Title: What even makes Hilary Clinton qualified to be a poltician of any sort?
Post by: Cap on February 10, 2007, 10:22:58 PM
Honestly, I mean what does it say about the people of NY?  Now people want her to be President.  Seriously now people think she is qualified to be President?  Maybe someone should tell her to raise, not lower, police and fire department pay.  That'll show she has some smarts by taking care of the people that protect citizens.

I have seriously despised Hilary from day one.  She's condescending, treats people like commodoties, is phony, power-hungry, etc.

But, she's lived through 8 years of the White House and 6 as a Senator, so she has seen firsthand how to run a nation and handle crisii, and she has worked the last 6 years to establish her senate relationships she needs when prez.

Above all - and as I bashed the man for 8 years, it hurts to say this - she brings with her Bill Clinton, an ex-president who looks like 24 ct gold, after the mess Bush has made.   Clinton spent 8 years in teh same mess Bush 41 and 43 did - he just managed not to start wars over it.

The US' credibility is shot.  Absolutely.  You're uneducated if you argue it's not, and you're stupid if you believe it doesn't matter.  it matters a lot.  Clinton might actually restore that, as world leaders anxious to talk to us might see her as the opposite of Bush.

I'm really sad writing this.  I've voted Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush in my lifetime.  I believe that we need to restore some balance to the nation, and a dem would do that.

I believe a Dem will raise our taxes, fuck up the illegal immgration issue even more and generally waste our money.  I think around the world we are despised, no revelation there.  However, a woman president like her will keep up that trend.  With the likely conflicts with NK, Iran and China I doubt she will get the job done as effectively as needed.

Excellent post, I don't think the US credibility is shot, but it has taken a beating and the Bush administration couldn't really have done worse if they started out with a blueprint to fail.

It's a lock a Dem will be President in '08 and it's even more of a lock that Hillary will soundly defeat any challengers.

1) Dems will raise taxes on the rich first, and by a much larger total % of total income.  Bush and the repubs have given great breaks to corps and top earners which hilary will end.  That stigma of "more taxes" should be a candle in the sun compared to the 180 MILLION we're spending each day in iraq.  The US is seriously spending too much money.

2. How can the dems fk up the illegal immigration issue more?  We have an open border now.  Will they make it MORE open?  Come on dude.  Immigration is a distraction issue, the nation needs the labor, and bush has had 6 years to fix the border and hasn't done sheeeeit.  

Hilary is calling for negotiations with our enemies.  Bush refuses it.  I can't see you arguing "she'll likely keep that trend" when she'll talk and they wont.

The rest of the world sees us taking down one nation at a time for resources.  They're not dumb.  Putin just told the world that Bush is taking over one nation at a time.  You think they don't want hilary?  They're PRAYING for a Clinton in the white house.  We had no major wars on his dime.  We're looking at one every 3 years with Bush :(

As you may know, I follow the conspiracy boards :)  

911 issue is blowing up worldwide.  it's in london and other euro papers at least once a week, Loose change is on tv, and google video has loose change as #1 watched in many of those nations, with 100,000s a week seeing it.

What does this mean? It means tthose govts are attempting to "let the cat out of the bag" by letting their media cover it.  They're trying to turn their citizens against america.  Huge shift there - the govts had been just 'playing along' in the name of security.  Suddenly tho - we have a hit list and many fear they're on it.  Jordan (INCREDIBLE strategic position for Israel) just told us they're building nukes.  They don't want us moving in there to crush lebanon to the sea in 5 years.

The world knows we attacked ourselves, and they're seeing WHY now.  We have a checklist and it's moving along nicely.  Russia calling us out.  China shooting down a Sat.  Everyone dropped the dollar last year (Rus, China, malasia!)

We have a horrible rep and they are backing away from us.  It's bad.

I don't follow.  Bush has started wars and lied to us.  Hilary hasn't done anything.  Bill was a scumbag, but kept us out of war and the econonmy was good.  The US is going into serious debt right now as you know.

Do you thing by changing things, she'll make things WORSE?

No Hillary... No Hillary... :P  But I don't think you need to have been prepared to be a politician.  Joe who owns the local garage would make a better politician more often than some wealthy brat groomed to rule who graduated from Yale.  If Joe has a good showing with his first office held, then he's got something to stand on.  Hillary is a senator... what has the bitch done? If it's good, I can't take that away, but her attitude still sucks...  eh... so does the attitude of most senators... show me one who comes across less arrogant... There may be a few but most of them are elitist assholes.

