Though this is the "Attack Iraq" page, I'd say this about Hillary: What about all those commodity trades? The probability is GREATER that you could throw a bowling ball a quarter mile and knock over ten pins, than be as successful as she was in the commodities market. The story goes that trading was done on both sides of a commodity. The successful, $$-making trade was booked to Hillary's account. The losing trade was booked to the "house account". This was the manner in which a political donation was done, "off the books" and away from fair campaign practices (this was the Arkansas governorship, folks). But too complicated for public consumption. How about a book? "It Takes A Broker"

This was a stranger, and it was a random conversation. But, she is typical, unfortunately. She's the type who is out to carry a chip. She says has been mistreated by men, she felt, and she identifies with Hillary. I cannot relate to the her train of thought. She feels that Hillary is big on healthcare, and women's rights and that is the basis of her belief system. Interesting food for thought, because she is the typical voter w/out information. Actually, that is fool for thought, regarding her beliefs. It is intriguing, because there are voters w/out any information, and I feel both parties are missing that. Then what about the apathetic citizens who will not vote at all. What's worse? We need to inform and educate citizens, before they vote. I have always voted, and I will not go w/out voting, but I am very in tune with the responsibility, the right and the privilege!!:)I volunteered for the local GOP, when I was in California.
