[Magdalen] Madeline Albright.

way too much on my plate today work-wise and emotional-wise but can't keep 
my self from responding to this:

Hillary is a liar and has been tweaking the truth since Bill was in office. 
Hillary was a unique Secretary of State and had her own agenda of 'global 
women', which also well served the foundation founded by her husband and 
created her own groundwork with this cabinet position to feather her 2016 
campaign nest. This is well documented.  Remember when she lied about 
landing in a foreign country under dangerous circumstances??  We have 
federal laws preventing American companies from paying 'bribes' to foreign 
countries as part of normal business - of course we get around that by 
hiring a third party (whole 'consultant firms' exist based on this premise). 
OTOH... *perhaps* foreign players don't realize that bribes, er, ah, speech 
dollars and/or charity donations are not supposed to come with any strings 
attached either. Right....

Hillary gives speeches where one speech can rival the annual salary of the 
CEO of a mid sized company. Who can say anything worth that much?  It is my 
belief that 'speech honorarium' is the new phrase for bribe.  See who pays 
for the speeches, see how laws are made and bills passed.  Not to mention 
the roster of questionable international hoodlums who have donated millions 
to 'the charity'.  Use bad money to do good? Right...

Why no one has equated the current personal email server situation with the 
disappearing/missing/wet box of important Whitewater papers that contained 
the probable 'missing info' is beyond me.

Instant information seems to have become the latter day equivalent of 
'newspeak' from the book "1984. We are so inundated with information of the 
instant that we fail to remember what has actually happened  in even the 
recent past...  . And... of course many other things pertaining to the 
world, and all political parties here in the US.  (another category - 
evangelical tea-party type Christians appear to  have no clue about the 
religious strife in Europe that led to the colonizing of the English 
Colonies).

And the age issue? Hillary is currently 69, turning 70 in 2017. Regan was 
sworn in at age 69 and shortly thereafter turned 70.

I think that Bernie and Hillary are both too old actually. I still hold out 
hope that someone else may emerge and thrown the convention into chaos : )
