it sounds as though wisdom has come with age in your case. The same can't be said for Hillie.

Agree.

But I'm saying we should not waste time chasing ghosts from 1968.

If Hillary can't be beaten with 2007 data, she can't be beaten, period.

Do you believe that that Bill Clinton's letter to his draft board and the efforts he made to avoid the draft were germane in 1992 and 1996? Does it matter if Bill or Obama used cocaine in their 20s? Would it matter if a candidate had a felony on his record that he committed when he was 21? Or that he/she belonged to the KKK or Communist party when they were in their 20s? Was it germane/relevant that Kerry's antiwar activities [when he was in his mid twenties] be brought up?

Is your objection about Hillary's thesis connected to the length of time that has elapsed or the age of the candidate at the time? What is the standard that determines relevancy for any such information?

To me, it her thesis could be related to policy positions she currently holds, e.g., socialized health care, then her thesis is relevant and should be examined and exploited.

It was sickening enough to read the first couple of chapters of her biography. The one she got all those millions of dollars for, right before she became a senator.

You will have the measure of the student and the adult she's become by reading with a careful eye.

Absolutely agree. Probably most conservative Americans with degrees would cringe if we were required to defend our senior papers, masters theses or dissertations today. Heaven knows I sure would.

Those things are usually written to satisfy the ideological inclinations of the almost universally left wing faculty committees who will review them & for most people what we wrote then is in no way representative of who we are now.

So it makes the people who try to condemn her with it look to the rest of the country, at least to those folks who had to write them during their own academic careers, like they're unfairly grasping at straws b/c they have nothing better to get her on - when nothing could be further from the truth, there's plenty!

Its not that her senior thesis isn't mandatory reading for those of us who want to understand where's she's coming from (Hillary Care alone proves she, unlike us, is still very much in the thrall of socialist ideals TODAY), but any effective public strategy to minimize her support from the voters will have to come from what she's saying today & what she's done in office in the US Senate & in pseudo-office as co-president.

The exploitation of her thesis to try to cultivate sentiment against her with rank & file voters in 2007-08 carries the almost certain guarantee it will backfire.

I'll bite. What data? And who's going to report it?

Murdoch? Stephy? Matthews? Mitchell? Gregory?

I could be here all day naming Clintonistas in the media.

Sure, I could show you where the money from 9-11 went and where it should have gone... who's going to report it.

Do you realize how many online records have been scrubbed... seriously?

Even if the record gets on the news re: leftist anti-war enclave pushing, she will smile and give the perfect explanation re: the MSM.

Of course we push recent stats and records... no one grabs them. Talk radio at the most.

What do you me "we"? You don't have to do anything. If someone else does, is it any of your business?

We are the eyes and ears of this here alternative media my FRiend. Anything that comes up for scrutiny between now and next year, will be posted here. Hillary thought she could get rid of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", but we're all still here.
