Sen. Clinton challenges veto threat

By MIKE GLOVER, AP Political WriterTue Apr 3, 10:25 AM ET

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday criticized President Bush for his plan to veto a measure setting a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq.

"This is vetoing the will of the American people," Clinton said. "It is time for us to get them out of the middle of this sectarian civil war."

Clinton began her day by joining former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and his wife, Christie, for breakfast at their Mount Pleasant home. Clinton hopes to build support for her presidential campaign by joining the Vilsacks, who endorsed her last week.

Vilsack dropped out of the presidential race in February.

Clinton focused on opposition to the war in Iraq and renewable fuels.

Mrs. Bill, hush yo' mouth.

No. Keep talking.

[Williams]

They will say anything, the problem is we don’t have an executive who bashes them back for it. And they need verbal bashing badly.

[italianquaker]

never argue with a fool

[dirtboy]

"This is vetoing the will of the American people," Clinton said.

Hmmm. The Founders set the veto override percentage at 67 percent.

So our government is predicated on the President having the power to counter the will of the majority.

[NeoCaveman]

OK, who asked the Pantsuit her opinion?

[musicman]

Since hillary can't seem to keep her mouth shut, this is for those who would like one for download:

[relictele]

Omniscient Hillary speaks for the entire American people! Her mobile phone bill must be quite large after taking all those calls.

[edcoil]

“will of the American people”

Was to say it was fair to have one branch being democrat since the left complained republicans had all three.

It was however the legislative branch not the executive we elect to run wars.

This is the constant battle between the two branches for whose in charge.

[P-40]

"This is vetoing the will of the American people," Clinton said.

I somehow don't think the American people are insisting on approval of the outright bribes that bill contains.

[bigbob]

If she wants out of Iraq so badly, she should have the balls to introduce a bill to cut off war funding. Bring it on.

[Sig Sauer P220]

So Hillary belows in mob rule. She doesn’t know that this is a represented Republic.

[Sig Sauer P220]

belows = believes

[Williams]

IMHO they will deny funding and unless Bush rallies public support the war is lost.

And did she walk off with the silverware?

“They will say anything, the problem is we don’t have an executive who bashes them back for it”

This is the post of the Year! We haven’t had anyone on the Republican side who will call these dims out for their positions! We need someone with some BALLS that will hold a press conference everyday and call these people out!

[pleikumud]

The will of the American people is best reflected by our all volunteer military. Those fighting in Iraq and elsewhere to give the rest of us freedom and security come from all 50 states and a wide range of backgrounds. They embody the spirit of America.

[ElectricStrawberry]

Must be what the polls told her to say today.

[Edgerunner]

She is a blow-hard of biblical proportion...

[jagusafr]

Ah, but we military types are all too stupid to do anything else, aren’t we? That means she can ignore what we do and think.

Colonel, USAFR

[Crimson Elephant]

Wow, Obama shows himself to be the only one on the Dem side with a lick of common political sense. He knows the correct political play...for Dems to say “we made our point, now here is the money...its on you Pres. Bush”.

Reid Hillary and Pelosi on the other hand look to be sqawking about going another round.

Very interesting.

[Ludicrous]

Translation:
Bush doesn’t have the equipment to veto this bill - we democrats neutered him in Nov.

[gpapa]

We won the war when we eliminated Saddamm Hussein and his regime, but then decided, either beforehand or afterward, to “nation build” which has brought us to where we are today. We are not the Nation of yesteryear when we mobilized the entire country in WWII. No, we are a bunch of softies who have no taste for wars on distant shores.

[lilylangtree]

If there really are in any islamic sleeper cells and they need potential candidates to explode, my votes on Hitlery & “I wannabe treated as prez” Pelosi.

[Kerretarded]

PJ,

Put Hillary in the bear suit!

[pleikumud]

The Clintonistas and other Demo-Socialists probably think General Eisenhower, General Marshall, General Patton, Admiral Rickover, Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, General MacArthur, General Bradley, General Franks, General Robert E. Lee, General Grant, John Paul Jones, etc., were too stupid to do anything else. The Demo-Socialists are anti-American and anti-capitalist. They would be very much at home in the former USSR.

“This is vetoing the will of the American people,” Clinton said.

This could come back to haunt you HillBill, but then again you can just say you don’t recall that

[image7]

Bush IS far from neutered. Liberals think they have what they need now-—only they just cannot see that the communist wing of their ‘movement’ IS going to poison the dems chances come 2008.

Rush had a great rant about this today. He says that someone, especially those running for president, should be out there pounding the Dems...the American people will always rally around a leader.

[LibLieSlayer]

No hildebeast... he is going to veto your party, their insane treason and your fat arse.

hildebeast is so fat that when she recently went into a restaurant to eat, the waiter handed her a menu. She looked at it and said, “YES”! When she was flying out of JFK last week, she was wearing a yellow pant suit. She bent over to retrieve her purse from the back seat of a cab and two Japanese business men tried to pry apart her butt cheeks and climb inside.

[LibLieSlayer]

He can stop paying their salaries and divert funds to the troops with an executive order. billyjeff did it and crushed Newt and the boys! We will not lose the War, unless we lose the Whitehouse.

“This is vetoing the will of the American people.”

He’s doing it legally and constitutionally, Hitler, unlike activist judges who throw out legislation voted upon by the people (think California I$R regarding affirmative action and handouts to illegals).

Hitlery is her own worst opponent as the election season nears.

[jveritas]

Mrs. Bill Clinton: This is a veto against the traitors in our midst and against the terrorists abroad. It is a veto against defeat. It is a veto to accomplish victory.

PS: You are not going to be President, ever, never.

[jveritas]

This is the worst translation ever. The President will veto this treasonous bill.

[PhilDragoo]

[jveritas]

Please do not bring constitutional facts to liberals; they are too stupid to understand it.

[potlatch]

Wonderful post devolve! Colorful!!

[potlatch]

Hear me roar!!

[devolve]

Mega-Bumperoos!

Let’s whack Ambassado(u)r Pelosi too!

[ClaireSolt]

After you Hitlery. Get us out of the sectarian civil war in Kosovo, first. It has been 10 years.

[potlatch]

Lol, YOU can whack her out of the sky! Did she fly there in her toy plane?

[Centurion2000]

"This is vetoing the will of the American people," Clinton said.

Stroke of the pen, NOT the law of the land.
Kinda cool

BOOMERANG

[scratcher]

I agree, let her keep talking. America has not voted for defeat. This will hurt the liberals in 08.

[Centurion2000]

Put Hillary in the bear suit!

HillaryBearPig?

[Centurion2000]

Put Hillary in the bear suit!

“This is vetoing the will of the American people,” Clinton said.”...

Someone should tell this woman that the USA is a democratic republic, not a democracy. The “will of the people”, in other words, “mob rule” is irrelevant. The checks and balances built into the US Constitution include veto and and its override. Perhaps the “World’s Smartest Woman” skipped civics class in 8th grade.

[ShandaLear]

So if elected, Hillary promises to never veto any bill sent to her by Congress. Thanks Hill!

[justa-hairyape]

Gee, and I thought the American people were voting against the ‘culture of corruption’. You know the kinda of corruption that allows unneeded pork fat to slip into important bills. Amazing position these dimwits are taking, holding our troops hostage while demanding a pork ransom.
