Support For Hillary Clinton Presidential Bid Falls To Lowest Level This Year

November 30, 2005

If Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008, just 25% of Americans say they would definitely vote for her. That’s down five points over the past two weeks. It’s also the lowest level of support measured for the former First Lady in 2005. (Review Trends).

Forty percent (40%) would definitely vote against Senator Clinton. That’s little changed from two weeks ago. Rasmussen Reports has conducted a Hillary Meter poll every other week since April. Only once has the number who say they would definitely vote against Clinton been higher than it is now.

Rep.Cunningham Pleads Guilty to Tax Violations…And Hillary Skates Again

November 30, 2005

Once again, the media and law enforcement contrasts between their dealings with the GOP leadership and the DNC/Clinton leadership, is extremely puzzling. The serial criminal violations by the Clinton DNC leadership that I personally know of, and that I detailed to the Justice Department in six separate proffers in 2001-2002, as well as to various media outlets, remain entirely unaddressed. (The sole exception being the half hearted trial of a Clinton underling, David Rosen, intended to provide a convenient Fall Guy to insulate the Hillary/Bill DNC leadership). There seems to be a law enforcement crack down on the GOP leadership with a complimentary media feeding frenzy on the GOP “culture of corruption in Washington”, as reported by the Associated Press today, while there is an absence of any announced investigations or prosecutions of Democrats for similar or more egregious ethical improprieties:

Hillary Clinton Mum on Pre-war Intel Report

November 30, 2005

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won’t say whether she read a key intelligence report on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction before she voted in Oct. 2002 to authorize the Iraq war.

Asked directly by the Boston Herald whether she did her homework by reading the report on the threat posed by Saddam Hussein’s WMDs, the paper reports that the Democratic frontrunner “declined to say.”

Hillary Clinton: Iraq War Vote a Mistake

November 30, 2005

For the first time since she voted to authorize the Iraq war three years ago, 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is now saying that vote was a mistake - in an apparent move to pacify growing dissatisfaction with her position among the Democratic Party’s left-wing base.

“If Congress had been asked [to authorize the war], based on what we know now, we never would have agreed,” Clinton said, in an email sent to her supporters on Tuesday.

While saying she took full responsibility for her error, Clinton repeatedly insisted that she had been misled by “false” intelligence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction presented by the Bush administration.

Citing “assurances they gave that they would first seek to resolve the issue of weapons of mass destruction peacefully through United Nations sponsored inspections,” Clinton lamented: “Their assurances turned out to be empty ones.”

In fact, “the Administration refused repeated requests from the U.N. inspectors to finish their work,” she complained.

Hillary Clinton Defends Pro-War Vote

November 30, 2005

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday defended her vote to authorize war in Iraq amid growing unease among liberal Democrats who could determine the potential 2008 presidential candidate’s future.

“I take responsibility for my vote, and I, along with a majority of Americans, expect the president and his administration to take responsibility for the false assurances, faulty evidence and mismanagement of the war,” the New York senator said in a lengthy letter to thousands of people who have written her about the war.

At the same time, she said the United States must “finish what it started” in Iraq.

Clinton and other hawkish Democrats have come under criticism from liberal anti-war activists, many of whom will hold sway over presidential primary contests. The former first lady, who is up for re-election in 2006, would likely be an early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination should she decide to seek it.
