What is wrong with you? Don't you know how to conduct a real political discussion or do you simply not care?
By 1968 Hillary Clinton in the words of Wikipedia "left the Republican Party for good". But even before that you chose to skip some interesting developments such as these:
"In 1965, Rodham enrolled in Wellesley College, where she majored in political science.<15> She served as president of the Wellesley Young Republicans organization during her freshman year.<16><17> However, due to her evolving views regarding the American Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, she stepped down from that position;<16> she characterized her own nature as that of "a mind conservative and a heart liberal."<18> In her junior year, Rodham was affected by the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.,<8> and became a supporter of the anti-war presidential nomination campaign of Democrat Eugene McCarthy.<19> Rodham organized a two-day student strike and worked with Wellesley's black students for moderate changes, such as recruiting more black students and faculty.<20>"
Experience? Don't these count?:
"She also took on cases of child abuse at Yale-New Haven Hospital,<32> and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free advice for the poor.<31> In the summer of 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at Marian Wright Edelman's Washington Research Project, where she was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale's Subcommittee on Migratory Labor, researching migrant workers' problems in housing, sanitation, health and education;<34><35> Edelman would become a significant mentor to her.<35>"
Funny how you left out that Walter Mondale internship.If you are so interested in Hillary's Congressional experience, why did you leave this part out?:
"During 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal.<49><50> Under the guidance of Chief Counsel John Doar and senior member Bernard Nussbaum,<32> Rodham helped research procedures of impeachment and the historical grounds and standards for impeachment.<50> The committee's work culminated in the resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974.<50>"
If you are so interested in discussing exectutive positions Hillary held, what about Hillary being appointed by President Carter to be the first woman to serve on the National Board of the Legal Services Corporation (going on to become the Chair)?:
"In late 1977, President Jimmy Carter (for whom Rodham had done 1976 campaign coordination work in Indiana)<67> appointed her to the board of directors of the Legal Services Corporation,<68> and she served in that capacity from 1978 through the end of 1981.<69> For much of that time<70> she served as the chair of that board, the first woman to do so.<71> During her time as chair, funding for the Corporation was expanded from $90 million to $300 million,<64> and she successfully battled against President Ronald Reagan's initial attempts to reduce the funding and change the nature of the organization.<64>"
I think being Chair of the Board of the National Legal Services Corporation is a little bit more significant than a partial stint as President of the Wesley College Young Republicans which she left in protest.
And if you are so interested in Hillary's student days, why did you ignore this?:
"Stemming from the demands of some students,<24> she became the first student in Wellesley College history to deliver their commencement address.<22> According to reports by the Associated Press, her speech received a standing ovation lasting seven minutes.<25><26> She was featured in an article published in Life magazine, due to the response to a part of her speech that criticized Senator Edward Brooke, who had spoken before her at the commencement;<8> she also appeared on Irv Kupcinet's nationally-syndicated television talk show as well as in Illinois and New England newspapers.<27> That summer, she worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions).<28><29>".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_ClintonPlease keep calling attention to the issue of Hillary's prior experience. It was posts like yours that initially got me curious enough to dig around for some facts myself about Hilary's life and accomplishments, which really helped me solidify my support for her for President.
