too funny! here's another one just don't get it who cares how many smillies anyone usesI'm independent, fisher. I never claimed to know everything. I didn't watch the convention. Here jdarg,Help yourself! Like Miss Kitty said, I am not running for President!
Read this fisher if you want accomplishments. Then answer back!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Rodham_Clinton
We are talking about electing the next President of the US of A. The biggest, most complex organization in the history of the world. In addition, he/she will be the commander in chief of the most powerful military in the history of the world. So, let's see how qualified ole HC is for this big job.
She has never run a state government.
She has never run a city government.
She has never run a large corporation.
She has run a family of three.
She has one full term as senator under her belt.
She has never sponsored and gotten through the Congress even one piece of significant legislation.
She failed miserably at the one major initiative she has undertaken in her time in Washington--Hillary Care.
Not too qualified in my opinion.
Obama has even less going for him in terms of qualifications to be President. At least Hillary slept in the White House.
Lost the dare fo sho.....
Just playing with sck...she loves her smilies and her Hillary!
I took the smiley dare for a second or two but it just didn't feel right so I edited immediately. One day maybe I'll try again. Maybe... Only when I'm ready though. I've got to keep in touch with my emoticons, gulls. ;-)

Hey there Fisher, to address the few accomplishments she does have.
Hillary went to Wellesley College, where she was chosen by her classmates to be the first-ever student commencement speaker.
Next came Yale Law School, where Hillary focused on questions about how the law affected children and began her decades of work as an advocate for children and families.
After serving as only one of two women lawyers on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee considering the impeachment of Richard Nixon, Hillary chose not to pursue offers from major law firms.
Hillary ran a legal aid clinic for the poor when she first got to Arkansas and handled cases of foster care and child abuse. Years later, she organized a group called Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm.
When she was just 30, President Carter appointed her to the board of the United States Legal Services Corporation, a federal nonprofit program that funds legal assistance for the poor.
When Bill was elected Governor of Arkansas, Hillary continued to advocate for children, leading a task force to improve education in Arkansas through higher standards for schools and serving on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital, helping them expand and improve their services.
She also served on national boards for the Children's Defense Fund, the Child Care Action Campaign, and the Children's Television Workshop.
She led the American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession, which played a pioneering role in raising awareness of issues like sexual harassment and equal pay.
Hillary was twice named one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America.
She traveled the globe speaking out against the degradation and abuse of women and standing up for the powerful idea that women's rights are human rights.
In the White House, Hillary led efforts to make adoption easier, to expand early learning and child care, to increase funding for breast cancer research, and to help veterans suffering from Gulf War syndrome
She helped launch a national campaign to prevent teen pregnancy and helped create the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, which moved children from foster care to adoption more quickly.
She was instrumental in designing and championing the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which has provided millions of children with health insurance. She battled the big drug companies to force them to test their drugs for children and to make sure all kids get the immunizations they need through the Vaccines for Children Program. Immunization rates dramatically improved after the program launched.
Hillary's 1995 book It Takes A Village, about the responsibility we all have to help children succeed, became an international best seller. Hillary has donated the proceeds -- more than a million dollars -- to children's causes across the country
In 2000, Hillary was elected to the United States Senate from New York. As Senator, Hillary has continued her advocacy for children and families and has been a national leader on homeland security and national security issues.
She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, working to see that America's military has the necessary resources to protect our national security.
She has introduced legislation to tie Congressional salary increases to an increase in the minimum wage, because she believes if America's working people don't deserve a raise, neither does Congress.
In the Senate, Hillary has not wavered in her work to expand quality affordable health care to more Americans. She worked to strengthen the Children's Health Insurance Program, which increased coverage for children in low income and working families
Her strong advocacy for children continues in the Senate. Some of Hillary's proudest achievements have been her work to ensure the safety of prescription drugs for children, with legislation now included in the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, and her legislation to help schools address environmental hazards. She has also proposed expanding access to child care. She has passed legislation that will bring more qualified teachers into classrooms and more outstanding principals to lead our schools.
Hillary is strongly committed to making sure that every American has the right to vote in fair, accessible, and credible elections. She introduced the Count Every Vote Act of 2005 to ensure better protection of votes and to ensure that every vote is counted.
In 2006, New Yorkers reelected Hillary to the Senate with 67 percent of the vote
WOW, looks like a fairly educated, committed and strong individual to me, regardless of gender. Worthy of at least looking at who she is and not what her husband is known for.
Thank you for your time.

You forgot this cracker jack of an accomplishment:
On October 11, 1978, the future First Lady, a neophyte investor with an annual income of $25,000, opened a commodity-futures account with a deposit of $1,000. Her first trade was the short sale of ten live-cattle contracts at a price of 57.55 cents a pound: a commitment to deliver in December of that year 400,000 pounds of cattle with a market value of $230,200. One day later, she bought the contracts back at a price of 56.10 cents, just 0.15 cent above the low of the day, pocketing $5,300 for a return of 530 per cent.
Mrs. Clinton continued to be a net winner at the game. By the time she closed her trading account ten months later, she had racked up $99,541 in profits, a spectacular 10,000 per cent return on her initial investment of $1,000. Either Mrs. Clinton was a better trader than the legendary George Soros, whose best-ever annual return in thirty years of trading was 122 per cent, or she was led by an invisible hand.

Thank you for your time.
I didn't mention the word accomplishments once in my post. Instead I mentioned the words "qualified" and "qualifications". Nowhere in your list of accomplishments did you mention anything that would qualify her to run the most complex organization in the world. In fact, they wouldn't qualify her to run most companies. Come on--serving on the board of some non profit organizations, the count every vote act, writing a book, etc. Hardly the stuff legends are made of.
Not that I am a Rudi fan (he ran one of the largest cities in the world) or a Romney fan (he ran a corporation and a state government) or a McCain fan (he served in the armed forces and our troops would look up to him), but they are far more QUALIFIED for the job than Hillary (and I bet they have a better looking list of accomplishments too
).If the election were held today, not sure who I would vote for, but I can tell you it wouldn't be the Senator from Arkansas (I mean New York--sometimes that fake accent she uses makes me forget where she really comes from).
Enough said about Hillary for me. Good luck with your candidate SCK. She just might win given the lack of voter awareness in this country. Lots of young, liberal women may sweep her into office simply by voting for her because she is a woman rather voting based on the substance of the candidate.
