why Clinton isn’t receiving the approval she was expected to get

OK, what kind of nitwit does it take to think she was going to get the approval “she was expected to get” when more than HALF of HER side of the electorate bypassed her already in 2008? Was that number of supporters supposed to go UP_ despite another 8 years of poo — both her own and that of others — flung her way?

Because Hillary ain’t teflon, unlike Reagan — The only reason poo isn’t encrusted an inch deep on the bitch is because the lackeys in the media keep running defense for her, and Taking One For The Gypper.

The heart and the mind must function as one. A person that acclaims themselves an intellectual while lacking emotional fortitude and a spine, isn’t at the top of humanity. Nor is a person who reacts to his emotions first and foremost, controlled by anything reasonably called logick.

In his book “Angels and Us” Mortimer Adler uses the phrase “The brain is necessary to but not sufficient for thinking.” This leads me to think in terms of amoral vs. moral/immoral. Professor Wendy Doniger’s amoral brain appears to be filled with stuff but, weither she likes it or not her utterances gets filtered through her moral/immoral thought processes. Hence this gem of immoral thought. “Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.”

Being a Badger as I am, I want Walker, but, by Gadfrey, I DO like Ms. Fiorina! That is one smart person!

Dear Ms Pollitt,
Is your assumption that most women are so immoral that they don’t care whether a candidate is a crook? Are there no other women who can represent us, or, in a nation of about 150 million women, is only one qualified? Are the rest of us idiots?

Not a single word by the Ivy author that Hillary is a plain old crook. Why is that so hard to acknowledge?

For the GOP field, what I would love to see is that the others that don’t get the top two slots agree to cabinet posts. Their country needs them.

Trump has no chance to win, but he has a good message. If he would agree to be SecCommerce, he would be a ton of good. His country would love him. Another example: Bobby to HHS. Lindsay to Defense. Carson to Surgeon General. Perry to Homeland Security.

Being supported by the GOp Establishment is perhaps a sign of you lack of integrity, rather than the presence of credentials or Presidential material. Then again, one might say the same thing about being a Leftist.

Re: Pollitt,
“Man is not a rationale animal, man is a rationalizing animal.” R.A. Heinlein

“My favorites so far are Walker, Rubio, Cruz, and Fiorina.”

As of today, I too support Walker, Cruz, and Fiorina.

Rubio however is a snake, a political opportunist bereft of principled ethics. Whatever he might promise or claim to support and no matter how basic in principle, he has already demonstrated that, if he decides it to be of political benefit… he will unhesitatingly betray his former ‘position’.

I was very much a Palin fan, and so were the women that I talked to in my neighborhood — we thought she was a brilliant choice, especially since she had worked her way up through local offices in the good-old-fashioned way, and not through being the spouse or spawn of an established political family.

I am beyond outraged at the way that she was treated by establishment so-called feminists, by the establishment GOP, by the lap-dog media and by the entertainment world.

I have a long memory, and intend to nourish my grudges. Anyone who had an enthusiastic hand in rubbishing Sarah Palin are noted down in my “bad book”.

Payback is a dish best eaten cold. Carly Fiorina may not have been all that brilliant in business – but if she is administered the Palin treatment, my fury will be doubled.

I’ve got to say that the more I hear Carly Fiorina speak, the more I like her. Too bad the GOP powers that be won’t back her. She’s one of the best extemporaneous speakers I’ve heard in recent years and obviously has a very high IQ (is that term still allowed?).
