Geeze, we knew he was a walking disaster area in Texas, eviscerating social services for his buddies, corrupt from the get-go. Halliburtion and Kellogg were already screwing things up for years their with their construction projects, but you know, they got first dibs on 'reconstructing' Iraq. Mainly to their own pockets.
From Jeb's coordinated, racist attack on the citizens of Florida, see where Greg Palast detailed it:
http://www.documentary-film.net/search/video-listings.php?e=118
And further proof it was racist:
Voters Barred from Voting. In this category we find a combination of incompetence and trickery that stops voters from pulling the lever in the first place. There’s the purge of "felon" voters that continues to eliminate thousands whose only crime is VWB - Voting While Black. It includes subtle games like eliminating polling stations in selected districts, creating impossible lines. No one can pretend to calculate a hard number for all votes lost this way any more than you can find every bullet fragment in a mutilated body. But it’s a safe bet that the numbers reach into the hundreds of thousands of voters locked out of the voting booth.

And the Brooks Brothers' Riot:

And to Cheney's secret Energy Summit where he and his oil buddies tlikely planned the Iraq War, to Little Boots talking about 'new product lines introduced in September' as a euphemism for the war they had planned:

The remaining media carried one scandal after another daily before September 11th, such as the lethal scandal of their pals at ENRON, a real theft of pensions, jobs and lives of vulnerable people in several states. While they laughed their asses off. Just take a look at:

There are so many other examples of bad actions, but some still voted for this man in 2000 and 2004! They were either clueless then, and likely clueless now, or saw a way to profit like certain individuals did for years.
Yuk it up at the 5:00 mark! Hilarious!
So Frum didn't see a problem?
No, of course not. Nothing about it was illegitmate to him. Up there near the seat of power, working for his GOP masters, Frum saw nothing wrong with the Voting Rights Act being violated openly in 2000 when it was still in force, and likely isn't a 'progressive' in any other matter.
His complaints on Republicans are mild rebukes. As if to say to Hitler:
'Look pal, you're doing it wrong. Make sure no one finds out what you did. That's all you gotta do. Now carry on with the program.'
I used to believe DU wouldn't sink so low as to use GOP and RW sources in an attempt to bury a Democrat, or do opposition research to help Republicans, yet offer nothing in the way of a replacement hitter.
Yet they are, and I believe DU will be RF central through 2016. Or course if one hasn't dealt with real harassment and prejudice and have nothing to lose, those other folks don't mean anything. I've come to believe that.
Really, really? WOW! 
What a great idea! Let republicans pick the Democratic candidate! 
What a f***in joke! So obviously the republicans are panicking over having to face Hillary in 2016 because they know she will win.
So in their great concern to see the democratic party do the right thing they suggest we dump her.
And of course all the Hillary hating Democrats are going to follow right along like good little puppies. 
No, NYC_SKP, I neither like nor cite people who write paeans to George Walker Bush as a credible source:
nor will I rely on his advice when I cast my vote.
Though I do admire your persistence.
DemocratSinceBirth
This one is infinitely better
And it can't be done, the only defense is that Frum in a poopie pants.
That's easy.
Hillary's supporters have a harder time arguing with MotherJones.

Oh, and, David Frum is a real case, but he manages to have a career. Go figure!
So does Newt Gingrich:
And that's supposed to be dispositive of exactly what?
And if they pick Luther, the anger translator, she won't win anything.
Bill+Hillary should probably have chosen one or the other:
A former president with awesome partner and a major Foundation.
Or A former president and wife who is SOS and then runs for president, pass the Foundation over to new management.
But all of these? Jesus, talk about ambitious/greedy.
What. A. Mess.
On the bright side, instead of her winning the primary and then losing to the GOP, a near certainty, contenders are beginning to step up.
It must be so.
People with longer histories on this board know this to be true.
I don't know how I would have voted but I am on the record as saying NYC___SKP is not a right winger...But does anybody see the irony in this:
The person votes to hide a post while decrying censorship.
It only gets worse the more you dig that hole, best let it go and admit it was a bad choice to post something from Frum. 
I'm not a big student on whom is a poopy head, I looked of articles, thought The Atlantic was not going to explode heads but ah well, I'm not so bright.
Please visit this other story, that should be enjoyable but is getting no love.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026572902 Say hello over there and I'll write back!
And, take care!

The Atlantic: The Clash Over Clinton's Cash—And Why it Matters
Call me a concern troll, but this is what we're facing.
-- Appearance of conflict between serving as SOS and running a Foundation that gets donations from sensitive "players" in sensitive nations.
-- Not reporting these as requested by the Potus.
-- And lost or deleted emails that we do or don't know were associated with any of these things.
There doesn't have to have been any actual quid pro quo for it to look really careless at least, and scandalous.
We Democrats really need to think long and hard about whether she can win, and whether or not we're well served ignoring alternative candidates.
I happen to feel that she's not the best choice and, further, I think she'll lose the general election if she wins the primary.
If the whiff of corruption and deceit linger about the Clinton candidacy past election day, is she really the candidate that Democrats want in 2016?
David Frum Apr 25, 2015
Today was the latest installment of the never-ending Clinton scandal saga, but it won’t be the last. Yet in some ways, the specifics are a distraction. The sale of access was designed into the post-2001 Clinton family finances from the start. Probably nobody will ever prove that this quid led to that quo … but there’s about a quarter-billion-dollar of quid heaped in plain sight and an equally impressive pile of quo, and it’s all been visible for years to anyone who cared to notice. As Jonathan Chait, who is no right-wing noise-machine operator, complained: “The Clintons have been disorganized and greedy.”
“All of this amounts to diddly-squat,” pronounced long-time Clinton associate James Carville when news broke that Hillary Clinton had erased huge numbers of emails. That may not be true: If any of the conduct in question proves illegal, destroying relevant records may also have run afoul of the law.
But Carville’s dismissal is right as a matter of politics. Scandals, even quite bad ones, tend not to matter as much as they used to, unless the person at the center is sentenced to prison. The impulse to rally to the team is strong, and this impulse has been used shrewdly by the Clinton family over the course of their long, ethically challenged career. They will try to exploit that impulse again now.
~snip~
It’s not trolling if it’s true, and nothing is more true in presidential politics right now than this: The whiff of corruption and deceit will linger about the Clinton candidacy to voting day—and waft through the corridors of a Clinton presidency even if the greater potential strength of the Democratic presidential coalition overcomes the bad odor around its candidate. Yet politics won’t stop on the first Tuesday of November 2016. The truths exposed about the Clinton candidacy will shape and even define a Clinton presidency. That should matter as much to those who hope for a popular and effective Democratic administration after 2016 as to those who hope to prevent one.
