This website was created
on November 3, 2004, the day after George W. Bush was re-elected,
the same day that the buzz began that Hillary R. Clinton
would be the Democratic choice in 2008. (Update: We are contemplating changing this headline as it seems now Hillary is not the #1 choice for the Democrats in 2008. We are also often asked if we work for the Obama campaign and we can assure you we do not. This organization was founded LONG before anyone even knew who Obama was.)
"The poll by the Rasmussen Institute predicted Obama would get 32 percent of the vote in February's primary, compared to 30 percent for Clinton, who until now has been the consistent favorite..."
“Bernstein reaches conclusions that stand in opposition to what Senator Clinton has said in the past and has written in the past,” ...
" The book could revive the explosive charge, made earlier this year by David Geffen, a former Clinton donor and Hollywood mogul, that “the Clintons lie with such ease, it’s troubling”."
"But observers have long noted her tendency to speak Southern primarily in front of black audiences, as she did with Sharpton last week and at a civil rights commemoration in Selma in March."
"Who Won SC Democratic Presidential Debate?
U.S. Senator Barack Obama emerged a clear winner in tonight's debate among 8 Democratic candidates for President of the United States, according to a SurveyUSA poll of 403 South Carolina debate watchers."
We love some of the comments readers left on their site:
"she's such a con artist." Posted by: joe
"It's disrespectful for whites to pander to non-whites in this way. It's nice that Hillary says she's happy to have collards and cornbread but it's not enough. A rich white woman will NEVER connect with a black woman who ate collards and cornbread the first ten years of her life. My dad didn't have running water or electricity until he was in high-school - did Hillary think about this when she was at Wellesley (the most snooty hoity-toity women's college in Boston)?
Come on, Hillary. Quit faking it! Tell us what you're going to DO for all of us, don't tell us what you HAVE done." Posted by: Jay-B
"Anybody can see that she is plainly trying to reconcile the vote of the African-American populus. I can't believe that such a politically savvy "Clinton" would actually be this transparent." Posted by: Jake
Only four months ago, the vast majority of prominent black elected officials in New York were expected to support the presidential candidacy of their state's favorite daughter, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
But no longer, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Tuesday Page Ones.
In a series of interviews with the paper's Ray Hernandez, a significant number of those officials said they were now undecided about whether to back Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"The officials described themselves as impressed with the strength of Obama's campaign in recent weeks, saying it reflected a grass-roots enthusiasm for Obama that they noticed among black voters in their own districts."
Clinton skips meeting on Monday, April 16 because Virginia Tech story would have trumped her visiting the Rutgers Team and with no photo op, why would she do anything? ... so Rutgers Team skips Clinton Meeting later in the week
We have learned that the girl in the video below is only 14 years old.
Aren't you glad these people make money off of acts like this so they can send their money to Hillary Clinton?
This week, video from a concert of the rap singer Akon appeared on YouTube (video below, GRAPHIC CONTENT)
You will find that Akon also works with Timbaland, they even produced Akon's debut album, Trouble. See Wikipedia reference here.
Does this not bother anyone else that Hillary is accepting money from Timbaland who produces albums for singers who do what you are about to see in the video below? You decide. We think it is sick.
The video was removed from YouTube, but it can be seen here.
"In the latest poll, conducted April 13-15, 2007, more Americans say they have an unfavorable (52%) than a favorable view (45%) of Clinton. As recently as February, her favorable rating was 58%."
"As Hillary Clinton decides that she will run for US President, perhaps she will reflect on her own vaccine record in the United States. Is it true, as some contend, that her Vaccines for Children program is responsible for poisoning (from high levels of thimerosal) an entire generation of US children?"
"A woman who had traveled from New York asked Sen. Clinton if she had read the report given to her in 2002 on intelligence and the Iraq war.
Clinton said she had been briefed on the report, and the woman screamed back, "Did you read it?!" Notably uncomfortable, the Senator repeated that she had been briefed."
"Meanwhile the boys at Duke have had their lives actually ruined and she ignores them. Misplaced scale of injury and priorities in Mrs. Clintons case." Tyee
"Great, 18 more months of this shiat." garygnu

From Clinton's Own Website:
"Hillary has spoken out about radio host Don Imus: "I've never wanted to go on his show and I certainly don't ever intend to go on his show, and I felt that way before his latest outrageous, hateful, hurtful comments."
"While she narrowly edged out the new kid on the political block in the total amount raised, Obama outscored Hillary 2 to 1 where it really counts: the number of individual donors."
"...Fox, which could presumably do an empty podium hour and confirm to its viewers that Democrats are, in fact, the cowards it's often portrayed them as. Sounds win-win to me."

