A Letter To Hillary
July 24, 2008
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
United States Senate
476 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington , D.C. 20510
Dear Mrs. Clinton,
I recently read where you have incurred substantial debt with your unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Your plight concerns me and I would like to help as much as I can. I would certainly hate for you to feel pressured, due to the size of your debt, to support a candidate that you do not truly believe is ready to be ‘Commander in Chief on Day One.’
I have always believed that our form of government, while less than perfect, is the best the world has to offer. I’ve also always believed that Congress with 535 elected members has more power to do good for this country than only one person or even nine people. Congress has the power and ability to guide and direct this country like no other group.
I vividly remember in 2006 how the Democrats gained control of both houses of Congress trumpeting “Change” and a better America. Let’s review how that has worked out for us.
* Mortgage companies have declared bankruptcy costing thousands of people their jobs
* Home values have nose-dived
* Millions of Americans have lost their homes
* World oil prices have risen astronomically
* The Democrats continue to block drilling in oil rich reserves to continue and even increase our dependence on foreign oil
* Gasoline prices have increased to over $4 a gallon and there appears to be no end in sight even though Americans have reduced their driving over one billion miles a month.
* The stock market, where most Americans’ retirement hopes are invested, has dropped by more than 15%.
* Food prices are increasing at an alarming rate fueled mostly by rising energy costs
All in all I’d have to say that the Democrats fulfilled their promise and have brought change to our country. It isn’t good change, but it is change. Unfortunately, because of all this change, change is all I have to give you to help you retire your debt.
I am enclosing one penny for you to add to your campaign “war chest.” I think that’s a fair trade. Everything you’ve done for me is worth about a penny and because of the success of the Democrats, that’s all I have. Just so you know that you really aren’t alone in this, I had to borrow the penny from a friend.
I do have one simple request in return. I would really appreciate it if you could teach me how I can get the American people to pay off my debts that I knowingly and willingly incurred. Isn’t this a great country?
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Hillary on Who is Qualified to be Commander in Chief
June 4, 2008
Hillary on the differences of the candidates as a Commander in Chief.
“Obamas experience is a speech he gave 3 years ago”
Americans say Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the presumed Republican presidential nominee, would be a better commander-in-chief than the Democratic candidates: Sens. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) or Barack Obama (Ill.), according to a new poll.
Rules splits the delegates
June 1, 2008
While Bill gives away some of their game plan:
Bill Clinton on Florida and Michigan
Obama is planning a cabinet payoff that this writer thinks Hillary will categorically reject.
Another Democrat who has discussed strategy with friends in the Obama inner circle said that Mr Obama was openly considering asking Mrs Clinton to join his cabinet, alongside two other former presidential rivals: John Edwards, who is seen as a likely attorney general; and Joe Biden, who is a leading contender to become Secretary of State.
And after 20 years of an intimate relationship with his church, Obama has quit. Stating:”This is not a decision I come to lightly … and it is one I make with some sadness…I’m not denouncing the church and I’m not interested in people who want me to denounce the church,”. Thats a long decision making process.
Hillary Gaffes on Kennedy
May 24, 2008
Hillary’s rebuttal:
This is the most important job in the world. It’s the toughest job in the world. You should be willing to campaign for every vote. You should be willing to debate anytime, anywhere. I think it’s an interesting juxtaposition where we find ourselves and you know, I have been willing to do all of that during the entire process and people have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa and I find it
EB: Why? Why?
I don’t know I don’t know I find it curious because it is unprecedented in history. I don’t understand it and between my opponent and his camp and some in the media, there has been this urgency to end this and you know historically that makes no sense, so I find it a bit of a mystery.
EB: You don’t buy the party unity argument?
I don’t, because again, I’ve been around long enough. You know my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere around the middle of June
EB: June
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. Um you know I just I don’t understand it. There’s lots of speculation about why it is.
The NY Daily News said:
SICK. Disgusting. And yet revealing. Hillary Clinton is staying in the race in the event some nut kills Barack Obama…It could happen, but what definitely has happened is that Clinton has killed her own chances of being vice president. She doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher anywhere now.
The Sports Guy:
Hillary Apologizes.
What Happened to Hillary?
May 16, 2008
Over at The New Republic they had many insiders give their opion on Hillary Clinton’s downfall. Some of My favorites:
http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=f7a4a380-c4a4-4f84-b653-f252e8569915
“Running as an incumbent, as the inevitable candidate, was probably our biggest mistake, particularly in a time when the country is really hungry for change.”
“We ran a frontrunner campaign in a party that punishes frontrunners. There was no attention to history: Ed Muskie–knocked off; threat to Mondale; etc. The best thing that could have happened is falling behind in the polls to Obama and then a shake-up ala Gore 2000–maybe even a move out of D.C. like he did it.”

The Difference Between Republicans and Democrats
May 11, 2008
John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barak Obama were walking down a Washington D.C. street when they came upon a homeless person.
The Republican, John McCain, gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.
Hillary was very impressed. When they came upon another homeless person she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into John McCain’s pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.
When they came upon yet another homeless person Barak told the homeless person to ‘have hope…change is coming…’ and gave him nothing.
Now do you understand the difference?
Hillarys Bosnia
April 1, 2008
Hillary lied, er mispoke about her Bosnia experience. Nothing new here.
But apparently the Slate shows how she did have an influence on Bill Clinton’s policy making.
Taking the advice of Al Gore and National Security Advisor Tony Lake, Bill agreed to a proposal to bomb Serbian military positions while helping the Muslims acquire weapons to defend themselves—the fulfillment of a pledge he had made during the 1992 campaign. But instead of pushing European leaders, he directed Secretary of State Warren Christopher merely to consult with them. When they balked at the plan, Bill quickly retreated, creating a “perception of drift.” The key factor in Bill’s policy reversal was Hillary, who was said to have “deep misgivings” and viewed the situation as “a Vietnam that would compromise health-care reform.” The United States took no further action in Bosnia, and the “ethnic cleansing” by the Serbs was to continue for four more years, resulting in the deaths of more than 250,000 people.
Hillary Say it isn’t True
March 27, 2008
When a Clinton can tell a small lie, they tell a whopper, and when they tell a small one, the truth would have been just fine. A laundry list of mistakes?
- Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
- • Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
- • She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
- • She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn’t cover the market back then.)
- She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.
- She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
- Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
- She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
- She didn’t know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
- She opposed NAFTA at the time.
- She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
- She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
- She played a role in the ’90s economic recovery.
- The billing records showed up on their own.
- She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
- She was always a Yankees fan.
- She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
- She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).
- With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?
(thanks to Dick Morris letter for this list)
More McCain 
flipped and script
Obama flips on oil drilling. Will not debate other than the traditional three. Critics cite his fear of being off script. Read More →
