Can someone give me a list of Hillary's Senate accomplishments for NY? |
|
I know she has done a lot in the way of legislating in her term, but I can't remember many specific actions she has taken after reading about them in the paper or blogs. I'm trying to come up with the list because I'm having trouble debating with Freepers on legislation she has gotten for NY, other than helping to secure post-9/11 funds and lruing a company to Buffalo and support rural broadband access.

1. Hillary? What Senate accomplishments for NY? |
|
A Google of the web indicates she hasn't any. Mrs Clinton has deprived New York State of 50% of its representation in the US Senate as she positions and re-images herself as a moderate for her run for the Presidency in 2008. There were several very capable NY Democrats willing to represent their state, but the machine decided to go with star power instead. Hillary got their blessing and never looked back and has been using the voters and our party as her toilet paper ever since. I'm waiting for her promise to serve out her whole term if reelected in 2006.:puke:

2. Aww... pshaw. She's done plenty. For instance... |
|
..headed-up the cheerleading committee for the Iraq quagmire, thus contributing mightily to the deaths of a couple hundred thou ME Arabs.( Now doesn't that just warm your heart?) And killed off a few thousand Americans and a couple dozen NYers in the process.
No; this girl doesn't rest. I understand today she's marching in the hetero-only St Patrick's Day parade in NYC... in the face of a long standing boycott by DEM officials of this annual obscenity. (New wrinkle this year: parade chairman compared including gays in parade to Nazis being included in Israeli Independence parade. No comment so far from Hillary; don't expect one).
Such vision she's got.
Well, anyway this much is clear: she's got plenty of physical , if not *mental*, energy. And tons of ambition; or so it would seem. Probably enough to carry her to reelection to the senate... which is not entirely bad news as it might portend a DEM majority and thus the accession of folks less backward than she to committee chairmanships and such.

3. Can't answer your question,,, |
|
...but...I have homes both in NJ and NY. I've always voted in NJ (first time for JFK!) but recently switched my registration to NY, primarily so that I can support someone just a tad more progressive than Hillary.
