Tim Kaine Quotes
Hillary Clinton has a long track record of service in public life. And you can look at that. I tell the story about her being first lady of the United States, when the effort to get Hillary Clinton done failed, and that was a tough, tough, bitter loss, but then it tested her as a leader. And she worked together with Democrats and Republicans to get health insurance for eight million low-income American children in the CHIP program.

This is how she began one of her daily columns. She did not grow up in a political world and whenever she made an error or mistake, she simply said so and corrected it. Many politicians—American and Foreign—didn’t know what to make of this. Even today, where politicians exaggerate and are called on their errors rarely admit it. Most feel if they ever admit to being wrong, no one will trust what they day in the future. And that their political enemies will repeat their admission over and over to destroy their image with the public. Actiually that happened to Mrs. Roosevelt and even today opponents and enemies quote her errors which she corrected. However, she was not only one of America’s most popular politicians, but was one of the few that people would trust. Her words were trusted more so than even her husband’s, and he was the most popular President since George Washington.
In 2011 nd 2012 a right wing extremist group—the Tea Party-were able to intimidate the Republican Congressional leadership to take the extreme partisan view that why would allow no significant legislation to pass as it might strengthen Democrat president Obama’s chances of getting reelected. Therefore there was to be no cooperation or even negotiations with the Democrats in Congress. Lugar a highly respected Republican Statesman, and expert on Foreign Affairs, followed his usual pattern of trying to develop legislation that would benefit the country. The Tea Party and some of the more partisan regular republicans then ran a candidate in the state primary election sending huge amounts of money to defeat Lugar who was a sure winner in the general election as he was very popular with all groups in Indiana ecept the right wing extremists, racists and fascists. Lugar never had the chance to win the election. He was defeated in the primary for working with Democrats.
