Don't tell the Clintons about China's slavery problems

 
Each year, the Bush administration has admirably called attention to modern-day slavery. A million -- yes, "progressives," that's a million -- or more men, women, and children live this very day in slavery. The Midnight Sun points us to a story that recently disappeared from the "Internets": China's systematic abuse of slaves in support of its economic expansion.

The People’s Republic of China has got to be the shame of socialist/Communist/Leftist ideologues everywhere but this latest story to emerge from the hellhole takes the cake. It’s a story of slavery, of 1000 children (many abducted from their parents) and mentally impaired adults amongst the vast numbers. Stories have emerged of at least one of the ’slaves’ who was beaten to death, while others have been burned, maimed and subjected to other inhuman treatment.

The plight of these slaves was ignored by police, local Government, trade unions and the Communist Party officials who were told. Finally a journalist went and secretly investigated, filming the horrors there and the whistle was blown. President Hu Jintao, no doubt embarrassed by the media attention, ordered a token inspection and named a few scapegoat brick work bosses. However, the story has been removed from the website it was hosted on and this journalist has now been silenced and refuses to comment.

Time Magazine has more information about countries recently added to the US Human Trafficking Blacklist.

Rest assured that you'll never hear a peep about China's slavery problems from most of the "progressives." Folks like the Clintons have certain ties -- names like Hsu, Riady, the Lippo Group, Huang, and Chung come to mind -- that preclude Hillary speaking from her mind.

Because if she did, certain -- er -- funding streams might dry up.

Attorneys argue whether Hillary should be in court

 
News giant KESQ (Palm Springs, CA) reports:

An attorney for a former Hillary Clinton supporter says the Democratic presidential contender should be reinstated as a defendant in a lawsuit because she allegedly violated campaign finance laws during her bid for a Senate seat in 2000.

Businessman Peter Paul is challenging a lower court's decision to remove the New York senator from his lawsuit in which he claims that Clinton, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and others fraudulently induced him to finance a lavish Hollywood fundraising gala in August 2000... Paul claims he spent nearly two million dollars to underwrite the star-studded event that attracted celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Cher and Diana Ross.

Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz dismissed Hillary Clinton from Paul's lawsuit in April 2006, citing [a California] statute designed to reduce frivolous lawsuits...

Today in Los Angeles, Paul's attorney Colette Wilson argued Hillary Clinton broke federal campaign finance laws by helping plan the Hollywood fundraiser. Wilson entered into evidence a videotape of a July 2000 phone call in which the future senator talks with organizers about the event...

The "frivolous lawsuit" statute would not be applicable if the court rules Hillary broke any law during the events in question. In the "smoking gun" videotape, it's pretty clear that Hillary -- and White House assistant Kelly Craighead -- were deeply involved in the planning of the event. In that case, Ms. Clinton would be deemed a defendant in the civil suit.

That should make for some interesting press coverage in the midst of her campaign.

"How and who talking to Hsu"?

 
Democratic donor and part-time fugitive Norman Hsu was a no-show at his bail hearing, which isn't a great strategy for getting one's bail reduced.

Federal Election Commission records show Hsu donated $260,000 to various Democratic groups and candidates since '04. Hsu's also been a major backer of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Hsu's attorney, Jim Brosnahan, is mystified as to his client's whereabouts.

"Mr. Hsu is not here and we do not know where Mr. Hsu is," Brosnahan said outside court. Brosnahan said that "there was some contact" with Hsu a few hours before the scheduled 9 a.m. court appearance, but he declined to say how and who talked to Hsu.

Hsu adds to the Clintons' burgeoning record book (hat tip: Gateway Pundit):

* Number close to the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 44
* Number of convictions during his administration: 33
* Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61
* Number of imprisonments: 14
* Number of presidential impeachments: 1
* Number of independent counsel investigations: 7
* Number of congressional witnesses pleading the 5th Amendment: 72
* Number of witnesses fleeing the country to avoid testifying: 17
* Number of foreign witnesses who have declined interviews by investigative bodies: 19

The Clinton machine now holds the record for the administration with:

* The most number of convictions and guilty pleas
* The most number of cabinet members to come under criminal investigation
* The most number of witnesses to flee the country or refuse to testify
* The most number of key witnesses to die suddenly
* The greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
* The greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad.

