35 Years?

Great article from CQPolitics.

"Clinton is 60, so if we assume that her 35 years were consecutive, they would have begun in 1973 when she graduated from Yale Law School at age 25. That year she joined the Children’s Defense Fund, an advocacy group for children.

But her math was way off when she claimed the difference with Obama is "35 years of experience." By our count, Obama, who is 14 years younger than Clinton, has three years of experience as a community organizer, four years as a full-time attorney handling voting rights, employment and housing cases, and 11 years in the Illinois Senate and U.S. Senate. That’s a total of 18 years. So the difference between Clinton and Obama is really 17 years. We rate her claim False."

I've mentioned some less than savorable aspects of her experience in my previous post. And this one does not really go into this. However, it does go into the comparison between her experience, and Barack's.

Clinton has been an activist for many liberal causes, but she has also been an activist for many corporate causes. By all accounts she, like Al Gore, are corporate liberals. Her voting record speaks for itself. Women, gays (kind of), minorities? I'm with you. Corporations? I'm with you. You want to build a car park where this forest is? I'm with you. 100%

Why I Will Never Vote for Hillary

#1 Her campaign donors. Fuck Obama's Rezko. This is some real shit. The kind of shit you can only get because you've already been to the white house.

If you hate the Bushes, no one has more in common with them than the Clintons.
"The royal family of Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton facility in Little Rock about $10 million, roughly the same amount it gave toward the presidential library of George H.W. Bush, according to people directly familiar with the contributions."

Not just $10m...
"Bill Clinton approached Prince Bandar in 1991 for $20 million to launch a Middle East studies program at the University of Arkansas and that Prince Bandar announced that the request was approved shortly before Bill Clinton won the presidential election. There may be some irony in that, by Unger's own account, Saudi Arabia has contributed eight times as much to Bill Clinton's charities than to George H.W. Bush's."

And wasn't that some shit with Scooter Libby?
"[Hillary] Clinton must be careful, however, because Libby's past legal career is closely intertwined with her husband's presidency. During the 1980s and 1990s, Libby was a lawyer for Marc Rich."

Wait, who's Marc Rich? the bbc tells us.
"Mr Clinton defended his pardon partially on the grounds that Mr Rich's charitable contributions in the Middle East had aided the peace process. In 1983, the financier fled to Switzerland to avoid prosecution on 51 counts of tax evasion, fraud and violating a US trade embargo with Iran." This is while Iran had hostages.

I mean I'm not saying he's worse than the Bush's...
"The George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, reveals its most generous patrons on a gray marble wall in the foyer. When the center, located at Texas A&M University, was being erected, money flowed in from as far away as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, places that had good reason to thank the 40th president of the United States. But for one donor of at least $100,000 — Texas oilman Edwin L. Cox, Sr. — gratitude may have been closer to home."

But anyone who says the Clintons are no better than the Bushes clearly hasn't done their homework.

And how did that work out for Bill Clinton... pardoning all the people that he did? What did they do for him... or Hillary?
"Three recipients of controversial 11th-hour pardons issued by former President Bill Clinton in January 2001 have donated thousands of dollars to the presidential campaign of his wife, Democratic front-runner Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., according to campaign finance records examined by ABC News, in what some good government groups said created an appearance of impropriety."

And what's Bill been up to since he left the white house? Hooking up uranium deals for over $100m against US interests?

FYI, Bill has no honest emotion in him.


But Bill's not running, right? HILLARY is. So those 35 years of so-called experience? What the fuck has she done?
"Yet Clinton, as McClatchy notes, spent the bulk of her career in Arkansas--15 out of 35--at one of the state's preeminent corporate law firms, representing clients like Tyson Foods. During that time she did a number of good works. But from 1986-1992 she also sat on the board of Wal-Mart, pushing gingerly for women's rights while staying quiet as the company aggressively opposed labor unions."


Oh and Bill Clinton was supposed to be the first black president right? Except if he was... he'd be eating watermelon...

Don't even get me started on Iraq...

Last Romney Joke

What did Ann Romney do when she caught Mitt fucking himself up his own ass?

She made him pull out.
