HILLARY'S ADVICE TO PREZ
NY Post ^ | 7/31

Posted on 07/31/2004 12:05:21 AM PDT by ambrose

July 31, 2004 -- BOSTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton warned President Bush against evoking too many 9/11 images in his re-election campaign and the GOP convention in New York or Americans would reject him as an "exploiter." Clinton said that while Bush, as commander in chief, is entitled to bring up and talk about the 9/11 terror attacks, relying on it too heavily will invite criticism and ultimately backfire.

"It has to be done in a careful way or people will think he's exploiting it," said Clinton in an interview with The Post at the end of the Democratic convention.

"He is the president, so he has a right to bring it up, but if he's not careful, people will think he's exploiting it" for partisan advantage, said Clinton.

"So is the witch giving genuine advice, concerned that the issue could backfire on Bush and thus hurt her chances?

Or is she now in the tank for Kerry, having been promised a Supreme Court appointment?'

I wouldn't trust her or doofus Bill either way. They need to keep their chops out of the Bush/Kerry race. They are thee most ingratiating self serving parasites on the planet. They care only about themselves. sHillary, Carpet munching Old bag

Hillary always has that CRAZED wide eyed look during her speeches like past dictators. They don't talk with or to the audience, they talk AT the people.

"Let there be no mistake: I will never hesitate to use force when it is required. Any attack will be met with a swift and certain response."

Now, I am glad to hear that Kerry will hit someone or something AFTER we are attacked but that is not what the job of the Commander in Chief.

Well, at least retaliating after an attack would be a step up from the Sink Master and his wimpy refusal to do much of anything in the face of escalating terrorism.

But the fact is that we have to move heaven and earth to make sure that we pre-empt attacks and that another morning like 9/11 NEVER AGAIN happens! Merely hitting back after thousands of innocent Americans have been brutally slaughtered just isn't enough. We need something better than a prevent defense.

Don't you mean screech?

You'd think someone in her position would get a voice coach.

The gall of those people is maddening. I wish someone would take her on about her comment about Bush, in public.

"He is the president, so he has a right to bring it up, but if he's not careful, people will think he's exploiting it" for partisan advantage, be reminded of how well he acted in those days, and compare against the wusses who suddenly have a better plan

"That, simply cannot stand," said Clinton.

My experience has been quite the opposite with her. She always seems normal, intelligent, and all too reasonable. You might have watched her more often than I have, though. I find her English to be the most disturbing thing of all. Seh calmly says things like:

Within the context of a society that we perceive -- now we can talk about reality, and I would like to talk about reality sometime, authentic reality, inauthentic reality, and what we have to accept of what we see -- but our perception of it is that it hovers often between the possibility of disaster and the potentiality for imaginatively responding to men's needs. There's a very strange conservative strain that goes through a lot of New Left, collegiate protests that I find very intriguing because it harkens back to a lot of the old virtues, to the fulfillment of original ideas. And it's also a very unique American experience. It's such a great adventure. If the experiment in human living doesn't work in this country, in this age, it's not going to work anywhere.
-- Wellesley commencement speech, 1969
That's insane talk. But in the "context" of a commencement speech on an elite college campus, it comes across as being quite reasonable.

Sort of like the way Kerry's "Vietnam" strategy has backfired.

We lost in Vietnam, largely because of people like him.

Yeah I am sure when she is talking in small groups or one to one but when she takes a podium she goes into that wide eyed fixated diabolical mode.

Geebers, it's insane gibberish in a bottle of snake oil. Hillarys Wellesly speech is pure over lapping extastential philosophy tripe. And no one dares stand alone to refute it cause they fear(ed) they would get labeled "stupid". sHillary peddling Emporers rags.

Why, whatever would she know about exploiting something for partisan advantage?

I agree. I will rejoice the day she is held to account.
