My first knowledge of hillary clinton was as the wife of the Gov. of Arkansas. I was given, for use of a better word, task, of looking into the "Teacher Testing". At that time, early 80's, ms clinton was behind the movement of "Teacher Testing" and it was an issue in PTA groups. You see, Arkansas was, I believe, 48 or 49 out of 50 states in child progress, need I say being 1 was the best. Then, whamo, teacher testing was dropped like a hot potato. Arkansas teachers flunked testing big time! Did hillary try to better Arkansas's situation - NO! hillary buried the fact.

So then WhiteWater Development Co. became news in the '90s the name hillary caught my eye. I know this is old news, so much has been said about WhiteWater, but it should never be forgotten for it is a perfect example of the type of people the clintons are. Well, it caught my attention very early, due to my prior knowledge of hillary clinton, the wife of the Arkansas Gov.

WhiteWater, was, bottom line, stealing from the poor to pay the rich/powerful. The rich/powerful were the clintons. Remember now, this was after the cattle futures deal of the 1970's, so now they were the rich. Anyway, lots were sold to very poor Arkansas residents, and the first month the payments were not reached the land was resold to another. Not to mention the lots were sold to people who had no money so not making the next payment was part of their plan. The poor of Arkansas and their dream of owning their own home was shattered and the clintons got richer. Even how hillary/bill got the money to buy the land to sell was dirty.

you say.......

" --- this woman made a choice as to the life she wanted to lead, and whether you like her or not you have to admire her fortitude in getting what she wants."

No, I do not and will never admire anyone who benefits doing severe damage to another. And in just the two cases I have mentioned hillary clinton did permanent damage to the children and the women of her state as the wife of the then governor bill clinton.

I think Algore will be the man of the hour in '08.

I'm all for bashing Hillary, but think there's too much speculation about how well she'll do in the Rat party nominating process. The people we can influence are the independents and weak Republicans, and a few non-liberal Democrats, who will be undecided in the '08 general. What is uninteresting is Hillary's prospects for the nomination.

I understand your points also, but when a likely rat candidate becomes viewed as a joke early on, they have a hard time ever shaking it, and often make it worse by trying to cover for it.

Kerry flip-flop, the bunny suit photo, the phony goose hunt.

It does sway the independents also. Who would want to admit supporting a joke for office?

You are right, malia. The clintons will always put self-interest above national interest. They ignored bin Laden because they thought it was in their interest to do so.

NEVER AGAIN. WE MUST NEVER ALLOW THESE TWO SELF-SERVING CREATURES TO CONTROL THIS COUNTRY AGAIN. EVER.

I had forgotten that one. Can you imagine if a Republican had told it?

Which explains why Dodd is out there. Kerry is out there. Kennedy too. They're determined to end the legacy of Klinton before she ever gets to the White House.

But will they succeed? I doubt it. Hitlery has more balls than those two combined.

I agree that it makes sense to bash Shrillery now.
But I have little interest in whether she or some other Rat is leading for their nomination at the moment. They're all Rats.
