New Review: The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy's Dossier on Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton is as polarizing a political figure as any in Washington, if not the most in recent history. Many adored her husband President Bill Clinton such to the point that they were willing to forgive his sexual transgressions (rape, sexual harassment, etc.) and publicly lamented the limits of a two-term maximum presidency. While Hillary has been able to benefit somewhat from her husband’s rock star status in the political spectrum, she herself continues to affect people’s opinion of her one of two ways, blind devotion or feral hatred.

Ever since Mr. Clinton’s ascent to the governorship of Arkansas, the plan has always been the same; Hillary plays the supporting role long enough for Bill to move from the governor’s mansion in Little Rock to the White House on Capitol Hill and when he’s done then he plays the supporting role while she assumes the position of Commander-in-Chief. Two terms for Bill, two for Hillary has always been the plan and at least a hundred pundits and followers of the Clinton clan have affirmed this. As a now incumbent and moderately popular senator from the bluest of blue states, New York, she can and has commenced with her plan to become the first ever-female US president. Her candidacy is a foregone conclusion though her success is obviously (as of this writing) yet to be determined.

At this point there are so many books on just Hillary alone that one would be hard pressed to find an angle on this woman that hasn’t been explored. Journalists and insiders have written scores of books that are just straight biographies, books about her attacks on the internet, sleazy tell-alls that claim she was raped by her husband, her own autobiography, etc. To say that anyone wanting information on Hillary Clinton need only to spit inside of a bookstore and hit any number of books with plenty of said information would be an understatement. Yet Capitol Hill correspondent for Human Events, Amanda B. Carpenter has done the impossible and written an excellent book that examines the specific political reasons why Hillary shouldn’t become president without repeating ad nauseum the same information presented in previous tomes.

“The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy’s Dossier on Hillary Clinton,” is a brilliant secondary resource for all of Hillary’s recent political maneuverings, fundraising and legislating since become Senator of NY. In it explicitly and methodically presents the reader with the particulars of her career in the Senate thus far and more importantly, it details exactly why anybody in the right mind should not vote for this woman.

This is not meant to be a narrative story per se. As its rather tongue-in-cheek name implies, the point of it is to collect in one spot, documentation that shows the corruption Hillary Clinton has been responsible for in the past 6 plus years. It is chock full of citations from court documents, legal briefs, FEC filings, campaign documents and so on, with the emphasis on how she’s partnered up with Hollywood socialists in order to build up her presidential campaign war chest while simultaneously flouting the campaign finance reforms she claims to be for.

Carpenter also examines the relationship between the Clinton’s and China. Both Bill and Hillary are still doing business with the Chinese in the face of both campaign finance law and national security interests. Historians will note that it was Bill’s special relationship with the Chinese while he was president that made them the threat they are today. That threat has led recently to North Korea being able to test nuclear devices with impunity.

Carpenter does great job of keeping the book current with the latest Clintonian scams, especially those having to do with 9/11 and block grants that never were used appropriately and instead went into the pockets of Hillary’s corporate sponsors. This brings up the issue of Hillary well-fashioned image versus the actual reality. Hillary has been trying to paint herself as something of a populist because she believes that populism is what brings people to the polls. What Carpenter does rather well in this book is to systematically deconstruct that image and explain the truth about Hillary, which is that she, like her counterparts in the Republican Party is bought and paid for by corporate interests. Carpenter makes the case that if you are looking for a candidate that is relatively clean of lobby money then you should steer clear of Hillary Clinton as this woman is swimming in it alongside the Bush family as well as others.

This book is meant for those people whom are either on the fence and need solid evidence that this woman is not the right person to be Commander-in-Chief or already won’t vote for her but need the same evidence to cogently explain to others why she’s not a good choice for leader of the free world. Carpenter provides a solid case with a ton of evidence and very little editorializing. That is definitely one of the strong points of the book. Carpenter gives sparingly little of her own opinion and lets the facts, backed up with dozens of pages of photocopied documents, speak volumes for themselves. Unlike many other books closely related to this one, she stays clear of the sort of partisan hackery that fells other writers and just sticks with the facts. It is a welcome pleasure to say the least.

Given that Hillary is so hyper-vigilant about her image (because of more people knew the real Hillary Clinton she wouldn’t stand a chance at being elected President of the United States), this is definitely one of those books that Hillary Clinton will hate with a white-hot purple passion. To me, that is all the more reason why everyone with inkling to vote against this charlatan socialist should read, “The Vast Ring-Wing Conspiracy’s Dossier on Hillary Clinton,” by Amanda B. Carpenter. Once you’ve read it, at the very least you’ll have learned just how crooked financing a campaign can be these days.
