Ralph Ralphs on the Clintons with Histrionic Fury: The Nader Revisionist View.
Ralph Nader, whose nadir has been eclipsed time and space and political importance and whose first name is an onomatopoetic word, has given us a historical synopsis of Bill Clinton’s terms in the White House. In the current Newsmax article, Nader Rails Against Clintons, we get a view from a person whose legal skills were challenged by the Gore and Kerry swarms in their attempts to keep Ralph’s name off the ballots in a grand gesture of democracy. No revenge noted here. Any buffoon even remotely aware of the effect of a splinter party might have predicted that Nader would have stolen votes from the left with his Green Party. The theory is clear here.
We read in an attack against Clinton:
“Bragging about millions of jobs his administration created, he neglected to note that incomes stagnated for 80 percent of the workers in the country and ended in 2000 under the level of 1973, adjusted for inflation.”
Didn’t Reagan create 21 million new jobs and double federal revenues? No matter. Poverty rates are frequently politically kept even with population growth by raising the income level of poverty and ignoring the 600 billion dollars we spend on welfare yearly.
Now, Ralph, before we ralph over the issues of the Clintons, let us conjecture that if Clinton’s victims managed to stumble their way up the economic ladder to the middle class, or, worse, to the domain where evil upper-middle class where capitalists reside, that they might switch parties and vote for Republicans who might be able to preserve their earned wealth from the clutches of the left. Some folk, those who can cope with our society and do well, might ignore the Clinton messages, past and present and future. It is clear that those who cannot tolerate capitalilsm look and act like mere stooges for the radical Marxists. Remember Saul Alinsky? Hillary’s hero.
“The latter so-called ‘financial modernization law’ sowed the permissive seeds for taking vast financial risks with other peoples' money (i.e. pensioners and investors). That is now shaking the economy to recession…”
This from an Edwards supporter who attacks corporations like peons attack scorpions.
“Bill Clinton is generally viewed as one smart politician, having been twice elected the President, helped by lackluster Robert Dole, having survived the Lewinsky sex scandal, lying under oath about sex, and impeachment. When is it all about himself, he is cunningly smart.”
No argument there. I think it still is.
“But during his two-term triangulating presidency, he wasn't smart enough to avoid losing his party's control over Congress, or many state legislatures and governorships…”
One must assume here that [1] he could have held Congress together giving their 30 year history of wanton tax whoring and [2] could have saved his minions and followers in the states who were going broke.
And the last gasp:
“It's[sic] small wonder that the editors of Fortune Magazine headlined an article last June with the title, ‘Who Business is Betting On?’ Their answer, of course, was Hillary Clinton.”
The incoherent anti-business bent oozes out of Ralph as if he could ever endorse business in any form. Ralph has enemies in business, in the Clinton crowd, but he forgets about Al Gore? We owe Ralph a few kudos for stealing 2% of the vote and sinking Gore’s ship in 2000 and can give him a few paragraphs here to spew his stuff, within reason. We may only ralph over Ralph’s nonsense that the business community would endorse Hillary, the Marxist Queen of the Tax Whores. Business cannot stand inflation, interference by government, high taxes and unemployment, hallmarks of the Clinton Administration, but can use the cheap illegal alien labor Hillary and Obama will supply, for a price. Maybe that is the poisoned apple they might buy. This follows unless business has an escape route in the Middle East with cozy tax concessions given that the US corporate tax is now the second highest in the world at about 39%. Wiring a few trillion dollars of assets to Dubai after the financial collapse of the US economy amidst the celebrations of the Marxists might be the best business adventure since the Honourable East India Company.
Nader and Clinton can agree on destroying the American auto industry and ensure that our oil prices will be astronomical. We can approach the splendor of Europe as they pay 5-6$ per gallon and their young people have no chance to buy property or decent cars. That much we can depend on. With Hillary’s proposed 800 billion in new spending and her phony notion that the budget ought to be balanced we can sure those taxes on the upper half of the population will have to double or more. Nice scenario for business.
The only useful thing Ralph Nader can do is to run again along with Bloomberg and split the system into fragments.
