'Funny' you should ask:
Bill Clinton BOUGHT the votes Hillary needed to win the NY Senate City Seat in his FALN Pardon Scandal. (Look it up before saying anything stupid about it...)
** From the WSJ: The Clintons' Terror Pardons
Everyone knows that the Clintons' giving (and receiving) timely and extensive' donations to the right people at the right time open lots of doors and gets things done, a lesson Hillary has never forgotten, but so does PARDONING TERRORISTS!
FALN, Islamic Extremists, bragged about the bloodbath, calling the victims "reactionary corporate executives" and threatening: "You have unleashed a storm from which you comfortable Yankees can't escape." By 1996, the FBI had linked FALN to 146 bombings and a string of armed robberies -- a reign of terror that resulted in nine deaths and hundreds of injured victims. (What is it about Liberals that make them like and so willing to help Islamic Extremists who attack and kill Americans?)
On Aug. 7, 1999, the one-year anniversary of the U.S. African embassy bombings that killed 257 people and injured 5,000, President Bill Clinton reaffirmed his commitment to the victims of terrorism, vowing that he "will not rest until justice is done." Four days later, while Congress was on summer recess, the White House quietly issued a press release announcing that the president was granting clemency to 16 imprisoned members of FALN. What began as a simple paragraph on the AP wire exploded into a major controversy.
Mr. Clinton justified the clemencies by asserting that the sentences were disproportionate to the crimes. None of the petitioners, he stated, had been directly involved in crimes that caused bodily harm to anyone. "For me," the president concluded, "the question, therefore, was whether their continuing incarceration served any meaningful purpose." The U.S. Sentencing Commission affirmed a pre-existing Justice Department assessment that the sentences, ranging from 30 to 90 years, were "in line with sentences imposed in other cases for similar terrorist activity."
The prisoners were convicted on a variety of charges that included conspiracy, sedition, violation of the Hobbes Act (extortion by force, violence or fear), armed robbery and illegal possession of weapons and explosives -- including large quantities of C-4 plastic explosive, dynamite and huge caches of ammunition. Several of the members he pardoned, however, declared they rejected his pardon, that they were apologetic for the terrorist attacks. (Kinda reminds you of Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers, doesn't it?) Twenty-four hours before a scheduled Senate committee hearing, the DOJ withheld the FBI's written statement about the history of the FALN and an assessment of its current terrorist capability.
FALN's pardon came with strings...a guarantee for votes for Hillary.
Despite the Clintons' repeated denials, there is evidence that the pardons were offered to the terrorists with Hillary Clinton's full knowledge. In the Oct. 4, 1999, issue of the New Republic, Jose Rivera, then a New York City Councilman, is quoted as saying that he personally approached Hillary on Aug. 9, 1999. He said he gave her a packet of information about the FALN members along with a personal letter asking her to "speak to the president and ask him to consider granting clemency" to them.
Two days later, on Aug. 11, President Clinton would offer pardons to the terrorists.

I'm saying America was better off when Clinton was president. Then Bush and the Republicans ruined everything.

TRANSLATION: She married the right guy, and rode his coattails into office.
TRANSLATION: She managed to fool people into thinking she had done something, still without naming any actual contribution she made.
TRANSLATION: She got her husband to appoint her to a post she couldn't handle, tried to take over 1/7 of the national economy, and failed due to publishing a book describing exactly what she intended. American voters were so repelled by her scheme, that they wrote to their congressmen in droves and persuaded them not to vote for it. In the subsequent national election, more members of her party were thrown out of office than at any other time in U.S. history, as American voters gave majorities to Republicans for the first time in living memory.
Hillary's role in destroying the Democrat party for decades, remains her only significant accomplishment. For this, the nation owes her a debt of gratitude.
(There follows a long list of things she "helped", in which no actual accomplishments are listed. There's a reason for that.)
There's a pattern here.

