the important point...
During the campaign, Clinton vowed to improve the economic picture in upstate New York, promising that her plan would deliver 200,000 New York jobs over six years
Today in the Buffalo News...

Do NOT answer without reading first. I have been attacked as a liar by Liberals, but the facts are right here in front of you. If you feel the need to dismiss these facts, then you only prove your ignorance. I simply need to know how a woman can gain so much popularity despite a horrendous record, and failing to live up to promises. It seems like all She has to do is attack Bush, fly around the country, and promise everything to everybody (again!).

Hey, Purplevanilla: ever been to Buffalo? The place is beautiful. Gorgeous old architecture, great location to the beach and skiing, and phenomenal character. Problem is it's in a Liberal state! Liberal politicians create poverty. They promise a free ride for votes, and all it does is destroy economies and allow decades of welfare to do it's toll.

of course she received 64%. The entire State is Democratic. Pataki was a Liberal Republican. Conservatives are rare in NY politics, so what's your point?

Credon: Why make those promises, then? Why does the liberal media ignore this? THAT is my question! Why can Liberals say whatever they please and have no consequences? Look at the liberals who responded. Point made.

One word - DEMOCRAT! If she was a GOP, she'd be dog meat.

There are not enough facts in the links you provide to give an informed opinion. You seem to be implying that Clinton has committed some sort of fraud but where is it? Neither link talks about a specific plan offered by Clinton. If there was a plan was it ever approved by congress? What were some of the details? New York had a republican governor for 12 years ending in 2007. What did he do for Buffalo?
BTW, In 2006 Clinton got 64% of the vote in Erie county, the county where Buffalo is located.

Strange as this may sound, the Senators from a state have very little to do with the economy of that state. Attracting jobs to an area is more a state government responsibility. All that Hillary could have done is, perhaps, use EARMARKS to try to divert some federal money to Buffalo.
Of course, with a GOP-controlled Congress, the Dem Senators didn't get the biggest share of the pie.

I completely agree with you.
But I also question why she is never asked about her involvement with the CFR. So is Michelle Obama and Fred Thompson.
It's an organization going for world government and the North American Union. Scary scary stuff.
I know how it is to love a candidate, but please, PLEASE consider watching this video.

We need a president that will restore constitutional principals in America. A president who will not take power that a president shouldn't have.
Google him when you are done with the video. You'll be amazed, I promise. Don't follow the party football game, it will be the worst mistake of our lives.

Bearing in mind that the Democrats have NOT had a majority in the senate since 2000 - how is she supposed to get her plan passed ?
How does anyone get anything passed, without a majority ? The Republicans have failed to get measures passed when they DID have a majority. The Democrats currently have 50 votes out of 100 in the Senate - how do they get anything passed ?

The same people back all the main candidates, they don't care who wins, because they control them all. They also own the media and so promote their own propaganda, and their agenda is not to help the Americans, its their own self interest and more money for the rich and less for the poor.

Upstate NY is a dump. Just let is rot away so we can get back to more important things in life...like healthcare.

Thumbs up to you! I agree that she has done nothing for New York, and should not be president as well. Hopefully in the next election for Senator for New York, it goes to anyone else but her. (as we all know she won't be elected president)
