Great post by Taylor Marsh for Hillary fans
http://www.taylormarsh.com/


Clinton will appear on "The Daily Show" Monday.
It will be Howard Wolfson v. David Axelrod on "This Week."
I get a lot of terrific emails. This is from one of them I received today. It is entitled "100 Reasons to Support Hillary." It is written by a woman who is currently working hard to put Texas in Hillary's column, forwarded to me by her friend, also in the fight to nominate Clinton, and a woman I've been in contact with during the primary season. It is a tribute to the first viable female candidate in U.S. history; someone who has what it takes to change the world by leading this nation in a way we've never seen before. I thought you'd like to read it, so here it is verbatim, without any edits, changes or additions:

Reason #1 to support Hillary:
In Arkansas she was instrumental in straightening out their school system - taking it from one of the worst systems to a role model used by other troubled schools on how to improve public education.

Reason #2 to support Hillary:
In 2006, she led the fight to kill the anti-gay Republican constitutional amendment that for the first time would have added laws to the Constitution that would INCREASE discrimination.

Reason #3 to support Hillary:
After being pummeled by the public for trying to pass Universal Health care while she was First Lady, she dusted herself off and in 1997, led a federal effort that provided insurance support for children whose parents were unable to provide them with health coverage.

Reason #4 to Support Hillary:
She was able to secure a raise in research funding for prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the National Institutes of Health.

Reason #5 to Support Hillary:
She initiated the Adoption and Safe Families Act.

3. Thanks for the post! I heard these points from
Bill Clinton on CSPAN a few weeks ago, and it was a very "inspirational" moment! I am inspired by "deeds" not just words and "substance" not just style......

4. Hillary got "pummeled" for Health Care because she and the incompetent Clinton crony, Ira Magaziner
gave every other person who had been working on Health Care before they even got started, the middle finger.

9. It would be great if it were true
Arkansas schools are consistently in ranked in the mid-thirties, by pay, class size, achievement, any ranking available.

Hillary Clinton's SC State Co-chairs voted to put discrimination into the SC State Constition with a gay marriage amendment.

Ted Kennedy has stated Hillary opposed SCHIP and only helped as it got near to final passage.

Dave Camp, a Republican from Michigan, sponsored the Adoption and Safe Families Act.

I don't care to spend any more of my time disproving what Hillary lies about.
