Hillary: Please Send Money

National Review ^ | January 11, 2005 | Byron York

[presidio9]

Amid speculation that she might forgo a run for re-election to the Senate in 2006 in favor of a presidential run in 2008, New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has sent an early fundraising appeal that, while directed toward reelection, reads like a trial run for a White House bid.

"As the Republicans' number one target in 2006, I have to begin now building resources for the tough fight I face in my re-election campaign," Clinton writes in a letter to supporters. She says her task is made more difficult by "the Republican attack machine out to distract me from my work in the Senate with politically-motivated attacks that have no basis in fact."

"They are trying to demonize me with negative attacks," Mrs. Clinton continues. "You have to fight back, and you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

The fundraising appeal stresses national issues, focusing almost exclusively on the economy and health care. Writing of "the negative impact the right-wing Bush agenda is having on America," Mrs. Clinton says, "As I travel around New York and the nation, I meet families who have lost health insurance and don't know what will happen if they face a medical emergency." She describes families who cannot afford a college education for their children or who can't pay for prescription drugs.

"Personal stories like these are a powerful reminder of how much has been lost since the days when President Clinton led our nation," Mrs. Clinton writes.

She also pledges to fight against Republican plans to reform Social Security. Her only substantive mention of national security is a pledge to work, as a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, "to support our troops, and to call for national security policies that will truly keep America safe."

"TOUGH FIGHT????? What the heck is she talking about???? Unless Rudy runs against her she owns this damn city and state!"

Now now, let's not cast dispersions upon a begging woman. "You know", that VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY is still knocking at her door.

[AirForceMom]

If she claims she will be in a tough fight, the DUmmies will empty their pockets faster.

[areafiftyone]

ACKKKK!!! Excuse me while I choke up a hairball!

[rockabyebaby]

"Sorry Hillary............NOT ONE D@MN DIME."

lmao! Good one and right on!!

[AirForceMom]

Let the nitwits send her the pocket change they won't be spending on the 20th.

[Just mythoughts]

LOL

[.cnI redruM]

Just like Barak Obama, her back's against the wall....

[subterfuge]

"Personal stories like these are a powerful reminder of how much has been lost since the days when President Clinton led our nation," Mrs. Clinton writes.

Translation: "Personal stories like these are a powerful reminder of how many people will simply have to have their hard earned money confiscated for the common good, like in communist countries."

[Zacs Mom]

and so it begins...

You know, the more I learn and read about Hillary, it almost ( almost, then I come to ) makes me feel sorry for Bill, which makes me dislike her all the more.

[shiva]

Bill Clinton goes around saying he's rich now....let him pay for it!

[samtheman]

"... a powerful reminder of how much has been lost since the days when President Clinton led our nation," Mrs. Clinton writes

Her campaign slogan can be:

As good as Bill, but without the cigars.

[AirForceMom]

Hillary: Please Send Money..........and morals.

[samtheman]

"You have to fight back, and you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

Grammatical correction:

"You have to fight back; you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

(Doesn't she have a proof-reader?)

[steplock]

I thought hillary was sending out money .... I was just getting ready to write my "grant request".

[presidio9]

"... a powerful reminder of how much has been lost since the days when President Clinton led our nation," Mrs. Clinton writes

Year, think of all that we've lost: A national sense of shame... A recession... Disrespect for the Oval Office... Terrorists walking around with no fear of the US... About 10 percentage points in marginal tax rates...

[chiefqc]

Yea, I'm talking to all you stupid peons.

You don't really think that I'm going to use any of my stolen money do you? Iam you queen, so just shut up and do what I want you to do.

Oh why do I have to be among the peons and stupid people? When I become their god, I'll take all of their money for myself.

[rockabyebaby]

"Let the nitwits send her the pocket change they won't be spending on the 20th'

LOL, excellent idea!

[Pharmboy]

Slight correction, please. It is YOU, Hillary, who demonized you, not us.

[pookie18]

Did David Rosen & Peter Paul receive their copies?

[Tuba Guy]

"money .... money .... MONEY !!!"

[yellowdoghunter]

I can't wait to go up against her in 08. We will once and for all put the final nail in that coffin.

[KarlInOhio]

I might send her a dollar. I figure the expenses tracking it plus sending me more requests for money would cost the campaign far more than that dollar.

Send her a dollar in pennies.... COD and this card.

[AirForceMom]

Interesting idea......maybe I'll send a canadian dollar though.

[Fenris6]

"Personal stories like these are a powerful reminder"

Except that every "personal story" at the last few Dem Conventions has turned out to be fake.

[AirForceMom]

Now that's funny!!! I could dip some pennies in the sewer before sending them off.

[mewzilla]

Talk about pouring money down a 'Rat hole...

[Cicero]

Politicians don't write fund-raising letters, PR experts do. Hillary may have signed off on this one, or she may not even have bothered to look at it. After all, she's too important to deal with small details. Just send her the money.

[presidio9]

Why not a franc?

"They are trying to demonize me with negative attacks," Mrs. Clinton continues. "You have to fight back, and you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

First off, nobody is talking about you...yet.
Second, You do a great job of demonizing yourself every time you open your mouth.
Finally, Be sure you give LONG speeches. Your voice grates on people.

[bmwcyle]

Please send money. It is harder to get my hands on military secrets.

Hillary Clinton

[sr4402]

Please send money. It is harder to get my hands on military secrets.

Here you go Hillary. Here's my two cents, and can I have a receipt for that?

Since you bring it up, a semicolon is the same thing as a comma plus a conjunction. ; = , and ... .

[samtheman]

A semicolon is the same thing? I think not. Look again:

"You have to fight back, and you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

The bwitch is wording this as if "have to fight back" and "can't let attacks go unanswered" are two different things, as in:

You have to do two things:
1. Fight back.
2. Not let attacks go unanswered.

But that is not what the bwitch means. What the bwitch is trying to say, is more like this:

"You have to fight back, which means not letting the attacks go unanswered."

or better stated:

"You have to fight back; you can't sit back and let baseless attacks go unanswered."

The sentence following the semicolon is not a second thing that must be done, it is a further elucidation on the meaning of the phrase "fight back".

Grammatically, there is a big difference between a semicolon and a comma-and construction.

The stupid bwitch can't know that.

You should.
