What We Learned From Our Liberal Friends

Yes, we at RedStateVT have dear friends who are Liberals. In a recent free-wheeling conversation we learned the following:

--The problem with politics is money in politics. The Koch brothers' money.

--Ted Cruz is evil. He wants to do away with government.

--Business is under-regulated.

--The 170 bikers in Texas who were recently arrested after a shoot-out were treated more leniently than black suspects.

--There is no substance to the (various) Hillary Clinton scandals.

--Republicans were responsible for the financial meltdown.

--There was civility in politics until the Tea Party came along.

--Our friends were actually Republicans until the party became too extreme.

Meanwhile, all we can say to our Liberal friends is: you are winning. The worst president in American history is not held accountable. Hillary Clinton will survive the corruption that surrounds her and become the next president. George Stephanopolous keeps his job. The Boy Scouts are going gay and now so is Ireland. And on and on. 


Gram-ma-ma
This week, as she campaigned in Iowa, in Chicago and, starting Friday, in New Hampshire — a relative flurry of activity — she generally filled each day with one event open to the news media, a smaller one with a pool reporter, and then some unexpected stops where she ordered coffee or bought toys for her grandchild. Always the grandchild. (New York Times, 5/22/2015)

And make no mistake about it, Hillary's granddaughter will be the secret weapon in the campaign. When times get tough, when the e-mail scandal heats up again, when new facts emerge about Benghazi, when more sordid details are learned about the Clinton Crime Family Foundation, the granddaughter will make her appearance. The narrative will then become: how can those heartless Republicans attack....a kindly grandmother. 

You read it here first.


The Circulator
The emails also show that Mrs. Clinton was circulating information about the attacks in Benghazi that contradicted the Obama administration’s initial narrative of what occurred, and that she was concerned about how Republicans could use the incidents to undermine President Obama. (New York Times, 5/21/2015)

Good thing we read down to paragraph 9 in this article, otherwise we would not have learned this 'factoid.' We might have thought that this little bombshell would have been in the headline, or maybe the first paragraph. But we would have been wrong....