We waited until today to comment on Hillary's fundraising numbers. The media had a field day with it the last few days, trying to make it sound like Hillary is the sure thing, that no one can raise as much money as her.
"DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama raked in $25 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of 2007, placing him on a par with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and dashing her image as the party's inevitable nominee...
...Clinton, who'd hoped her own $26 million first quarter fundraising total would begin to squeeze her rivals out of contention..."
"The real bad news for her campaign is that Hillary is losing support — not due to any attacks on her, but because people are watching her wage her positive campaign, and are concluding that they just don't like her."
"The only thing that can stop Hillary becoming the next president would be smears and dirty tricks," said Geraldine Ferraro, the Democrats' losing 1984 vice-presidential candidate. "I've told her I'll go anywhere and speak any time to make sure that doesn't happen."
Yet the article then says:
Her expectations of a dirty fight are mirrored in the camps of Sen Clinton's opponents. They say that the New York senator's own "war room" staff have already collected extensive background files on her rivals, ready to go "negative" as the battle for 2008 heats up.
She also says:
Miss Ferraro, however, insisted that she believed the former president's philandering ways were behind him. "He is as keen for her win this as she is," she said. "He's not going to do anything that might endanger her campaign."
“I just find the squeeze, this early, to be quite vulgar,” Mr. Neal added. “This idea that you should try to K.O. other candidates by simply overwhelming them with the amount of money you have in the bank. It’s a bullying tactic.”
God forbid Hillary that the private sector do anything... we should be completely dependent on the governement, right? Since that is the path to socialism all all.
She also criticizes No Child Left Behind (though she voted for it)...
She says it doesn't work. Yet, it worked here.
"Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton, while 45 percent of women said that she would not be their pick. In addition, 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton.
Nearly half of the respondents said that they dislike Clinton’s political opinions and Clinton as a person. Fifty-two percent of people also said that “she does not appear to connect with people on a personal level.""
Seriously, do you really want the government in your doctor's office? Can you name one government run agency that runs efficiently? Does this country really want to go towards Socialism?

From Newsmax.com: Did Clinton Aide Tutor Valerie Plame?
Two days before outed CIA agent Valerie Plame testified before Congress, she and husband Joseph Wilson had dinner with Hillary Clinton — and an intriguing fourth party.
Joining the three was Sidney Blumenthal, a journalist who served as a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton for 3 1/2 years.
“Do you think they might have worked on talking points for Valerie’s congressional testimony?” wondered journalist Eileen McGann, co-author with Dick Morris of several books about the Clintons.
“Remember: Sidney was advising Hillary about how to spin the Lewinsky story. He’s the one who put out Hillary’s comments that Bill was just helping a troubled young girl.
“Sidney’s been awfully quiet lately, but maybe he’s been helping out the Wilsons — and thereby Mrs. Clinton too.”
McGann pointed to a passage in Hillary’s book “Living History,” about the morning Bill told her about news reports that he’d had an affair with a White House intern: "Bill woke me up early. He sat on the edge of the bed and said, ‘There’s something in today’s paper that you need to know about.’”
McGann compared that to comments Plame made before Congress about how she found out that columnist Robert Novak had revealed her identity as a CIA operative: “I found out very early in the morning when my husband came in and dropped the newspaper on the bed and said, ‘He [Novak] did it.’ And I quickly turned and read the article and I felt like I had been hit in the gut.”
03/25/2007 Hillary's Evolving Position on the War in Iraq
Sean Hannity breaks down what Senator Clinton said at the outset of the War, and what she says now.
Surfing the wave of public opinion is a favorite past time of leaders on both sides of the aisle.
Flip-Flops are optional.
"Now Stern has fired back in a lawsuit filed Thursday against Burkle, the Post's archrival Daily News - even former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom Stern accuses of attacking him in an effort to suppress negative stories about themselves."
"...16 months after the library began accepting applications for material, no major requests for sensitive documents related to Hillary Clinton’s years as first lady have been honored, a Newsday investigation found."
"Clinton and Obama supporters, speaking on condition of anonymity, said both might have been trying to avoid offending socially conservative Democrats, particularly churchgoing African-Americans, who share Pace's views."

