Comments on: Clinton's Experience Is Debated

Washington Post: While Not A Foreign Crisis Player, She Carried U.S. Message

This goes so show once again Sen. Clinton''''s assumption that she''''s entitled to the White House has no bounds.

Posted by Jackjones9 at 02:43 PM : Mar 21, 2008

She is participating in the campaign, primary, and general election process just like any other candidate. She has said she will support whoever the Democratic candidate is. This in no way equates to her feeling "entitled". That''s just your effort to discredit her.

She was behind that whole Rev. Wright thing,

If you have evidence of this, please POST it. If you don''t, then you''re just making it up in an effort to discredit Senator Clinton. I have not seen anyone else claim that she is behind this fiasco. But even if she were, the facts about Rev. Wright and Obama''s relation to him needed to be known by the public.

Lie candidly about her role in the Ireland peace accord,

Posted by Jackjones9 at 02:49 PM : Mar 21, 2008

She did not lie about her role. Several participants have confirmed that she did indeed play a significant role. She never claimed or implied the peace accords could never have happened without her. Please get your facts straight.

Lie straight faced to the voters of Ohio about her support and vigorous push for NAFTA,

Posted by Jackjones9 at 02:45 PM : Mar 21, 2008

David Gergen and other Clinton advisors who were there in the early 1990s have said that Hillary ALWAYS had reservations about NAFTA. She has not lied about it; she''s said that it has been partially good and partially bad, i.e., it needs to be fixed. Please get your facts straight.

However she seems to have miscalculated in terms of Florida and Michigan, she actually participated in going around the rules set in place by the DNC when she agreed to keep her name on the ballots

Posted by Jackjones9 at 02:43 PM : Mar 21, 2008

Obama was on the ballot in Florida. Please get your facts straight.

schedules contain no evidence that Clinton was at the table during major national security decisions. They do not list her as attending National Security Council meetings or joining briefings in the Situation Room.

She did not have a national security clearance.


And the documents make clear that at moments of major crisis, Clinton was often busy with her own agenda.



DUH!!!!! Typical Clinton whitewash and doublespeak. She has nothing to stand on except that she was ''in the White House''...as was Monica...and of the two, Monica probably has more grounds for claiming ''quality time spent'' under Bill.

If Hillary can loan 5 million dollars to her campaign then surely the voters have a right to know the source of her funding.

Why wont Hillary release her tax returns? PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO HIDE DON%u2019T USUALLY HIDE !!
The main excuse we''ve gotten so far is that Hillary Clinton just has too much on her plate. "I''m a little busy right now," she said during the Ohio debate. "I hardly have time to sleep. But I will certainly work toward releasing, and we will get that done and in the public domain."
That was three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, Howard Wolfson promised the returns would be released "on or around April 15." But weren''t the returns completed and filed a long time ago? Doesn''t Clinton''s accountant have time to print them out and make some copies (note to Clinton''s accountant: many Kinko''s are open 24 hours).

In short, it''s well past time for Hillary Clinton to be as "vetted" as she claims to already be -- and to have this vetting done now by Democratic voters rather than later by GOP hit squads. She needs to live up to the standard she laid out for Rick Lazio, the opponent in her 2000 Senate race. At that time, she hypocritically said it was "frankly disturbing" that Lazio was holding back on releasing his tax returns and she even sent a staffer dressed as Uncle Sam to taunt him during campaign stops.
What a difference eight years -- and tens of millions of dollars (some of them from questionable Arab deals) -- can make.

Yes, we all want to know how Iran is arming Al-Qaeda. This Republican scare tactic is missing the pandering aspect to the Religious Right--that says God told the president to invade Iraq. Since McCain and Bush have Al-Qaeda role in Iran clarified, next would be the God decision to go. Posted by finewoven at 12:29 PM : Mar 21, 2008

My response: You just have a jump on events, that''s all! We''re liking to see this pandering & pushing the fear button this Fall before the election! :)

I''ll answer my own question posed earlier:-

Hillary Clinton and the other shameful Dems voted to attack Iraq purely for political reasons, she wanted to side with the bully in case the bully turned on her, in doing so, she and the others brought shame to America.

Sen. Obama has more integrity in his little finger than Hillary and all those who would seek to besmirch his name by their racist tactics.

I don''t think we want to bring her ex-con husband back to the White House. The first thing he would want to do is look over the new crop of interns. He has been stripped of his license to practice law. I don''t think that, as a convicted felon, he could even vote for Hillary. Bill Clinton as "co-president" would be a disaster.
