No we wouldn't.
Bump for later.
***Thank God this woman will never be president.***
Personally, I’m not so sure of that. The Clintons are in this to win. They both want that power, and I would bet my life’s savings that they know exactly *how* they will win, and have long ago *ensured* this scenario.
Does she think we're stupid?
Yes, she thinks we're all stupid.
Today, Friday the 13th of July was my lucky day. I went to Daniel Webster College to meet Hillary Clinton....
She knows we know everything. She is counting on enough people remaining unaware and being led by the MSM spin. She is counting on 5 million young women voters who might not otherwise vote. We have to introduce the real Hillary to those women.
ALL candidates want to get away from these kinds of questions. Mostly they come up with polite shut-em-up responses, like the first President Bush when he was asked about an affair. He said the classic “I will not dignify this with an answer,” and that was that.
Our goal as FReepers is to keep the Clintons out of the office of the presidency. There are so many questions with which Hillary needs to be confronted on the campaign trail. I do not think she will ever, ever respond to them at her public appearances.
We need to remember what the Swift Boat Vets did. They got the facts and the questions out there, with our monetary help. The commercials spoke for themselves, and the book explained absolutely enough reasonable doubt that Kerry was fit to be President, even for people of his own party.
This is what the strategy needs to be once Hillary is nominated. Very classy editors and very above-board writers need to formulate ads that ask the questions. I don’t know if Juanita is up for doing an ad herself, but that would speak volumes. I am hoping there are people out there with real evidence against the Clintons who are waiting, like the Swift Boat Vets did, to see whether Hillary will win the primary, and who feel it is their duty, at great personal risk, to step out into the spotlight and protect the country.
We need to have on film Juanita and Kathleen’s attempt to confront Hillary. They need to ask Hillary to get her husband to admit what he did and make a public apology. There is a YouTube for you.
What FReeper is anywhere between Arkansas and Virginia (I think that’s where Kathleen is) who has a good camera and wants to do the video. You could become famous. Or, you could end up in Ft. ........ well, never mind that thought. I don’t want to discourage you.
Exactly. Hillery-Rotten is an imperious reptile, with a cold stone where a heart ought to be. If we don't manage to keep her out of the WH, then God help us all.
[Apologies to real reptiles everywhere.]
Also, President Bush has addressed the issues you mentioned in the past. Hillary has not addressed the Broaddrick issue, and it DOES apply to her because she was a so-called champion of women for years, yet now she acts as if she doesn't even know who Juanita Broddrick is or what her claim is. Hillary lives in two Americas-- one supports liberal rape survivors and the other detests conservative rape survivors.
And these are just the victims we KNOW about.
Two reporters had guts in this matter. Lisa Myers and Sam Donaldson.

Rape? See my attorney
How does Bill Clinton explain his problems? Somebody upstairs just doesn’t like him, he explained at his latest press conference.
His explanation came in response to a question from Sarah McClendon, the biggest nut in the White House press corps. She asked, and I quote: “Sir, will you tell us why you think the people have been so mean to you? Is it a conspiracy? Is it a plan? They have treated you worse than they treated Abe Lincoln!”
McClendon may have first-hand knowledge. It seems like she’s been around the White House long enough to recall what kind of treatment old Honest Abe received. Here’s how Clinton answered:
“You know, one of my favorite jokes — you know, that story about the guy that is walking along the Grand Canyon, and he falls off? And he is falling hundreds of feet to certain death and he reaches out. He sees a little twig on the side of the canyon and he ... grabs it. He takes a ... deep breath, and then all of a sudden he sees the roots of the twig start to come loose. And he looks up in the sky, and he said, ‘Lord, why me? Why me? I pay my taxes, I go to work every day; why me? And this thunderous voice says: ‘Son, there is just something about you I don’t like.’”
It was that question and that not-very-funny response that set the stage at last Friday’s press conference for Sam Donaldson’s grilling about Juanita Broaddrick’s rape charge against the president.
“Mr. President, when Juanita Broaddrick leveled her charges against you of rape in a nationally televised interview, your attorney, David Kendall, issued a statement denying them. But shouldn’t you speak directly on this matter and reassure the public? And if they are not true, can you tell us what your relationship with Mrs. Broaddrick was, if any?”
Clinton responded: “Well, five weeks ago today, five weeks ago today, I stood in the Rose Garden after the Senate voted, and I told you that I thought I owed it to the American people to give them 100 percent of my time and to focus on their business, and that I would leave it to others to decide whether they would follow that lead. And that is why I have decided, as soon as that vote was over, that I would allow all future questions to be answered by my attorneys. And I think the American people do understand it and support it, and I think it was the right decision.”
Donaldson: “Can you not simply deny it, sir?”
Clinton: “There’s been a statement made by my attorney. He speaks for me, and I think he spoke quite clearly.”
And that’s how Clinton dealt with the only rape charge ever leveled against a sitting U.S. president. Maybe it’s time to review Kendall’s “clear” response to Broaddrick’s charge.
“Any allegation that the president assaulted Mrs. Broaddrick more than 20 years ago is absolutely false.”
Is that clear enough for you?
Actually, it’s not even a straightforward denial. Instead, it is more legalistic parsing of words.
Why did Kendall use the word “any” when the question on the table is about one very specific allegation? The fifth word of the statement — “president” — is also noteworthy. Of course, no one, including Mrs. Broaddrick, suggests Bill Clinton was president at the time of the assault. And no one suggests the president at the time of the crime, Jimmy Carter, was responsible for the attack. Notice that Kendall’s statement refers to the victim as Mrs. Broaddrick. Of course, in 1978, when she was raped in a hotel room, her name was not Mrs. Broaddrick. So here’s another possible lawyerly hairsplitting technicality.
So, the question remains, why won’t Clinton address this important allegation?
The answer is: Because the White House press corps and Congress won’t force him to answer it. They have let him off the hook. Clinton beat the rap on perjury and obstruction of justice, so he won’t be held accountable for rape.
Can you live with that America? And, under the circumstances, can you trust this man to deal honestly and forthrightly with bigger, national-security issues such as the theft of nuclear secrets by the Chinese?
I had a report that I thought was credible regarding an assault Bill made as governor. I was told that he had a trooper deliver a note of apology to the woman. I’ve never been able to track that down.
I believe Bill Clinton is a classical sexual predator. Like all predators, he can sense weakness in his intended 'meal' or victim. In Katherine Willey's case, her whole life was imploding due to bad financial decisions made by her husband.
Juanita Broaddrick, there was pending legislation which would have greatly affect her businesses. I would suspect that in every allegation, research would show the victim was in some kind of difficulty, either financially or emotionally.
As to Monica Lewinsky? She was available, easy .... does a hunting lion pass up a cripple on the edge of a herd?
As to what makes a predator like WJC?
Don't need to waste the bandwidth, but I suspect his whole life in politics is a mechanism to gain approval. The reward; gaining power over venerable women.
But he is fighting an internal demon that will never rest.
While he was attorney general and thinking about running as governor, Bill was at dinner with some of his associates, one of whom I know. How typical is this? He said (paraphrasing) — Just think how many women I can get as govenor.
Yep. Exactly right.
And we have to be careful because as Katherine learned, she's "taking names."
