Are We Ready for Hillary Clinton?

Subject: Are We Ready for Hillary Clinton?
------
If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in which he
introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not
know about Hillary's background. Beware. As I was there for most of their
presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few
corrections.

Bill says: "In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor."
The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was
helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing
a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student
monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop
grounds for appeal.

Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's
rights project for poor kids." The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob
Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he
represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an
internship with him.

Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned
down all the lucrative job offers." The facts are: She flunked the DC bar
exam; yes, flunked. It is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas
bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas - none - and only got hired by the
University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already
teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill
became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was
elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of
Directors and she became its chairman." The facts are: The appointment was in
exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted
Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority
away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital." The
facts are: Yes, she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill,
was to sit on the Wal-Mart board of directors for a substantial fee. She was
silent about their labor and health care practices.

Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans
in 1994, but she kept working at it and helped to create the Children's
Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with
health insurance." The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating
CHIP. It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican
Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped negotiate the deal. The
money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals'
tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the world." The facts
are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill
would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White
House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was
no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

Bill says: "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting for children's
and women's issues." The facts are: Other than totally meaningless
legislation like changing the names on courthouses and post offices, she has
passed only four substantive pieces of legislation. One set up a national
park in Puerto Rico . A second provided respite care for family members
helping their relatives through Alzheimer's or other conditions. And two were
routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders which were sponsored by the
entire NY delegation. Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize the
Woodstock fiasco of 40 years ago.

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary Clinton. She
has done everything possible to weaken the President and our country (that's
you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.

1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they
would have access to our legal system.

2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls
to/from the USA .
3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on
the battlefield.
4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected
Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA .

5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the
military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists
even though such tactics might save American lives.

One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a single comment
she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the War on Terror.
But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our country
and make it a more dangerous situation for all of us. Bottom line: She goes
hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is
abandoned.

Share this with every democrat you know .... ask them to prove Dick Morris
wrong. Think about it - he (Dick Morris) has said all of this openly, thus if
he were not truthful he'd be liable for defamation of character! And you
better believe Hilary would sue him.

Is America ready for a woman president?

I believe we are, just NOT this one.
