The true "rest of the story" is reported in today's actual News and Observer "newspaper" which is thus: The Clinton $1000 Hurricane Fran housing fundraiser (guffaw - more on this topic later) was held in a home in an area of Raleigh still without power from the ice storm of this week. Last night the temps were the coldest of the week - below 20 degrees in some areas - and the "inside the Beltline" area of Raleigh has many neighborhood still without power - including the one where this Ambassador Hyde lives - Hayes Barton.

Amazingly, her home had power restored so that the Democratic fat cats attending - including the Governor who has had much face time on the media pretending to care about the people of NC suffering in the bitter cold from lack of power....but the other homes in the area had no power at all! Now I was called this morning to be told this news - so we need area Freepers who have an actual News and Observer hard copy from today to confirm this tidbit of information.

The person who called me lives in the "inside the Beltine area" and froze through last night with no power - and is so livid after reading the "privileged Democrats" cavorting in heat and comfort while neighbors right around them continued to freeze - (special treatment by CP&L - the power company???) - that this person wanted to be sure something was posted on FR about it and pass the world up the line of our VRWC news commentators.

More soon - may have to invest in a N&O - though it is strictly against my principles!

Just a ping to see if anybody has read today's News and Observer which supposedly reported Clinton's fundraiser being at a home that mysteriously had power while others in the neighborhood did not......need confirmation - but the article about the fundraiser visits by Clinton is for sure.

How gauche is it that Clinton come to supposedly raise money for housing for people hurt by Hurricane Fran when

1. In this week's crisis which people are comparing to the devastation of Fran - Clinton and his Democratic elite bigwigs party and pal around in cozy WARMTH while the neighbors right around him continue to freeze - meaning they supposedly care about the Fran victims now (Ha! Ha! Ha!) but not a thing about the December Ice Storm Victims right around them!!!!

2. Multiplied millions were raised in 1996 after Hurricane Fran - much of it controlled by the Democrats who run the NC State government - and the complaints of the people that money was intended to help have not stopped being heard even if the N&O squelches them. People were put into trailers - but multiplied millions that was raised was either not spent by the NC money brokers or was given to people who didn't need it - with it being RETURNED TO THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS some - just this week!!!!

This outrage - if 100% true - MUST BE BROADCAST LOAD AND CLEAR PLEASE - NEED WPTF RADIO PEOPLE ON IT NOW. I hope Jerry Agar will be on top of it Monday. Please help see that he is.

He quoted scripture? I wonder if he got any of them right this time. (He has a trackrecord of misquoting scripture. That's because he's never really read it and doesn't really think much of it anyway.)

He is telling the democrats to back Bush because he knows Bush will have a very successful Iraq campaign taht will be over in 6 months

Then Clinton knows the Gullible American public will turn to the Clinton democrats to save the economy just like in 1992

even found a kind word for his old nemesis, Sen. Jesse Helms.

What do you suppose AR Bill is "up to" here? Or is he getting nostalgic about all the Republicans he outfoxed?

"Clinton also appeared at a fund-raiser in which he said his successor was taking the right approach in pressuring a regime change should Saddam Hussein not give up his weapons of mass destruction."

Ya gotta admit that this boy really does try to play all of the angles!

If the lights went out, I hope all of the ladies kept both hands firmly on their britches. Otherwise, the rest of us are going to have to support another generation of Clinton perverts.

Yeah, its cold here in SC too. Came home from work,a couple of nights ago, trees and power poles were all over the road. My brother is still without power and doesn't expect it back up until Wednesday.So far ,I've been fortunate.

As I was on my way home from work, I noticed the local jail (Northside) in Spartanburg,SC was also without power.That must be one unhappy place about now.

Bill Clinton addressing the DLC on 3 DEC 02

What should our security position be? First of all, we ought to listen to Senator Graham. Al Qaeda should be our top priority, Iraq is important but the terrorist network is more urgent in terms ofits threat to our immediate security as we have seen recently in the attacks in Kenya and in Bali. There was a report in the press recently that the number two man in the al Qaeda organization, Dr. al-Zawahiri is hiding out in Bangladesh. If he is, we ought to find him and get him.

Bill Clinton addressing NC democrats on 6 DEC 02

I hope the Democrats will support the position the administration now has in Iraq, which I think is the correct one," Clinton said at a $1,000-a-person fund-raiser at the home of former U.S. Ambassador Jeanette Hyde and her husband, Wallace. "We are going through the U.N. first. But we haven't ruled out the use of force."

Not that his opinion matters much anymore, but I wish this guy would at least try to be consistent.

"...which I think is the correct one,"

Then why didn't HE do something about it before?

This makes me FURIOUS.......not a good way to start my Saturday, after this LONG week. If we had ONLY known! I know where this place is, and I could have been down there!

Although he appeared in Raleigh to back church efforts to replace housing destroyed during Hurricane Floyd, Clinton also appeared at a fund-raiser...


Just so there's no misunderstanding, this isn't the same type of nefarious, underhanded, barely legal and greedy type of fund-raising perpetrated by Bush, or any other Republicans for that matter.

This is the touchy-feely, media-approved, look-the-other-way, politically correct fund-raising that the Dems have always been well-known for.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

There is another story coming out of this article. Note how BILL Clinton pretty much expresses support for Bush's position, while HILLARY Clinton is taking the other side. Its the ultimate political hedge. If things go wrong, she was the wise warning visionary who could have avoided this. If things go well, Bill was in support. When her conflicting stance is pointed out, she'll first say that she changed her opinion as she went along, and that Bill's later statement actually reflected her thinking at that later time. They can flip flop publicly stating their positions as the polls and likelihood of success ebbs and flows. But if that argument isn't enough, they'll say that what a great team they are, how sometimes they don't agree but provide a great balance. 2 Presidents for the price of one garbage.

Later in the evening, Clinton appeared before a dinner sponsored by the General Baptist State Convention

This somewhat obfuscating language raises another point that might be worth investigating. Where did crinton actually eat dinner? It says he "appeared before a dinner," which might mean almost anything. Did he make a flying visit to these guys and then go eat somewhere else, because their power was off? Just wondering.

Subject: Letter of Thank You to ex President Bill Clinton

Dear Mr. Ex-President:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, . . . specifically:

1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.

3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "is" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one involved does NOT have sex.

4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.

5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.

6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.

7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.

8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.

9. Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars-I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more well deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned dollars than jet fuel for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you; the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.

10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society.

11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware, I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."

12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel, thank you!

13. And finally, please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her upcoming "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $5 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!

14. The last and most important point- thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners." However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

Why shouldn't Americans know the real truth? What a guy!! If you agree that the American public must be made aware of these fact, pass this on. God bless America and THANK YOU (once again) for spending my taxes so wisely and frugally.

SINCERELY,

A US Citizen
