When Hillary Clinton announced her bid for the much coveted 2008 presidential seat, there were no gasps of disbelief or declarations of,"What a surprise!" from anyone.Unless of course,you've spent the better part of the last fifteen years holed up in a cave or have simply been glued to the boob tube rapturously watching soap operas,dimwitted talk shows and similar light weight fare.

Ever since her husband Bill occupied the oval office back in 1993, she has none too secretly
nursed similar political aspirations. Remember their joint proclamation ," You get two for one.", meaning they would be jointly running the country? If Hillary gets elected we'll be forced to endure another four years of Bill Clinton as the co-president. Now, for those of you who thought that President Clinton "walked on water"(and you know who are),well then,Hillary's ascension into The White House will seem like a Godsend. The both of them in tandem will once again weave their special Democratic magic. Which in turn means: higher taxes and more useless do gooder social programs. The average,hardworking taxpayer will once again be viewed as the governments veritable piggy bank from which these said programs will be financed.

And in order to prove that certain social programs never die(they simply lie in wait until their eagerly anticipated resurrection),Hillary's much touted health care bill will be hauled out of mothballs, dusted off,then presented a second time to the American people after fifteen years. Suffice to say,going into detail about what some political wags referred to as Hillary Health would take up far too much time here,so search Google for the details on this flawed plan that was touted as a panacea for our countries health care woes.

But like all liberal Democrats, feelings will be the order of the day. Remember when President
Clinton told the whole country that he," felt our pain"? Well, it's kind of hard for me to really take seriously how someone who wears expensive suits, confers with people of power and privilege and feasts on $500.00 a plate dinners can relate to the average,hardworking taxpayer
who shops at Value City,rubs elbows with their average friends and chows down at Ruby Tuesdays.Yet,these rich,influential politicians can somehow feel our collective pain.I sincerely doubt it. Or perhaps I'm being a tad too cynical? No,I was right the first time.

Please keep in mind, Hillary Clinton is cut from the same liberal cloth as her husband. To be honest about it, I really can't tell one from the other as far as political ideology is concerned. Unless of course, you compare libidos in which case Bill becomes the front runner in that race. However, if you pine for the bygone days when William Jefferson Clinton ran The White House;then by all means vote for Hillary. Sure, your wallet will be a tad lighter from paying for all of her and the predominantly Democratic Congress's well meaning social programs,but you'll derive that warm,fuzzy feeling from doing what's right for your fellow man.And in the end,aren't feelings what liberal politics are all about?
