Hilliary Rodam Clinton

[Easy]

You really should be sitting down when you read this one.

Gold Star Mothers is an organization made up of women whose sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States armed forces.

Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington, DC to discuss various concerns with their elected representatives.

According to published reports, there was only one politician who refused to meet with these ladies. Can you guess which politician that might be? Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them. Try again.

Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything but contempt for our military? Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's husband once wrote of his loathing for the military? Now you're getting warm!

You got it! None other than the Queen herself, Hillary Clinton. She refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers. Now, please don't tell me you're surprised. This woman wants to be President of the United States and there is a huge percentage of voters who are eager to help her achieve that goal.

May you sleep in peace always . . . and please . . . hug or thank a Veteran for that privilege.

Don't forget, our girl, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York Senator, now comes under this fancy congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan. It's common knowledge that, in order for her to establish NY State residency, they purchased a million+ dollar house in upscale Chappaqua, NY. Now, they are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.

Here is where it becomes interesting. The mortgage payments hover at about $10,000 per month. BUT an extra residency had to be built within the acreage in order to house the Secret Service agents. The Clinton's now charge the Secret Service $10,000 monthly rent for the use of said Secret Service residence and that rent is just about equal to their mortgage payment. Meaning that we, the tax payers, are paying the Clinton's mortgage, their transportation, their safety and security, their 12 man staff, and it's all perfectly legal.

Sincerely, Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)

I've also read that she is a poor tipper.

Anyone know anything about this?

Though a non-american, I've always looked forward to a Hillary Cliton-presidency someday. With such developments however, I guess the new York senator has a great deal of image-improving/public relations work to do. I still like her though, but the issue of being the president of the world's most powerful nation is left to the American electorate to decide.

This is completely false.
Check Snopes.

The American Gold Star Mothers organization also responded with a stronger refutation of the rumor:

At the time this allegation was made Senator Clinton was not even in her office. These allegations were not initiated by the Gold Star Mothers that Senator Clinton would not see them. This is a fabricated report picked up by an individual using the Gold Star Mothers as an instrument to discredit Senator Clinton.

Four Gold Star Mothers and a Vietnam veteran made an appointment with Senator Clinton at a later date and were very well received. Photographs were made with Senator Clinton and she presented each one with a signed proclamation paying tribute to the American Gold Star Mothers.

We regret any embarrassment this may have caused Senator Clinton and her staff and would like to move beyond this issue and continue the positive volunteer work which we willingly and graciously provide for the veterans and their families and support of other Gold Star Mothers. American Gold Star Mothers are a strong group of women who have sacrificed sons or daughters in conflicts to preserve the freedom that we enjoy. We do not need mischievous gossip and unfounded lies to promote our organization. Please help stop it now.

Snope's response to this fabrication:

As explained on our Landlord of Misrule page, this is hogwash. While it is a standard arrangement that the Secret Service provide payment to homeowners for space used by the agency in such situations, the amount provided is based on a government formula, not a charge set by the homeowner. (In the Clintons' case, this amount is $1,100.) Unlike other previous First Families, the Clintons have not accepted any money from the Secret Service, making this rumor not only baseless but particularly mean-spirited in that it chides the Clintons for something that they're not doing, but directs no criticism at those who are.

If you are gonna bash Hillary, please do it based on truth and for something she deserves to be critiqued for. No one deserves to be hated for lies.

[polycarp]

Thanks for the comforting revelations Beth. i am relieved by those nice write-ups that debunk those lies against my favorite female American politician. That's why I love the Garden, with its dynamic minds that keep track of latest developments in almost every aspect of human endeavor. Nice work Beth.

[BabyRider]

I'm not a Clinton fan, (either one of them) but we can't have flat-out lies being spread around.
I was hoping someone would come along and get the facts. Good job Beth! Thanks!

[Paula]

Please tell me what she is known for? Yes, the Clintons have fans, i am not one of them. I have no understanding of either, what is liked about them? Can some-one please explain? Every vote counts, mine will not be one!

What is so Great about Hill Clinton?

I'm sorry, but your flag is Brazillian. Are you an American living over there?

Personally I think Hillary is brilliant, astute, and a very capable woman. Right now, I am impressed with her track record in New York over children's social programs and some family services.

i'm not clear what difference that makes. her questions are legitimate, regardless of who/what/where is asking.

she is a very intelligent and capable woman. her heart is simply in the wrong place in my opinion. i would not want someone with her credentials running the country. again, just my opinion.
