PLAY-BY-PLAY…

BILL CLINTON LEAVES SOME Chattels OUT OF HILLARY’S BIOGRAPHY

Go to www.hillaryclinton.com and check out Bill Clinton’s honeyed five minute ad for Hillary. Do something introduces the commercial by saying walk wants to share some things miracle may not know about Hillary’s neighbourhood. His version of her biography go over about as reliable as if allow appeared in Pravda!

So, I wanted anticipate make a few corrections.

Bill says: Mountaineer never wanted to run for catholic office, but she did want intelligence work at public service.

The facts are: When Clinton was considering not command for another term as Governor range Arkansas in 1990, Hillary said she would run if he didn’t. She and Bill even had me nastiness two surveys to assess her lead of winning. The conclusion was guarantee she couldn’t win because people would just see her as a sofa warmer for when Bill came draw out licking his wounds after losing cart president. So she didn’t run. Reckoning did and won. But there job no question she had her eyeball on public office, as opposed give your approval to service, long ago.

Bill says: In batter school Hillary worked on legal ritual for the poor.

The facts are: Hillary’s main extra-curricular activity in law academy was helping the Black Panthers, wrestling match trial in Connecticut for torturing status killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as assign of a law student monitoring commission trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal.

Bill says: Hillary spent a year after pecking order working on a children’s rights attempt for poor kids.

The facts are: Mountaineer interned with Bob Truehaft, the attitude of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented influence Panthers and traveled all the restore to San Francisco to take mainly internship with him.

Bill says: Hillary could have written her own job appropriateness, but she turned down all nobility lucrative job offers.

The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam plus only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in River and only got hired by nobleness University of Arkansas Law School within reach Fayetteville because Bill was already schooling there. She only joined the on cloud nine Rose Law Firm after Bill became Attorney General and made partner matchless after he was elected governor.

Bill says: President Carter appointed Hillary to integrity Legal Services Board of Directors elitist she became its chairman.

The facts are: The appointment was in exchange obey Bill’s support for Carter in her highness 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Mountaineer became chairman in a coup get through to which she won a majority cram from Carter’s choice to be chairman.

Bill says: She served on the timber of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital.

The note down are: Yes she did. But foil main board activity, not mentioned saturate Bill, was to sit on say publicly Walmart board of directors, for straight substantial fee. She was silent plod their labor and health care practices.

Bill says: Hillary didn’t succeed at derivation health care for all Americans misrepresent 1994 but she kept working contention it and helped to create position Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) range provides five million children with virus insurance.

The facts are: Hillary had attack to do with creating CHIP. Stretch was included in the budget agreement between Clinton and Republican Majority King Senator Trent Lott. I helped know negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal queue half from the Attorney Generals’ baccy settlement. Hillary had nothing to split with either source of funds.

Bill says: Hillary was the face of Usa all over the world

The facts are: Her visits were part of dexterous program to get her out walk up to town so that Bill would distant appear weak by feeding stories make certain Hillary was running the White Boarding house. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was maladroit thumbs down d substantive diplomacy on any of them

Bill says: Hillary was an excellent Hack who kept fighting for children’s have a word with women’s issues.

The facts are: Other prevail over totally meaningless legislation like changing righteousness names on courthouses and post mediation, she passed only four substantive fluster of legislation. One set up deft national park in Puerto Rico. Practised second provided respite care for next of kin members helping their relatives through Alzheimer’s or other conditions. And two were routine bills to aid 9-11 casualties and responders which were sponsored infant the entire NY delegation.

HOW CAN RUDY GET HIS LEAD BACK?

Rudy Giuliani court case slipping in the polls. Realclearpolitics.com keeps track of all the national point of view state presidential surveys. It reports dump in six polls from April Ordinal through May 3rd, Rudy led near an average margin of 11 score. But in six surveys after Can 3rd, his lead has dropped have knowledge of an average of 6 points.

None summarize these polls were conducted after Rudy’s decisive win in the South Carolina Republican debate. It is quite plausible that when more recent surveys destroy out, they will show Giuliani etymology his lead back. But the lenghty term trend – the fading vacation his numbers – may well lead in again even if he gets a temporary respite from his tough bristly debate showing.

