“If hillary really cared about ethics, then Sandy Berger wouldn’t be on her campaign payroll”

They want to make sure this toady (Berger) doesn’t rat them out.

And I recall all those Freepers who were (and remain) terrified of the ‘inevitability’ of Hiliarly being nominated and sweeping the general election.

That stupid cow has never run a national political campaign, and it’s showing.

Incompetence reigns supreme.

She’s a goner, and THAT is what’s ‘inevitable’

Yet Hitlery’s campaign issued a campaign email the day before Shaheen made the charge saying the same thing in very similar words, according to the liberal Huffington Post.

I’m looking for the link, but I heard Rush say this today.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/11/as-iowa-nears-clinton-al_n_76235.html

On Monday morning, Hillary Clinton’s campaign included a cryptic, somewhat ominous, note in an email to journalists and supporters:

Something to Chew On: Respected columnist David Yepsen notes that “it’s important for Democrats to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate. Clinton’s negatives are well-known, Obama’s less so. Any shortcomings, inconsistencies or misstatements in Obama’s past will be exploited by Republicans in the fall campaign if he’s the nominee. It’s best for Democrats to vet them now.”
The Clinton campaign email did not spell out Obama’s “shortcomings, inconsistencies or misstatements,” but other Democratic activists have quietly received messages from Clinton allies pointing in the likely direction. Those messages provided a link to an Iowa Independent story by Douglas Burns headlined “The Politics Of Obama’s Past Cocaine Use.”

Burns’ article on Obama posed a question that Clinton has been unwilling to raise herself and that has received little attention during the Democratic primary battles: If Barack Obama becomes the nominee, will the GOP be able to turn his acknowledged cocaine use into a debilitating issue.

The questions Shaheen brought up are legitimate, and will almost certainly be asked if he wins the nomination.

Co-sign.

Hillary Clinton-who was married to a man whom even Charlie Rangel has derided for his lax efforts at enforcing our drug control laws-raising these charges is the height of hypocrisy, but that doesn't make the charges themselves illegitimate.

To me, Obama's discussion of this issue has raised some disturbing questions about his fitness for office.

Doesn’t Rush always say this? That since Democrats don’t HAVE ethics, they are not ever hypocrites and never have to worry about keeping to any kind of standard. Standards and ethics are old fashioned, and Republicans believe in them and therefore are fallible. Not having any ethics at all of any kind is far preferable in the Democrat playbook than to have high standards and fall short. The perfection of low expectations is the Democrat way.

Here’s what I plan to tell the next Hillary supporter I meet:

Why Hillary? If it is time for a woman president, why does it have to be one that was recently called “America’s Mother-in-law?” Maybe it’s asking too much for the Democrats to run a conservative woman, but couldn’t they at least find a liberal with a pleasant face and personality? Lord knows, I see plenty of them in everyday life; the local health food store would be a good place to start. If we elected Pamela Anderson, for instance, and she made a mistake, most of us would just say, “Don’t worry your pretty little head over that,” and move on to the next issue. And she’d probably get along all right with the foreign leaders who annoy us now, like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez.

Why has this guy been fired? He hasn't said anything Obama hasn't.

While at exclusive Punahou School, he turned into a disenchanted teenage rebel, experimenting with cocaine and marijuana.

In his memoir/fable, "Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," Obama recalls that he had "been headed" to the status of "junkie" or "pothead", which he describes as "the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man". He recalls smoking "reefer" in the backs of his friends' vans, dorm rooms and "on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school".

"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though." After transferring to Columbia, from Occidental College,Obama wrote, "I stopped getting high. I ran 3 miles a day and fasted on Sundays.

On "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (12/5/2006) Obama was asked by Leno about taking drugs. Said Leno, "Remember, Senator, you are under oath. Did you inhale?" Replied Obama, "That was the point." In his book, Obama excuses his drug use as "reflective of the struggles and confusion of a teenage boy; teenage boys are frequently confused.”

"Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed . . ."

Then my life really went to hell when I adopted socialism as a political philosophy. I've never been able to recover from that. I know it's hurt millions of people, but I just can't seem to shake it.

Hillary likes to fire people. She enjoys it. I just can’t imagine her having an “advisor”. She’s always in charge and nobody could advise her about anything because she’s the smartest woman in the universe.
