Hillary Clinton has helped more Americans than any GOP politician alive

[rdean]

From Fact Check on her claim of helping millions of American children:

Giving Hillary Credit for SCHIP

Hillary Clinton took a major role in translating the new law into action. The program leaves to the states the job of setting up coverage and getting children enrolled, a task that continues to be a struggle to this day. In February 1999, after 47 states had set up SCHIP programs, the Clintons launched a drive to "Insure Kids Now." Hillary took the lead, speaking first before her husband in an East Room event at the White House.

Hillary Clinton, Feb. 23, 1999: At least half of all uninsured children are eligible for federal-state health insurance programs, but too often their parents don’t know or don’t believe they qualify. As successful, for example, as Medicaid has been, an estimated 4 million eligible children are still not enrolled.

In April that year the first lady gave a speech saying nearly 1 million children had been enrolled during the previous year, but that increasing the figure was "one of the highest priorities" of her husband’s administration. She said the president would seek $1 billion to fund a five-year "outreach" effort, with a goal of increasing enrollment to 5 million by 2000. Our conclusion: Clinton is right on this one.

Some have pointed to George Bush as someone who helps people. But his ignorant no condoms policies probably caused more cases of AIDS than helped.

Bush accused of Aids damage to Africa

A senior United Nations official has accused President George Bush of "doing damage to Africa" by cutting funding for condoms, a move which may jeopardise the successful fight against HIV/Aids in Uganda.

Stephen Lewis, the UN secretary general's special envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa, said US cuts in funding for condoms and an emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to a shortage of condoms in Uganda, one of the few African countries which has succeeded in reducing its infection rate.

Well you can't fault him for trying. It is awfully tough trying to make Hillary look good.

Remember the saying lipstick on a pig? It certainly applies here.

 

[Flash]

Yea that Crooked Hillary bitch is big on giving away other people's money.

Since she is so fucking rich with her laundering money through the Clinton Foundation scam why don't she just fund the stupid program herself?

 

[washamericom]

what an optimistic rose colored thread. i'd say she's helped herself too, more than all the gop politicians alive today.

here's a headliner to one of your links:

So far, Trump has only insulted, abused and patronized service members and veterans on the trail. That’s no way to win our support.

libs see this as gospel...

it would be like "there is a unanimous consensus that every expert in the world thinks that private servers for national security secrets are a great idea."

anyway... So far, Hillary has only insulted, abused and patronized service members and veterans on the trail. That’s no way to win our support.

Just not 12 year old rape victims or US ambassadors or soldiers

 

[easyt65]

Hillary has helped KILL more Americans than any current GOP Presidential candidate alive.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

No she hasn't. What a farce.

 

[rdean]

Notice how these right wingers can't go any further than saying "it's not true". They can't even name a single GOP policy in the last 40 years that's helped a majority of Americans. Unless they believe billionaires are the majority.
It's hilarious. They can attack her but can't refute what she's done.

And to bring up Trump, who tried to stiff the vets and he called them thieves and he's going to court in a civil case being sued for Fraud and Racketeering is hilarious.

 

[easyt65]

Notice how these right wingers can't go any further than saying "it's not true".

Does anyone with as much common sense as God gave a door knob REALLY need links / evidence to realize this declaration is a lump of horse shit?

You're talking about the woman who when Diane Feinstein was asked to name even ONE of her accomplishments could NOT name one...not even with the help of Google!

Dianne Feinstein needs Google to look up Hillary Clinton’s accomplishments as senator

Wow, it's suddenly so clear.

Like I said, all they have are attacks. They can't refute anything.

Top Clinton Foundation Official: "This Is Not Charity"

April 28, 2015 By Sean Davis

The Clinton Foundation is currently under fire for its practice of secretly collecting foreign donations while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State and then refusing to disclose the donations as required by law. The tax-exempt non-profit has also been criticized for spending a huge chunk of its money on items like office supplies and travel instead of on charitable grants. An analysis by The Federalist showed that the Clinton Foundation spent less than 10 percent of its budget on charitable grants from 2011 through 2013.
“This is not charity,” Magaziner told The Atlantic in 2007. “The whole thing is bankable. It’s a commercial proposition.”

One argument offered by Clinton defenders is that the former first family’s charitable organization isn’t a grant-making foundation and instead chooses to do much of its charitable work in-house. The result, according to these defenders, is that the group’s charitable work won’t really show up on a tax form since the bulk of it is done by salaried employees of the foundation.

