Can any Hillary supporter name a single accomplishment she can tie her name to?

Question

When you start running on with the vague references, nonsensical platitudes, and outright demagoguery, you will only be making my point.

I can't help but notice there is not a single reference to her work while serving as a Senator-but what the hell, let's make her President. Typical liberal logic!!!

Answer 1

* The National Law Journal listed Hillary Clinton as among the most influential lawyers in 1988 and 1991.
* She chaired the Children's Defense Fund and, as First Lady, did a great deal of work for the support of children and women, not just in the USA but worldwide.
* Faculty, University of Arkanasa Law School.
* Arkansas Woman of the Year, 1983
* Arkansas Mother of the Year, 1984
* Chair of the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, 1993
* Passed funding to pay for NYC projects in response to 9/11
* Assisted landmine victims in other countries (one of Princess Diana's favorite causes as well)
* Assisted family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care
* A voice for women veterans at a time when sexual assault in the military is climbing.
* An advocate for 9/11 emergency workers suffering from not-so-mysterious health problems.
* Creator of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
* An experienced diplomat who visited 86 nations during her husband's presidential term
* Founder of the Justice Department's Office on Violence Against Women.

Hey, you ASKED.

ETA -- Many of these ARE as a senator. A person is a combination of all their life experiences, not just the last 7 years.

Answer 2

Of course I can, anyone can, if they actually want to know, that is. How many would you like? There's nothing vague about them.

1) Working with New York's senior senator, Charles Schumer, she helped secure $21.4 billion in funding for the World Trade Center site's redevelopment.

2) After the Iraq War began, Clinton made trips to both Iraq and Afghanistan to visit American troops stationed there, such as the 10th Mountain Division based in Fort Drum, New York. On a visit to Iraq in February 2005, Clinton noted that the insurgency had failed to disrupt the democratic elections held earlier, and that parts of the country were functioning well. Noting that war deployments are draining regular and reserve forces, she co-introduced legislation to increase the size of the regular United States Army by 80,000 soldiers to ease the strain.

3) In 2005, Clinton and Senator Lindsey Graham cosponsored the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, which provides incentives and rewards for completely domestic American manufacturing companies.

4) Senator Clinton led a bipartisan effort to bring broadband access to rural communities. She cosponsored the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, which encourages research and development in the field of nanotechnology.

5) She introduced an amendment that funds job creation to repair, renovate and modernize public schools in New York State.

6) In 2005, Clinton was joined by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who once led the Republican opposition to her husband's administration, in support of a proposal for incremental universal health care.

7) Along with Senators Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh, she introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act, intended to protect children from inappropriate content found in video games.

All verifiable to Sen. Clinton. If you don't accept Wikipedia, I can give you several other sites with this same information. I know you really didn't want to know, this is just a flame question. But after all, you asked. There's more... I only went through the year 2005, too little space and too many references :-).

EDIT:

DO YOU HAVE A READING COMPREHENSION PROBLEM? EVERYTHING LISTED WAS DONE WHILE SHE WAS SENATOR. DOH!

Honestly you Clinton Haters crack me up. You ask these questions as if she really has no qualifications, and then give a bunch of thumbs down to someone for having the nerve to actually list a small portion of them out for you. Does reading the truth burn all your eyes or something?
Very funny...

Answer 3

That will come as a surprise to the other 99 US Senators, who I am sure feel their election to Congress was a decent accomplishment.

Answer 4

Forgiving Bill for cheating on her with Monica. j/k

Look it up. She was an influential attorney, earning the honor of one of the top 100 most influential lawyers in America, according to the National Law Journal. I'm not a Democrat and still even I can find positive qualities in her.

Answer 5

Travel gate, white water, threatening Juanita Broderick,
Making millions while living on Bills, $325,000 a year salary in the white house.

Answer 6

She's a non issue, so what does it really matter? By the way the elephant looks white. Not a good sign.

Answer 7

Graduated as a lawyer! An improvement over law school reject Bush.
The only accomplishment Bush had in 2000 was getting convcted for drunk driving, so I guess she is an improvement over that too.

Answer 8

She married one of the greatest presidents who ever lived.Anyone that can pull us out of the mess this country was in is a great man and so sense Hillary is married to him maybe with his guidance she can do it to.

Answer 9

I might ask the same question of George Bush supporters. Any accomplishments after all these years in office? Thats what I thought.....

Answer 10

I'm not one of her supporters, but I thought the instigation of health care reform, which ended in her giving HMO's, attorneys and insurance companies everything they wanted, was a brilliant political achievement.

- for both herself and them.
