"BILL CLINTON " LEAVES TRUTH OUT OF
HILLARY'S BIOGRAPHY
See Bill's "commercial" at:
www.hillaryclinton..com
<http://www.hillaryclinton.com/>
Check out Bill Clinton's syrupy five minute ad for Hillary. He introduces the commercial by saying
that he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background. His version of
her biography is about as reliable as if it appeared
in Pravda ! ? ??
So, since I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I wanted to make a few corrections;
Bill says; "Hillary" never wanted to run for public office, but she did want to work at public service.
The facts are: When "Bill" was considering not running for another term as Governor of Arkansas
in 1990, Hillary said she would run if he didn't.
She and Bill even had me take two surveys to assess her chances of winning.The conclusion was that she couldn't win because people would just see her as a seat warmer for when Bill came back licking his wounds after losing for president. So she didn't run. Bill did and won. But there is no question she had her eye on public office, as opposed to service, long ago.
Bill says: In law school "Hillary" worked on legal services for the poor.
The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.
Bill says; "Hillary" spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids.
The facts are: "Hillary" interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.
Bill says; "Hillary" could have written her own
job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative
job offers.
The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill
was already teaching there. She then joined the prestigious Rose Law Firm after Bill became Attorney General and made her partner after he was elected Governor.
Bill says: President "Carter" appointed "Hillary"
to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman.
The facts are: The appointment was in exchange
for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary became chairman in
a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.
Bill says: "Hillary" served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital.
The facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-mart board of directors, for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.
Bill says: "Hillary" didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance.
The facts are: "Hillary" had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott; I helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.
Bill says: "Hillary" was the face of America all over the world.
The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that "Hillary" was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.
Bill says: "Hillary" was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for children's and women's issues.
The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on court
houses and post offices, she has passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national park in Puerto Rico . A second provided respite care for family members helping their relatives through Alzheimer's and other conditions.
The third was a routine bills to aid 9-11 victims and
the fourth was for responders which were sponsored by the entire NY delegation.
Here is what bothers me more than anything else about "Hillary Clinton." She has done everything possible to "weaken the President" and our country (that's you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.
(1) She wants to close GITMO and move the
combatants to the USA where they would
have access to our legal system.
(2) She wants to eliminate the monitoring of
all suspected Al Qeada phone calls to/from
the USA .
(3) She wants to grant constitutional rights to
enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.
(4) She wants to eliminate the monitoring of
money transfers between suspected Al Qeada
cells and supporters in the USA .
(5) She wants to eliminate types of interrogation
tactics used by the military and C I A where
coercion might be used when questioning
known terrorists even though such tactics
might save American lives.
I can't think of a single bill "Hillary" has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the War on Terror. But, I can think of a lot of comments she has made that weakens our country & makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us ....... She goes hand in hand with the A.C.L.U. on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.
She is a disaster for all Americans