Hey, check it out! That item in red looks like it's about to change! That crazy, whacky Hsu!

The Clintons must be so proud... they've established some records that will never be broken. Kind of like Dimaggio's hitting streak, only involving criminals and not baseballs.

Hillary Clinton in her own words

 
Hillary 1992: "Part of what I believe with all my heart is that the voters are tired of people who lie to them. They're tired of people who act like something they're not. They're tired of people who deny problems. They're tired of people who neglect problems."

Hilllary 2007 (on the Hsu fundraising debacle): "We do the very best job we can based on the information available to us to make appropriate vetting decisions, and this one, uhh, was a big surprise to everybody."

Hillary 2000 (on her brother selling presidential pardons): "You know, it came as a surprise, uhh, to me, and it was very disturbing, and I'm just, uh, very disappointed about it. I did, uh, not, uh, have any involvement, you know, and, uh, I'm just very, uh, disappointed about my brother's involvement. If I had known about, uh, this, we wouldn't be standing here today. Uhhh, I didn't know about it, and I'm very...regretful that, uh, it occurred, that I didn't know about it. Uh, I might have been able to prevent this from happening. And I'm just very disappointed about the whole matter. I did not know. I was heartbroken and -- and shocked by it."

Hillary 1994 (on the Rose Law firm billing records): "The young attorney, the young bank officer did all the work, and the letter was sent, but because I was what you call 'the billing attorney' -- in other words, I had to send the bill to get the payment made -- my name was put on the bottom of the letter. It was not an area that I practiced in. It was not an area that I really know anything, to speak of, about."

Hillary 1994 (on the records removed from Vince Foster's office): "I -- I can tell you what I know which is that I did not know that Vince had any of the documents related to our personal business in his office until after his death."

Hillary 1998 (on the Lewinsky affair): "Answer my husband. I mean, you know, he woke me up Wednesday morning and said, 'You're not going to believe this, but...' and I said, 'What is this?' And so, yeah, it came as a very big surprise... 'But...I want to tell you what's in the newspapers.'"

In short, Hillary's dumbfounded regarding Hsu, the Rose Law firm records, Travelgate, Whitewater, the cattle futures contracts, the Peter Paul fundraising concert starring Cher, her brother selling pardons, etc.

She claims to be clueless regarding a string of major incidents in her life and she's shocked -- shocked -- to find out about them. And that qualifies her to be president... how?

Exclusive: the Coming Hsurricane for Hillary

 
The Peter Paul versus the Clintons civil suit continues to heat up. Doug from Upland writes to provide the contents of a fax that was sent to Senator Clinton's office earlier today. Two words. Wow! Okay, that was one word, but it's more polite than "holy s***"!

Click to Zoom

Doug has posted additional information on this Free Republic thread. Check it out and forward it on.

There is a gathering storm -- perhaps we should call it a "Hsurricane" -- and Gateway Pundit has more of the critical details.

Hillary's Menu of Presidential Services

 
In a CNS article ("New Clinton Scandal Mirrors 'Chinagate,' Say Analysts"), Fred Lucas provides an interesting recap of the Clinton administration's questionable behavior.

The 1996 Clinton fundraising scandal, often called "Chinagate" involved numerous anecdotes but never produced a smoking gun. Reported events included the following:

- Clinton friend Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie pleaded guilty to charges of violating campaign finance rules in exchange for having pending indictments dropped against him in Washington and Arkansas.

- According to news reports in 1997, Democratic donor Johnny Chung received a $150,000 transfer from the Bank of China three days before he handed then-First Lady Hillary Clinton's chief of staff a $50,000 check.

- Then-Vice President Al Gore received political donations from Buddhist nuns who had taken a vow of poverty.

- President Clinton admitted in 1997 that he invited major campaign donors to spend the night in the White House. The Clintons hosted 404 overnight guests.

- During the investigation by the Department of Justice, about 120 people connected to "Chinagate" either fled the country or pleaded the Fifth Amendment to prevent testifying... but [it] was not the only Clinton fundraising scandal.

After fugitive Marc Rich's ex-wife and a Rich friend donated a combined $1.45 million to the Clinton Presidential Library, he was granted a presidential pardon just before Clinton left office in January 2001. Rich fled the United States after he was convicted of tax evasion.

