If We Junk the Electoral College, Why Keep the US Senate?
Source: Original Sources
Published: November 20, 2000 Author: Mary Mostert (www.originalsources.com)
Posted on 11/21/2000 07:32:09 PST by Stand Watch Listen

...one of the wealthiest, and whitest, counties in the Country - Palm Beach - is suddenly pleading that they should not be expected to punch a hole beside an arrow for their candidates and, besides, punching a hole is really much to difficult for the average Palm Beach resident. While we are getting used to that, we hear, from the newly elected Senator from New York, an amazing demand that the Electoral College be abandoned. And, exactly, what WAS the reason those silly founding fathers put the Electoral College into the Constitution? ...I wonder if Hillary Clinton ever read the reason why the Senate, like the Electoral College, was never intended to be another body representing the people? The House of Representatives is the people’s house. The Senate speaks for the States, which makes one wonder why New York State would elect someone who has never even LIVED in the state. The purpose of the electoral college was to do exactly what we see it about to do in the year 2000 election. It will chose the person that the STATES believe will make the best executive... It appears that the State of New York has elected a senator who hasn’t a clue about the purpose of her job. She is supposed to be representing the STATE of New York. If she does not believe in the purpose of the Senate, she shouldn’t be in it. The people of New York are represented by members of the House of Representatives. The principles behind the Electoral College are pretty much the same as the principles behind the Senate. The votes in each represent the State. If Hillary believes the Electoral College should be abolished because it is not “democratic” and sometimes the majority of the people do not get their way, logic would require that she also demand the abolishment of the U.S. Senate, where a senator from a state with a small population and one member of the House of Representatives, such as Wyoming with its 211,000 voters has exactly the same amount of clout that she will have from the State of New York with its 6, 196,165 voters.

[snip] on Dec. 2: Howard Wolfson, Sen. Hillary Clinton’s spokesman, accused Obama of running a “slush fund.” In fact, the Clinton campaign was spreading that story privately months ago. Last summer, a senior Clinton aide told a famous Democratic personage believed favorable to Obama that the Illinois senator was using his “leadership” political-action committee to spread money around the country to grease his presidential prospects. That message was private when Clinton seemed far ahead for the Democratic nomination. It became public when Obama threatened to overtake her. [end]

Bill Clinton draws criticism as Democratic campaign grows ever more caustic

Bill Clinton was hit with caustic criticism Tuesday from his wife’s Democratic rivals, who accused the popular former president of falsely comparing questions about her candor to smears of past campaigns. In a presidential nomination fight growing more intense by the day, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama also criticized the former first lady for having voted in the Senate against incentives for ethanol production and higher fuel efficiency standards. And 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards challenged her to spell out what she would do about Iraq.

Just in case you may think this person would make a good president.

Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her 'record,' which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or 'co-president' - and her seven years in the Senate.

Here is a reminder of what that record includes:

- As First Lady, Hillary assumed authority over Health Care Reform, a process that cost the taxpayers over $13 million. She told both Bill Bradley and Pat Moynahan, key votes needed to pass her legislation, that she would 'demonize' anyone who opposed it. But it was opposed; she couldn't even get it to a vote in a Congress controlled by her own party. (And in the next election, her party lost control of both the House and Senate.)

- Hillary assumed authority over selecting a female Attorney General. Her first two recommendations (Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood) were forced to withdraw their names from consideration, and then she chose Janet Reno. Janet Reno has since been described by Bill himself as 'my worst mistake.'

- Hillary recommended Lani Guanier for head of the Civil Rights Commission. When Guanier's radical views became known, her name had to be withdrawn.

- Hillary recommended her former law partners, Web Hubbell, Vince Foster, and William Kennedy for positions in the Justice Department, White House staff, and the Treasury, respectively. Hubbell was later imprisoned, Foster committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

- Hillary also recommended a close friend of the Clintons, Craig Livingstone, for the position of director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of up to 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, both Hillary and her husband denied knowing him. (FBI agent Dennis Sculimbrene confirmed in a Senate Judiciary Committee in 1996 both the drug use and Hillary' involvement in hiring Livingstone. After that, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office, after serving seven presidents for over thirty years.)

- In order to open 'slots' in the White House for her friends the Harry Thomasons (to whom millions of dollars in travel contracts could be awarded), Hillary had the entire staff of the White House Travel Office fired; they were reported to the FBI for 'gross mismanagement' and their reputations ruined. After a thirty-month investigation, only one, Billy Dale, was charged with a crime - mixing personal money with White House funds when he cashed checks. The jury acquitted him in less than two hours.

- Another of Hillary's assumed duties was directing the 'bimbo eruption squad' and scandal defense:

---- She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit.

---- She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.

---- Then they had to settle with Paula Jones after all.

---- And Bill lost his law license for lying to the grand jury

---- And Bill was impeached by the House.

---- And Hillary almost got herself indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice (she avoided it mostly because she repeated, 'I do not recall,' 'I have no recollection,' and 'I don't know' 56 times under oath).

- Hillary wrote 'It Takes a Village,' demonstrating her Socialist viewpoint.

- Hillary decided to seek election to the Senate in a state she had never lived in. Her husband pardoned FALN terrorists in order to get Latino support and the New Square Hassidim to get Jewish support. Hillary also had Bill pardon her brother's clients, for a small fee, to get financial support.

- Then Hillary left the White House, but later had to return $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork she had stolen.

- In the campaign for the Senate, Hillary played the 'woman card' by portraying her opponent (Lazio) as a bully picking on her.

- Hillary's husband further protected her by asking the National Archives to withhold from the public until 2012 many records of their time in the White House, including much of Hillary's correspondence and her calendars. (There are ongoing lawsuits to force the release of those records.)

- As the junior Senator from New York, Hillary has passed no major legislation. she has deferred to the senior Senator (Schumer) to tend to the needs of New Yorkers, even on the hot issue of medical problems of workers involved in the cleanup of Ground Zero after 9/11.

- Hillary's one notable vote, supporting the plan to invade Iraq, she has since disavowed.

Quite a resume`, isn't it? Sounds more like an organized crime family...
