Sun Apr 3, 2016, 06:05 AM
Apr 2016

But other than that, she has had no leg up.

RIGHT!

My advice is to keep up that narrative. She gets to be be POTUS because her husband was one. Of course, that's the same reason why she was a US Senator and a SOS.

Hillary is smart, but she unfortunately (like her husband) has many ethical failings. Apparently that runs in the family as well.

I voted for Bernie in the MI primary -- go MI, Bernie upset! I despise Hillary Clinton. The only thing that might save her is that the GOP candidates are so odious that voters just might ignore her negatives and decide that she is not as odious as what the GOP is offering.

The thing is, I think that Hillary Clinton loses to the GOP in November and Bernie would win.

As a House member, Sanders authored legislation in 2002 that would have forbidden Export-Import Bank support from going to corporations that lay off more U.S. workers than foreign workers. Sanders argued that U.S. taxpayers were effectively subsidizing the offshoring of American jobs, and he noted that companies like General Electric were receiving Export-Import support even as the company shipped jobs overseas. A majority of House Democrats voted for Sanders' provision to rein in the bank, and Sanders later voted against reauthorizing the bank along with 26 Democrats.

Huh? What might they be. I am trying to think about that and I somehow cannot come up with many, if any.

Please. Tell us all about Bernie's ethical failures. Then, we will air the Clintons'.

I love Big Dawg. He's never been my top preference for POTUS, but he's done Dems a lot of good, especially when Dean was DNC chair. However, he also done a whole lot of bad. Hillary Clinton's political rising is one of them. Both of them's support for third way is a huge part of it.

There is no third way. Either one support Democratic principles or one does not. Bernie does and Hillary clearly does not. "No we can't!" she says.

Bernie is the one in the TANK with KOCH


Bernie Sanders was the ONLY liberal person who Voted Against Ex-Im Bank. Very puzzling since this is not a vote any democrat would ever make. Well it is a vote that benefits the KOCH BROTHERS who in turn gave money to Sanders Campaign.

http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-votes-against-ex-im-bank



Not only did the WaPo's fact checker give BS three Pinocchios, FactCheck.org also

provided much of the same analysis and conclusion:

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/12/clinton-and-fossil-fuel-money/

"...The $160,000 (as of 12/15) Clinton’s campaign has received from the oil and gas industry comes entirely from oil and gas company employees (her campaign also received $398,000 from oil and gas employees during the 2008 campaign — fifth highest among the presidential candidates). These employees could be executives or merely rank-and-file employees of an oil or gas company. Although the tally includes PAC donations, no PACs tied to the oil and gas industry have donated to the Clinton 2016 campaign, researchers at the Center for Responsive Politics told us."

Here is the WaPo fact checker's column from today:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/04/02/fact-checking-the-clinton-sanders-spat-over-big-oil-contributions/

15. The reason she became a Senator in NY
Sun Apr 3, 2016, 07:25 AM
Apr 2016

is because Daniel Patrick Moynihan anointed her to take his place. He died, and she won a special election. This is not because people of NY were demanding her, but DPM was a beloved and very powerful politician. There were cries of carpet bagger at the time. She ran for senate unopposed and was up against a greenhorn Republican (Rick Lazio) when she won. I think she knows where she stands here and she should be nervous.

...on the streets of New York City. I was in my early 20s and had never seen that before.

I actually took a 20 out and was going to play. It looked easy.

After a while, I realized the guy that kept winning was really a 'shill' (a compatriot of the 'dealer.')

As was most of the crowd around me.

As I broke free of the scene, I felt that weird feeling that I almost got 'had.'

I felt the same way as a New York voter when Hillary kept becoming Senator.

The slacker fry-cook at Burger King that thought himself kind to "upgrade" my veggieburger with some bacon...that guy has worked harder to get where he is in life than Hillary has.

Hillary has consistently gotten it handed to her off Bill's accomplishments. Her entire political career owes itself to Bill having been President, not her own accomplishments.

She's Chance the Gardener.

25. I actually don't care what her sex or gender is.
Sun Apr 3, 2016, 03:41 PM

(A brief reminder that I'm gender-fluid. There are days when I'm girlier than Hillary has ever been; flouncing about in my nylon-and-coat-hanger homemade fairy-wings, batik-print sarong, on-point-as-fsck makeup, and NOW tee-shirt like some sort of gender-party pixie. Accusing me of sexism is immoderately hilarious.)

She is where she is today because she was boosted into the national spotlight by Bill's presidency. When Bill was elected, she wasn't a viable candidate for any political office outside of the state of Arkansas and possibly even in Arkansas. She got the name recognition to run for the US Senate from being First Lady. She got the recognition and cache to run for President and be appointed Sec. of State from her time in the Senate. If she'd never been First Lady, it's a safe wager she'd never have risen above being a partner of a moderately-prestigious Little Rock law-firm on her own merits. There are a lot of equally or more talented female politicians that have never even come close to having their candidacy for the Presidency taken seriously.

It's not unfair to say she's been handed a political career on account of having been First Lady; it's patently absurd to assume or assert that she has not.

"When Hillary Clinton offered her full-throated support for the Export-Import Bank during Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate, a vast majority of viewers were likely unaware that some of the largest recipients of subsidies from the federal agency are major Clinton Foundation donors.

Boeing, General Electric, ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Emirates Airline, and others have received billions of dollars in handouts from Ex-Im. They’ve also contributed massively to the Clinton Foundation and other Clinton-related endeavors. Companies like Bechtel Corp. have ties to the Clintons through Podesta Group, a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm.

They must have worked up quite a lather.

Based on Bernie's formative experience with the Brooklyn Dodgers moving to Los Angeles, I am surprised his platform doesn't include a constitutional amendment to block cities and states from bidding each other to see who can offer the biggest incentives to bring in professional sports franchises and businesses. It is a way to pit cities and states against each other in a game of prisoner's dilemma to enrich the 0.1% who own these teams and businesses (and the scummy relocation consultant industry) with the 99.9% paying for it. d enough anymore.
