Warwick's Democratic City Committee announced today that it has endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, trumpeting in a news release "her ability to bring real solutions to the problems facing America’s middle class families and to provide universal healthcare." Nancy Mayor, the committee chairwoman, said in the statement that Clinton's plans for the middle class of "lowering taxes, providing quality health care to every American and making college accessible to all students" are important for the community. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

We are all witnesses to candidates’ scandalous attacks on each other. But Hillary’s insinuations about people that have a dream are not surprising, after she lost her dreams following the scandals and lies of her husband. The fish starts to stink from the head. Look at the current state of the nation. It doesn’t need more hardened politicians and liars, nor trigger happy faces looking for more guns. We hope Obama continues to dream and talk more folks off other candidates’ drum wagons. We all need to have a dream.

Keep up the good work. Hillary is head, shoulders and brains above the rest. We need her!
Does female Hillary bashing add up to petty jealousies? How sad if it does.

Les if your angry about Hillary making a joke about the reality it will take to get things done in Washington, then you should be furious over the vicious and most disgusting smear tactics obama has used, and vote for Hillary!

How Barack Obama played the race card and blamed Hillary Clinton.
Post Date Wednesday, February 27, 2008
"After several weeks of swooning, news reports are finally being filed about the gap between Senator Barack Obama's promises of a pure, soul-cleansing "new" politics and the calculated, deeply dishonest conduct of his actually-existing campaign. But it remains to be seen whether the latest ploy by the Obama camp--over allegations about the circulation of a photograph of Obama in ceremonial Somali dress--will be exposed by the press as the manipulative illusion that it is."
"While promoting Obama as a "post-racial" figure, his campaign has purposefully polluted the contest with a new strain of what historically has been the most toxic poison in American politics."
". A review of what actually happened shows that the charges that the Clintons played the "race card" were not simply false; they were deliberately manufactured by the Obama camp and trumpeted by a credulous and/or compliant press corps in order to strip away her once formidable majority among black voters and to outrage affluent, college-educated white liberals as well as college students"
"Above all, it is a commentary on the cutthroat, fraudulent politics that lie at the foundation of Obama's supposedly uplifting campaign."

' Multi-Million Dollar

Conflict-of-Interest
By Tom Fitton

In the most recent Democratic presidential debate in
South Carolina
, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama threw off their gloves and attacked each
other for their suspicious and scandalous ties. And you know what?
They were both right!
Here’s
a story this week that makes my point with respect to Hillary:
According
to the Wall Street Journal:
“Former President Clinton stands to reap around $20 million -- and will sever
a politically sensitive partnership tie to Dubai -- by ending his high-profile
business relationship with the investment firm of billionaire friend Ron Burkle.
Mr. Clinton is negotiating to end his relationship with Mr. Burkle's Yucaipa
Cos. as part of a broader effort to protect the presidential campaign of his
wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, from potential conflicts of interest.”
It’s
a little late to worry about conflicts of interest, don’t you think?
Hillary
has served in the Senate during Bill Clinton’s tenure with Yucaipa, which
began in 2002, all the while in a position to vote on issues that could impact
Burkle’s (and, through Bill, Hillary’s) empire. Bill Clinton voiced no
concern about a potential conflict of interest when he was handed a large stake
in
Yucaipa
with no risk and very little work required. Now he can just collect the
checks.
Moreover,
this $20 million payoff does nothing to eliminate the conflict of interest.
In fact, it makes it worse. Presumably, since Hillary Clinton shares a
bank account with former President Clinton, they can use the money to fund her
candidacy for president, if she so chooses. Overall, Burkle has
contributed large amounts of cash to the
Clintons
’ campaigns, their legal defense fund, and to the Clinton Presidential Library
in
Little Rock
,
Arkansas
. The question is, and has always been, what will Ron Burkle get in return
for his generosity to the
Clintons
? Especially if Hillary wins the presidency.
Now
Obama, for his part, was slammed for ties to indicted political fundraiser
Antoin “Tony” Rezko, or as Hillary called him, “a slumlord.”
(By
So thethe way, a photo surfaced recently that suggests Hillary may have her own Rezko
scandal to worry about. Check it out here.) http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm
Clintons
reap millions as a result of partnering with a foreign government These
are troubling times for those of us concerned about pubic corruption.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found
on the website of the Library of Congress (www.thomas.loc.gov), but to save you
trouble, I'll post them here for you.
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of
Clinton
's bills are, more substantive. 16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to
victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.
There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate Record.
Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize.
During
the first (8) eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He
introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
Obama, first year in the
U.S.
Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included
**the Coburn-Obama
Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee), and many more.
In all since enter the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to the spin masters and mindless twits.