Also, Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign was involved in an illegal in-kind contribution from Hollywood mogul Peter Paul. That incident resulted in a $35,000 fine by the Federal Elections Committee and the indictment and later acquittal of her finance director, David Rosen...

Anticipating her election and to simplify matters for Hillary's backers, her staff has prepared a menu of suggested donations. Asked why prices had increased since her husband's days in office, staffers responded "you can chalk it up to inflation." Suggested donation levels include:

$100K - a membership in HillRaisers™ and two tickets to the 2008 Central Inauguration Party

$150K - comprehensive IRS audit of any person you designate

$200K - a picture of you and a partner in the Oval Office with the President and the First Dude

$250K - a night in the Lincoln Bedroom with Maureen Dowd

$275K - a night in the Lincoln Bedroom alone

$300K - a night in the Lincoln Bedroom with one hour "happy ending" pass to the Lewinsky Massage Room

$500K - one (1) presidential pardon

$950K - two (2) presidential pardons (a $50K discount when ordering two!)

$2.5M - your choice of either missile guidance or nuclear triggering techology

A letter from Hillary

 


Dear Doug,

I want to personally thank you for getting
involved in my campaign. It is critical that we
stay in touch as fast-moving events shape this
important election.

The stakes couldn't be higher, as you well know.

Rest assured that I am prepared to do anything --
and I mean anything -- to win this
election. Whether it means accepting money
from down home folks named Hsu, Riady, Huang,
or countless others with possible ties to the
Chinese military... or just blaming a vast right-wing conspiracy every time something goes wrong, you can count on me.

Because no matter what depths I stoop to in order to win, you can be sure it will be worth it. Yes, we can return to the heady days of the 90's, when there was no terrorist threat, we'd engineered a booming economy, and we'd eradicated corruption from Washington.

I'm kidding. Yes, we pretended there was no terrorist threat, but wasn't that easier to manage? And, sure, Tim Berners-Lee invented the web and spawned a gold rush on the Internet - no thanks to Bill. And I'll admit we had the most corrupt administration in recent memory (thank heavens for Tammany Hall!).

But wasn't it cool to have Steven Spielberg and Cher spending a night together in the Lincoln Bedroom? And global celebrities like Yassar Arafat visiting Camp David? Or the adrenaline-laced excitement of non-stop terrorist attacks? Let's face it - that was a more exciting America.

We can return to those pre-9/11 days - and that's what this campaign is all about! So let's show everyone what we can accomplish together. Here's one thing you can do: display my special gift to you, a Hillary for President bumper sticker! Or just click here to visit my exclusive catalog of Hillary-branded patchouli, bongs, and salad spinners.

If you're a well-compensated Hollywood executive, government-funded academic, or just a guilty liberal progressive with an extra $100K burning a hole in your pocket, please visit our high-roller website where you can join noteworthy alums like Norman Hsu and Marc Rich (hopefully you won't have to become a fugitive like them ;-).

Once again, thanks so much for standing with me and proudly displaying your Hillary-branded bumper stickers, incense, moccasins, Colonel Mustard's Lonely Hearts Club jackets, energy drinks, hemp bracelets, fraternity paddles, joybuzzers, and kneepads (all proudly bearing "made in China" stickers!).

Yours in victory, Sincerely,








Hillary Rodham Clinton

The Politico's Ben Smith rewrites history for Hillary

 
The Politico's Ben Smith has transformed himself into a world-class dissembler with his latest defense of the Clintons in the Hsu affair.

So is the Hsu story more sinister because Norman Hsu, the controversial donor, is Chinese-American, born in Hong Kong?

...But the Republican National Committee has been pushing this angle pretty hard, and apparently attempting to revive the — never proven — allegations of a Chinese "spy ring" buying its way into the 1996 Clinton campaign. ...This morning, [the RNC] e-mailed [a] transcript of an interview between the Wall Street Journal's John Fund and Alan Colmes:

Fund: "But I think we need to learn more. And I think we need to have Mr. Hsu found. [ed.- I've seen nothing to suggest he's hiding.] After all, there's a warrant out for his arrest on grand theft. And he should be brought in and should be asked a lot of questions about a lot of things." ...

Colmes: "But you want to pin this on Hillary Clinton because of his behavior?"

