I know what politicians are. If you think hillary is typical, you are dillusional. I've not seen a combination of pandering to polls, no real clue as to how anything works and no real guidance other than responding to other candidates stances and statements. She has not had a single original idea. These are not quotes that are being taken out of context. These are quotes that she walked right up to a camera to say.
I have a bit more respect anyone that has a certain level of distaste for the media. The Clintons did not. They used them like they were part of their campaign team. Eventually, the media felt right at home there. They were just a little put off when Bill wasn't running again and managed to show just how lost they were for the next 5 years. Dan Rather's little blunder was the culmination of that and a major wake up call for most of America.
Talk about pandering to the press and out right lieing:
1."Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.”
State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003
ZERO Chemical Weapons Found
Not a drop of any chemical weapons has been found anywhere in Iraq
2.“U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein
had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable
of delivering chemical agents.”
State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003

"Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications and statements by people now in custody reveal that
Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaida."
State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003
ZERO Al Qaeda Connection
To date, not a shred of evidence connecting Hussein with Al Qaida or any other known terrorist organizations have been revealed.

4.
"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
State of the Union Address – 1/28/2003
NOT TRUE
The documents implied were known at the time by Bush to be forged and not credible.
5.
"We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
VP Dick Cheney – “Meet the Press” 3/16/2003
NOT TRUE
“The IAEA had found no evidence or plausible indication of the revival of a nuclear weapons program in Iraq."
IAEA report to UN Security Council – 3/7/2003
We can go back and forth forever. I dont find Hillary to be any different than the rest of them.
