Gonzalez: Hillary Clinton's policy was a Latin American crime story

Hillary Clinton displayed a sweeping grasp of federal policy at the Daily News Editorial Board on Saturday.

Touting her plan to rebuild America’s infrastructure, Clinton said:

“Look, I’m excited about this stuff. I’m kind of a wonky person.”

But I kept thinking of the big gap between Clinton’s words and actions that her own emails reveal — especially toward Latin America.

When my turn came for a question, I asked about her role as secretary of state during the 2009 military coup in Honduras — a country from which so many children and mothers have fled to the U.S. of late to escape massive political and gang violence.

Before the coup, Honduras was at least making progress. Its democratically elected president, Manuel Zelaya, had instituted free public education for all, decreed a reduction in sky-high bank interest, and sharply raised the minimum wage.
...
But it’s not just Honduras. There’s also Colombia.

During the 2008 presidential race, both Clinton and Barack Obama vowed to block the Colombia Free Trade agreement President George W. Bush had negotiated.

They specifically condemned Colombia’s notorious history of repressing trade unionists.

But Clinton emails released this year show that in 2011, she quietly lobbied members of Congress to approve the Colombia pact.

In one email, she boasted of telling a key lawmaker from Michigan that “at the rate we were going, Colombian workers were going to end up (with) the same or better rights than workers in Wisconsin and Indiana and, maybe even Michigan.”

Last year, the AFL-CIO reported 2,000 incidents of violence and threats against Colombian trade union leaders — including 105 killings — during the trade agreement’s first four years.

Not exactly Michigan’s labor climate.

Hand it to Hillary, though. She sure is wonky.

I sure hope Bernie starts talking about his track record

as mayor, congressman, senator. Bills introduced, amendments to bills introduced (even if failed) and examples of bi-partisan bills he was instrumental in where he 'won'.

Just listening to some MSM, and its getting me quite frustrating hearing them repeat the talking point that Hillary has a better track record.

She's late to the party again - Pope already recognizes aliens!

Criminal Justice reform and decriminalization of marijuana

With the latest controversy surrounding Bill Clinton, I wonder again how criminal justice reform and more pointedly, mass incarceration can be seriously addressed without decriminalizing marijuana.

How does Hillary plan on proceeding?
