Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or 'co-president' - and her seven years in the Senate. Here is a reminder of what that record includes: - As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Patrick Moynihan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize' anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.) - Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. She then chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.' - Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn. - Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign. - Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (âFilegateâ) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in 1996, both the drug use and Hillary's involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years. - In order to open âslotsâ in the White House for her friends the Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross mismanagement' and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours. - Another of Hil lary's assumed duties was directing the 'bimbo eruption squad' and scandal defense: ---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. ---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs. ---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all. ---- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury ---- And Bill was impeached by the House. ---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times under oath). - Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint. - Hill ary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support. - Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen. - In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the 'woman card' by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her. - Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.) - As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. She has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11. - Hillary's one notable vote; supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed. Quite a resumeâ. Sounds more like an organized crime familyâs rap sheet.
yes it does.. it sounds like the bush family too. or the mccain family... look into his wife's roots. bottom line.. you have to be part of organized crime to be elected. the american people are too stupid to vote for someone decent. thats why used car salesman remain scumbags... thats what people want. they want lemons and deception.
You raise many interesting details. How about a couple broad brush strokes about the Bush Administration? First, there is the Bush/Cheney/Iraq/Haliburton issue where, rather than opening contracts to tender, the US government gave business to Halliburton and had the audacity to deny that Halliburton received preferential treatment. How utterly convenient that the Iraq offensive clearly began by destroying Iraq's infrastructure which, oddly enough, Haliburton was right there to rebuild. (Serendipity, baby!) And then there was that notably peculiar ports deal with a UAE-based company that the Bush Administration hastily approved in secret without input from the Congress or state officials. You know, the one for which Bush threatened to veto any bill to hold up the agreement? Since you are an ostensibly informed poster, did those tidbits not give you any pause? (I could go on but, really, what would be the point?)
your party sold you out, they are 100% corrupt. they lied to you about everything and left you with a sociopathic, brain atrophied, globalist, deviant. enjoy !
Depressing indeed. I really don't care anymore. I'm going to start telling all my friends to vote for the worst candidate. Much easier to do and I might actually enjoy it. Seriously though, the majority do not care about any of the issues. I had a friend over the other day and during the GOP debates, he looked at Romney and said "I like this guy, he should be president". I asked him why and he responded by saying "I dunno, the guy looks presidential". Yea, he probably is the best looking candidate. It's the same with every other candidate. You've got blacks supporting obama cause he's black. Just look at his list of black celebrity donors. You've got women supporting hillary because she has a vagina, or that she's been in the white house before so that makes her a viable candidate. You've got christians supporting Huckabee cause he's a jesus freak. McCain is the straight shooter. Giuliani was the 9/11 hero. Ron Paul is