Fund: "No. No, no. The only concern with the Clinton campaign is we have seen strange campaign contribution scandals before. The 1996 campaign saw 120 people connected to the Clinton fundraising efforts either flee the country to avoid questioning or plead the Fifth Amendment. ... I'm simply saying the Clintonites should have learned from that 1996 thing."

Colmes: "First of all, you don't know that they didn't. You don't know they didn't. You want to go back John Huang. You want to go back to what happened in 1996 with Bill Clinton ... And then you want to use that to overlay that on Hillary Clinton, and presume that there's some malfeasance here because of what might have happened 10 years ago." ...

Fund: "[T]he same finance people who worked in the Clinton campaign in 1996 are running Hillary's campaign. The same people, Alan. Terry McAuliffe."

Nothing conclusive came out of those 1990s investigations.


Oh, really, Ben? May I remind you of... (cue the ominous music)

The strange case of Bill Clinton and the Chinese Military

On 9/13/1995, President Clinton met with John Huang and James Riady (pictured below). During the meeting, Huang expressed an interest in becoming a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee.

In this position at the DNC, Huang raised $3.4 million. The DNC was later forced to return nearly $2 million when a Congressional investigation revealed "problems" with the source of the funds. Huang was later convicted of crimes related to illegally reimbursing campaign contributions with Asian funds. Riady was also convicted of related campaign finance crimes. A U.S. Senate campaign finance report stated that Riady had a, "long-term relationship with... Chinese intelligence."

On 3/14/1996, President Clinton signed an order transferring license-granting authority for military/industrial technology from the State Department to the Commerce Department. This order made it easier for the Chinese military (the PLA) to launch American satellites, over objections from the Pentagon and the State Department. During the Clinton administration, focused Chinese espionage efforts made significant headway in the theft of U.S. military/industrial secrets including those concerning nuclear weaponry.

On 5/25/1999, the U.S. House of Representatives released the Cox Report ("Report of the Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China"), which detailed publicly for the first time China's espionage campaign against the United States. The report was a redacted version of a still-classified report. Approximately 30% of the original report, the unanimous product of a bi-partisan committee, remains classified.

Those are the facts, Ben. Oh, and by the way, if you're so convinced of the Clintons' innocence in these matters, why not demand the full disclosure of the Cox Report and the Barrett Report? The latter is reputed to be chock-full of interesting disclosures and was censored by the Clintons' law firm. But I'm sure it's "nothing conclusive."

Hillary Clinton's A-List Donors

 
The Wall Street Journal reports that Hillary Clinton's campaign cash is coming from some unlikely places.

Election records show that six members of the Paw family have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, including nearly $50,000 to Hillary Clinton. All six list their address as a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for nearly $300,000. William Paw, the head of the household, is a 64-year-old mail carrier who earns around $49,000 annually. His wife, also 64, lists her occuption as a homemaker.

Interestingly, the Paws' donations match those of a wealthy New York businessman named Norman Hsu. The Paws, Mr. Hsu and five of his co-workers donated a total of $47,500 to Hillary's campaign on the same day, four different times, in 2007. In total, Hsu and his associates have given Clinton $133,000 since 2005 and nearly $750,000 to all Democratic candidates.

This would appear to be either a very bizarre coincidence or a blatant attempt to subvert campaign finance laws, because each individual's donations are limited to $4,600 per candidate.

Our exclusive investigation unearthed some other reputed Clinton donors:

The Jebediah Hankee family: nearly $50,000 since 2005 and use of the family's private jet.

Mr. and Mrs. F. Booger Cunningham and extended family, around $120,000.

Orville "Champ" Prendergrast, $26,500.

Milton Weemus and family, $42,000.

Ebenezer "Running Sores" Pooter, $17,250.

Bubba "Duke" Clampers: around $75,000.

In all seriousness, this isn't the first time Hillary's grappled with allegations of massive campaign fraud. John Armor, an Election Law Expert at Equal Justice Foundation, says Hillary may already be involved in the "largest election law fraud in US history."

That would be reflected in the Peter Paul vs. the Clintons civil suit. In that case, it appears that Hillary will be testifying, under oath, in relation to the "smoking gun" election fraud video that was recently released.

This appears to be yet another chapter in a long story of suspicious fund-raising activities.

Update: Dan Riehl: "Norman Hsu... is wanted by authorities for failing to do a three year prison stretch based upon a no contest plea to grand theft swindling charges."

