Not 'nothing'! Now, maybe not as big as Clinton's favors regarding sale of technology to Chinese firms (via Clinton donor Loral) or his quid pro quo with trial lawyers when he vetoed litigation reform (money given the same day as veto), or letting Johnny Chung into the White House, ... but just a small example of Clintonian corruption and a failure of a 'zero tolerance' policy wrt it by the media and public.

Democrats seem to tolerate corruption in their party leaders a lot more than Republicans do.

'quick learner' She votes against extending Bush tax cuts even after they proved effectiveness ingrowing hte economy. She a a clueless slow learner on economic reality. 3. Good judgement? Guffaw. the 'smartest woman in America' was the last woman to figure out her husband was lying about an affair?!? Come now, if she cant see through that, how is she going to see through the bluffs of the North Koreans, etc.?!? Her relationship with Bill got her on thrid base and she thins she hit a triple. The announcement video was faux-Oprah. I bet it works great for the frustrated-women demographic, but to me its as phony as, er ... her husband. Voting for Hillary is like voting to live with your mother-in-law for the next 4 years. My dialog to her would be: "Hillary, Go Away!" "Hilary is smart.

Everyone is for that now." Good God what an ignorant comment! Socialized medicine which is the reality behind the "universal health care", would be a disaster for USA. We dont need Canada-care and we dont need Democrats' tax-more regulate-more and destroy market mechanisms 'solutions'. The Hillary 1994 Plan would have been awful, thank goodness it was deepsixed, and the current Democrat plan to destroy market mechanisms in Medicare drug benefits is bad, and the repeated calls for 'universal health care' is a siren call for puttin one seventh of our economy on a fully socialistic footing. Phooey to it all. It stinks. It will make us sicker and poorer as a whole. Health care is outrageously expensive today because of decades of such wrong-headed political mishandling incrementally making things worse in the name of 'health care for all'. If we want to go for real 21st century medicine, listen to the solutions of Newt Gingrich, and or look at this proposal, Health care CHOICE Act: http://www.heritage.org/Research/HealthCare/wm1164.cfm "Universal Health Care?

His comment was about made-up charges and conspiracy's that have no relevance to Hillary as a candidate. You want to rip her for politics, her husband, her time as First lady and even her Universal Health Care, fine. But, there is no disagreement that Whitewater amounted to nothing, that no, the Clintons were not murdering cabinet officials despite what the National Enquirer says and I don't know what the hell the Hillary had to do with Elian Gonzales and Waco. If you are serious in your criticisms with her fine, but its going to be one pitiful race if all we hear is about McCain's "black" love-child and Hillary sniping Vince Foster from the "grassy knoll".