Hilary is EXTREMELY accomplished and was the driving force behind Clinton's ascent to the presidency.
That is a well established fact, known by both those who applaud her, as well as her detractors.
From day 1, hilary's desire to be in the oval office was known, and it was for this reason she has been a favourite target of the right, ...because they know she has the formidable will to achieve it.

Hilary started her life as a right wing conservative Republican in the northern suburbs of Illinois. Along the line, sometime in highschool, her teacher made an avowed Democrat argue a Republican platform against Hilary, and made Hilary, then a republican, debate the Democratic platform against her opponent. Somewhere along the line, her eyes opened. She came from an era when the only way a woman could enter the White house, was as a spouse. Even Bill Clinton's detractors within the Democratic party viewed Hilary as their greatest asset because they knew Hilary would keep Bill to the left.

Don't discount her because she's ambitious. The very qualities for which she is disparaged, are the very same qualities applauded in male candidates. I don't think she could do any worse than Bush, in fact, I think she would turn sorely needed attention to America's mounting domestic issues and most likely solve quite a few of them.

I know she comes across as a cold, cold woman, ...but I believe that's the public face and does not mirror the real Hilary. I once saw her on the Oprah show, and I was blown away by the warmth she exuded. It was truly a glimpse into the woman herself, and it left me with the distinct impression the woman has one hell of a heart. Having a head of state with both a heart and a brain, and the ability to use both simultaneously is not a bad thing. It would most certainly be a breath of fresh air after living through 8 yrs of a President with neither.

I wasn't refering to the '92 presidential race, ...I meant the entire journey... Bill's ascent up the ladder.
She's also a skilled money mgr. as well having turned a $1,000 investment into $100,000. Considering the state of the US economy, having someone in the Oval office with fiscal sense can only be a good thing.

You are a cretin for even posing that question, but 240 is Back sufficiently answered it.  I suppose you thought Bush was accomplished enough to inspire confidence.  Bush was recently judged by several historians as one of, if not the worst U.S. president.

Yes, taxes will be raised.  As they should be.  They never should have been cut.  Or do you honestly think that a responsible leader cuts taxes during war and runs up the biggest debt it the county’s history only to pass on the debt for future generations?



But, she's lived through 8 years of the White House and 6 as a Senator, so she has seen firsthand how to run a nation and handle crisii, and she has worked the last 6 years to establish her senate relationships she needs when prez.

Your boy Clinton went into Kosovo so he wasn't innocent and his dumb ass didn't kill Osama when he had the chance.

Dems could very easily raise taxes and spend it on the fucking illegals, even more so than now.  It is possible.  If they are gonna pull troops (which they probably should) maybe the new president will send in mercs to start offing people for us.

I think she will be worse for this country.  Cutting police and fire pay shows she is no better than any other Dems.  That money will likely go to those who don't work to earn their damn money.

You shoulda seen me bashing Clinton back then dude.  I seriously couldn't stand him.  But if you look at the bigger trends - economy and war - you see something big.  Kosovo was a small war event - we got in and out then turned over the effort to the UN.  What did Bush do after taking baghdad in a month? He REFUSED the UN's offer to be the maintenance force.  Those 3000 that have died since we "won" - those could have been UN forces.  Bush told them no thanks. 


Dems could very easily raise taxes and spend it on the fucking illegals, even more so than now.  It is possible.  If they are gonna pull troops (which they probably should) maybe the new president will send in mercs to start offing people for us.

Dems "COULD"?  You're reaching now, bro.  Dems "COULD" spend the rent money on magic beans.  I'm talking about the bad chioces Bush HAS made, and you're playing hypotheticals.  And we already have the mercs there dude.  Bush just won't pull our troops from the cities because that would mean less $ spent on war costs, and Bush is heavily influenced by defense contractors.  That $180 mil a day we're spending makes some people very rich.

I think she will be worse for this country.  Cutting police and fire pay shows she is no better than any other Dems.  That money will likely go to those who don't work to earn their damn money.

Likely?   Again, you're creating potential scenarios.  And no offense, but if the worst thing she's done in the last  years is "lower police pay", I'm okay with that.  Compared to "start 2 or 3 wars based on lies", Hilary isn't so bad.  Obviously I don't like her.  But she is a better alternative for turning around the negative slide we're on.

-Thankfully, Hillary consistently receives very high negatives from large portions of the populace, so her chances of running let alone winning aren't great. ;D High visceral, negative reactions because even moderate, reasonable political commentators like Andrew Sullivan who should normally be in her camp finds her skin-crawlingly repugnant and say so without hesitation.

