Hillary Clinton in 2002: George W. Bush Was ‘Selected, Not Elected’
National Review ^ | October 20, 2016 9:18 AM | by JIM GERAGHTY

It is completely irresponsible to argue that a president who reaches 270 electoral votes is not “elected” and legitimate, right, Hillary Clinton?

(However in 2002) At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been “selected” president, not elected....

Democrats did not get to “cherry pick” falsely re-examined ballots in three Florida counties (they didn’t want all the Florida votes recounted) and they say “selected”.

This meme is horsesh!t from its very inception, yet they keep propagating that same old lie.

As I find SO MANY people are not rationally looking at this election, and many also like neither candidate. I have come up with a new approach (though I am sure used by others).

I ignore the issues (Glenn Beck types don’t believe him on them anyway) and SCOTUS picks. His superiority on these are self-evident, so I waste no more time.

Whoever is elected, 40% of the country is going to be jumping and screaming for the next four years.

If Trump is elected, there is ZERO chance that it will be an ethics charge of violating the public trust as a government official or an officer of the court. He will be only be attacked for past business dealings, and maybe more women will say he assaulted them.

The Clintons will have all that, PLUS the abuse of office by HRC, and the large scale coruption of the office by the Clinton Foundation.

Which one will more likely freeze the country?

IF you still don’t like either of them, what can Trump get away with that is beyond the pale that won’t be pointed out by the Democrats, the media or half the Republicans INCLUDING the current Speaker of the House?

My favorite part of the 2000 election was when Gore called Bush to concede the race and congratulate the winner.

Then Gore called him back and said, “Changed my mind.”

That’s the very definition of “not accepting the result”.

Who will do least HARM? To us the answer is obvious, but to leftists "harm" consists of not being allowed to kill babies or to to dictate against any display of Christian faith, and to make the moocher class work for their loot.

Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich in politics unless you were a crook. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years in politics, and want even more. Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way. Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled

Those who are eager for abortion are outside the realm of people with whom I normally have political discussions. They are on board for HRC and always have been.

“George W Bush was selected”

Is she speaking as one with first hand knowledge of how things work? As in, it’s her ‘turn’ now? Hope not.

ALL the Dems said Bush was illegitimate - once again their own words hang them.

Trump could have knocked the question, Hillary and Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Hillary’s latest campaign shill) to the dustbin.

“Chris, it sounds like you’re saying that if I do what Democrat Vice President Gore did with the 2000 Presidential election, that would be an absolutely awful thing to do. That’s pretty hypocritical, isn’t it, Chris?”

Why do you think that they didn’t ask Hitlery about it at the debates? They already knew her response.

The women who are most militant about abortion "rights" are usually the ones who are least likely to ever "need" one!
