Clinton's aversion to "elite opinion"...
"I think we've been for the last seven years seeing a tremendous amount of government power and elite opinion behind policies that haven't worked well for hard working Americans," she said.

Hmmm... I wonder if this aversion to "elite opinion" was the reason she declined to read the NIE report prior to greenlighting Dubya's Iraq adventure.

She sure showed those ivory tower intelligence eggheads who was boss!

3. Can you imagine Hillary circa "the Dark ages"
"Those elitists want us to believe that we should invest in 'sanitation' and 'cleanliness' to fight disease".

7. Hillary's a multi-millionaire who has traveled in a security bubble for 16 years.
John McCain's wife owns eight houses.

But the black guy's the elitist. Everyone's got that straight, right? ;-)
