nomination or winning in November.

I just read an article in the current Newsweek about some of Bill's business dealings with shady people since leaving office. We had eight years of Whitewater, a minor scandal that Republicans drew out insufferably. I'm afraid there are a bunch more Whitewaters just beneath the surface. And they would be inflicted on us throughout a Hillary presidency.

While I think she's qualified and capable, a real sharp lady who knows policy and could make a decent president (despite whether or not you agree with some of her views), I think her husband is just an enormous turn-off for too many people. A big liability. Kudos for hanging on to a marriage when lots of people thought she should divorce the guy. But Bill, who would most definitely be co-president, is the main reason I can't imagine voting for her.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
