Why Hillary Clinton Should Not Be The Democratic Presidential Nominee

snip

......On 28 August 2006, the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition headlined “Senator Hillary Clinton: All Show and no Substance,” and the well known government whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, along with the organization’s board member William Weaver, condemned her as: “an elected senator who has served six years in her seat, never taking a strong stand in support of her constituents on any serious or controversial issue; a senator who has used her record-breaking TV public appearances to say ‘nothing’ ... an elected official who has no record of conducting investigations into cases that are matters of great concern to her constituents and to our country ... a politician who has spent all her focus and energy on a campaign of shallow publicity glitz.”

Examples cited included James J. DiGeorgio and Carl Steubing, who “were subjected to illegal drug experimentation by employees of the Stratton Veterans Affairs Center in Albany, New York; killed by servants of the very government they fought to protect. Scores of other veterans were injured in these experiments. ... Between 2000 and June 2006, numerous contacts with Senator Hillary Clinton over the Stratton tragedy went unacknowledged, or glossed over. ... No less than five Clinton staff members heard presentations and received documentation about the experiments, and Senator Clinton is personally aware of the detailed facts of the case.

This personal knowledge did not translate into action. ... Senator Clinton’s failure concerning Stratton is not an isolated event; it is part of a pattern of studious avoidance of principled action in the face of serious government misconduct, and the refusal to come to the aid of those people who expose the misconduct.” Among the cases also discussed were: Bunnatine Greenhouse, Sergeant Samuel Provance, and Russ Tice - some of the most egregious examples of whistleblowers whom the Bush Administration wronged.

Hillary Clinton bent so far backward to win the support of Republicans, that she should have made a Yoga video, but all that she thereby gained (besides support from a large number of Democratic fools who believed - if they believed in anything - that win-at-all-costs was what politics was all about, and that democratic principles don’t really exist) was increased contempt from Republicans.

3. AFAIK, NONE, not ONE single victim of Stratton offered Sec. Clinton $250,000

to come to them and give a speech. How could they honestly expect any kind of intervention? They just want “free stuff.”

Hillary Clinton criticized Sanders’ proposals for “free stuff” such as government-paid public college tuition for all, and on Friday night told Nevada voters she won’t “overpromise.”