-If she won, it would basically amount to two (2) families controlling the presidency over the last two decades. Pathetic..this is the best this country can come up with?

-I don't think she's at all qualified to be a good leader.

You're all over the place here.

Clinton is a big fat liar.  Everyone knows there.  Where did I say he wasn't?  Sounds like you're trying to turn a debate on the Bush past vs. hilary future, into a "conspiracy theorists who defends clinton who sucks" attack. 

Let's talk about WHAT HAS HAPPENED :)  Bush has fucked things up.  Period.  We're losing two wars in nations where we own the govt.  That's embarassing.  We're spending $180m a day on war borrowing.  But you're bothered more about "Will hilary maybe lower police pay?"  Poor argument.

I AM a republican.  I voted for both Bush's and one Dole in the presidential elections, so it really has taken a lot for me to admit my party currently has messed things up bigtime.  I've voted repub my entire life, but YOU have the audacity to say I'm not one, because I don't back the current hijacking of the party?  Sounds like you don't understand the tenets of the party.  When I was running mock school debates in the 8th grade (Bush vs Dukakis), you were prob still in training pants :)  SO I know my party.  And Bush isn't it :(

We are losing wars because of how we are fighting them.  Period.  Please don't try and act like you have more knowledge on that subject because you will lose.  We are not an occupying force and that is why were losing.  We send in 18 year old Marines to do a job that Mercs and Spec Ops should be doing with limited Conventional Forces.  Having Mercs guard our interests, whatever they are, (oil, Democracy, etc) would be more cost efficient and the bleeding hearts could shut up.  We would not be fighting Al Qeada in the deserts right now if it wasn't for Mr. Clinton.

Was gonna point out the Reagan / Bush 41 connection, but you beat me to it.

When the Reagan left office, his buddies bought him a home in BelAir. The address was 666.
We all thought it was pretty appropriate at the time. They later petitioned the city to change the number to 665.

First of all answer in one post.

Now....we cannot sustain an occupational force because 18 year olds are not trained for it.

Paying Mercs, who have battle experience (most ex Spec Ops) and want to kill and are good at it is better than losing a bunch of undertained grunts who can't handle their shit.  Marines are nothing special dude.  So instead of paying for more Marines to be trained and shipped overseas, yes it is cost effective.

Clinton could have been the savior and cut out the leader when he had the chance.  I guess that doesn't mean shit to you over your hatred of Bush.

The success of the war is a result of who we send into to do battles and until the MILITARY as a whole realize that we no longer fight conventional wars, then we will not easily win battles like this.

...as in "presiding over the longest peacetime economic expansion in history"?
...as in "lowest unemployment rates in years"?
...as in "record budget surplusses"?
...as in "restoring consumer confidence"?

I'll admit Hilary is less qualified to fulfill the Republican agenda.
They apparently don't believe in peacetime economic expansion.
They don't believe in peace or economic expansion.
They believe in high unemployment, record deficits, and dead Americans etc.,  :'(

Fuck you and your liberal mindset.  I bet you think I should pay for Illegal Mexicans, their children and all the fuking lazy ass people in my country that suck off my taxes.  Get your head straight. I can count perfectly fine thank you.


I'll admit Hilary is less qualified to fulfill the Republican agenda.  Go fuck yourself
They apparently don't believe in peacetime economic expansion.  Clinton went into Kosovo
They don't believe in peace or economic expansion.  Clinton went into Kosovo
They believe in high unemployment, record deficits, and dead Americans etc.,  :'( Kosovo?  People were still poor with him. 
Keep spewing your bullshit.  Clinton was a fuck up and just took more money out of my American pockets.  More taxes equals les deficit but it doesn't make it necessarily better for families in terms of money in their pockets.

Clinton took more money out of your pocket? Now who's spewing BS?  :-\
You were still in gradeschool when Clinton was in office.

And yes, under Clinton families had more in terms of jobs to go to, as well as money to save, spend, invest, and tax.

Sure, let's concede that Clinton didn't kill OBL when he could have, okay.

But why did Bush let him and his 1000 car caravan escape along the unguarded and unbombed north road from tora bora?  remember when all the generals were going apeshit on FOX and CNN every night?  Bush LET HIM ESCAPE and this is common knowledge.

So yes - clinton screwed up.  But he doesn't work here anymore.  Bush does!

