      XPost: law.school.corps, okinawa.food.misc, alt.society.sustainable       XPost: misc.taxes              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.              16) Hillary’s radical pal, Saul Alinsky              As WND has reported, the exact nature and extent of Hillary’s       relationship with radical community organizer Saul Alinsky has       long been the subject of speculation and intrigue. The interest       has been largely fueled by her suppressed and later released 92-       page senior thesis for Wellesley College offering an extensive,       largely positive critique of Alinsky and his work.              WND recently found that long after Alinsky’s death in June 1972,       a group Clinton co-chaired maintained a working relationship       with Alinsky’s main community organizing outfit, the Industrial       Areas Foundation, or IAF.              The partnership extended into the 1990s and yielded influence       over the education policy of the Clinton presidency. Dick       Morris, a former top political adviser to Bill Clinton both as       governor of Arkansas and as president, noted to WND that       education reform “is the key issue Hillary Clinton used to       propel herself independently to the forefront of Arkansas       politics during Bill’s governorship.”              “The revelation of how closely linked her efforts were back in       the 80s – and have been since – to an Alinsky radical front       group is deeply disturbing and expands our understanding of       Hillary’s fundamental radicalism and commitment to the new left       of Saul Alinsky,” Morris said.              Hillary was said to have met with Alinsky several times in 1968,       when she was writing her thesis. In her most recent memoir,       Hillary wrote that she rejected a job offer from Alinsky to       instead attend law school.              The Hillary-Alinsky relationship received more media attention       last September, when the Washington Free Beacon uncovered direct       correspondence between Clinton and Alinsky from the archives of       Alinsky’s IAF. The correspondence dates to the summer of 1971,       when the 23-year-old Clinton was living in Berkeley, California,       and interning at the law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein. In       a July 8, 1971, letter to Alinsky marked “personal,” Hillary       wrote: “Dear Saul, When is that new book [Rules for Radicals]       coming out – or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment       of Revelation?              “I have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille       [for Radicals] and need some new material to throw at people,”       she wrote, referring to a 1948 Alinsky treatise on community       organizing.              The Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman noted the letter documents       Hillary and Alinsky had kept in touch since she entered Yale and       that Alinsky even offered her advice on campus activism.              Hillary wrote that she missed their regular conversations and       asked if Alinsky would be able to meet her the next time he was       in California.              “I am living in Berkeley and working in Oakland for the summer       and would love to see you,” she wrote. “Let me know if there is       any chance of our getting together.”              Sounds like Obama and Bill Ayers...                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