Hillary worried about terror attacks

 
No, Hillary Clinton isn't worried about terror attacks because more innocent Americans might die. She's concerned because the attacks might affect her candidacy:

"If certain things happen between now and the election, particularly with respect to terrorism, that will automatically give the Republicans an advantage again, no matter how badly they have mishandled it, no matter how much more dangerous they have made the world. So I think I'm the best of the Democrats to deal with that..."

Upon hearing Hillary's confirmation that homeland security is simply a partisan issue for liberals progressives, Chris Dodd sprang into action, calling her comments "tasteless."

What ever you do, don't question Hillary's patriotism. Remember, for the Clintons, poll numbers are far more important than any long-term strategy or planning.

It depends on what the definition of 'kill' is

 
Gateway Pundit fires up the Clinton fabrication detector and pegs the needle. Newsweek reporters Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball reviewed the Inspector General's report of pre-9/11 intelligence failures. One interesting revelation: Clinton's anti-Fox outburst notwithstanding, he never authorized the assassination of Osama Bin Laden:

The report... criticized intelligence problems when Bill Clinton was president, detailing political and legal “constraints” agency officials felt in the late 1990s.

...[the] report made it clear [why the U.S.] never mounted more effective operations against him. ...Scheuer agreed with the inspector general’s findings on this issue, but said if anything the report was overly diplomatic. "There was never any ambiguity," he said. "None of those authorities ever allowed us to kill anyone. At least that’s what the CIA lawyers told us." A spokesman for the former president had no immediate comment...

In September 2006, during a famous encounter with Fox News anchor Wallace, Clinton erupted in anger and waived his finger when asked about whether his administration had done enough to get bin Laden. “What did I do? What did I do?” Clinton said at one point. “I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since.”

Ed Morrissey -- not exactly the vindictive type nor interested in revisiting 9/11 -- concisely nails Clinton to the wall:

I've written before that pursuing partisan blame for 9/11 is a waste of time. It gets in the way of determining where failures occurred and developing the proper approaches to avoid them in the future...

However, it gets difficult to remember that when former presidents essentially lie about their roles on national television. Given Clinton's unique history, this prevarication and self-aggrandizement comes as no surprise, but it is still pretty disappointing. It leaves the historical record muddied, right up to the point when independent investigations reveal the truth. Worse, his shouted fabrications contribute to the partisan atmosphere...

And Fausta's on fire:

Ed asks, Did Clinton lie about targeting Bin Laden?, to which I say, the question should be, "when hasn't Clinton lied about anything?"

Indeed, Clinton never gave the CIA an assassination order on bin Laden. Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball have the whole story. Don Surber points out,
Michael Isikoff, the reporter who broke the Monica Lewinsky story only to have his editors at Newsweek spike the story, has caught Bill Clinton in another lie: He never authorized the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Perhaps it all depends on what the definition of "kill" is.

To paraphrase Harry Truman: if the Clintons ever caught themselves telling the truth, they'd lie just to keep their hand in.

Gaping hole found in Universe

 
Scientists revealed Thursday that a giant hole in the Universe is completely devoid of galaxies, stars, and even dark matter.

The University of Minnesota team said the 'hole' is almost a billion light-years across and there is no explanation for its presence. "Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said Lawrence Rudnick, an astronomy professor.

When asked what the hole would be called, Rudnick suggested "the core beliefs of Hillary Clinton."

Socialized Medicine the Hillary Way

 
This is London offers a sad and cautionary tale of HillaryCare:

...[A] Mother forced to give birth alone in toilet of 'flagship' NHS hospital...

A young mother had to deliver her own baby in the lavatory of a flagship hospital because there were no trained midwives available. Surveyor Catherine Brown had made the agonising decision to undergo a chemically-induced abortion after being told her 18-week pregnancy was risking her life.

But when the time came to give birth she was on an ear, nose and throat ward and had only her mother to help her through the ordeal. Her premature son Edward died in her arms minutes later... The traumatised mother-of-one said: "I just howled and howled. I remember sitting there looking at him and thinking, 'What do I do next?'. I just sat there on the toilet looking at my dead baby.

"It was dreadful - a terrible nightmare. Then I started crying my eyes out and repeating, 'I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry'. I still can't believe the hospital had no trained staff who could help me...

