Hillary's qualifications. And do not get me wrong, I am NO fan of either
Barack Obama, John McCain or Mike Huckabee. It will matter who Texans
vote for in the presidential primaries & I pray you will take that
responsibility very seriously.
Hillarys Resume
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had to be withdrawn.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 (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 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 slots 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 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.
And on October 11, 1978, Hillary Clinton, with an annual income of
$25,000, opened a commodity-futures account with a deposit of $1,000.
Ten months later she had racked up $99,541 in profits, a spectacular
10,000 per cent return on her initial investment. Among the community
of experts, there is general agreement that between 75 percent and 90
percent of commodity players lose. And NO ONE turns $1,000 into
$100,000...unless you're name is Hillary Clinton.
Quite a resume. Sounds more like an organized crime familys rap
sheet.
