ONE FOR THE MONEY, TWO FOR THE SHOW ("Hillary, all Americans aren't as stupid as you think")

NY POST ^ | March 9, 2006 | EDITORIALS

Bill Clinton, the guy who told us that he never cared about money, is getting paid $300,000 a speech by a country that his wife claims threatens our security (" 'Clinton vs. Clinton' Inc.," Editorial, March 4). With all that's at stake with the Dubai Ports World deal, isn't it time someone told these two narcissists that there are more important matters than their personal ambition? Their latest attempt at playing both sides of the fence is another reason no one should trust them with another term in the White House. Gary Mottola Brooklyn

****....Once again, Hillary is using terrorism as a political tool - this time, feigning toughness on terror for political gain.....There is no room for politics in this fight. Joseph Connor Jersey City, N.J.

**** Hillary says she didn't know Bill was dealing with Dubai concerning the ports deal. Yeah, right: Any wife would know if her husband got paid over $1.6 million from anyone. Hillary, all Americans aren't as stupid as you think. Kevin Snyderllentown, Pa.

**** Nothing so clearly illustrates the intersection of money and politics than the "have it both ways" approach taken by the Clintons. Sen. Clinton was quick to burnish her national-security credentials and enhance her presidential-contender status by....taking potshots at President Bush. Nobody understands politics better than the Clintons, nor does anyone so carefully orchestrate their moves to bring money and power to themselves...........Dick Laresch Jersey City, N.J.

Amen.

"Hillary, all Americans aren't as stupid as you think")

Maybe not, but there's plenty of New Yorkers who will vote for her.

When a reporter asks a democrat candidate why they are against the Dubai deal when Bill Clinton is getting paid by them to speak at events and is for it they can always respond "I'm not Bill Clinton and he won't be part of my decision making when I am President. He can do as he pleases but I will be making the decisions in the White House."

Hillary will have no such luxury.

Just watch Sean Hannity's show when he interviews people on the street and college students don't know the VP.

[Just mythoughts]

Oh Liz, I am seeing the height of stupidity, here we have a former liberal president, who governed terrorism as a legal issue (so that means Hillry was in agreement) acting as a foreign agent in setting up this deal. Meanwhile his benefactor of the profit, his first senator wife squeals like a stuck pig that President Bush sold our port security to terrorists.

What do Republicans do??? They fall for the bait and switch and USE a spending bill for our military to end the deal without ever checking into who the dealers are.

Now if Hillry can accuse President Bush of selling our port security to a terrorist nation, what exactly does that make her and her hubby?

....but barely a trickle of Hil-cash is coming from the reddest of heartland states......


According to a review of federal records by PoliticalMoneyLine, a fund-raising watchdog group., she's gobbled up $5.6 million from 6,400 New Yorkers - tops on her list - and $1.5 million from 1,600 LaLa Land Californians, second best, since the start of 2005.

38 donors from Puerto Rico gave her $71K - four times more than her home state of Arkansas.

She will target her most loyal and generous base----convicted and indicted criminals----who are looking for pardons from a Prez Hillary.


Prez Billy's last-minute pardoning of some 200 criminals is going to pay off bigtime-----including Puerto Rican FALN terrorists and drug dealers, besides the four New Square Hasidics who ripped off $25M from the federal gov't who then went on to vote her into the Senate.

Nice, very nice, take. Good fodder for 2008 candidates.

[Shady]

These two really are examples of the worst of Modern America.

....but barely a trickle of Hil-cash is coming from the reddest of heartland states......

True, but the first line of defense is the NY Senate seat. If more New Yorkers felt like this (writers to NYT editors, not just writers to the Post), then she wouldn't be elected Senator. Then, she's less likely to succeed nationally (he said, crossing his fingers...)

The way the beast and the bent one are vacuuming (extorting) money from the known world, are race baiting, poverty pimps like Al and Jesse being affected?

[Liz]

Hope so......

[generally]

My question is : How stupid does she think? A lot of her thinking seems pretty stupid to me.
