Hillary: "Don't vote on what someone says, vote on what they've done."
She said this in a speech today and it occurred to me that, should we take her at her word, that nullifies her Health Care argument.

And just about any other argument on her experience: hmmmm, let's see, she "talked" about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, but what she did was smile and wave to the people. She talked about being against the war in Iraq, but what she did was vote for it. She talked about using diplomacy but voted for naming Iran a terrorist state. She talked about working hard and playing by the rules, but rules go out the window when Hillary is around.

Agreed, considering that she has never actually done anything during her so-called 35 years of experience except talk and stand in the background behind Bill.

More recently she authorized the Iraq war.

Senator Clinton has a long history of accomplishments. She is planning a last minute surprise, where she reveals that long list. Meanwhile, she talks, and when she talks, it is increasingly obvious that she lies.

That's how I decided to choose Obama after Dodd dropped out of the race. It wasn't that hard to figure out who's background impressed me more, but most importantly, who had the background of actually effective results. Clinton couldn't touch Obama on that one. Of course there was the bigotted stuff coming from her camp all Dec. that left a nasty taste in my mouth.
Of course, since I'm black, her supporters don't think that I actually looked into anything about Obama. They feel I just looked at his skin color and blindly followed, kinda like those people voting for Clinton because she's a woman or (kill me now) because they like Bill.

Hillary can hallucinate about Bosnian sniper fire because she's tired according to Bill, lie about speaking in support of outsourcing, vote for the Iraq War, threaten to irradiate the Middle East, and still maintain support among White women.
....Yet it is African-American voters who overlook a candidates faults.
I used to be a Hillary Clinton supporter, but have seen the light. Hillary will throw her feminist supporters overboard if she deems it necessary. From a political standpoint, African-Americans are the canaries in Hillary Clinton's coal mine. Other groups will get similar treatment.
A Hispanic megabucks fund raiser (Hillraiser) bailed from Clinton because of the tone of her campaign. The Clinton coal mine's toxic fumes are spreading.

What a person has done is also a very good reason for not voting for that person.

Sen. Clinton's and President Clinton's behavior parallels that of a gambling addict with a large gambling debt; they continue to dig themselves deeper into debt, desperate for a win fall that is against all odds. Why else would a candidate go 15 Million Dollars in debt to continue a campaign that has already been lost to the opposition. What is the reason for their desperation. Would the Clinton Library be 500 Million Dollars in debt if Sen. Clinton is not elected?

The more I've thought about this quote, the more it seems like a really big flub.
I'm not sure I had heard her say this before. She usually talks about "experience" but leaves that to imply she would have better judgment. This seems like a new and perilous argument, maybe even a slip by her, conflating her dubious experience now with her even more dubious list of accomplishments.

Does anyone know what major piece of legislation she's had passed?
