50. Anyone who believes that Hillary is a "Progressive"

is in for a rude awakening. I still can't believe that anyone would buy into that.

Obama ran as a candidate who was to the left of Hillary. And with his administration there were some incredible Progressive wins. However, we all know that there were more disappointments and some of the players with whom he surrounded himself--were definitely not Progressive.

However, I have to thank Obama for his measured foreign-policy approach. His Iran deal held at bay the neocons who want action on Iran. His actions on Syria, kept us out of a full-blown war there--when the neocons were pressuring him 24/7 to put boots on the ground. Libya was Hillary's project--with Robert Kagan (founder of the neocon movement) sitting as one of her hand-picked advisers.

If Hillary as our President, there will be no one saying, "No" to more neocon wars. Progressives don't pick the founder of the neocon movement to advise them. Progressives don't hand the neocons Libya on a silver platter, which is what Hillary did.

I find this chilling and frightening. We will have a more aggressive war-based approach to the Middle East with Hillary as President.

I don't see how anyone can ignore this or excuse it away. I assume that her supporters just don't care (or are in denial). Or maybe they've decided that Bush's warmongering really isn't that bad, after all.

It's mind boggling.
