On the night of her primary victory, Senator Clinton credited the people of New Hampshire with helping her find her own voice... "The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them. It's time we had a president who stands up for all of you," ...
It was an echo of Vice President Gore's Robert Shrum-influenced disaster of a 2000 Democratic convention speech in Los Angeles...
The upside is that Mrs. Clinton is raising money from the very industries she is bashing, making her sincerity open to question. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that Mrs. Clinton has raised $269,436 from the pharmaceutical industry, more than any other candidate, including Republicans, and $220,550 from the oil and gas industry, more than double what her closest Democratic rivals raised from the industry.
Mrs. Clinton claims she learned from her mistakes the last time around on health care reform, but ...

Hillary Rodham Gore
Does Tipper know about this?
Ever heard a “Banshee”? Banshee = an omen of death and a messenger from Hell!

Despite the contrary evidence of public opinion polls, the concept of Canadian-style single-payer insurance was dismissed early.
Tom Hamburger and Ted Marmor in the Washington Monthly tell of a single-payer proponent being invited to the White House in February 1993. It was, he said, a "pseudo-consultation;" the doctor was quickly informed that "single payer is not politically feasible." When Dr. David Himmelstein of the Harvard Medical School pressed Mrs. Clinton on single payer, she replied, "Tell me something interesting, David."
In other words, write Hamburger and Marmor: "Fewer than six weeks into the Clinton presidency, the White House had made its key policy decision: Before the Health Care Task Force wrote a single page of its 22-volume report to the President, the single payer idea was written off, and "managed competition" was in.". . .
Reported Thomas Bodenehimer in Nation: "Around Hillary Rodham Clinton's health reform table sit the managed-competition winners: big business, hospitals, large (but not small) commercial insurers, the Blues, budget-worried government leaders and the 'Jackson Hole Group,' the chief intellectual honchos of the managed competition movement. . . Adherence to the mantra of managed competition appears to be the price of a ticket of admission to this gathering. "
Who knows how many secret donations also showed up at Swiss Bank accounts or elsewhere ?
You think Hillary will pick Gore for her running mate?

Yeah, the Clinton’s have always been known to be “willing to do business.”
I eagerly await stories about this from those hard charging investigative reporters at CNN, NYT, LAT and the SF Chronicle.
ZZZZZZ, wake me when it happens.
Why don't we just abolish all of them and do without cars, prescription drugs, health insurance and student loans?
>>>making her sincerity open to question<<<
ROTFLMAO
