Nope. Not at all. Like I said, I don't support her for her previous job.
And in no way effects your opinion of what kind of president she would be. Amazing. Do you black out the history of all other candidates too or just with Mrs. Bill Clinton? Did Kerry's service in the military have no roll in your opinion of him? How about Bill Clinton's tenure as governor? Just how do you rate those whom you vote for if you ignore everything previous in thier lives?
You asked what I thought was the most important piece. Are you disagreeing that it was the most important to me? Kind of odd.
Nope just pointing out that is certainly wasn't a major piece of new legislation which she alone created and got through the process. Noting that this was the only one you could come up with.
2005. I don't know the exact date.
Are you sure it was passed?
And I know I still don't care.
So you don't know of any major accomplishments during her tenure as a high profile attorney, can't site anything during her term as a Senator that amounts to anything and don't care that she lied to the RTC and ripped off the taxpayer to get her criminal friends a sweatheart deal.
What exactly is it that makes you believe she would be a good president?
Politicians use their political power to help out their interests all the time. Try and find one who doesn't. And as far as helping out a buddy goes, this one's pretty mild.
I think this was a little more than a politician, which she wasn't at the time, helping out a couple of friends.
You really don't know about Mrs. Bill Clinton's past do you.
But I will take note of your position in these matters and trust that I will not see any post from you chastizing Republicans over corruption charges since it really doesn't matter to you.
Howabout running for and holding a public office?
THAT's what makes you believe Mrs. Bill Clinton is more qualified to sit as President over Condi Rices experience as head of the NSA and Secretary of State let alone all her experience prior to reaching a cabinet level position. She slipped into a Senate seat in a state she had never lived on purely on her husbands coat tails. THAT makes her more qualified than Rice? Amazing.
Quote:
not to mention respect world wide.
Me>> And Condi doesn't?
According to whom. It seems to me she getting quite a bit of respect.
Me>> Experience at what? What did Mrs. Bill Clinton do at the White House versus what Condi Rice has done? What accomplishments does Mrs. Bill Clinton have on her resume' versus Condi Rice?
How about in the White House, the executive branch?
Here is her resume' try to convince me that Mrs. Bill Clinton is more qualified to be the leader of our country.
