[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. She's also been in the Senate longer.

[my3boyz]

3. Oh don't point out a pesky little fact like that!

It makes too much sense!

[democracy1st]

8. LOL

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Facts make Hillary drink.

[Hepburn]

26. OMG....

...the crossed-eyes are just too much in that pic! :rofl:

[my3boyz]

34. HAHAHAHA nt

[L0oniX]

46. Just another thing she has in common with Bush........

[JoFerret]

24. So math whiz-

work out the proportions

[NightWatcher]

7. please stop pointing out the facts, this is GDP we dont like facts here

[pathansen]

10. Yes, more experience

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Actually, Obama's been in legislative office longer.

[ampad]

19. WoW

Where the hell was that experience (and might I add judgement) when it came time to vote for the IWR, over 4000 families have the right to know. You know considering the war is a big deal and she wants to be queen of America some day.

[AJH032]

47. not 5 times longer though

just sayin

[DemVet]

57. Exactly, which equates with more experience. Glad you agreed.

[datopbanana]

2. Sounds like she's 5 times more neo-con

[FrenchieCat]

4. Could we get a listing of those bills? Thanks.

[John Q. Citizen]

15. She has been very successful at naming Post Offices, I believe.

[pathansen]

27. I don't have those yet but here is list of recent sponsored bills

Found here:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?tab=bills&id=300022

[DJ13]

5. She represents more corporations than Obama too

Is that a sign of success, or failure?

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

6. Easily explained.

She has been in the Senate longer.
He has been running for President the last year.

Compare her passed bills to the number he passed in Illinois.

See we can make numbers say anything.
Some numbers we can't and won't change is he is winning, he will win, and he will be our next president.

[pathansen]

50. What bills did he sponsor in Illinois? I haven't been able to find any of his state senate records.

How many of his sponsored bills were passed in Illinois?
And can you support it with a link, like I did, instead of just making claims?

[Cheap_Trick]

9. Iraq War Resolution

Clinton: YES
Obama: NO

pwned.

[cali]

14. Look, I'm an Obama supporter but that's just factually incorrect

he didn't vote on the IWR as he wasn't in the Senate.

[Cheap_Trick]

35. okay, let's phrase it this way

She supported the war from the start and he opposed it.

[pathansen]

30. Clinton never sponsored such a bill

And she never voted to go to war in Iraq only to use force and more inspections to stop Hussien

[mckeown1128]

32. War = Force genius. nt

[Hepburn]

36. To put it bluntly....

...you are full of shit.

Here is the title of that bill:

Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq

Where the fuck do you see "inspections by force?"

:eyes:

[11 Bravo]

38. The only word that comes to mind is "horseshit".

It just didn't happen. If you were Hillary Clinton, someone might call you a liar. If they don't, I will.

[nichomachus]

11. If that were the criteria, we should all vote for Robert Byrd -- he has more experience too

[democracy1st]

16. Right, Dennis Kucinich

would have been the man :kick:

[nichomachus]

25. You can say that again!!!

[PseudoIntellect]

13. Strangely, this site has different missed vote statistics.

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/vote-missers/

This says it's actually 39% Obama and 29% Clinton. And McCain has over 50%. Most of the top members were running for POTUS.

Looks like it only includes votes for the 110th Congress.

[cliffordu]

18. She has also been selling our asses out to foreign governments

through her hubbies speaking fees longer, too.


109 million minus $30,000 for book sales

Don't compare and contrast unless you really want to talk about their finances, too.....


Cheers!!

[Bonobo]

31. THANK YOU! What is a more important issue?

[catcher]

20. lets not play these gotcha moments

If you check the dates of the votes he missed 99.5% are from the beginning of January to now, you know, the timeline of of our current primary contests.

[bowens43]

21. This relevent because?

[pathansen]

53. Arn't one's accomplishments relevant?

[crankychatter]

22. Actual Work in the Senate

Barack Obama, who has been in the Senate only four years, has authored or co-authored 1,986 bills. on every conceivable subject (and has sponsored over 800 bills).