-Thankfully, Hillary consistently receives very high negatives from large portions of the populace, so her chances of running let alone winning aren't great. ;D High visceral, negative reactions because even moderate, reasonable political commentators like Andrew Sullivan who should normally be in her camp finds her skin-crawlingly repugnant and say so without hesitation.

I agree, except I don't consider Sullivan a moderate.

The bottom line is your tax dollars are going to go someone.
It may be rich contractors in Iraq, war profiteers, or to army thieves in iraq, it may go to making a nice football for the troops, or a $70 million dollars feces & urine contaminated and uninhabitable building in the middle of the desert ...all set to be blown up, ...or it could go to poor American slobs on welfare, who will simply turn around and put it right back into the economy to improve conditions at home.  It might actually go towards healthcare, so you won't have to worry about catching TB the next time you get on the MTA.

Engage in a stalled war while spending $200 mil a day on it

Why?  1) Install pipeline and bases  2) lines pockets of defense contractors, which Cheney IS and which got bush into office.

Conveniently Forgotten Facts.
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. 
Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among   other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Connecticut. 
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers?
In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the  killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a  scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State  College. Isn't that something? 
As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America! Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture.
Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the United States Justice Department's Civil Rights   Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton. 
 O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is the Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No,  neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law  student  at Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest woman in the world." She is none other than the Democratic senator from the  state of New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Over here in the UK, we'll just be happy to see the back of Bush.  Unfortunately with the Iraq fiasco, (which I know we are involved in as well) he has become a laughing stock all over the world.  Tony Blair had his tongue firmly shoved up Bush's ass, lost the respect of the British public and now he has been unofficially pushed aside for someone else to take over, to start afresh. 
I think the US needs someone in charge who can rebuild people's confidence in your country again.  Whether thats Hillary or someone else is for you to debate.  I know Bill Clinton had his moments when he was President, but since then his stock has risen so much, and I know a lot of people who would gladly see him back in the White House (as the First Gentleman?!)

Two-thirds say soldiers in the U.S.-led coalition make no attempt to keep ordinary Iraqis from being killed or wounded during exchanges of gunfire.

58% say the soldiers conduct themselves badly or very badly.

60% say the troops show disrespect for Iraqi people in searches of their homes, and 42% say U.S. forces have shown disrespect toward mosques.

46% say the soldiers show a lack of respect for Iraqi women.


So I read the first link you posted and sure enough, there is no context to your misleading post.  The "poll" was from 2003 and the information was largely not based on first-hand contact with our troops.  Here is an excerpt from the first link:

In the multiethnic Baghdad area, where a Gallup Poll last summer of 1,178 residents permits a valid comparison, only 13% of the people now say the invasion of Iraq was morally justifiable. In the 2003 poll, more than twice that number saw it as the right thing to do.

Americans regard their men and women in uniform as liberators who are trying to help Iraq. But the Iraqis now see them as a threat and focus their anger on them.

"When they pass by on the street, we are curious, so we go out to look and they immediately point their gun at you," says Muia, the bicycle shop owner.

Except for the Kurds, such feelings are widely held. For example:

Two-thirds say soldiers in the U.S.-led coalition make no attempt to keep ordinary Iraqis from being killed or wounded during exchanges of gunfire.

58% say the soldiers conduct themselves badly or very badly.

60% say the troops show disrespect for Iraqi people in searches of their homes, and 42% say U.S. forces have shown disrespect toward mosques.

46% say the soldiers show a lack of respect for Iraqi women.

Only 11% of Iraqis say coalition forces are trying hard to restore basic services such as electricity and clean drinking water.

The Defense Department, which was shown the survey results Wednesday, said it doesn't respond to polls. But in a statement, it noted that Iraqis say their lives are getting better and said that the fact the poll could be taken indicated increased freedom in Iraq.

Secondhand information

That negative opinion of the behavior of the troops rarely is based on direct contact. Iraq is a country the size of California with a population of 25 million. Many areas are sparsely patrolled. Only 7% in the poll say they based their opinions on personal experience.

Instead, Iraqis get their information from others. For about a third, it's pan-Arabic television such as the Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya satellite news channels. The networks frequently show scenes of U.S. forces shooting into Iraqi neighborhoods in hot spots such as Fallujah, an anti-American stronghold in the center of the country. (Related poll results: Baghdad: Then and now)

Although most Iraqis watch the local, U.S.-sponsored broadcast television station, which doesn't require a satellite dish, Iraqis in the poll say the Arab satellite networks are the most trusted and break the hottest stories. Few Iraqis trust Western networks such as CNN and the BBC.

