Not just you at all. She is nothing but a smug bitch with no respect (as
telegraphed by her expression and lifeless clapping) for anybody with any
shred of moral fiber. I do hope she runs for president so she can be
further put in her place. She and Bill need to move back to Arkansas and
live in a trailer park where they belong.

hmmm interesting to see I'm not the only one who noticed that, but I'm
relatively sure that it was unintentional, but she certainly seemed to be
lacking in her applause enthusiasm compared to other Democratic leaders...

Also, knowing full well that our media misses very little, I would guess
that they kept returning to her - not because she represents NY - but
because she was making interesting "camera"

I don't know, Stan. I heard a lot of this on the radio today but I thought two
things last night:
first, she looked EXHAUSTED as, I suppose, one of two Senators from NY who had
been in NY attending memorials, meeting with the rescue workers and victims
families, and bringing other leaders to see the carnage, she might well be.

second, it seemed to me that the camera focused on her FAR MORE than on other
attendees.

In at least one interview that I saw this week, she was very gracious and
supportive of both Mr. and Mrs. Bush and the decisions they had made made and
the manner with which they were carrying themselves.

I tend to agree with what you say... and that's why I didn't really bash
her... (trust me... she's not my favorite)

She has said all the right things and considering all the trips back and
forth between Washington and NYC and all the interviews and the negotiations
for aid etc. I suspect you are right... she was just exhausted...

and I too thought that the cameras picked up on it and were on her way too
often...

heaven forbid... I just stuck up for Hillary... Hubble just turned over in
his grave

Say what you want about Mrs. Clintion, and I thank god she's not my senator
(even though Mr. Torricelli isn't much better), but if you noticed, Sen.
Robert Byrd of West Virginia had a nice seat behind the president, in the
camera view 95% of the time.

And there were a couple of Standing O's that he didn't get up off his 600
year old ass for. And he IS a democratic leader in the Senate.

At least Hillary looked like she was trying.

I assume you weren't listening to the unprecedented favorable response from

I happen to think That George W. is a pretty lousy public speaker, but he
and his speech writers rose to the occasion on this one... This may become
the classic case of the job making the President... It's happened before...

Independent,

Actually I used to be quite the Democrat, until the Clintons.

A lot of people were tired. A lot of people who put in a lot more than her.

The part that got me was here very slow clapping and turning her head away
as if bored. Besides, with what went on, she needs to look at America with
more insight open mindedness than ever before. Her personal goals for this
country should be on hold until the terror crisis in stabilized.

No, if Hillary doesn't get the spotlight, she has a temper tantrum.

Take care

And the one I saw today showed her real side.....jealous....i had to look up at
the tv to see just what self centered bitch was talking....telling the tv
people all the things "SHE" had done.

I cant blame her, what the hell she just saw any possibility of being

Clinton was by far one of the most powerful speakers ever to hold office. I

Yeah...I miss when he powerfully LIED TO THE NATION and wagged his finger at
us like we were misbehaving children and he was scolding us for having the
audacity of accusing him of anything. What was it that impressed you so
much? Was it the " I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss
Lewinsky" or was it his trying to weasel his way out of questioning and his
"well that depends on what your definition of "is" is." Yeah...Slick Willy

Ok. Read all this "shit" and can't say that most of you are right or wrong.
Those that hate her will always hate her. Those of you on the fence don't
know where to go. The real people would find out all the details before you
judge her.
Walk in her shoes first before you want to slander her with your insults.
I always thought that most drum corps people were more understanding.
I do also understand that there are some real a--holes out there.
At this time in our history if you have nothing better to do than judge how
one appears on a camera then we are really in trouble as a nation.
God bless those that paid their life so others can still misjudge other
people.
Get a real life and wake up to the facts if you really want to know them.

I'll combine a reply to the Dem/Rep looking at things differently stream with
this...

First, (and here's the revelation that makes all those poli sci classes in
college worth the tuition and interest I paid...) don't you think that it is
reasonable to posit that Dems and Reps see things differently?? Like they look
at the same issues and see them through a different prism??

How many Rs could NEVER give Clinton the tiniest bit of credit (even when he was
moving forward policies normally considered conservative domain)?? How many D's
can't give Bush the slightest benefit of the doubt?? Should it be surprizing
that some radicalized folks have trouble overcoming that??

