Hillary Clinton: 25 Things You Don't Know About Me

Hillary Clinton: 25 Things You Don't Know About Me

"SNIP............



3. I met Martin Luther King Jr. when I was 14. The youth minister at our church took us to see him speak and I got to shake his hand.

4. I can’t carry a tune for the life of me. My choir teacher used to ask me to mouth the words. I used to sing to my daughter, Chelsea, when she was a baby, until she said, "No sing, Mommy, no sing." My friends can’t believe I sang on Saturday Night Live.

5. Bill Clinton proposed to me twice before I said yes.

6. I was a United States senator from New York when 9/11 happened, and I still feel a real commitment to making sure that the first responders who ran toward danger are getting the health treatment they deserve.

7. As secretary of state, I went to 112 countries and flew 956,733 miles. (Yes, somebody counted!)

in my first election. After being a Pierre Trudeau fan my whole childhood. Sometimes you don't see hypocrisy when you are young. The discovery of it leads to a meltdown and new connection to the world for young adults. There is a cognitive opening when young adults have to adapt to there being good and bad in all. Psychopaths will take the naive and put them through this to take advantage of the cognitive opening and instill their ****ed up narrative into the naive's brain. The right wing likes this creative destruction too. I never voted conservative again. I saw the pm for the Ronnie Reagan lapdog he was.

6. Hello, you consider that fact to be anger? No, it's a fact.

Deal with it.

I guess I'm not amused by ex-Goldwater girls who go on to mimic Kissinger in their foreign policy.

How you could be while calling yourself a democrat is your issue.

I'm not over all the blood on her hands let alone the lack of concern about the blood on her hands by people like you acting like shes so sweet and fluffy. Tell that to all the drowned kids trying to get to Europe from Syria after Hillary made it a point to prevent the first peace treaty - while the head of the UN kept telling her it would cause mass chaos and death if she stopped it. She stopped it anyway - the sole person who threw their body in front of it, and it caused the death of many many children. But don't worry, Hillary got money from an arms deal out of it.

To sink to that. Wow. The difference between me and you is I'm a progressive democrat and you're supporting everything the progressive democrats are against - while dishonestly calling it RW talking point if you don't like what is being said.

Despicable. You go on ignore for being flat out dishonest.

She helped destabilize many countries that were no threat to us and who remain in chaos today.

Honduras is now one of the most dangerous places in the world and the crime from there is currently hurting all of south America.