More news is spread through that oldest delivery system: marketplace chatter. In the rumor mill, interviews indicate, every confrontation between Americans and Iraqis is portrayed as an assault on the Iraqi people, not on just a few lawless insurgents.

Jalal Abbas, 20, a student in Baghdad, says it's widely believed "that when soldiers search houses, they steal gold and money. And in our houses, people are taking special (precautions) to hide their money and gold for fear of them being stolen by U.S. soldiers."

ok, so let's see.

you said you don't trust my numbers, so i posted the exact links where i got them.

*Suddenly, aware that you called me out and i backed it up, you took a NEW angle, saying those numbers were old.

Well, public opinion has, if anything, worsened in iraq, so I asked you for a more recent poll.

*Suddenly you say it is taken OUT OF CONTEXT?

You don't have any info here, so you insult my masters degree from an accredited Fl University, after admitting yourself that you dropped out of school in high school to start a family.

Guess what?  You are embarassing yourself.  back away from the thread slowly...

I think this shows they don't teach critical thinking in correspondence school.  You deserve your money back. 

You posted yet more anti-American, anti-military garbage, which was an excerpt of a "poll" that attempted to show that Iraqis basically hate our military.  When you provided the link at my request, I actually read it, and discovered the "poll" was taken in 2003, about four years ago, and that many of the people who participated in the poll did not have direct contact with American soldiers:

"That negative opinion of the behavior of the troops rarely is based on direct contact. Iraq is a country the size of California with a population of 25 million. Many areas are sparsely patrolled. Only 7% in the poll say they based their opinions on personal experience."

Your brain is tied in knots again 240.  The facts always seem to do that to ya.

So, mail order man, why DID you post such a misleading, four-year-old "poll" about our military?  And why do you hate our military so much?

I love our military.  I just hate to see them die in the cities, doing a job they're not trained to do, interacting with people they can't trust, understand, and who don't want us there.

My original point stands - iraqis don't want us there.  You have tried and you cannot disprove it. 

Put your money where your mouth is on the degree :)  I'm very proud of my masters of admin degree from a FL business school.  actually it has an accred. that only 25% of American business schools have attained. 

I'm sure your GED is willy willy nice too ;)

Honestly, I mean what does it say about the people of NY?  Now people want her to be President.  Seriously now people think she is qualified to be President?  Maybe someone should tell her to raise, not lower, police and fire department pay.  That'll show she has some smarts by taking care of the people that protect citizens.

In order to raise police and fire department pay, she would have to raise the tax. But you get what pay for I suppose.

The same goes for public schools, lot of people complain about the lack of education level in the US youth, and how this puts USA at an disadvantage. But only if the public schools gets a lot more funding, will you see a rise.

The question is how you should fund the schools.



Also, I thought it was the mayor department of New York who decided on what the NYPD and NYFD wages were?

Oh please.  You post enough anti-military trash to fill about a garbage can a day.   ::)

And I can't believe you are defending those poll numbers.  You posted a four-year-old poll, without qualification.  The article admits it is not based on first-hand contact with our troops.  Either you didn't read the article or you were deliberately deceptive with your selective quotes.

True that taxes go to schools but when we spend for programs for illegals (too many to list) the rest of us suffer.  All the English learner programs and other bullshit detract from funds for regular citizens.  The problem is that schools need this shit if they want federal funding which screws them over.

From what I know, Hilary dropped the salaries this year.  I thought of applying and she dropped starting pay for NYPD 2 grand.

Over here in the UK, we'll just be happy to see the back of Bush.  Unfortunately with the Iraq fiasco, (which I know we are involved in as well) he has become a laughing stock all over the world.  Tony Blair had his tongue firmly shoved up Bush's ass, lost the respect of the British public and now he has been unofficially pushed aside for someone else to take over, to start afresh. 
I think the US needs someone in charge who can rebuild people's confidence in your country again.  Whether thats Hillary or someone else is for you to debate.  I know Bill Clinton had his moments when he was President, but since then his stock has risen so much, and I know a lot of people who would gladly see him back in the White House (as the First Gentleman?!)

Personally, I HATED the idea of term limits, ...until Bush. Then I thought term limits were great.  :D

I'll ask you straight up - Do the majority of iraqis want us there? 

(The answer is No, and you won't find any poll data that says otherwise.  You're owned again by your assumptions.  Go eat your hot dog now).
