Sounds like Bill Clinton speaking!

Actually, in my head it sounded more like JFK.

I thought she had said she was getting out of politics anyway several months ago. I assumed then it meant after the election. As for what goes on behind the scenes I don't think anybody could tell the whole story of any issue except maybe the head of the CIA. I am not a big conspiracy guy but I do read what they say. It does make sense that big business and politics is a lot like a legal mafia. A few guys in control of the whole world is hard to fathom but influence it yes. I find stories like this interesting but I don't let them side track me from the reality of it all. I live by this motto my dad had, " Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see." It keeps me in the middle of the road watching both sides. My conclusion is that we need to concentrate on the basics as far as what is wrong in this world. The fact that we can't figure out the truth and don't know who to trust is the problem. Not who did what, where, when why, who says. Keeps everyone from looking at where we are going and how to get there. Instead we argue about insignificant facts and raw data. Rant rant rant ? Do I have to get on a soap box and lead this world to utopia or should I just shut up and sharpen razors.

Gentlemen, as a conservative I have no love lost for the Clinton's political stance, but as a Moderator on SRP I think if this discussion is going to continue we need to keep it respectful..
So let's refrain for name calling here please..

Thanks for understanding

Yes please. Whether someone is in the same political sector as you or not, we're all human beings worthy of being respected as human beings.

Or as we'd say in Texas, "She's havin' a hard time right now. Bless her heart."

I'm no fan of HC. That having been said, she's a probably a whole lot smarter than most people I've ever met or even heard of. Her intelligence is not in question, rather it's her agenda.

I don't know how things work in the US, but I'd have thought contingencies for the death of the Secretary of State (regardless of who the actual incumbent is) would be considered prudent practice from a Government. Of course you'd need to weigh up the probability that such a scenario would ever arise, but I would say there are such plans in place for all major positions in Govt.

Personally I have a lot of admiration for Hilary Clinton. When you consider her achievements and remove the politics from the equation, I feel she is a person worthy of much respect.

Flash back: I once interviewed an individual that had previously work for the CIA.
The added Official statement on his résumé stated that while his previous employer neither confirmed or denied that statements in the document, they did give him permission to provide it!!
Impressive.

Doublespeak.
