Even though her major initiative, the Clinton healthcare plan, failed (due to Republican obstruction), you cannot deny that it laid ground for what we have today, the Affordable Healthcare Act, something Clinton supports and would continue.

She played a leading role in the development of State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage.

She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act.

Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH).

She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it – Gulf War Syndrome.

At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women.

She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.

Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clinton’s successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill).

Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act.

Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster.

Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma.

Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.

Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date.

The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.

Her finest and main accomplishment for a lot of voters is she has a vagina, or so it is rumored.........:-)

All fluff. "...instrumental in..." or "...oversaw..." or "...leading role in..."

Not one objective, hard, accomplishment she can point to and say that was hers. Oh, there's the gem of "Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date." You know you're hurting for accomplishments when travel makes the list.

She found the “lost” billing records, made a fortune on cattle futures by simply reading the WSJ, got some people killed in Benghazi, wiped out her email server, bakes great cookies, stands by her meal ticket, er, man.

Grammy Award Winner?? For “spoken word” - an audio book. She read her own book into a microphone. Real talent. I’ve written a book myself and could do the same.

Bill too got the award. It was an excuse for liberals to award one of their own a Grammy. It’s ridiculous.

First First Lady to be shameless enough to use the perquisites of the Presidency to help her campaign for office in a state she had never lived in.

First Co-President.

No accomplishments. “Laid groundwork”, a “role”, “fought to”,”helped”, “proposed”, being a “major proponent”, and getting the most frequent flier miles are NOT accomplishments.

Her biggest accomplishment is not getting sent to prison - which she surely deserves.

(from the article) :" Elected by the… State of New York to serve two terms in the United States Senate. "

Elected by the Democratic Party machine to represent the State of New York, even though a "Carpetbagger" from Arkansas.
Was fired by Federal Judicial committee hearing for 'lying' while representing the US FedGovt.

Apparently, being a First Lady, a Senator, as well as Secretary of State doesn’t count as accomplishments...

True. They aren't accomplishments. They are positions. And they are positions for which Mrs. Clinton did nothing to earn. They were given to her. So by definition, they are not accomplishments.

Now if Mrs. Clinton had done something while in those positions she could claim accomplishments. And again we find she did nothing. So no accomplishments for Mrs. Clinton.

This is typical liberal behavior; equating appearance with substance.

I had this amazing discussion when a Hispanic gay HIV positive free-ride law school student (HGH+F-RLSS) posted a link on my daughter’s Facebook:

HGH+F-RLSS:   Here’s A List Of Hillary Clinton’s Accomplishments, So Quit Saying She Doesn’t Have Any. Her activism on behalf of women a children across the world is renowned.

HVC: Tell that to Monica Lewinsky

HGH+F-RLSS:   Yeah let's vote for a white dude because he'll be so much better on women's issues. And what exactly do you expect Hillary to do about Monica Lewinsky? That's just sexist.

HVC: Racists bring up race…and throw out the sexist card way to early.

HGH+F-RLSS:   Too* learn to spell. And learn something about systemic racial inequality before you call a minority racist. You need to learn something about power, privilege, and oppression.

HVC: You’re a racist. To. Theirs some spelling to cheque.

HGH+F-RLSS:   It must be nice to have privilege so that when a minority speaks up about unequal treatment, you can call it a "card." That speaks volumes about privilege.

HVC: Racist = The guy that brings race into the discussion. From out of nowhere.

HGH+F-RLSS:   If you want to know why I am voting for Hillary, you don't need to look any further than HVCI. Thank you. You'll turn out a lot of voters for Hillary with that rhetoric.

HVC: That's the sheer force of my privilege

HGH+F-RLSS:   Yes, it's called addressing historical systems of oppression. We all have privileges, that's not what causes conflict. It's when we use those privileges to institutionalize supremacy over a minority. Just because you call something racist doesn't make it racist. RACISM: Racism is a system in which one race maintains supremacy over another race through a set of attitudes, behaviors, social structures, and institutional power. Racism is a “system of structured dis-equality where the goods, services, rewards, privileges, and benefits of the society are available to individuals according to their presumed membership in” particular racial groups (Barbara Love, 1994. Understanding Internalized Oppression). A person of any race can have prejudices about people of other races, but only members of the dominant social group can exhibit racism because racism is prejudice plus the institutional power to enforce it.

HVC: The KKK thinks everything is about race, just like you.

At this point, HGH+F-RLSS runs to his own Facebook where I can’t post and tells all of his friends about the racist he just debated.

And multiple scandals hang off of every single item in that list.

Most of those things are offices, not accomplishments. What did she accomplish while holding those offices?