Now, to the post at hand, if even you consider Bush as having grown by leaps and
bounds over the last 10 days, could you see why D's might have some trouble
ranking him up there with the Rushmore crowd?? I thought it was a GREAT speech,
far greater than anything that this Republican thought could come out of his
mouth. And "come out of his mouth" is about all we get from our presidents, now
isn't it? We know -- and have known for a long time -- that a gaggle of staff
are busy crafting the sound bites and honing the message. He has pulled
together a brilliant staff (Connie and Colin and Dick should be beaming) and he
delivered the speech with very little of the smirking, twitching facial tick
he's displayed along with his prior tendancy for malaprops. Kudos to the R
team!!

But why must you take that one step further and bash Gore? What makes you
believe that he would have been incapable of pulling together a great and
brilliant team and incapable of growing over the last 10 days? You don't get
bipartisanship, civil discourse, and mutual respect like this.

As to Bush-2's 15 minutes, we have a lot further to go...I hope he's got far
more up his sleeve than one great speech for we will need it. The results are
not obvious and my sleep was not significantly better last night than Wednesday.
Aside of rallying us, and telling us it'll take awhile, it is not at all clear
to me that we have been given a blueprint for what we will be called upon to do
over this next horizon. I need more than some world-class sound bites for that.

I think he has been brilliant and wonderful and he has looked on the edge a
number of times.

Because?? And she's announced that intention when? And what about all the
other people who have been rabid for the post over the last few years? McCain
didn't look all that thrilled last night either.

I hate to say this, because it is not my normal instinct, but this is becoming
so nasty that I just think that there is nothing this woman could do short of
walking into the Atlantic and never coming back that would satisfy some of her
critics and I think it is because she is a woman, and a smart one at that. The
fact that she breathes your air seems to offend. She obviously found a majority
of her constituents to vote for her for Senate, something neither George or Bill
could say the first time they won the Presidency.

Well, first of all, they weren't her constituents, they were New Yorkers.
New York is a heavily democratic City & State. Her constituents would have
been from Arkansas, or Illinois at a FAR stretch.

Second of all, they were voting for a senator, not a President. Let's just
wait and see what she is able to carry if/when she runs for President.

That is exactly what I base it on. She lived in Illinois longer that she
has lived in New York. All she did is look for the place where she had the
best chance of getting a seat and decided to run there. I have no doubts
that if the Senate race had stayed Hillary vs. Rudy, that she would have
lost.

Knock it off folks. Isn't this conversation just what the enemy wants?

We, as Americans, have the attention span of a gnat. United for a few days, now
we're wasting time on whether Hillary is a bitch or not.

I do not like her, at all. Didn't, wouldn't vote for her. I find her
duplicitous. She and husband could easily double date- they're so two-faced.

....there were millions of positive responses to last night's speech. Why would
anyone focus on the negative here? Isn't this like the winning Super Bowl team
focusing on their only fumble in the game? I am an avid fan of dissent, but
there is a time and a place for everything.

Those who see us as the enemy view us as fat, decadent, and spoiled.

Petty squabbles like this weaken us and only prove their point. Next we should
squawk about the fact that TV reception was disturbed because of the tragedy
and the fact that supemarket ran dangerously low on bottled water during all of
this. Sheesh!

Don't like Hillary? Fine. Move on. I don't like many people. I don't discuss it
here. Why? Well, who might I offend? And was it worth it?

None of us is in any of our representatives shoes. In the public, amidst a
tragedy of epic propoertion....... I don't know what I would do........

You see Hillary as a detractor? Combat it- through holding up the heroes of
these events- not by whining about one woman whose thoughts you can neither
read nor judge.

Go do something.

Answer to the obvious question here -Yes, I have.

Given blood, made a monetary contribution, hoisted the American flag higher and
prouder than I ever have, sung "God Bless America" until I'm horse, earmarked
a portion of my theater company's proceeds for the entire coming season to go
to the relief efforts.

Celebrate what is great about America.......

.......the words to "America the Beutiful" don't mention toxic waste dumps-
though you can find them somewhere in the United States. Weird issue to bring
up? Exactly my point. In the midst of an exalting song who needs to draw focus
to a negative. Hillary, as some see her, is a negative. Why focus on her when
she was so vastly outshadowed by a president who was thrust into greatness by
both the words he spoke and the spark it lit in us as Americans? And at a time
when need more single positive than ever......