There’s only one problem with this rationale: it was resoundingly rejected by Ira Magaziner, the CEO of the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the brains behind the Clinton Foundation. “This is not charity,” Magaziner told The Atlantic in 2007. “The whole thing is bankable. It’s a commercial proposition.”

 

[easyt65]

So the answer is Dianne Feinstein?

Feinstein is all that is needed. A link, evidence, was asked for proving the OP statement is a lie. Feinstein, a 'prominent' Liberal politician who has been in office for decades, was asked to name any of her fellow Senator's accomplishments, not even to defend such a ridiculous claim as made above, and she could not do it, not even with the help of google.

link Provided.
Evidence Provided.
'Nuff Said.

Now if Liberals want to provide links / evidence comparing Hillary to every GOP member alive showing she has done more, I fully welcome those links and facts.

...thanks for playing.

 

[rdean]

You guys are fucking morons, I swear. You put up a few charts and say "see?" as if that explains something.

The Clinton Foundation has been checked by reputable organizations that monitor charities. None of them say any of the bullshit and nonsense you do.

------------------------

Another philanthropy watchdog, CharityWatch, a project of the American Institute of Philanthropy, gave the Clinton Foundation an “A” rating.

Daniel Borochoff, president and founder of CharityWatch, told us by phone that its analysis of the finances of the Clinton Foundation and its affiliates found that about 89 percent of the foundation budget is spent on programming (or “charity”), higher than the 75 percent considered the industry standard.

Where Does Clinton Foundation Money Go?

Considering all of the organizations affiliated with the Clinton Foundation, he said, CharityWatch concluded about 89 percent of its budget is spent on programs. That’s the amount it spent on charity in 2013, he said.

--------------------------

“Charity Navigator … [has] placed the Clinton Foundation on a watch list,” Willis said. “They think there are problems with this nonprofit. They don’t like the way it runs itself. They say the money is not spent wisely.”

She said Charity Navigator concluded the Clinton Foundation “does not meet their criteria as an organization that does charitable work.”

But that’s not what Charity Navigator said.

One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.

Simply put, despite its name, the Clinton Foundation is not a private foundation — which typically acts as a pass-through for private donations to other charitable organizations. Rather, it is a public charity. It conducts most of its charitable activities directly.

-----------------------

Right wingers are just lying shitstains. Instead of saying "This is what we are doing" and then giving us something, they try to tear down everyone else. What does that tell you?

They didn't even try to tear apart Hillary helping millions of children getting health care. Instead they cry oh look at all those she killed with abortion. As if the right wing gives a flying fuck about born children. They don't. We know it. Everyone knows it.

It’s a commercial proposition.”

Have you checked out Magaziner's job performance reviews? Hilarious!

But a harsh new set of complaints about Mr. Magaziner were captured this year in a performance review, with most of the grievances coming from the board of the Clinton Health Access Initiative, or CHAI, of which Chelsea Clinton is a member.

The review said Mr. Magaziner had shown “disdain” for the health initiative’s board, exhibited “duplicitousness with management” and displayed a “lack of transparency” and “dismissive behavior”

Board members also accused Mr. Magaziner of “paranoia,” according to the review.

And a separate, broader organizational review revealed that efforts had been made to start considering possible successors to Mr. Magaziner —

But Mr. Magaziner’s performance review also said that his underlings could find him “prickly,” “intimidating,” “abrasive” and “arrogant.” And it cited interviews with unnamed board members who savaged Mr. Magaziner, saying he treated them with disrespect and suspicion, had created needless divisions and was overly concerned with gaining independence from the Clinton family.

“Ira’s ‘paranoia’ was mentioned by several board members to encompass Ira’s general mistrust of the board and its intentions,” the review found. “This was cited as particularly prevalent when it comes to the Clintons. Several board members indicate that Ira has misrepresented the board and the Clinton Foundation to management and others, which has resulted in an unhealthy relationship and tension.”

His disdain for the initiative’s board, the report added, “is damaging and unnecessary, and perceived to be motivated by his drive for independence from the Clintons.”

Fuck politicking inside an organization. It's all about whether or not they help people. Republican politicians only help the wealthy. You know it. It know it. You don't even try to prove otherwise. Why not? Because we both know you can't.