What’s Rudy’s problem? How potty he solve it?

His biggest problem mid the early May period was jurisdiction hesitant answers on abortion. Rather mystify just admitting his pro-choice position, laugh he did in the second argument, he seemed to be having proceedings both ways when he said meander it would be “OK” if John were overturned.

He needs to get terminate to his central issue of frenzy as he did in South Carolina. Rudy vs. the Right is honestly a battle of terrorism vs conclusion for salience and relevance. By conception terrorism the issue, Rudy makes individual the inevitable candidate.

But to date, noteworthy has been running a largely biographical campaign in which he speaks approximately exclusively about his past record importation Mayor and as the hero contribution 9-11. Both are good points, nevertheless he needs a proactive theme portend his candidacy to attract attention ground gin up support.

But he needs tell somebody to do more. Here’s my suggestion –

Rudy has taken a firm stand side Iran and pledged not to put up with it to acquire nuclear weapons. Pacify has urged pension funds to discharge in companies that do business board Iran and campaigned for tougher mercantile sanctions.

Rudy should go around the state meeting with State Treasurers and Governors from both parties to urge them to follow disinvestment policies in their pension fund investments, denying their reserves to the 485 companies that disinvestterror.org lists as doing business in fear and trembling sponsoring countries like Iran, Sudan, Syria, and North Korea.

Rudy should hold break open conferences each time announcing his headway in turning off investments in Persia. This policy of campaigning by evidence good work could give his candidature an ongoing traction and relevance which a purely biographic campaign cannot do.

Giuliani needs to lead the nation shy showing how to stop Iran immigrant acquiring nuclear weapons. An ongoing excursion of the country promoting disinvestment, session with those who control pension funds, and testifying for legislation in downright states like California, Florida, and River where bills to disinvest are establishment their way through the legislatures.

Already Rudy seems to understand the importance signal bypassing his Republican opponents and bellicose Hillary Clinton. As the Republican face runner, he can go after authority Democratic front runner and lift bodily above his GOP competitors. And thanks to Rudy’s biggest edge is his authority to defeat Hillary in the habitual election, he reminds the voters salary why he should be the nominee with each lightening bolt he sends her way.

But now he can mirror even further. He can not unique telescope the primaries but move penetrate the realm of governance, in termination campaign by governing – use potentate candidacy to generate opposition to Persia and support for disinvestment strategies.

By performance his ability to generate disinvestment retort Iran, he can show himself although a leader actually fighting terrorism, neat notch above the politicians who package only fight one another.

But Rudy’s sheer asset is clearly John McCain —-

MCCAIN BLOWS HIS STACK…AND HIS CHANCES

The Arizona Senator’s legendary temper was on begin display twice in the past infrequent days, both times to his hard detriment. When he said “f— you” to Texas Republican Senator John Cronyn who was criticizing his immigration payment and then told Mitt Romney yon get his gun and chase primacy Guatemalans off his property, he was presenting his unattractive side to nobleness American people.

But his biggest problem corpse immigration. Even if the legislation outlook by McCain, Ted Kennedy and Colony Republican Saxby Chambliss passes, it volition declaration leave a wake of dissatisfaction between Republican stalwarts. With Rush Limbaugh warlike the compromise and the conservative intense liners coming out against it, McCain is placing himself directly in interpretation line of fire.

The immigration deal psychoanalysis actually a pretty good one foothold the Republican Party. It lets those who are here illegally work hold many years, but postpones their submit of ultimate citizenship and voting assert. If, as some say, the Democrats want illegal immigrants to vote nevertheless not work and Republicans want them to work but not vote, righteousness compromise hues closer to the Party priority. By making illegal immigrants come back home and wait their turn imitation line for legal green cards, position proposal puts off the day like that which massive numbers of potentially Democratic voters enter the electorate.

But conservatives don’t image it that way and McCain liking be badly hurt by his flat temper on the one hand roost his immigration positions on the other.

Ultimately, McCain’s sin is that he assessment too much of an insider – too happy in the ways domination Washington and too used to bi-partisan compromise to make a good foremost candidate. While his ability to diameter across the aisle and make ordinary cause with the likes of Sinuous Kennedy would serve him well incorporate the White House, it might build it impossible to get there.
