Hillary Clinton Thread

[Lily_Bernans]

sure …many of them … Cease fires between Israel and Hamas are much like quitting smoking … as Mark Twain said 'Quitting smoking is easy, I’ve done it a thousand times."

You’re entitled to your opinion, of course, but I don’t think brokering a ceasefire is quite like quitting smoking.

And please don’t say quitting smoking’s harder, because it’s not, though I know it’s hard. I’ve never taken it up - can’t stand it - but I know people who have quit.

I’m still waiting for the long list of accomplishments Hilary has done…I can’t seem to find any…

I know on the GOP side I’m always being told that I have to support the front runner if I think he’s better than Hillary.

Does it work the other way? Does a Dem have to support their frontrunner if they think she’s better than Trump?

 

[Lily_Bernans]

I believe she was also a Goldwater girl. I have not admired her once since she and Bill arrived on the scene so long ago. too many negatives. I am waiting for her Sally Field moment - “you love me! you really love me!”.

She was a Goldwater girl. You are right.

I honestly don’t think she’s got a bit of Sally Field in her. LOL

I don’t admire women who praise Margaret Sanger. And Hillary did.

So, getting a post graduate degree or giving a commencement speech makes you eligible to be president?

 

[VitaminC]

Do you mind if I ask what you consider an accomplishment for someone in politics?

I consider the negotiation of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas a tremendous accomplishment.

I agree.

 

[Lily_Bernans]

I guess I missed that too Seriously, that was in 2012 and Egypt actually brokered the cease fire deal.

On a side note, the LA Times is reporting the FBI is moving forward with their case by interviewing Hillary’s top aides and Hillary herself in the near future but their investigation could take several more weeks.

I always make a mistake when trying to do two things at the same time.

I copied the information for the 2008 ceasefire that was, indeed, brokered by Egypt; however, Hillary did broker one in 2012. Egypt brokered the ceasefire in 2008.

I’m glad the FBI is finally moving ahead! The sooner they do, the sooner this nonsense is put behind everyone.

Sorry for the mistake, but she did broker a ceasefire.

As much as being thrice divorced and having four businesses go bankrupt!

Seriously, we were talking about accomplishments, not qualifications for president, but yes, I do think a president should have a post-graduate degree, even though it’s not a legal qualification, but certainly more is required, like experience in foreign relations. As the world becomes increasingly complex, more and more is required of any elected official. I don’t see how anyone without a post-graduate degree could do the job. I’m not disparaging other First Ladies; they didn’t have political aspirations. When I moved from bachelor’s work into master’s work, I had a shock. Bachelor’s work was more like high school, whereas master’s work required a lot more critical thinking, and I graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. I wold not recommend it; it’s stressful trying to keep your grades up. PhD work is almost relaxing compared to master’s, at least in theology.

Secretary Clinton raised a daughter who has TWO Master’s and a PhD from Oxford, no less.

That’s not the worst reason I’ve heard. (Just don’t ask. )

I expected landslide wins for Bernie in Washington and Alaska, Sy, but not in Hawaii, Obama’s home state, yet there it is: 70%-30%. I kind of expect him to take Wisconsin. But I think Hillary will be strong in Pennsylvania, New York, and California. Huge number of delegates at stake there.

Happy Easter!

My Easter was a happy one and hope yours was as well. I was surprised by the margin in Hawaii too but I did expect Bernie to win there even though I do think Hillary will carry the state in the fall. Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, an Iraq war vet, endorsed Bernie and appeared in ads for him. She had resigned her post as vice-chair in the DNC, a post in which she was to remain neutral, in order to back him. I’d think WI should be a good state for Bernie but the latest WI poll I saw had Hillary in the lead. I agree PA looks good for Hillary and NY and CA right now does too.

You sure have posted quite a number of Hillary’s accomplishments, it is hard for me to pick just one favorite. Because health care is so important to me, I suppose I’d have to go with one of those. But every single one you’ve named has merit and value and importantance. Good list!

Thank you, Sy. I could post more of her accomplishments, but I’ll leave that for her supporters. It’s only right.

I saw the Tulsi Gabbard ad on CNN, and the ad Hillary ran, which was much softer. Bernie has momentum right now, and I think he’s going to do well in Wisconsin. He’s giving Hillary a run for her money she probably didn’t expect. I think it makes both of them better candidates and the party a better party.

What really surprises me is that Kasich is running neck-and-neck with Trump in some states. I never expected that. In Wisconsin, maybe, but not Pennsylvania. I honestly don’t think Trump will be the party’s nominee. I don’t think he’ll get the delegates, and won’t win the votes. I really haven’t much of an idea who will be.

Glad to hear you had a good Easter. I went to the Vigil Mass and worked most of today getting ready for school. Quiet day, beautiful weather.