A President Can Fire Any Federal Attorney He or She Wants!Bill Clinton Fired All 93 When He Took Over

From The First Post: Bill and Belinda’s excellent adventure
But Clinton’s new, er, friendship isn’t helping his wife’s presidential aims, writes Eric Reguly
"RNC spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt responded that Democrats "might be disappointed to learn that almost a decade later, the senator's playbook consists of little more than a resurrection of Clinton-era talking points."
"When pressed about her qualifications for the presidency, Sen. Hillary Clinton falls back on her husband's domestic-policy record - claiming credit for the good economy, welfare reform and the balanced budget.
It's a very fine record, indeed - but it's Bill's, not Hillary's."
"Many authors on the long shelf of unsympathetic Clinton biographies have envisioned the thesis as evidence of Marxist or socialist views held by young Hillary — or conversely as proof of her political agnosticism, a lack of any ideology besides a brutal willingness to attack opponents and accumulate power in the Alinsky style."
"For sure, the '90s were good years for America, and Bill Clinton can share in some of the credit. But a large amount of the credit is due to Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America Republicans who stormed Capitol Hill in 1994 and overthrew decades of Democratic waste and runaway spending."
"We at the StopHillaryPAC want to do the same thing to Hillary: take her record - ever since she became a radical, America-hating lawyer at Yale Law School in the 1970s all the way through her years in Arkansas and the White House and now as a Senator - and use it against her.”
"Democratic presidential candidate
Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday denied that her campaign traded money for an endorsement from one of South Carolina's most influential black politicians...
Soon after the endorsement, Jackson acknowledged that his media consulting firm had negotiated a $10,000 per month contract with Clinton's campaign."
Supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) are truly worried about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). He is showing signs of being a genuine phenomenon who could sweep through the primaries and take the Democratic nomination. The question for Clinton strategists: Should they attack Obama?

From NYTimes.com: Clinton Reminds New Hampshire, I’m With Bill
"Yet Mr. Clinton is also a potential liability because of the questions he provokes, as both a polarizing former president who could return to the White House and as a husband whose behavior in the Monica Lewinsky affair lingers in the some minds."
"The unspoken contast was between Clinton's presumed ambition, and perhaps her generation's self-involvement; and Obama's attempt to transform his own campaign for president into a broader movement."
I can not believe Hillary Clinton can say these things with a straight face. Does she really believe that people are going believe her flip flops on these issues? How can she say that her vote was “misused” when after 9/11 she was solid supporter of the presidents policies. Time and time she made statements supporting her vote to go to war and now claims she didnt. Everyone goes on and on about “bush lied” well it is clearly on the record that hillary is lying now about her vote on the war. Why isnt everyone holding her accountable for this flip flop????

With all the ugly rethoric mudding up the political wrangling, I want to put out a position, clearly and without rancor. Regretfully, I do not trust Hillary Clinton. She has changed her persona so many times, has a checkered past in the White House already (the socialized health care program) and is just too “slick” and strident for my taste. this can apply to other candidates, as well; they will get the same scrutiny.

