Questions for Hillary
...Gothca? To some extent, they are, but they are also interesting questions that go to the heart of the politics of fraud and deceit used by this Democrat. The question on Social Security is particularly difficult for her. You might say it presents a quandary or is a thorny issue for her.* After the Philadelphia debate, your campaign tried to explain away your lackluster performance by implying your male competitors were unfairly "piling on" because you're a woman. Do you really think sexism is an issue here? Which of your Democratic opponents are the most sexist? Will you play this card with foreign leaders if you run into trouble as commander in chief?
* You keep saying that Social Security has lost 14 years of solvency on President Bush's watch. In 2000, your husband's last year in office, the program's trustees said it would be solvent until 2037. Now they say it'll be solvent until 2041.
As the most serious female candidate for president we've ever had, aren't you setting a bad example by not being able to do math?
* In the '90s, the Clinton administration furiously denied the suggestion you were a "co-president." Now you routinely suggest your tenure as first lady was presidential experience. So which was it?
And why should your tenure in the Clinton administration count when the one thing you ran - health-care reform - failed miserably without a vote in Congress?
* You've said this administration's secrecy "on matters large and small is very disturbing." In particular, you and other Democrats have criticized Vice President Dick Cheney's refusal to be more open about his energy task force. Were you disturbed by your health-care task force's similar secrecy?
...
* In 1993, staffers on your secretive health-care task force penned a memo in which they schemed to use state-run children's health insurance - "Kids First" - as a first step toward the nationalization of health care. "Kids First is really a precursor to the new system," they wrote. Do you still share that ambition? Is that why you support the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP?
...
* You've repeatedly denounced Halliburton's "no-bid contracts." Did you object when the Clinton administration awarded a similar non-competitive contract to Halliburton for reconstruction work in the former Yugoslavia? If not, why not? If so, why didn't your husband listen?
* Can you explain - without accusing anyone of anti-Asian bigotry - why so many Chinese criminals keep giving you and your husband piles of cash?
