When Hillary is campaigning, is the representing her constituents interests? |
or her own personal carreer goals? She still gets paid her Sentor's salary,

What is your point? Is she the first Senator to run for President? Are you
just trying to make disparaging remarks and point the finger? Go back to
work, people are waiting for their McGriddles.

Okay, fair enough. Let's assume that you have asked a legitimate question
and you have asked it legitimately.
Here is your answer.
First, some background. I served 28 years in the Army, 1967-1995. I served
in Vietnam, China, South Asia, Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, and various
stateside assignments. Two of my tours were at the Pentagon where I was,
first, deputy director, and, later, director, of an organization in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense that was dealing with a
politically-charged matter. I had a lot of contact with individual members
of Congress, both House and Senate, and with Congressional committees. I
have a number of friends who work for Members of Congress and for
Congressional Committees; when I retired, my local Congressman -- a
long-time family friend -- wanted me to come to work for him handling
military and veterans' affairs but I had had enough of the DC rat-race; I
know something about how Congressional offices function.
Members of Congress -- both House and Senate -- rely on their staffs to
manage day-to-day work, including constituent contact. When you write a
letter to your Representative or Senator, it's highly unlikely that the
Member will even see the letter. Virtually all constituent contact is
handled at the staff level.
For example -- you write/e-mail/fax/snail mail to your Senator or
Representative about a problem with your social security annuity. That
letter/fax/whatever goes to the person on the staff who handles SS
inquiries. That staffer then forwards your inquiry to the SS Administration
Congressional Liaison Office who sends your letter to the appropriate SS
office for a reply. Because the inquiry is coming from Congress, it has a
short deadline -- typically 10-14 days. The reply comes back to the SS
Administration Congressional Liaison Office who gets the reply to the
Congressional staffer who sends a letter back to you. The Member's
signature is affixed to the letter by the "iron hand" -- an automatic
letter-signing machine that signs as many as 20 letters at a time -- you
receive a letter "signed" by your Congressman or Senator telling you that
he/she has fixed your problem -- you're happy -- but the Member never even
saw your letter -- the staff did all the work.
Members of Congress typically have two staffs:
-- a legislative staff that works on constituent and legislative matters,
and,
-- a political staff that manages the Member's campaign, donations, and
other political matters.
So -- to answer your question: While a Member of Congress is on the
campaign trail, constituent matters will be handled the same as they always
are, the same way every Member handles them -- through the Member's staff.
And it's not just Congress who works this way. When you send an e-mail to
Microsoft complaining about your Windows XP OS, don't think for a minute
that Bill Gates sees your e-mail. Some wage slave in a cubicle somewhere
gets your e-mail and answers it -- Bill Gates never hears about it. Ditto
for your car, your refrigerator, your local sheriff, your state governor --
the staff handles it unless it's something that's about to explode and get
***** all over the boss, then the boss may get involved.
You are welcome; there's no charge for the answer.

Okay, let's assume you've posted a legitimate, although
possibly naive answer, and posted it legitimately.
Now then, was Hillary representing her constituents when she
got a Hassidic community in New York to vote for her by getting her
husband to pardon the three members of it who'd been convicted of
drug-dealing? That community had voted 98% Republican for almost as
long as it had existed, yet for Hillary they voted about 99% Hillary.
Did the three members of the community just happen to be pardoned by
Bill, or do you think a deal was made?
If a deal was made, does that make her as illegitimate in her
position as you rightly said Bush was in 2000? I don't personally
believe the '04 election was "stolen", but I do believe the 2000 one
was, so what's your take on this?
Was she representing her constituents when she voted (along
with about half the Dems) to send troops to Iraq? She did vote for the
war you and many others here on the newsgroup say you're against, you
know. Just thought I'd remind you.
Now, putting aside conspiracy theories about the death of
Vince Foster, it's nevertheless true that the FBI had been in his
office, but allowed people they described as "Hillary's people" into
that office. Somehow, although they'd already been through his
briefcase, they managed to miss a "suicide note". It's worth
mentioning that they found this very suspicious, lest anyone accuse
them of having been part of the coverup. Joe, do you believe that
trained and experienced FBI personnel missed a suicide note that was
torn up into about 20 pieces and in his briefcase, or do you think
maybe someone ... say, "one of Hillary's people" must have put it
there?
By the way, how is it that you manage to get all supportive of
someone who stole a senate seat and voted FOR the Iraq war?

We finally get someone with real experience who defines the process and you
call them naive.
You have a very high but undeserved opinion of yourself.
And, incidentally, Vince Foster's suicide was investigated multiple times
(including Ken Starr) and the same conclusion was drawn, so nice try on
propagandizing THAT, but you lose.

In 2005, David Geffen told a crowd in New York that he wouldn't support
Hillary Clinton if she decided to run for president. "She can't win and
she's an incredibly polarizing figure, and ambition is just not a good
enough reason.

Don't expect an answer from "ned j." He's either:
1. A troll with no interest in an answer -- just trying to stir up *****. -
OR --
2. A 6th grader trying to get an answer for his civics class but now he's

3. A 45-year-old nerd living in his mother's basement with nothing better

Looks as though you got your answer -- she's representing her
constituents' interests as well as any other member of Congress who is
out campaigning for President.
What's your next stupid question??
Leaders lead - they don't look to their peers and ask "what's the most I can
get away with".
Now 5 responses and no answer. Is it really so difficult to answer without
going off in 50 different directions? This question involves only one
person, and one question. Is Hillary Clinton representing her constituents
by spending most of two years campaigning for president?

It is a rhetorical question, *****. If you weren't such a dipshit, you
would have been able to extrapolate an answer from those posts. You don't
want an answer, you just want to imply that she is not doing her job. Guess
what, the people of New York re-elected her convincingly, so I guess they
like her.

The answer you're waiting for is, there have been plenty of presidential
candidates that were senators. If you think Hillary is dodging her
duties by running for President, then the same has to be true for all
senators that did the same, on both sides of the aisle.
Since she only just announced, it remains to be seen how well she'll
balance her senatorial duties with campaigning.
Satisfied Ned?

Why don't you ask the same question of:
Senator Sam Brownback
Representative Duncan Hunter
Senator John McCain
Oh, wait, I understand -- you're one of these rightwing dingbat
assholes
we have to tolerate until 2008 when you all are frog-marched to Gitmo

The answer you're waiting for is, there have been plenty of presidential
candidates that were senators. If you think Hillary is dodging her
duties by running for President, then the same has to be true for all
senators that did the same, on both sides of the aisle.
Since she only just announced, it remains to be seen how well she'll
balance her senatorial duties with campaigning.
Satisfied Ned?

It's right.
Hillary never said she wasn't going to run for President the last time
she ran for the senate. And she most certainly was asked. The state of
New York re-elected her, so clearly they don't have a problem with it.
She has as much right to be a senator and presidential candidate as
anyone else that has done the same.

Many more replies and the question goes unanswered. One simple question:
Is Hillary representing her constituents when she campaigns for president
over these two years. Yes or no. If she is, say yes. If not, say no.
Simple.
So far not one yes or one no.
A "maybe" or a qualified "probably" does not count.

She's hardly the first senator to run for President.
Did you have similar concerns when Republican Senator Robert Dole ran
against President Clinton in 1996?
Didn't think so, Ned.

Is your concern universal? Are you older than twelve?
Do your parents know you talk to adults in newsgroups?
