Hillary Clinton tries to show that her record is more than just talk [comes up a goose egg]
Washington Post ^ | September 11, 2015 | Karen Tumulty

For nearly a quarter-century, Hillary Rodham Clinton has played an outsized role in the nation’s consciousness as an advocate and a political survivor. Her presidential campaign’s favorite way to describe her is as “a fighter.”

But something surprising has emerged in public opinion about the former first lady, senator and secretary of state. Asked to name something tangible that Clinton has actually accomplished, many voters come up blank.

In polls and focus groups, Republicans are sensing a vulnerability in Clinton’s record that could compound the difficulties she is facing with the controversy over her decision as secretary of state to use a private e-mail account and server rather than a government one.

When Bloomberg News posed the question in May to a focus group of 10 Iowa Democrats, they praised Clinton for strength, experience and competence but could not recall a single thing she had done.

Some Democrats say that they have only a vague sense of Clinton’s actual accomplishments. Liberal activist Arnie Arnesen was the Democratic nominee for New Hampshire governor in 1992, and she often crossed paths with the Clintons as Bill Clinton made his first bid for the White House. But all these years later, Arnesen said: “I don’t really know Hillary. I know Hillary under Clinton. I know Hillary under Obama. And in the Senate she was a workhorse, not a show horse. What does that mean? It means she didn’t take a leadership role.”...

Hillary is like a Seinfeld episode. A career about nothing.

I spent part of my evening trolling this criminal's FB page. I posted pics, memes, and articles about the Criminal Foundation, "bimbo eruptions", and all things anti-clinton, and as of a few minutes ago, they are still up. I also took a perverse pleasure in calling all the posters effete and girly. Yes, it was immature and childish, but lashing out really helps the frustration of watching my country swirl around the bowl after being flushed by the likes of this criminal, president selfie stick, and the GOPe.

She'll probably have our bird whacked. (My mother in law has a parakeet who we all love)..

I know.... I know.... she's managed to expose herself as a self-serving, a-hole hypocrite.

I know, I'm being way too kind on the criminal.

Not to worry, it’s just the significant wash created by her approach to the docking area. Approaching mass displaces air!

And yet America elected a Half-Black Democrat man, with the same zero-accomplishments and far less resume.

Hillary should complain.

It means she was collecting favors & cash so she could profit in the future by selling access while claiming to be a champion for the powerless. Funny thing is happening on the way to payola the Democrats don’t want her and there are cracks in the media fortress protecting her. I’m rooting for Slow Joe to enter the race. See Joe Run! Run Joe run!

What crap. Hillary accomplished a lot. It shows how stupid liberals are.

Had Vince Foster killed

Retrained high ranking career military officers as house servants and wait staff

Destroyed the reputations of rape victims

Advocated for their rapist

Was instrumental in the deaths of thousands of American servicemen by tying their hands via ROEs that benefited terrorists.

Directly caused the deaths in Bhenghazi

“Liberated’ large numbers of FBI files from oppressive FBI control

Spent several hundred million dollars in travel resulting in zero net gain and considerable financial/influential loss to America

Contributed to the deaths and mental suffering globally of homosexuals and their families by promotion of a mental illness/deadly disease as a human right.

One could go on, literally for hours naming her actual accomplishments so I find the liberal silence on the issue rather curious.