Fight the good fight people. Hillary is not the terrorists...... ignore her.
Focus on them.

I don't sit on the fence. I weigh on facts, and don't follow a party
affiliation just because the Dems or Repubs said to go in a direction.
When one or the other is right, I praise and support. When either party is
wrong, I bitch. In both directions.

I was active in the AF during the Clintons tenure. Their disdain for the

She couldn't muster 35 minutes of enthusiasem?? She could have nodded in
agreement. I know the difference between a tired smile and a smirk.

AND she has the responibility to and elected duty to glean over the
current and upcoming legislation, making sure the US does whatever upcoming
tasks are done right. Her historical attutitude and actions of the past
years hopefully will be put aside. I pray she will vote, present, and
introduce postive legislation to prevent similiar events, and rebuild NYC.
And if she does, I will support and praise her. But she had better grow
up.

I'll address it...sure she established a residence there so she could run
for office there. I'm not claiming she did anything illegal in her bid for
senate (although..I wouldn't be surprised somewhere, somehow). I am simply
claiming that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I know that my
representatives and senators have been in South Carolina for a very, very
long time and they have a good grasp of what their constituents want and
why. Despite how many representatives act, their job IS to do the will of
their constituents.

I don't know what Al Gore's response would be. I don't think he would do
anything dishonorable or foolish, though. This is an incredibly difficult
situation for ANYONE to find themself in. I don't understand why people get
so caught up in party bashing and that if you are in party "a," then
everyone in party "b" is wrong and evil and stupid. I don't think it helps
anybody and it does very little to get real , good work accomplished.

Good point, Chip. Look at the subject - works both ways...

Hillary's getting ripped on because she looked tired and was speaking to
fellows during the speech. I was so happy to also see comments on some of
the OTHER people who looked tired and were speaking to fellows during the
speech, and how the cameras focused on her.

I worked with an attorney in Seattle who worked with and knew Hillary
closely at the Rose Law Firm. The attorney I knew is someone I remember
when I hear all of the other hideous things about the Clintons. It's
amazing how some people don't seem to recognize political behaviors that go
on amongst mature society all the time...

It's also good that people recognize when they're being manipulated...

Oops. My bad for confusing South and North Carolina. Chalk it up to
Saturday morning grogginess.

As for saying she's FROM North Carolina, I got the following from a CNN
story:

http://www.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/08/23/helms.dole/index.html

"Dole, who is considering a run for the Senate seat to be vacated by Sen.
Jesse Helms, R-North Carolina, is applying for North Carolina voter
registration Thursday in Salisbury, the home of her 100-year-old mother,
Mary Hanford...

"A former Republican Cabinet secretary, Dole was born and raised in North
Carolina, but has not lived in the state for decades."

So I suppose that's a little better than what Hillary did, but the principle
is still the same.

AT LAST! A commentary on this subject worth reading..

We could all learn a little something from this folks.. Lon is absolutely
right. Why focus on one perceived negative when we have so many positives
to congratulate and be proud of after this heroic and historic speech?

Whatever Hillary is or isn't, I guarantee you is on the back burner now.
Her focus now is most likely the safety and reassurance she can help provide
for her constituents and her country.

Chip, wake up and smell the coffee or cawfee for New Yawkers...

They ARE her constituents...she DID get elected...she DOES represent
them. They became her constituents when a majority of the voting
citizens of the state of New York voted for her. That is the compact.
She is as much a Senator from New York as Bobby Kennedy was.

MANY of our elected officials don't hail from the state or district
they represent. My own Senator Arlen Specter grew up in the SAME town
as Bob Dole. Hilary lived near Scranton for a while...I guess she has
more right to represent us than Arlen does??


>

I know what they were voting for...I stated it. We have only a
handful of election results for these three people. She has at least
carried a majority first time out of the box.

I don't like a lot of the people who show up for work at the Capitol.
I only have votes for three of them, same as everybody else. While I
can't imagine voting for some of those who become Congressmen or
Senators, I have to uphold the right of those voters to make the
decisions they make with their three votes.

