It died because it sucked.



Her plan was so unfeasible her own party killed it in committee......



Which, in the end, is precisely what Hillary has done for them.

Bush's talk didn't cost millions.



Because she did. You don't think those "blue-ribbon" committees in DC come for free, do you?



I want competent leaders, with actual experience, to try.

Hillary was given that project for no apparent reason (unless Bill just wanted her busy and out of the way of his extra-curricular activities). She's never lead even a city government. She's never been involved in a significant public policy initiative that wasn't a miserable failure.



Clinton was better that Bush Sr. on that front, but pretending he didn't get involved in military entanglements is both inaccurate and naive.

Matt I worked in the area of Healthcare IT.. The US system is not only grossly unfair and thus shortens peoples lives, even ones with insurance but is also hugely expensive... Hillary wanted to change that but there was too many vested interests in Healthcare to let that happen. We are trying to do the same thing in Ireland at the moment and the vested interests are unbelievable. The most unrepresented are the patients.. That is not to say all medical staff and corps are bad but there is a culture among them.

As far as deviant sexual practices go, I am very confident HRC has partaken in more than her fair share of 'em... Given her probable "activities", I doubt she'd be un-savvy enough to tell an elementary school art class on the campaign trail that she is an "expert at fingerpainting and scissoring".

I never see something like that in Dutch politics. Perhaps its because of the small scale of the primaries, and the polls in larger states will be more accurate?
