Why I am Anti-Hillary

I'm not a democrat.  I'm more accurately characterized as a conservative with a libertarian streak.  But even if Hillary held the political views of Ted Cruz, I wouldn't support her.

And here's the thing - it's partly because she's a woman.  That's right.  I don't want her to be president because she's a woman.

Don't get me wrong - I would LOVE to have a woman president.  I was pro-woman in combat arms jobs before it was cool.  I believe in women in leadership.  But not like this.

Let me explain - Hillary would not be where she is if not for Bill.  He's the charming one.  He's the Rhodes Scholar with the political savvy.  The sole reason Hillary has had any political success is that it's built on his success.  She's annoying and unlikeable.  She lacks his personality and charisma.

And I want our first woman president to get there on her own merit.  Not because of who she married.

Add to that the fact that she's just downright corrupt.  Shady.  Dishonest.  She's been busted so many times doing dishonorable things and those are just what we know about for sure.

I could make a list I suppose - Benghazi, silencing Bill's sex assault/harassment victims, travelgate, Whitewater, troopergate, the foundation donations from human rights violators, the excessive speaking fees, and of course, the emails.

The emails bug me the most at the moment - probably in part due to their recency.  But also her statements are just so ludicrous and her behavior so entitled/sketchy/dangerous.  When I was in the Marine Corps I held a secret clearance.  Just secret.  Not top secret and nothing like a Secretary of State would hold.  And I knew darn good and well that classified information had to be treated with the utmost of care.  As a lowly NCO, I knew this.  And had I acted like her, I'm quite certain I would have found myself facing a court martial.  The idea that she thought it was just hunky dory to use a private server for her work as SoS is just downright stupid.  And I don't think she's (that) dumb.  She's either pretty much the biggest idiot on the planet (i.e. shouldn't be president) or a complete and utter liar who cares very little for national security (and shouldn't be president).

And come on, we all know she really just didn't like those pesky FOIA requests.

I want a woman president.  But more importantly, I want a good president.  I'm pretty bummed with all the talent out there we've ended up with a Clinton/Trump election.