On Presidential politics, I liked McCain the last go-round. Most
people didn't. He has flaws, as do they and we all, but he has
military experience, he is generally a straight talker, and he
supported campaign finance reform. I'd feel better if he were in the
post. I'm still not sure that Gore SHOULDN'T have been elected based
upon the popular vote and the debacle in Florida. But none of that
matters. George Bush will lead us in these trying times. We need to
get over the petty character assassinations.

Demonize the demons, not our citizens who are in leadership positions.

making an ass of himself are totally from left field. I like to think that
had Gore been pres. even a rabid GOPer that I am would have gotten behind
him in this time of National crisis. Even the guys I love to hate Gephardt
and Daschle have put aside partisan differences for the good of this
country. I get the impression from your comments that you would rather see
more death and destruction just so you could be right about Bush being
unfit.

A few questions if you don't mind.

I really didn't follow anything regarding New York politics in the past.

Who was her opposition in the election ?

Was he really THAT bad to get her elected, or was her support THAT strong ?
( in Louisiana we tend to elect the lesser of two evils )

What has she done for New York up till this time ( pre disaster ) ?

I feel qualified to answer that

she was running against Rudolf Guilliani and would have lost to him BIG
TIME.... in the middle of the campaign, he came down with cancer. He
dropped out of the campaign to immediately begin chemo and radiation ... he
felt that he couldn't run, remain as mayor and worry about his health... so
he quit the race...

yeah, there was a bit of a kick over his girl friend too, but I honestly
don't believe that had anything to do with it...

They selected an unknown senator from Long Island (I don't even remember his
name... oh yeah Lazio) to replace him which was the kiss of death... He
campaigned upstate very poorly and he needed to strongly carry upstate to
offset the "guaranteed" Democratic vote of NYC. He came off so poorly that
I almost didn't vote for him myself... I didn't vote for him, I voted
against Hillary.

Since taking office... she has tried to make her presence known in the
state, and I give her some credit for that... but the truth is... everything
I'm seeing has more to do with her possible presidential bid than with New
York's needs.

Actually, I'm pretty OK with that. If she
tries to run for president, she'll need a
resume, which means she'll have to do some
good things in her current position; not just
"not screw it up". Which should mean some
good things for NY.

The response by Gore or Bush would most likely be decided, or at least put
together by the cabinet and staff. What is important to remember, the
President acts on advice and plans of his advisors for the most part.

What you must watch for any govt figure is who they surround themselves
with. There is no requirement for the president to have military
experiance, and there is no need. What is important, is a President (or
Governor, Mayor etc) hires people with experiance and determination. This
also is important in other aspects, fianance, enviroment, law, etc, etc
etc.

Mr. Gore would most likely have done somthing similiar. The sad part is
how many cabinet and other posts are pushed on a President from the
political party they are members of. That is what gets us poor government.
If Mr. Gore was in, he would have had a tough internal fight purging the
dead wood of the Clinton era. Gore would have been a repeat of Carter.
Carter had a high personal integrity, and high intelligence. This does not
always mix well in politics.

It is a moot point.

Take care

I'll give him credit today though, at the service he seemed " humble". I

I think the point is that the world got to see real NYers (FDNY, NYPD, Rudy,
Pataki, etc.) during a time of crisis.

Then, when it came time to rally as a nation, we got (whether accidently or
not) to see one of our Senators rolling her eyes and doing the "golf clap"
thing during our President's speech.

Hey, the election is over, she's our senator and that's that, but when put side
by side with real NYers, she's out of her league.

In overnight polling after the speech, 95% of Americans had a favorable
response to the speech. Maybe you and your Liberal friends are part of the
other 5%.

Maybe my opinion is effected by the fact that my father is a WWII vet and I
heard the war stories growing up, but does everybody understand what happened
on 9-11-01? This wasn't just a little political spat. America was attacked on
OUR shores for the first time since what, 1812?

If Gore were president, I'm sure we'd support him as well.

Let me get this straight,

we're not supposed to comment on a person who was nationally prominent for 8
years, regarding her conduct in a nationally televised address regarding an
urgent national crisis....unless we're from New York? Can we at least talk
about the Yankees?