Clintonistas Abandoning Hillary
A number of Clinton administration officials have shunned Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency and are instead working with her rivals for the Democratic nomination in 2008.
Among the highest-ranking defectors, former Commerce Secretary William Daley is backing Sen. Barack Obama; top Clinton political aide Douglas Sosnik is advising Sen. Christopher Dodd; and Al Gore’s former Chief of Staff Ronald Klain is in the camp of Sen. Joe Biden, The New York Sun reports.
Former White House counsel Abner Mikva is also backing Obama.
“I knew Obama before I went to the White House,” Mikva told the Sun. “I have a high regard for Hillary. I think Barack will be a better candidate and has a better chance of winning.”
Other former Clinton administration officials in the Obama camp include Michael Froman, a former Treasury Department official; White House congressional liaison Broderick Johnson; former Treasury aide Karen Kornbluh; ex-White House health policy aide Devorah Adler; Anthony Lake, who was a national security adviser to President Clinton; and Susan Rice, a former White House adviser on Africa policy.
Ex-Clinton administration figures who are working for John Edwards’ presidential campaign include Clinton speechwriter Jonathan Prince, White House spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri, and National Security Council staffer Miles Lackey.
Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack also has some former Clinton talent on his staff.
Hillary spokesman Howard Wolfson downplayed the loss of former Clinton loyalists, telling the Sun: “We are very pleased with the overwhelming support and encouragement Sen. Clinton has gotten from administration alums.”
Asked about the defectors, Wolfson said: “All good folks and we wish them well.”
02/04/2007 Nader leaves '08 door open, slams Hillary Clinton
"I don't think she has the fortitude. Actually she's really a panderer and a flatterer. As she goes around the country, you'll see more of that," Nader said.
02/02/2007 Hillary on Iraq: 'I Would Not Have Started This War'
"The New York senator drew a few anti-war hecklers who shouted out during her speech, the last in a series from White House hopefuls to speak to Friday's meeting of the Democratic National Committee. The peace activists have dogged Clinton over her vote to authorize force in 2002."
02/02/2007 Romney Says Sen. Clinton 'Timid' on Iran "Romney lashed out at Clinton for telling a pro-Israel dinner that a dialogue with countries hostile to Israel - including Iran and Syria - is needed to promote peace in the Middle East.
"At this point, We don't need a listening tour about Iran," Romney told the Republican Study Committee."

A PERFECT example of Hillary's Socialist Tendancies:
"The key word is "take". For someone trying to seem moderate, her socialist views keep popping up. With the typical arrogance displayed by all liberals and socialists, Hillary thinks she knows how to invest in energy better than an energy company. If she becomes President with a Democrat controlled Congress, we will be back to the old days of waiting in line for gas."
Another user comments: "Karl Marx couldn't have said it better."
02/02/2007 Hillary Seeking Bush Money, Times 10
"...Hillary Clinton isn't the first female presidential candidate - that honor goes to Victoria Woodhull who, in 1872, was the first female nominated as a presidential candidate on the Equal Rights Party ticket... "
"Biden says Clinton's policy on Iraq would result in “nothing but disaster,” and he goes on to question the former first lady's electability."
“Everyone in the world knows her,” Biden tells the Observer. “Her husband has used every single legitimate tool in his behalf to lock people in, shut people down. Legitimate. And she can’t break out of 30 percent for a choice for Democrats?"
As marriage is defined in America as Becoming One, and as the laws are written most of the time
a spouse is responsible for the other,and Marriage is a team: THEN HILLARY has already been in a 50-50 partnership in the Presidential affairs of the White House. Many decisions were already made by the Bill and Hillary Clinton TEAM. Hillary already ordered the White House china.
She already had the carpets changed. She already had ordered new furniture and equipment for the White House.
Hillary has already influenced 8 years of White House decisions and therefore as a 50% part of the Clinton Presidential Team, she should not be allowed to run.
If Hillary runs, and wins, Bill will be back as 50% partnership in the Clinton Presidency
and Bill will be back influencing White House and American affairs.
Has this really been explored?
Either a married couple are ONE ................ or not !
"You would have thought after Kerry the Democrats would have learned not to run unlikable candidates."
"I would accept a female president but one that earned her own creds. Having slept with a previous prez (or even having given the appearance of) does not qualify one for such an office, even the office she has now. She is no more a leader than O'Reilly is a journalist or Oprah is a therapist. She is a "public personality" and nothing more, but there are too many Jerry Springerite mental couch potatoes in this country that would put such a person in charge."
"She's only running to make history. Fark her. She wants to win so she can be remembered as the first female president, not because she thinks she can do the best job.
It doesn't matter anyways, Obama will get the nomination. And although he would also be a first, that's not why he's running."
"I know a lot of American women would really like to see a woman in the white house, but seriously ladies you can find someone better than Hillary."
"Pollsters said her weaknesses in Iowa and New Hampshire were the result of the growing popularity of two major opponents -- former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama -- and their populist economic messages, as well as a deepening antipathy toward her among Democratic-leaning independents who dislike her support for the war in Iraq and who question her electability.
"I think Hillary strikes these voters the same way Senator John Kerry did in 2004. They would really like to vote for someone they really like this time. Hillary doesn't fit that characterization right now," said pollster Del Ali of Research 2000, who conducted polls in both Iowa and New Hampshire."