Here is Fox News giving Hillary Clinton credit for her accomplishments. Eleven accomplishments Hillary Clinton should be touting on the campaign trail | Fox News
1. Advocate for women and children. For nearly a quarter-century on the national forefront as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State, Hillary has worked toward reform on women’s reproductive rights, establishing the importance of family values, and improving after-school programs.
2. Equal-pay proponent. As both an advocate and legislator, she is a stalwart on women’s rights to equal pay, and she remains so as a presidential candidate.
3. Women’s safety. Clinton’s role in creating the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women underscores her advocacy for gender equality. She has also made the cause a significant Clinton Foundation priority.
4. 9/11 redevelopment. In the aftermath of September 11th, she worked closely with her senior Senate counterpart from New York, Sen. Charles Schumer, on securing $21.4 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.
5. Middle East ceasefire. In November 2012, Secretary of State Clinton brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
6. Iranian Nuclear Deal. As Secretary of State, she not only recognized the imperative of placating Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but also took proactive steps to begin negotiating a viable deal.
7. Free-trade agreements. Secretary Clinton played a role in numerous U.S.-led bilateral trade agreements—most notably, efforts on the TPP and a deal brokered between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
8. Minimum wage. Both Clinton’s presidential platform and legislative record clearly identify her support for raising the federal minimum wage.
9. Climate Change. Alongside many of her Democratic counterparts, Clinton has championed the fight against climate change, both domestically and on a global scale.
10. Human Rights. Hillary’s career has been marked by advocacy for human rights. In her concern as First Lady and Secretary of State especially, Clinton worked to ensure proper labor and sociopolitical protections around the world.
11. Gun control. Her legislative record and decades of advocacy for highlight her views, which are in step with a majority of Americans.

It was already ruined by the time Obama was elected. He is slowly picking up the pieces.

So what the RWnuts want us to believe is that based on accomplishments,
Hillary Clinton is tied with 16 Republicans at ZERO.

I think you stepped in some fallacy. Might wanna wipe your feet off.With all due respect, Jillian...the question wasn't what "jobs" Hillary Clinton has held...it's what she's accomplished while holding one of those jobs. The fact that so many of her supporters can't come up with a single accomplishment for her is rather telling. It paints her as someone who is more sizzle than steak!In the last debate Carly Fiorina said the best way to stump a Democrat was to ask them to name a Hillary Clinton Accomplishment.... Not only was this pretty darn funny, but it was pretty accurate, too:
Hillary, Name Your #1 Accomplishment - 'Buy My Book' (aka, "Show Me The Money!")
- Blitzer Asks Her To Name Her #1 Accomplishment . Hillary Can’t Name One, either, but does say “If anybody is interested — you know there is a long list of what I have done and I’m very proud of it. You can read my book ‘Hard Choices’.”
(20 May 15) Halperin Finds Iowa Democrats Can’t Name Hillary Accomplishments as Secretary of State
- For his With All Due Respect show on Bloomberg TV, Mark Halperin sat down with a focus group of Iowa Democratic voters to discuss Hillary Clinton‘s prospects for the 2016 presidential election. While the group fawned over the former First Lady’s personality and politics (one called her a “bad mama jama”), they were stumped when Halperin asked them to name a single accomplishment of Hillary Clinton’s during her tenure as Secretary of State.
20 May 15) Iowa Dems can’t name a Hillary accomplishment either
- During the 2008 election, a local Democratic official got stuck for an answer during a Hardball interview when asked to name Barack Obama’s accomplishments. Seven years later, a roomful of Iowa Democrats gets stumped by Mark Halperin when asking the same question about Hillary Clinton and her years at the White House. One respondent, clearly embarrassed, laughs and asks Halperin, “You want to give me a minute?” She then adds, “Give me two minutes.”
(21 June 15) On 'The View,' Co-Host Rosie Perez Struggles Badly to List Hillary's
- On Thursday's edition of The View on ABC, co-host Rosie Perez took offense at Jeb Bush for suggesting Hillary Clinton had no accomplishments in the Senate or as Secretary of State…then struggled to list any.
State Department spokeswoman can't name Hillary Clinton's diplomatic achievements ...- - State Department Press Secretary Jen Psaki was flummoxed when asked to name even one of Hillary’s accomplishments: 'I am certain that those who were here at the time, who worked hard on that effort, could point out one,' Psaki replied through a forced smile. 'I’m sure there are a range of things that were put into place that I’m not even aware of,' she offered moments later. A CNN panel erupted into laughter when Psaki’s gaffe was shown on TV.
so funny.... you're whining about Hillary but would vote for someone who doesn't even know who the world leadersd are.
and wackadoodle..... top 100 attorney in the country, first lady, senator from ny, secretary of state far more respected than anyone since colin powell.
if that weren't the case, you all wouldn't be whinging continually.
the rightwingnut delusions and derangement are getting old and boring and, interestingly, only work on other deluded and deranged rightwingnuts.

Ah, the ol' 'vast right wing conspiracy theory'! ROFLOL!
Even if it were 'questionable', which facts seem to show it is NOT, it is still proven that Hillary and Bill Clinton, much like Obama, had/has an affinity for domestic terrorists, Islamic Extremists, and are more than willing - as proven in their past - to have no problem with our 'enemies' who bob the US and kill our citizens. Pardoning FALN, guys who bragged about what they did and declared they wanted no part of Clinton's pardon, was like releasing terrorists in GITMO for attacking the US and killing our soldiers.
