Hillary: leadership lacking

Middletown – Sen. Hillary Clinton said yesterday during an appearance at Middletown's Paramount Theatre that neither the Bush administration nor the Securities and Exchange Commission has "shown much leadership" during recent corporate accounting scandals.

"I don't think it is adequate to just say there are some bad people and that we're going to go after them," she said. "People depend upon our market to be transparent."

She did not, however, specifically call for the resignation of SEC chief Harvey Pitt.

Clinton pointed to the origin of current rules during the Great Depression and said the laws need to be updated for the global and Internet economy of the 21st century.

"We need to go further than enforcing the laws that we've got because I don't think the laws are necessarily adequate," she said. "Human nature hasn't changed in 60 or 70 years. It hasn't changed in a million years. We have got to stay ahead of all those natural impulses people have to take advantage of each other."

......all those natural impulses people have to take advantage of each other."

You know about those impulses first hand, don't you, Hillary?

Even though New York is the liberal capital of the U.S., I still believed New York voters would have seen through all the lies, corruption and self-serving interests to defeat her. It scares me to think what would happen if she clawed her way to the Democrat nomination and made a run for the WH. I can see it all now............the dregs of American society rallying by her side shouting, "It's for the children, the poor, the disadvantaged, the minorities..." the same crock of Democrat rhetoric that elected that scumbag husband of hers, the Kennedy's, Carter and such illustrious wannabes like Daschle and Gore.

Once I read Saul Alynsky, the current Democrat mindset(which is really a radical mindset) is so clear, easy to spot, and one can easily anticipate exactly what they will do in response to any situation. If the minority morons in the senate are capable of reading(since they frequently vote on bills they admit they never even read), they should read that book until they can at least retain 20% of it's content.

Hillary's problem -- that will stick with her for life -- is that she is percieved by 100% of America, both liberals and conservatives, both supporters and foes, as an ultra-partisan politician.

People view her each and every utterance on ANY topic through the prism of partisan squabbling. Therefore, people tend to disregard her statements like this one.

Conversely, Bush's STRONG suit, is his BI-partisanship, which he has tenaciously stuck to. When Bush gets mad at something, people's ears perk up because he so rarely criticizes anyone. He has mastered the art of saving his ammo till he sees the whites of their eyes. As time has gone by, I've learned to appreciate that more and more.

Too bad we all can't have insider information like you did, sweety.

her transparent cattle future scandal

Was Soros in on that at all?

I think you're on to something! Check this out:

Records and reports of federal regulators show a Chicago-based commodity trading firm, LFG, did not keep proper records and did not conduct "due diligence", an industry term meaning accurately determining who exactly are, in fact, their clients and where they actually are located. [The full title of the firm is since about 1999, REFCO-LFG Division, 111 W. Jackson Blvd.,17th floor, Chicago IL 60604; (312) 441-6000. REFCO started out as an obscure cattle-trading firm, Arkansas and elsewhere, and became a giant futures trading firm based in Chicago. They reportedly "bought" early in her career Hillary Rodham Clinton by arranging a hundred thousand dollar "profit" on a few dollar transaction. They have repeatedly somehow escaped full scrutiny and punishment in a variety of scandals; the silver scandal of the early 1980s; the soybean and currency scandals in Chicago of 1989-1992, where a number of "no clout" small fry were sent to prison including the "Soybean Ten". REFCO is reportedly a trading front for international financial pirate George Soros who shares corrupt deals with the Rothschilds such as the attack on the British Pound Sterling and the Bank of England, a few years ago. Critics allege REFCO "owns" the federal regulators.

So who as a favor would assist Soros in directing attacks at Bush?

[VANHALEN2002]

My questions is...when is Karl Rove going to open the ball on her? She's has enough bags that he must be having trouble finding where to start.

[mewzilla]

I'm sure Rove knows all about keeping his powder dry :) In any case, I suspect that there a lot of folks who don't want to see another Toon in office. Not Pubbies necessarily, just decent Americans who also believe in keeping their powder dry. And who have plenty of informational ammo.

In other words, after her decision to run, le deluge.
