Bill Clinton creates issues for Hillary
Newsday ^ | March 9, 2006 | James P. Pinkerton

Posted on 03/09/2006 5:36:24 AM PST by libstripper

Isn't it great that Bill and Hillary Clinton have such a great marriage - that they can agree to disagree on important issues, even national security issues? OK, that's enough faux political correctness for now.

So let me tell you what I really think: It stinks that the ex-president husband and his wife, the junior senator from New York, have had such divergent positions in an important homeland-defense debate. Indeed, Hillary's foreign-affairs fecklessness, most recently on the Dubai Ports World deal, calls into question her fitness to be president, as long as Bill, too, is in the picture. If she can't lead him, how can she lead the rest of us?

On Feb. 17, Hillary denounced the Dubai deal, declaring, "Our port security is too important to place in the hands of foreign governments." But on March 2, the Financial Times reported that Bill was called in to advise the United Arab Emirates about securing the deal for its company.

But back in 96/97 the internet isn't what it is today. It is far, far more influential and far more available. I can remember people at work still asking in 96 "what is the internet?"

It's far worse than just her "keeping the money from a supposed terrorist nation." Since BJ is a leading principal of an investment company that was formed to be an investment advisor to the Crown Prince of Dubai and has a right to a percentage of that comapny's income, he and the Witch are on the Dubai payroll for the foreseeable future, not someting we really want a possible future President to be.

In other words, the two pigs are welded to the Dubai bribe trough with their snouts deeply into the sweet swill and we can rest assured that President Hillary (God forbid) would do nothing to disturb that relationship, no matter what the intersts of the United States might be.

Acttually, I think this is just another Bill and Hill ploy to keep their names in the news.

So why are Republicans jumping upon HER bandwagon with legislation before the 45 day review ends to investigate exactly what these two are UP TO????

Are they so afraid of Hillry "FEAR MONGERING" they have no clue exactly what liberals would be doing if these shoes were on a former Republican president????

The table is set for these Republicans to strip all credibility from these two wheeler dealers and nobody can reach their political nerves to expose these two duplicitous dealers.

We must constantly remind Americans that a vote for MRS. BILL CLINTON is a vote for the Sinkmeister to be back in power as well. Truly ugh-worthy.

And at least one Freeper with a camera phone and MP3 recorder should attend EVERY MRS. BILL CLINTON event from now until the election.

The pix and audio recordings should be deposited in a central depository that is searchable. Bloggers and other journalists should make good use of this material in keeping the spotlight on the real MRS. BILL CLINTON as she runs for Prez.

This is why I'm glad a real conservative may make the run for NY senator against the Witch. It's just possible that he'll expose this stink pit, make it the center piece of his campaign, and force BJ and the Witch to respond. The investment management deal gives the Clintons such a raging, continuing conflict of interest that neither can even again be trusted with a position of influence or power.

Your post bears repeating and should be sprinkled liberally around FR to receive max exposure--

Here's the real money quote from the Dick Morris column that was posted earlier today at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1593000/posts regarding the Clintons' relationship with the UAE:

Bill is, after all, a regular in Dubai. The crown prince — that is, the government — contributed to his presidential library and pays him $300,000 per speech. Recently, Yucaipa, an American company that has Bill Clinton as a “senior adviser” and pays him a percentage of its profits, formed a partnership with the Dubai Investment Group to form DIGL Inc., a company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments.


If BJ is deeply involved in a "company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments," he and the Witch will be receiving millions of dollars of income in the following years from that very company. In other words, if she's elected President, the President of the United States will be on the Dubai payroll due to BJ's involvement in managing the sheik's personal investments. Her denunciation of the ports deal is nothing but cover for this raging, continuing conflict of interest. If the Pubbies can't take advantage of this, they can't take advantage of anything.

how can she lead the rest of us?

The answer to that questions is: She doesn't "lead", she tells others what to do because she knows best. Hillary has no clue as to the real meaning of leadership. She is a marxist.

All of the above PLUS: this is a shakedown of DPW using a good cop / bad cop routine until DPW cooperates and "hires" all of their flunkies to various advisory roles.

Rather, I'd like to remind Americans that if Hillary were elected President, she would have to constantly choose between WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA versus WHAT IS BEST FOR BILL! They are too different things!

That's the message here. Hillary cannot be trusted to act in the Country's best interest -- because of the influence of her husband. Bill apparently does exactly what he wants to and can manipulate Hillary very easily.

Thanks for the credit and doing the multiple posting. It's really great how Freepers so often give credit to an original poster.

If she’s telling the truth...

After all she's accomplished, after all she's achieved, after all she's been through, after all she's witnessed, after all she's put up with - everyone still wonders.

Leader of the free world? No way...