Free speech is a bitch, and come to think of it, so
is.....................umm, nevermind. That woman...Mrs. Clinton, is ALL
about national. There is nothing she does that is not set up against that
backdrop. She has actually slept in the actual state of NY very few times.
Had there been a different state that had the same non existent residency
requirement to hold public office, was overly democratic, and could provide
her with the national stage she was trying to maintain, then she would be
there. For her or anyone to feel she should only be criticized by New
Yorkers, well that's just silly.

Somebody please put an OT in front of this so Karen won't be so disturbed by
the subject.

to look at her face durung the speech and attribute emotions, etc...is not

seen the grave of over 6,000 people that used to be the WTC?...

perhaps the senator from NY had seen too much too, perhaps it is too much for

First of all Karen,be careful with your inference that because you live closer
to the scene, you have something on the rest of us. This isn't a tragedy
contest.

We all grieve - nationwide - and seeing the trauma created in what we all
consider to be the "toughest" town in the USA makes it hit home even more.

And second, accept that people will have opinions on how Hillary got elected:
The vast majority of Democratic NYC voters handed it to her. The sad thing is
that she probably would have beaten Rudy, too; and Rick Lazio didn't have a
chance.

Hillary is famous. She's a star. She was the female lead in the most watched
soap opera on TV from 1993-2000. She's Oprah Famous. She's Madonna Famous.
She's Rosie O'Donnell Famous. Hell, Nathan Lane probably would have beaten
Lazio, too.

I just say, she's no Rudy*

I am SHOCKED!! (Pleasantly, however.)

I wonder why a lot of good people aren't saying, "Well, gee, if you

But "hitting home" and being hit in your hometown might be a bit different,
don't you think?? And while even 100 miles away, 47 people with Philadelphia
roots died between the WTC, the Pentagon, and Pittsburgh (leaving at least
FORTY-ONE minor children, three of who are unborn), the odds of being very

Now THAT sounds like a damned good opinion, one ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BY FACTS!!
Having the vast majority of voters of one party or the other vote for you will
quite frequently result in your actual election!! Wow!! A civics lesson!!

Or is your implication that somehow Democrats who live in NYC are somehow less
than other people? Are they dumber, so they were duped? Are they easily
impressed by celebrity, so they voted for the only person whose name they
recognized? Are Democrats just a horde who are condemned to mindlessly vote for
a Democrat, unlike the egalitarian Republics who always vote for the best man?
One person, one vote. It doesn't always wind up with the one you voted for
taking office. For the most part, most of us seem to be able to GET OVER IT.
Hell, most of the country seems to have moved at least halfway past the damned
PRESIDENTIAL election, where there was really a question as to the outcome.

The sad thing is
>that she probably would have beaten Rudy, too; and Rick Lazio didn't have a

Well, I guess THAT is SAD! So sad that the Republicans couldn't find someone
who could beat the other party's candidate. It must really stun you when a
person (as she is!), who has been totally demonized, can't manage to beat the
apparent best that New York Republicans could muster. This was an election, the
preponderance of the people of New York ELECTED to have Hiliary Clinton
represent them. Hell, in Philadelphia, we've elected dead guys...of course,
since dead guys also vote here, I guess they knew their constituents.

Maybe more New Yorkers actually feel they agree with the civility and world view
of Nathan Lane and they like his voice. If so, I think they should seriously
consider him. Isn't that what makes America great???!!?? I remember Johnny
Carson making real fun of the idea of Ronald Reagan running for GOVERNOR, let
alone President. It seemed LUDICROUS at the time! But, I guess he kind of grew
on people...

>
>I just say, she's no Rudy*

Yeah, I guess she never had a public affair with a subordinate, never had to
subject the city to court hearings over ejecting the cheated-upon wife out of
the public residence, never involved the world in the details of her present
state of lovemaking ability...you are right! She is no Rudy. (Before you lump
me up on that, Rudy is, by the way, one of my favorite politicians. I have
agreed with his stated philosophy on how to clean up the city since before he
took office the first time and have been pleased to see it bear fruit. His
fortitude and bearing under the most trying of circumstances for an American
mayor since the Great San Francisco earthquake have been remarkable. I'd write
him in if I lived in NY and I believe in term limits. But, fortunately for me,
I can apparently separate his kind-of-private life from the impact he has on the
city. And what was up with Mrs. G. having all those city-paid staffers?? And a
press spokeswoman? What was up with THAT, anyway??)

