If
you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in
which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some
things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware as I was there
for most of their presidency and know them better than just about
anyone. I offer a few corrections.
Bill says: "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."
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.
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."
Facts
are: She flunked the D.C. bar exam, 'Yes', flunked it, it is a matter
of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in
Arkansas , 'None', and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law
School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did
not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas
Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected
Arkansas Governor.
Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its Chairman."
Facts are:
The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his
1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a
coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be
chairman.
Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."
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."
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 know; 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." (LOL)
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."
Facts are:
Other than totally meaningless legislation like changing the names on
courthouses 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 or other conditions. And two were routine bills to
aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the entire N.Y.
delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize
Woodstock .
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 suspected Al Qaeda 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 Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA .
5.
She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the
Military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known
terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.
One cannot 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, one can think of a lot of comments she
has made that weaken our Country and makes it a more dangerous situation
for all of us. Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far
too many issues where common sense is abandoned.
Share this with everyone you know, ask them to prove Dick Morris wrong.
Think about it - he's (Dick Morris) said all of this openly, thus if he
were not truthful he'd be liable for 'Defamation of Character' !
And you better believe Hillary would sue him. Her winning in 2020 means the final death knell for America! Her whole public life has been a LIE.
