Hillary Doesn’t Care About Expert Advice
May 1, 2008 – 6:09 pm by AndrewHillary has been receiving a lot of criticism recently for her gas tax plan. She was asked to name a single non-political expert who supported her plan. Here’s her campaign’s response:
“We believe the presidency requires leadership,” said Wolfson. “There are times that a president will take a position that a broad support of quote-unquote experts agree with. And there are times they will take a position that quote-unquote experts do not agree with.”[HuffPo]
I don’t think anyone who refers to experts as “quote-unquote experts” should be making important decisions. Generally when one’s knowledge of a subject is lacking it’s a good idea to consult a quote-unquote expert. Hillary is quote-unquote a moron and the thought of her running the country quote-unquote scares me more and more with each passing day.
Actually, the title of this is off a bit. It’s not that Hill doesn’t care about experts, it’s that the experts she is listening too are people like Karl Rove.
The gas tax makes no sense, but there are voters who also make no sense when they make their choice. Karl Rove taught us that those voters need special attention and if you manage it right, you can get an idiot in the White House, and fill congress with similar idiots.
The thing is, this gas tax thing may just be backfiring on Hill. Just goes to show us once again, that when Democrats sink to the abysmal levels that the Republican party has sunk to in the last 25 years, they just can’t pull it off. Try as they might, Democrats just don’t have the knack for insulting the intelligence of the American voter and getting away with it, like the Republicans do and do.
Reply to markYeah, very good point: the democrats need to stop trying to be Republicans and just be Democrats.