If this is the kind of thing that occurs in a British 'flagship' hospital, one trembles to consider medical treatment in lesser facilities. And, lest you believe our neighbors to the north are any better, take time to review Canada's issues with HillaryCare.

Hurricane Paul threatens to swamp Hillary's Campaign

 
WND has the latest details on one-time Spitzer ally Jim Nesfield's efforts to marshal bloggers to publicize the Clintons' forthcoming testimony in the Peter Paul case:

Wall Street whistleblower Jim Nesfield's Equal Justice Foundation features Peter Franklin Paul's fraud suit against the Clintons and the accompanying allegations against the New York senator.

"It's the No. 1 civil case in the country exposing an unprecedented array of frauds and obstruction of justice by the Clintons that the media refuses to report," Nesfield told WND.

In a year-long effort coinciding with the presidential campaign, Nesfield will try to mobilize a consortium of bloggers to "crash through" what he calls "the information blockade" created by U.S. Media. His aim, he says, is to "help educate the public about the facts of Hillary Clinton's misconduct as presented in Paul v. Clinton."

As WND reported, a California appeals court has set oral arguments for an appeal of Sen. Clinton's dismissal from a $17 million fraud case in which her husband already is a defendant.

Along with ruling whether the New York Democrat should also be a defendant in the case, the court will be asked to decide whether she committed a felony by soliciting campaign contributions of more than $1.2 million...

The Hillary Accountability Project has all of the details.

Where would they go if the US gets socialized medicine?

 
Prairie Pundit (hat tip: Larwyn):

A 35-year-old Canadian woman has given birth to rare identical quadruplets, officials at a Great Falls hospital said Thursday. Karen Jepp of Calgary, Alberta, delivered... [four girls, who] were breathing without ventilators and listed in good condition Thursday.

...The Jepps drove 325 miles [from Canada] to Great Falls for the births because hospitals in Calgary were at capacity...

Michael Moore was unavailable for comment.

Just wondering...

 
Would it be okay for you to break into an empty home because you wanted a nicer place to stay?

Would it be reasonable for you to break into a family's home because they had a spare bedroom and might be looking for a full-time nanny?

Would it be acceptable to crash a party at the Playboy mansion because Hef had plenty of extra food, drink and some really cute females?

Would it be fair to sneak into the local YMCA to work out because you didn't want the hassle of siging up and paying a membership fee?

Would it be justifiable to sneak onto a large corporate campus because they had advertised some jobs in the paper?

Would it be advisable to allow millions of non-citizens to enter the country without sanction, while paying for their health-care and use of public services?

* * *

I'm just wondering how that line gets drawn by folks like Hillary Clinton?

Exclusive: Hillary's first TV ad debuts

 
Hillary's running her first ad. It's pretty compelling. Here's an exclusive first-look.

Mrs. Clinton: As I travel around America, I hear from so many people who feel like they’re just invisible to their government.

Voice Over: Hillary Clinton has spent her life standing up for people others don’t see. People like the Chinese Military, who bought sensitive missile technology from her husband in exchange for campaign donations. Or people like FALN terrorists, who were offered clemency by Bill Clinton in support of his wife's run at the Senate.

Mrs. Clinton: You know, if you’re a family of illegal immigrants that is struggling, and you don’t have health care, you are invisible to the system. But you won't be invisible to me. If you're an illegal immigrant, I support a quick path to citizenship and national in-state tuition for your kids.

Mrs. Clinton: If you’re a single mom whose family disintegrated due to our party's "Great Society" approach to welfare dependency, well, we're sorry. We'll try and get it right this time. Even though you're invisible, I guess.

Mrs. Clinton: And I never thought I would see that our soldiers would be treated as though they were invisible as well. When our leaders declare the "war is lost" and demoralize our troops... when our talking points are indistinguishable from the terrorists... well, we have a major problem.

Granted, those are the Democratic Party's issues, but I'm no cookie-cutter Democrat. I'm a woman. Hear me roar.

Mrs. Clinton: Americans from all walks of life across our country may be invisible to this President, but they’re not invisible to me and they won’t be invisible to the next President of the United States.

Mrs. Clinton: I will, however, ignore trivial issues like terrorism and madmen with nukes...

...those kinds of things will be invisible to me.

Mrs. Clinton: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

Voice Over: If exposure to Hillary Clinton's voice results in a condition known as priapism, please contact your medical professional immediately.
