HILLARY YOU’RE NOT LISTENING; BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.

In a recent fundraising letter for her upcoming senatorial re-election campaign Hillary Clinton claims: "Part of my job is being a good listener...." She goes on to describe all the good listening she does in her job as our United States Senator and then states, "Now I'd like to listen to you." Included with the fundraising appeal is a three-page 2005 Critical National Issues Survey that covers a broad range of political issues---but never ONCE mentions the war in Iraq.


If her voting record on Iraq weren’t bad enough a few days after Representative John Murtha (D-PA) bravely called for the redeployment of troops currently in Iraq, Sen. Clinton offered this response: an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would be "a big mistake."

On Dec. 6th President Bill Clinton will be hosting a fundraiser for Hillary at Crobar in Chelsea. The place will be swinging with hip young Democrats who are ponying up from $50 to $2,000 for the privilege of basking in the charismatic glow of Bill and for the benefit of our local hawk’s re-election campaign. Sen. Clinton won’t be there—she tends to avoid events in the bluest of blue cities with its anti-war hordes—but let’s be outside anyways to let her know we’re following her. And this is only the beginning.