They might well dump Trump after the first ballot but then they alienate his voters. I don’t see of any of their options as being great for them. I guess they will have to try to figure out what they think is their least worse case scenario.

 

[InigoMontoya]

Hillary Clinton is the first First Lady to hold a post-graduate degree, and the first woman to give a commencement speech at Wellesley College. As a female academic myself, I appreciate those accomplishments.

I appreciate Hillary Clinton more than I can say, and her accomplishments, like her or not, are just too numerous to list.

And Republicans, Hillary was president of the Young Republicans at Wellesley.

She is a woman to be admired and emulated. Her accomplishments will live on in history forever. I will be proud to call her my president.

Of all the candidates running for their respective parties presidential nominations, there are none whom I believe have accomplished more in the public and private sectors than Hillary Clinton. Certainly none of the other candidates can touch her on foreign relations. She is one of the most brilliant, tenacious, and cunning political players of this generation. If we were to head into a global war, there’s not a candidate from either party who I would rather have than her leading the fight. Honestly, I would even pick Hillary over Trump or Cruz in a back alley pub fight!

Unfortunately, not that it is a concern of hers, I often do not agree with her positions or visions for our country, her methodology, and lastly I feel that trust issues (some unjustly others do to her ego) will forever haunt her.

 

[CaptFun]

I agree.

As an accomplishment … negotiating that “ceasefire” – as one of Hillary’s best accomplishments … well …

Hamas Agrees to Extend Ceasefire, Then Breaks It—Again

by TheTower.org Staff | 08.14.14 10:22 am]

Terrorists fired eight rockets from Hamas-controlled Gaza at Israeli towns and cities shortly before the end of the 72 hour truce yesterday and after Hamas had already agreed to extend the ceasefire by five days. It was the last in the long list of consecutive ceasefires in the past six weeks that Hamas had unilaterally violated.

By late Tuesday, the armed wing of Hamas – the Qassam Brigades – said on its website that it had fired 29 rockets into Israel in 20 minutes.

Hillary’s Worst Crime Was Against the ‘Filmmaker’
By Jack Cashill

It would be as ethically bankrupt for the Democrats to nominate Hillary Clinton after Benghazi as it would have been for the Republicans to nominate Richard Nixon after the Watergate hearings.

More bankrupt actually. No one died at Watergate, and the only people who went to prison were the ones who committed the crimes. At Benghazi, of course, four Americans died, and the only American who went to prison did so to help Hillary sell a lie.

Before Hillary’s testimony Thursday in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, her supporters could take some comfort in thinking that there had been genuine confusion about the cause of the assault on the Benghazi consulate.

After all, as Ohio Republican Jim Jordan made clear, it was Hillary who first introduced the narrative that an anti-Muslim video inspired the attack. “It started with you, Madame Secretary," said Jordan.

“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," said Clinton in a release posted on the evening of September 11. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. . . . But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.”

To be sure, this was the same Hillary Clinton who, a year earlier, happily applauded Broadway’s “Book of Mormon,” a scandalously potty-mouthed riff on the Mormon religion with charming lyrics like (too dirty for me to post … but the article cites the passage with ***s bleeping out the worst expetives).

americanthinker.com/articles/2015/10/hillarys_worst_crime_was_against_the_filmmaker.html

color highlights are mine. Given her high toned religious comment above, can we expect her (at long last) to denounce the kind of intentional denigration on Catholic religious beliefs inherent in the Obama Administration’s strong-arming Catholic Universities and hospitals like the one run by the Little Sisters of the Poor (to get them to set their faith aside to enforce the parts of the “health care” mandates that contradict their religious beliefs)? :nope: < is my guess. Love to be wrong about THAT one though.

Made me think of a great movie quote from Bill Murray -

pinterest.com/hantson/favorite-movies/ < his Dalai Lama golf story

Caddyshack- Carl Speckler: So we finish the 18th and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say,

“Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.”

And he says,

"Oh, uh, there won’t be any money,

but

when you die,

on your deathbed,

you will receive

total consciousness.

"

So I got that goin’ for me,

which is nice."

I will agree with you she is cunning - like a fox! I would not want her in charge if there were to be a global war.

 

[Tomdstone]

And number six brings me to her China speech on women’s rights.

Is that the speech where Hillary demands that people change their religious beliefs? I would not be in favor of requiring people to change their religious beliefs so that they can be compatible with the beliefs of Hillary and Bill.
“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth,…" Clinton said.
…“And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed."

 

[Lily_Bernans]

I will agree with you she is cunning - like a fox! I would not want her in charge if there were to be a global war.

As much as I like Bernie, I have to say that Hillary would be a lot better during a war.

I’m not saying there aren’t good and capable Republicans; there are, but they aren’t running for president this year.

 

[Ridgerunner]

How did her war on Libya work out?
