I had always felt that there was something unwholesome about the Clintons.  In fact, my unease was not caused in any way by the stream of allegations concerning sexual and financial improprieties made over the years by political opponents, many of whom it should be said, had an axe to grind.  Rather, it was the relentless, unnatural thirst for power that I found and still find, repulsive.

Hillary Clinton in particular presents as being a ruthless, purely political being, devoid of common, ordinary humanity who displays emotion only when it is politically expedient to do so.  Andrew Sullivan of The Sunday Times sums up more colourfully.

“The Clintons have always had a touch of the zombies about them: unkillable, they move relentlessly forward, propelled by a bloodlust  for Republicans or uppity Democrats who dare to question their supremacy.  You can't escape; you can't hide; and you can't win.”

And,

“For the Clintons, all Democrats who oppose them are . . . Republicans.  And all Republicans are evil.   And evil means that anything the Clintons do in self-defence is excusable - even playing the race card, and the Muslim card, and the gender card, and every sleazy gambit that the politics of fear can come up with.  This is how they have arrested the Obama juggernaut.  It's the only game they know how to play.”
