Dick Morris On Hillary...He knows her better than Bill, and doesn't fear her! Perhaps we should...

AN ANALYSIS WORTH READING:  

by Dick Morris , former political advisor to  President Bill Clinton

 

If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for  Hillary in which

he introduces the commercial by saying ...

 

he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's  background . .

 

beware as I was there for most of their presidency and know  them better than

just about anyone, I offer a few corrections;

 

Bill says: "In law school Hillary worked on legal services for  the poor."  

The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law  school was

helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for  torturing and

killing a federal agent.

 

She went to court every day as part of a law student  monitoring committee

trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for  appeal.

 

Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a  children's

rights project for poor kids."

 

The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of  the

California Communist Party.

 

She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all  the way to San

Francisco to take an internship with him.

 

Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but  she turned

down all the lucrative job offers."  

The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam, yes, flunked, it  is a matter of

record, and only passed the Arkansas bar.

 

She had no job offers in Arkansas , none, and only got hired  by the

University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill  was already

teaching there.

 

She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill  became Arkansas

Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was  elected Arkansas

Governor.

 

Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal  Services Board

of Directors and she became its chairman."

 

The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's  support for

Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy.

 

Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a  majority away from

Carter's choice to be chairman.

 

Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's  Hospital."  

The facts are:  Yes she did. But her main board activity,  not mentioned by

Bill, was to sit on the Wal-Mart board of directors, for a  substantial fee.

 

She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

 

Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for  all Americans

in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to create the  Children's

Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million  children with

health insurance."

 

The facts are:  Hillary had nothing to do with creating  CHIP.

 

It was included in the budget deal between Clinton and  Republican Majority

Leader Senator Trent Lott.

 

I know; I helped to negotiate the deal.

 

The money came half from the budget deal and half from the  Attorney

Generals' tobacco settlement.

 

Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

 

Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the  world."  

The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her  out of town so

that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that  Hillary was running

the White House.

 

Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and  there was no

substantive diplomacy on any of them.

 

Bill says: "Hillary was an excellent Senator who kept fighting  for

children's and women's issues."  

The facts are: Other than totally meaningless legislation like  changing the

names on courthouses and post offices, she has passed only  four substantive

pieces of legislation.

 

One set up a national park in Puerto Rico .

 

A second provided respite care for family members helping  their relatives

through Alzheimer's or other conditions.

 

And two were routine bills to aid 911 victims and responders  which were

sponsored by the entire NY delegation.

 

Presently she is trying to have the US memorialize the  Woodstock fiasco of

40 years ago.

 

Here is what bothers me more than anything else about Hillary  Clinton.

 

She has done everything possible to weaken the President and  our country

(that's you and me!) when it comes to the war on terror.

 

1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA  where they

would have access to our legal system.  

2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda  phone calls

to/from the USA .  

3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy  combatants captured on

the battlefield.

4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers  between

suspected Al Qaeda c ells and supporters in the USA .

 

5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics  used by the

military & CIA where coercion might be used when  questioning known

terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives.

 

One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a  single comment

she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the  War on Terror.

 

But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that  weaken our country

and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us.

 

Bottom line:   

 

She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues  where common

sense is abandoned.

Share this with every female democrat you know ... ask them to  prove Dick

Morris wrong.  

 

Think about it - he's said all of this openly, thus if he were  not truthful

he'd be liable for defamation of character!