Hillary Clinton, who has been in the Senate for eight years, has authored or co-authored only 20 bills, 15 of which were concerned with honoring this-or-that person, naming roads, bridges, and post offices after them, or designating holidays.

WHICH OF THESE WERE THE ONES THAT PASSED?

While Obama has been working like a house of fire, she’s been a passive space-filler, showing no initiative, and content to sit back, collect a paycheck, and vote on other people’s work. A “major difference,” indeed.

Your post is misleading to the point of fraud.

Clinton is a DC insider and fat cat, collecting the BIG LOOT and doing NOTHING of importance.

Obama may not have gotten a lot of bills passed but he does more before noon than she does all year.

[pathansen]

44. Clinton has sponsored 359 bills while Obama has sponsored 129

Here is my link:
http://www.govtrack.us/data/us/110/repstats/enacted.xml
which is an independent, neutral website.

Where is your link?

[crankychatter]

23. Now back to the nether realm with YOU

*poof*

[gateley]

28. Is this supposed to make me switch my support?

Because I'd rather have a person who I believe has integrity and fewer sponsored bills any day.

So if that was your intent, I'm sorry but it didn't work.

[Bonobo]

29. Good. She should stay in the Senate then.

[anonymous171]

33. Well, she served in the senate longer...

[jody]

37. That has to be wrong because BO supporters have touted how much he has helped we disabled veterans

by being a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

BO was the sponsor of three bills passed by the Senate, see Barack Obama, U.S. Senator

S.Con.Res. 25: A concurrent resolution condemning the recent violent actions of the Government of Zimbabwe against peaceful opposition party activists and members of civil society.

S.Res. 268: A resolution designating July 12, 2007, as "National Summer Learning Day".

S.Res. 133: A resolution celebrating the life of Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson.

BO is #1 on one measure, he missed a larger percentage of votes than any other senator.

[unblock]

39. proving, if anything, that we'd all rather keep her in the senate.

[stray cat]

40. GIven her entire lifetime of experience 60 years

A side by side comparison per year would be alot more meaningful

[pathansen]

55. She's done much more than just that

See her resume.

[jackson_dem]

41. And Obama's Illinois record is a fraud. Emil Jones handed him bills others fought for for years...

[pathansen]

45. Is this actually true? Link please.

[jackson_dem]

51. Yup. Don't you think it is odd all his "achievements" came in one year?

Essentially one party boss took a liking to Obama and decided to play kingmaker.

-
snip-

It's a lengthy record filled with core liberal issues. But what's interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year.

Republicans controlled the Illinois General Assembly for six years of Obama's seven-year tenure. Each session, Obama backed legislation that went nowhere; bill after bill died in committee. During those six years, Obama, too, would have had difficulty naming any legislative ­achievements.

-snip-

Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.

"I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen," State Senator Rickey Hendon, the original sponsor of landmark racial profiling and videotaped confession legislation yanked away by Jones and given to Obama, complained to me at the time. "Barack didn't have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit.

[jody]

54. Makes sense, create a record by taking credit for the work of others while blaming others for your

failures.

Have I seen that political strategy used by another political adviser?

[pathansen]

48. Is that actually true? Do you have a link?

[BlueIdaho]

42. Reason # 47 she should stay in the senate. nt.

[smiley_glad_hands]

43. I guess she's been five times more successfull at screwing the country too. eom

[democrattotheend]

49. What are the successful bills she has had passed and signed into law?

And were they bills or resolutions? I have been trying to get this info for a while. I did a search once and found that she had sponsored some resolutions that passed, but could not find any substantive legislation. I am sure she has some legislative accomplishments, but have yet to find out what they are.

[pathansen]

52. I will post this information when I get it.

These were 10 bills that Hillary sponsored that were passed.
I haven't been able to find out which bills yet.
I finally contacted Hillary's website and asked for the information.
Strangely the media doesn't seem to report such things as actual legislation that the candidates have accomplished. Also I cannot find a resume on either candidate.

You would think that for the most important job on the planet, the candidates would have a resume.

[Perry Logan]

56. You'll notice that the people who most criticize Hillary know jackshit about her record.