Go find a great Republican candidate to beat her next time!! You have about
four years to get it together. But as you search, try to remember that
intolerance, demonization, and rabid hatred often do not win vast numbers of new
supporters, especially among a populace that is generally moderate. There are
seriously practical and pragmatic reasons for toning down extremism. Look to
the Republican national leadership and the de-ascendency of people like Newt.
Sore losers don't generally find it easy to rally the troops.

lies about selling arms for hostages, one who has astrologers in the White

selling arms for hostages, and one who gets cute and says read my lips: no more
taxes, and need I mention WATERGATE? Give Hillary a rest, folks, and move on.
So what if she looked a little lackluster. Walk a mile in her shoes. At least

Big difference. Liddy is from South Carolina. Her mom still lives there. She

You don't really want someone to enumerate the abuses of power Hillary had
direct involvement in during the Clinton administration do you?

Here's a clue for both sides.
Politicians lie. Always have, always will.
Why? 'cause most people don't want to hear the truth, if they did they
might have to do something about it. Like VOTE. Or protest. Blind
faith in any political party is foolish. It's the reason why it takes
so long for the Government to do anything at all, about almost
everthing.
It is refreshing however to see people paying attention to what these
finacial puppets are doing these days. Remember in November. VOTE.
Also voice your concern for reform. As long as Big money controls the
process the the average American will never get the Government we
need. You know, By the people, for the people.....

ABSOLUTELY!!! A brilliant post.

Pay keen attention to the leming-like vote for supporting airlines: greedy,
mismanaged, obscenely-high executive paying, lying, manipulating,
safety-ignoring airlines just got BILLIONS of our dollars to make up for their
losses...losses which may or may not (read, largely didn't) happen because of
September 11. Airlines are not only big business but are BIG CONTRIBUTORS.

At a time when there are lots of decisions to be made, the airlines are the ones
getting a lion's share of the thought process and action. Did you wonder why??

The airlines have engaged in what for all the world appears to be a years-long
conspiracy to manipulate public opinion to force the construction -- preferably
with little scrutiny as to enviromental laws -- of additional runways and
terminals at virtually every airport. This was costing all of us big
bucks...and our clean air and water as well as sometimes horrific noise for
those who live near airports, as a tremendous percentage of Americans do.

There are laws in this land that no Congress ever passed: they are the laws of
supply and demand. They are supposed to work by raising prices when demand
exceeds supply (as the airlines claimed it did, hence the need for more landing
facilities). But what had we seen, instead?? Artificially LOW airfares.
Airfares designed to keep tons of us in the airports, delayed and mad, much
better to participate in polls, be seen on the news, and write to congress to
complain about the need for more facilities.

All of this played out while news report after news report dealt with the lack
of passenger screening accuracy which at Logan found only 1 in 10 of the planted
weapons, The FAA meted out MINIMAL fines for this obvious disregard for the
lives of those flying as well as those who went about their business below their
flights.

Interestingly, we are NOW finding that there are WAY more efficient ways to do
our business. We would have found that out without 9/11 had the economic
signals been allowed to play out. It would have been better for
everyone...especially if the FAA and the airport authorities and the airlines
had been spending that much attention on issues like SAFETY instead of trying to
ram runways down communities' throats from sea to shining sea.

Remember this ONE case study when you see who gets money and laws out of
Congress, your state government, your city council.

Campaign finance abuse is not a victimless crime. We all pay for it, many times
over, and we can all be killed by it.

Getting back to the Hilliary-bashing...this is WHY (in part) it is such an evil,
ugly idea to demonize individual others and to divide the issues into black and
white, Dems and Reps, etc, etc. Doing so obviously makes you feel very superior
to the supporters of the other and eliminates your ability to critically examine
the clues all around you. In the end, all comes down to green.

I don't waste my time on responding to long, rambling, and unsupported
conspiracy theories full of jingoism and outrageous claims like

"Campaign finance abuse is not a victimless crime.
We all pay for it, many times over, and we can all be killed by it"

What logic is there in this to rebuke or counter? None.

But if cheap shots are all you think I am capable of, I won't disappoint
you. Bite me.

There.

Satisfied?

perusing the past, she did indeed garner the majority of the vote in 2016. And, by the way, you had a bad definition of constituents.
