You have a date with Hillary Clinton

John Stallings

If the presidential election were held tomorrow, Hillary would win.

And with her would come big government, higher taxes, a cut in military spending, greater intervention into American’s personal lives, & a whole spate of other social programs.

I’m not saying this with a prophetic periscope but rather as an observer of the national political scene & spiritual climate, with a healthy dose of common sense thrown in.

If you think Hillary’s recent gaffs in the debates or the alleged planted questions are going to hurt her, you can give that up. These weren't body blows & she’ll bounce back.

Recently I heard Mike Huckabee, a Republican contender for presidency, a fellow resident of Arkansas & long time political rival of the Clintons say just that in essence. He added that the Clintons always learn from their mistakes.

There are basically two reasons I say Hillary will be the next president. First I believe it because more than half America’s voters lean toward liberalism & aren’t about to cast their vote with moral issues in mind.

Secondly, I believe Hillary will be the president elect this time next year because she is craftier & more aggressive than the rest of the field & that’s counting Democrats & Republicans. Whether you like her or not, you can’t deny the fact that Hillary is one of the most able politicians in the country.

Because of some wily Republicans who were willing to fight in 1993, America dodged the Hillary Health system but she has learned from that, she’s evolved her tactics, she’s tougher than ever& she means business. If you don’t believe this you’ll quickly learn it over the next year.


One of the reasons I believe a Hillary presidency will be unfortunate for the U.S is that she’ll be forced to spend so much time putting out the fires of political payback.

This is just my opinion but if Hillary is elected, her honeymoon will be over on her first walk into the oval office. I’m not saying it would be the right thing to do, although certainly it’s to be expected because of the way she & her party treated president Bush during his tenure. There will surely be retribution against her[one & only one of the triggers might be her unwillingness to make public her past White House documents, etc.] & it would be conceivable that impeachment would start during the first week of her presidency. In no scenario would she win a second term when the American public sees the social programs she’ll unfurl. The disillusionment would grow into a national nightmare.


After the tumult of the Bush years, & the fact that we’ll in all likelihood still be at war, all of this would rip into the open wounds of national discord over war in Iraq that have yet to heal.

Hillary & her plans for America aren’t going to fade away because she’s determined to reside again at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She almost certainly has the Democratic nomination wrapped up. A few untested, one-term Senators are no match for the “war machine” the Clintons have built over the years.

I’ve said for years that the pulpits of America have saved us many times & they can do it again but too few pulpits today are issuing the clarion call to national prayer & repentance.

The Republicans need to return to their Barry Goldwater & Ronald Reagan roots. I don’t know what’s happened to Republican leadership but I’m beginning to think of myself more & more as a political Independent.

As Christians we can pray & work for the candidate of our choice & make sure that candidate espouses a clear, principled limited- government agenda.

Absent that, or an act of sovereign God, you & I are headed for a date with Hillary.
