Clinton's '35 years of change' omits most of her career Matt Stearns | McClatchy Newspapers last updated: February 03, 2008 11:09:08 PM

WASHINGTON — To hear Hillary Clinton talk, she's spent her entire career putting her Yale Law School degree to work for the common good.

She routinely tells voters that she's "been working to bring positive change to people's lives for 35 years." She told a voter in New Hampshire: "I've spent so much of my life in the nonprofit sector." Speaking in South Carolina, Bill Clinton said his wife "could have taken a job with a firm ... Instead she went to work with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children's Defense Fund."

The overall portrait is of a lifelong, selfless do-gooder. The whole story is more complicated — and less flattering.

Clinton worked at the Children's Defense Fund for less than a year, and that's the only full-time job in the nonprofit sector she's ever had. She also worked briefly as a law professor.

Clinton spent the bulk of her career — 15 of those 35 years — at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards.

Exposing Hillary’s Illegalities In Los Angeles Court To Begin Feb. 21! The Hillary Clinton Accountability Project will shortly launch its fundraising drive to raise $500,000 to support the most important citizen’s legal initiative of 2008. The landmark civil fraud suit of Paul v Clinton et al which the California Supreme Court ordered to proceed against the Clintons, Grammys Producer Gary Smith and Clinton agent Jim Levin, will be set for trial and a discovery schedule at a special conference to be held in Los Angeles Superior Court on February 21, 2008.

The first law suit in American history to bring a President and a Senator to court for defrauding the Senator’s largest campaign donor and his public company will be set for trial and discovery at the Case Management Conference before Judge Munoz. Discovery and depositions of key witnesses, including the Clinton family, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe, Harold Ickes, Howard Wolfson, Kelly Craighead, Barbara Streisand, Brad Pitt, Larry King, Mike Wallace among an array of political and entertainment leaders, will present an inside look at a culture of corruption that will shock the public. http://www.peterfpaul.com/

No they wont, Republican conservative will vote along with 80 million baby boomers who are about to retire.

The majority of which are informed and will run to the polls to save whats left for them.

Now if the word gets out, in cyberspace, we have a chance.
Pass this on.

You are allowing yourself the delusion that the people who support Hillary "just don't know who she is". The rub is that they know very clearly who she is and they don't care. There is not one single person who likes the Clintons today, who would be swayed by any news story whatsoever, least of all one put out by conservatives.

Whos fault is that?

If you do not report it youll never know, assumptions, are very rarely an answer to a problem, but a diversion from the truth.

No doubt they also failed to chronicle hillary's sterling work as author of a clause in the contracts for worthless Whitewater land parcels that stipulated that if any payment was so mcuh as a day late, all the prior payments reverted to rent and the title of the land reverted back to the seller.

Apparently they duped many retired couples out of their land with this mechanism and sold the same lots multiple times.

But then hillary always was for the little people, wasn't she?

Hillary's faulty and selective memory voids any claim of the 35 years of experience.

Secondly, the combination of the Clinton lie-and-faulty-memory machine will be working overtime in the upcoming trial. In fact, these traits will prove to be hereditary since Chelsea will be asked to take the stand and lie, forget, and obscure the truth.

Popcorn anyone?

Hillary is just a nice girl from Chicago who met a grifter from Arkansas 35 years ago and we know the rest. It just as easily could have been Charlie Manson but the story would be slightly different.

It is about time someone in the MSM is bringing this lie of hers up and exposing it for what it is. She mentions this 35 years of experience in every speech. I cannot believe people are buying this BS.

The truth is that the people who support the Clintons do so with full knowledge of who and what they are. They either approve or don’t care. You are having a mental block accepting that.

Rush could regurgitate every dirty Clinton escapade that has ever happened for the next 12 months and it would have zero effect on their favorability numbers. Zip.

Bill could rape a 12 year old on video tape and Hillary could strangle a new born infant, and it would have no effect on those who support them. None.

Extremes will not give you the point. Diversion from the truth is an exercise in futility.
