"Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States, entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons capabilities" -- From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002

 Bill and Hill Bring It On
By Jennifer Rubin The Democratic debate in South Carolina suggests that Barack Obama, if not the most likely nominee for his party, is nevertheless an astute observer of Hillary Clinton’s character and policies. Republicans plotting their general election strategies would do well to keep the debate tape handy and look to Obama for guidance.

By Jennifer Rubin The Democratic debate in South Carolina suggests that Barack Obama, if not the most likely nominee for his party, is nevertheless an astute observer of Hillary Clinton’s character and policies. Republicans plotting their general election strategies would do well to keep the debate tape handy and look to Obama for guidance. First and foremost, he made clear that a vote for Hillary is a vote for both Bill and Hillary and their brand of disingenuous politics. Again and again he reminded viewers, like the song says, that what Hillary and Bill say “ain’t necessarily so.” He did not use the “l” (“liar”) word but he came close and used specific examples including their attacks on his Iraq position and his Illinois state legislative voting record to point out their propensity to twist and distort. He used this argument not only defensively to ward off her attacks but as a weapon to heighten the concern in every voter’s mind: Can I really take eight more years of them? Second, perhaps far more effectively than any of the Republican contenders he explained exactly what is wrong with HillaryCare: the government is coercing you to buy something you may not want. The problem he says is not that people don’t want health insurance; it’s that it is too expensive. Now Republicans may point out that some young, healthy people really don’t want insurance but they can agree with his premise that the government should not bludgeon people into buying what they do not want. Moreover, he pointed out that in Massachusetts mandates of the type Hillary is proposing have proved unsuccessful. Many people would frankly rather pay the fine for not self-insuring than buy the health insurance. Third, by stressing that he was helping inner city youths while Hillary was on the board of WalMart and that he has cast “thousands of votes” as a state and U.S. lawmaker he made a point worth stressing. Hillary has virtually no experience of her own in key matters of public policy. (The fact that Obama has a light resume himself does not help his cause but that is not our concern, for the moment.) Yes, she championed her failed healthcare plan but her accomplishments are negligible and her executive experience utterly absent. Whether the GOP nominee is military veteran and long time senator, a U.S. mayor, or one of the two governors, Hillary’s own credentials will pale in comparison. Although she has used “experience” as a club to beat back Obama, it will be she in a general election who will need to explain why an untested and unaccomplished candidate is ready to govern.
