54. The coup in the Honduras was not supported by the President

Wed Sep 17, 2014, 01:18 PM

He denounced it like most of the rest of the world but Hillary had other ideas, one of which was to send that Tower of Integrity Lanny Davis to make business deals to enrich further the rich and to rip Honduras down even further into the poverty and desperation elevator - Hillary contributed to the flow of children from Honduras to cross into America. She does care so deeply about women and children, after all.

The Clintons seem to have their own agenda and it is convenient to blame things that don't go well on Obama, but things that do go well, must be those savvy Clintons ideas, right?

Hillary Clinton denounces income inequality in populist speech [View all] pnwmom Sep 2014 OP

her actions have consistently belied this speech cali Sep 2014 #1

Yeah, right. pnwmom Sep 2014 #2

Big honking clue: I said HER actions. I didn't mention bill, did I? cali Sep 2014 #10

You don't think she's changed her views since 2005. I think the 2008 financial crisis changed them. pnwmom Sep 2014 #80

I see no evidence of that. Her push for fracking, her support for the TPP cali Sep 2014 #93

start here pipoman Sep 2014 #11

Hillary supported her husband as the First Lady. Would you expect her to oppose him publicly? pnwmom Sep 2014 #79

What indication has she ever made that she opposes pipoman Sep 2014 #94

TPP. TPPIP. nt magical thyme Sep 2014 #69

There is no TPP yet and she's no longer part of whatever negotiations are pnwmom Sep 2014 #78

I pay attention to her contradictions. cali Sep 2014 #12

fair rebuttal, but not everything in that record is a contradiction, and a lot is pro-labor, and she still_one Sep 2014 #24

Was not aware of some of this...thanks. randys1 Sep 2014 #76

I understand how one may not agree with everything, but I really disagree with the characterization still_one Sep 2014 #85

I think the speech is trickier than that hfojvt Sep 2014 #46

Hillary is a principle architect of the TTP which will hugely exacerbate income inequality cali Sep 2014 #3

Oh, that TPP that is still a work in progress, and of which you have no way of knowing pnwmom Sep 2014 #5

And why is that? pipoman Sep 2014 #14

Your post doesn't contain a single specific. She was an extremely popular Senator pnwmom Sep 2014 #30

Doesn't need specifics. I think every DUer will get that post, merrily Sep 2014 #34

The haters will pile on, but you have to admit this about Hilary... joeybee12 Sep 2014 #33

That's why she wears pantsuits. And is trying to rebrand. merrily Sep 2014 #35

Well, at least she didn't say it in one of her $200k paid speeches. n/t hughee99 Sep 2014 #50

Yes, it's such a shame that she's donating all that speech money to the Clinton Foundation. pnwmom Sep 2014 #51

You mean the speeches she's made at colleges over the last 18 months, right? hughee99 Sep 2014 #61

No, I was referring to ALL her speaking fees, not just to non-profits like colleges. pnwmom Sep 2014 #73

Did you read on? hughee99 Sep 2014 #75

Yeah, so? I don't think she's a liar, but we'll find out when she runs (if she does) and releases pnwmom Sep 2014 #77

I didn't see any direct quotes from Clinton in this article. hughee99 Sep 2014 #83

That is really sticking her neck out! LawDeeDah Sep 2014 #52

Does she sound like a Republican to you? Many people are insisting there's no difference pnwmom Sep 2014 #53

There is a huge difference between her and the GOP LawDeeDah Sep 2014 #62
