.• In elementary school, Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected co-captain of the safety patrol in 1957.

• In 2005, Mrs. Clinton ordered the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the secret sex scenes that were placed in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

• She grew up in Park Ridge, Ill., in a two-party family with her father, Hugh Rodham, a no-nonsense Navy chief petty officer, supporting the Republican Party, while her mother, Dorothy, was a Democrat.

• Growing up, Mrs. Clinton would often play games of strategy such as Clue, Monopoly and Concentration with her mother.

• During her time at Wellesley College in the late 1960s, she served as president of the campus's Young Republicans.

• In her 2003 autobiography Living History, she said deciding to stay married to President Bill Clinton after his affair with Monica Lewinsky and whether to run for the U.S. Senate were the most difficult decisions of her life.

• Mrs. Clinton became the only first lady to be elected to Congress when she won a Senate race in November 2000. She beat Republican Rick Lazio, who became the nominee after New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani pulled out of the race.

• Mrs. Clinton picked up a Game Boy habit while spending long hours next to her dying father.

Interesting. Every time I try to link to that Dallas News site, my Internet Explorer session crashes. I’m going to try it on another PC, maybe use Firefox.

Don’t think Hill was ever a Girl Scout, lol.

I know the Boy Scouts don't allow homosexuals. Do the Girl Scouts forbid them, too?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com everything i need t know about the Beast, i learned in the sandbox...

she doesn't work and play with others, she doesn't share her stuff - only your stuff, she's not to be trusted, she's just not a nice person.

anything more than that, is simply to loath her.

Mrs. Clinton picked up a Game Boy habit while spending long hours next to her dying father.

Even if this statement were true it sounds like BS.

I would agree, based on PIAPS age, like myself, I think a Game Boy would quickly become very boring and I would rather read a book.

After all, she is the smartest women in the world and she plays a kids game for hours?

Had to look it up:

1. PIAPS

This is the acronym used to describe Hillary Clinton. It stands for “Pig In A Pants Suit.”

I don't think so. I went to the main headquarters in Dallas to get patches for my Brownie troop (back in the 80's) and it was amazing how many worked there.

That’s scary. If I had girls, I guess I’d be teaching them outdoor skills myself.

“You sure are proud of that tagline.”

I spent some time trying figure out how to get the message to fit on a bumper sticker, and that’s the best I could come up with.
Once she steals the nomination, I’ll actually have it printed up into bumperstickers.

And...she ENABLED her husband’s ways just to remain with him for the power. There are many other women out there who had the same problems with husbands and...there are men out there as well who have had the same problem with wives. However, hillleree clintin had the means to walk away from this situation many times over. She had the finances, the support, the family, the friends all of it. Whereas, millions of others in her same position did not and could not. So, I dont’ want to hear all about the little wife who was wronged. She knew about it and she put up with it. She’s always talking about empowering women well, she didn’t do too good of a job on her ownself did she? Why? She NEEDED to hang with old willie to make sure she got the attention she needed, and could soak in the power that he had. In the end...what good did it do her?????? Makes me laugh. Go Barack!!!

Knowing what I know now.......I’m glad I got involved as a troop leader. I wasn’t in it for a career....but to teach a love of outdoor activities, safety and cooperation to 13 little girls from ages 8-12. My daughter (8 at the time) still talks about all the things we did and told me she’s kept in touch with a couple of the girls.... who say those times were the highlight of their elementary school years. (which makes it all worthwhile)

God I hope so. They would have been scary in the Camp Fire Girls, too.

I had been on Reagan’s campaign staff. During the Clinton-Lewinsky mess, another former staffer and I were asked at a party, how Nancy Reagan would have handle a similar situation. We both said without looking at each other, in unison, that, “Nancy would have cut it off.” Nancy would have booted him, and thrown his clothes out on the WH lawn, and would have announced that “Ronnie has gone to live with the Bushes.”

I hope my boys come out of Boy Scouts with the same results. Bless you.
