Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid
An anonymous reader writes In a move that surprised no one, Hillary Clinton has officially announced she is entering the 2016 race for the White House. According to the Times: "Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Sunday that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immediately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee. 'I'm running for president,' she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m. 'Everyday Americans need a champion. And I want to be that champion,' Mrs. Clinton said. 'So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote — because it's your time. And I hope you'll join me on this journey.'"
By all means, you may vote for whomever you choose but please don't lie about it.
Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians who has ever been on the national scene. Her job during her husband's administration was to orchestrate the harassment and character assassination of the women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

unlike most other person running, she isn't overly corrupt and she's not bat shit crazy.
What the fuck? Whitewater? Travelgate? Filegate? Character assassinations during the Lewinsky scandal? (which she said was a just a big right wing conspiracy right up until Bill admitted to it) Benghazi? Doing official government business on a private email server?
And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Much though I enjoy the multi-hundred-comment threads where we all scream at each other about politics, why is this here?
How is this 'news for nerds'? I mean, even the summary has given up on trying to even mention technology/nerdy stuff.
Just realized I have some good tech new for ya instead.
First 4 episodes of Game of Thrones current season (5) have been leaked. You can find them at your favorite torrent sites, or on usenet.
Be seeing you...
Totally Agree here.
You have to be Nuts and Stupid to vote for Hillary in 2016. Especially if you're a democrat voting in a primary.
She is easily one of the most corrupt politicians I've seen in recent memory. Hell, just looking at Wikipedia alone gives me these entries and I've probably missed a couple of them:
Whitewater Controversy
FBI Files Controversy
Travel Office Controversy
Cattle Futures Controversy
Email Server Controversy
The last one is the straw breaker. She knowingly hosted her Email on purpose so that she had full control over what people can see or not see regarding federal government correspondence. Her wiping the box when it was under investigation is no different to what Nixon did with the audio tapes and should disqualify her right there.
There are better presidential candidates out there. Hell, there are better potential democrat candidates out there.

, she isn't overly corrupt and she's not bat shit crazy
really??? not overly corrupt???? have you not been paying attention to the email debacle??? have you not payed attention to the clintons as a whole for the past 20 years???? corrupt is the clinton middle name. as for not crazy, ill agree with you. calculated and cold is more accurate*
being in NY and having met the woman, as well as been a new yorker while senator, I feel that I can say safely that she did NOTHING for NY as senator
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
it suddenly looks smart to keep your email server private from the government.
yes... as a PRIVATE citizen. as a GOVERNMENT official, it screams shady

I agree on VP being a creeper. Hillary destroyed the women who slept with her husband. I am a dem but you must of missed the 90s.

Email Server. Really that's all you need to know. She turned over roughly half the emails, then DELETED the rest. When several of the emails reference second hand that she employed one of the premier private intelligence services in the world none of which is primarily touched upon by the turned over emails, this is a pretty big problem.
That wasn't my point.
I have no love for either. I just objected to the idea that the number of search results has any meaning regarding the truth of a claim.
For example, I'm seeing 43,500,000 search results for "real UFO". Does that mean UFOs are real?
Personally, I would rather not see Hillary Clinton as president.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Please don't vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. We can't continue the oligarchy that is the US government leadership.
Let me break the bad news to you now. Your choices in the presidential vote will be:
1. Hillary Clinton,
2. Jeb Bush,
3. An independent candidate that will not win.
There. Now you can ignore all of the primary drama and spend a long time thinking about who you will vote for. Note that you will be supporting an oligarchy either way!
Look at the bright side! At least Hillary is not actually related by blood to Bill. Unlike George Sr., George Jr. and Jeb!
The first four of those are tired right wing BS - which is ironic, given how Hill is a hard core right winger. There's plenty of legit criticism of her, but it all comes from the left:
Her support for nasty dictatorships a la Mubarak in Egypt
Supporting the coup in Honduras
Supporting the coup in Ukraine
Supporting coup attempts in Venezuela
Writing the TPP
Pushing the Keystone pipeline
Draconian sanctions on Iran for the nuclear weapons program both the CIA and Mossad say Iran doesn't have
