Blame the
Clinton record
From Richard Troy
Senator Clinton used to blame her election defeats on the voters:
too many voters were African American… or liberal… or affluent…
or educated… or motivated… or… In reality, her across-the-board-rejection in the Potomac primaries demonstrates that voters see her 15 years "experience” in Washington as the problem. Health care reform has lain stillborn since her 1993 refusal to work with the Congress. The Republican ascendancy of 1994-2006 was significantly attributable to her polarizing co-Presidency.
NAFTA, now the whipping boy of job losses, was a heralded Clinton “achievement.” Impeachment driven paralysis followed her refusal to permit early settlement of the Paula Jones lawsuit. The monumental blunder
of invading Iraq had her early and continuing support – wrenching our military and sucking vast financial resources from domestic programs.
As “Commander-in-Chief” she is 0 for 1, having authorized the Iraq fiasco. And where has she been for 15 years on immigration reform? On the easy-credit-mortgage mess? On energy-independence? The “solutions”
she now trots out for her presidential
campaign are seen as just that.
