      XPost: alt.drugs.busts, alt.hollywood, uk.politics.misc       XPost: alt.education              During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was       fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,”       indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.              But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top       power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White       House from their days in Arkansas.              After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the       political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to       target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of       Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot       taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also       witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and       Pardongate.              Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by       the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and       obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American       public life and bitterly divided the nation.              In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has       brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among       others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals       emerges almost daily.              Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her       Democrat supporters.              But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton       fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April       revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three       significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe       Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.              Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told       WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince       members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as       the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky       idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in       the ring.              Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said       Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the       “cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”              Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her       husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her       campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems       to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us       from the core issues of the moment.”              Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a       time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.              “I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we       are asked to make a transition from the past into this new       future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our       time that we really – the American people are not at a point now       where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding       the political process,” he said.              In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton       scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary       law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.              Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your       whole credibility is being questioned?”              Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara,       because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”              With Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught       up in the lies and spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own       Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and       humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her       hypocrisy              With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency       looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary       “drama” in the White House?              If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior       is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals       involving Hillary is in order.              2) Covering Bill’s dirty deeds              The Clintons have been accused of hiring private investigators       to not only dig up dirt on perceived adversaries – such as       Juanita Broaddrick, the woman allegedly raped by Bill, and other       abused women such as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and Paula       Jones – but to stalk, scare and threaten them. Willey asserts       Hillary was behind a campaign of intimidation and harassment       against her that fit a pattern employed against numerous other       women whose claims of sexual impropriety or assault by Bill       Clinton threatened the couple’s political fortunes.              As WND reported, Willey and her husband, Ed, were Democratic       activists who founded Virginians for Clinton and helped send       Bill and Hillary to the White House in 1992. While serving as a       volunteer in the White House and facing financial hard times,       Willey says she met with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office to       request a paying position. But instead of getting help, she       says, she was subjected to “nothing short of serious sexual       harassment.” Distraught, Willey fled Clinton’s presence, only to       discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same       tragic afternoon. Later, she was drawn “unwillingly” into the       Paula Jones lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation and impeachment       proceedings.              Willey, author of the 2007 book, “Target: Caught in the       Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,” has claimed the Clinton       tag team used mob-style intimidation campaign to keep her       silent, even purportedly breaking into her home to steal her       memoirs of the events.              Despite Bill’s 20 years of alleged and admitted extra-marital       relationships, Hillary famously came to his defense shortly       after the Monica Lewinsky affair broke in 1998. Asked about the       accusations, the then-first lady said, “Certainly, I believe       they’re false. Absolutely.”              Then, in a memorable interview with the “Today” show’s Matt       Lauer, she explained years of accusations by women such as       Willey, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning: “Bill and I       have been accused of everything, including murder, by some of       the very same people who are behind these allegations,” she       said, pointing to a “vast right-wing conspiracy. … So from my       perspective this is part of a continuing political campaign       against my husband.”              What makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive       that someone would STEAL it? Kathleen Willey tells America the       shocking story in her book, “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of       Bill and Hillary Clinton.”              Later, however, when placed under oath, Bill Clinton admitted to       an affair with Flowers, as he did with Lewinksy. But Hillary’s       actions, Willey contends, indicated by word and deed that her       main concern was to ensure her husband’s proclivities didn’t       ruin their political careers.              In her book, Willey cites sources who contend Hillary began       engaging private investigators during their time in Arkansas so       she could head off any repercussions from her husband’s       behavior. The first to be dispatched were her own father and       brother when she committed to marry Bill, according to author       Jerome Levin in “The Clinton Syndrome.” Bill had left Yale              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
