Just in case you may think Hillary would make a good president.
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 Pat Moynahan, 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, and then she 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 When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.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 (Filegate) 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 in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary' 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 'slots' in the White House for her friends the Harry 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 Hillary'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.
- Hillary 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 resume`, isn't it? Sounds more like an organized crime family..
Does it really matter? After Super Tuesday it will probably be Obama. While Edwards may be Attorney General, Hillary will most likely fade into obscurity. I doubt she'll even run for Senator again and if she did, it's questionable whether NY would vote her in again.

I do not understand how ANY woman could admire her. The things she did to hurt the women that Bill had affairs with are appalling.

TBV, That has alwaysn been a point of curiosity for me. I cannot for the life of me understand how any modern, sophisticated woman could ever support her.
wow AA, looks like a good video, when Obama and Ann Coulter agree on something, look out

I'm going to buy it. It seems many of prominence across party lines are in agreement, but Morris worked with the Clintons....If anyone knows them, its him.
actually the right thinks Hillary is more beatable, so eliminate Obama in the primaries... did Kennedy really give him the kiss of death with a wink to Hillary
Ruth, I have no idea where you're getting that. Though I'm a conservative (not a Republican), I think Obama is unbeatable (unless they can resurrect Ronald Reagan from the grave).
McCain is probably the Republican candidate. He's got so much baggage, not to mention he's old and pro-war. Most forget that he was also part of the Keating Five and the S & L scandal of the late eighties. But come election time with the foreclosure crisis, if he's the candidate, the Democrats would be nuts to not make hay with it.
I think you are misreading. I think the beatable one is HILLARY, and for that reason alone, I hope she is the nominee. I know a LOT of democrats who say they will never vote for her.

TBV, you said it before I could. Anyone who thinks the hedonistic Clinton kleptocracy already squandered enough opportunities during 8 years of inherited prosperity and peace brought by globalization, computerization, the fall of the Soviet empire, and Reagan, should vote for Hillary. For her to win the election, she would have to face McCain AND orchestrate an election rigging far beyond the "Visas for votes" scams California democrats organized during Clinton's first two terms.
McCain is beatable, but the fact that he stands by totally unpopular principles (War and Immigration reform) and is still able to hold his head up shows he is a leader and he is the anti-Clinton.
(Clinton had no principles, he used polls instead)
TBV knows a lot of democrats that won't vote for Hillary.........hmm. I'm willing to bet I know many, many more democrats than TBV and they are basically split between the two-as polls in WI show- and ALL the dems I know will vote for whomever wins the domination. Of course I only know about 100 or so Dems.....so, unless TBV works at the state dem party headquarters I really doubt she knows more.
