I though we stuck a fork in Dan Quayle's Council on Competitiveness a long time ago?SaintsInDome2006 said:
What's the difference between what she did and what Bush did? Both acted on the belief in WMD.
He knew or should have known the intelligence from Curveball was not trustworthy, but he didn't care, he just wanted revenge for trying to kill his daddy.
Hillary was briefed on the info but did not have full access to the information Bush or Chaney did. But if it makes you feel better, keep saying she knew just as much as they did and run on it and see how far that gets you in the general election. Forget Benghazi and the emails, campaign on that winning issue - I am really looking forward to seeing that.
So, assuming what you posted was intended to be a joke, what's the difference between her and Bush again?
This is one of my favorite events of politics. I love watching democrats trying to walk that line between "I am smarter than everyone in the room" and "damn, I was duped".
She is still blowing everyone away on sheer name recognition tied to favorability

No, 61% did not say she is not honest. The 61% figure includes those that say honest describes her only slightly well and that is not the same as saying she is dishonest. If they broke it down further that could have a been a majority of those who answered the question rather than those who said not at all. As usual, in your zeal to bash Hillary with anything/everything you make an interpretation of the data that isn't justified. Sheesh.
Partisans. If you ask a member of the Blue Tribe whether Hillary Clinton is honest, what they hear is "Is the Blue Tribe good?" It's the same way that Red Tribe members don't truly believe that Obama is a Muslim, but they still tell pollsters that because what they really mean to say is "The Blue Tribe is bad."
22% say very honest, 15% say somewhat honest, hence 37% think she is honest to some degree. The main thing is that any way you shake it twice as many people think she is (somewhat to very) dishonest than think she is (somewhat to very) honest. That includes (per AP) 40% of Democrats and 60% of indies who don't think the word "honest" applies to her.
Yep, I posted that above.
"Man, you'd look great in that Caprice. She's a real cream puff, just 40,000 miles driven by an old lady to church every Sunday. Let me tell you about this rust-proofing special we're running..."
She's probably going to win. I also don't think anyone has explained how the GOP is going to get around winning the battleground states. The only way I see it i if they do something to capture (more of) the Hispanic vote.
I don't either but a 60 point lead over him gives her the slightest of chances.
Chafee, Sanders, Hillary who says 'grandma' every five seconds.... that primary is going to look like a Depends commercial.
I don't think I have the wherewithal but I would be curious what the all time list of ages of presidential candidates and results are.
She had a 30 point lead in October 2007 over Obama and look how that turned out. Plus, Rhode Island gives Chafee a pretty big state already in his back pocket.
For a semi-serious point campaign finance also happens to be Chafee's big issue and again people trust him on it, like Sanders.
What's funny about this is that Hillary has now stopped accepting fees but anything Bill makes, Hillary makes. You pay Bill, you pay Hillary. Hillary cannot control Bill.http://news.yahoo.com/bill-clinton-keep-giving-speeches-pay-bills-153748288.html
Washington (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton said in an interview that aired Monday he will keep giving lucrative speeches "to pay our bills" while wife Hillary Clinton runs for the White House.
Defending his charity work on a trip to Africa, Clinton said Hillary told him no foreign official has sought to influence her through donations to the family's foundation, which has come under fire for accepting millions of dollars from foreign governments.
Bill Clinton told NBC News he would step down from running the foundation "if it's the right thing to do."
But he insisted he would maintain a schedule of speaking events -- several of which reportedly paid him $500,000 a pop in recent years -- despite amassing a fortune in the 14 years since leaving the White House.
"Oh, yeah. I've got to pay our bills," Clinton said when asked if he would carry on with paid speaking engagements.
Clinton said he gives 10 percent of his revenue each year to the Clinton Foundation, and that Hillary "gave 17 percent" in the years she was with it.
Hillary Clinton has since stepped down from the foundation, amid accusations that her involvement with it raised potential conflicts of interest.
Criticism has persisted, however, and her husband sought to tamp down accusations that foreign donors tried to buy influence with the Democratic presidential frontrunner.
"I asked Hillary about this," Clinton told NBC during a charity trip to Africa.
"She said 'no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you. No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence to that effect.'"
The comments come the day before publication of a potentially damning book, "Clinton Cash," which is said to detail potential financial conflicts involving the Clinton Foundation.
"I don't think there's anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people and countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people," Bill Clinton said.
Bottom line is the future president and her spouse have a non-profit that is about to get a $1 million payment from the Moroccan government.
Next breath:
That is a real winner.
Pretty sure Bill has a decidedly different definition of inappropriate than most people.
Wait a second gents, we missed something:
Well he is a lawyer.
Yes, I'm thinking Danny DeVito in The Rainmaker kind of lawyer. Of course Hillary would be Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton...
