GOP BIG RIPS HILL OVER AIDE

The head of New York GOP blasted Hillary Clinton's ethics yesterday in the wake of the indictment of the junior senator's former finance director.

"Is anyone really surprised that another Clinton confidant has been indicted?" said Stephen Minarik.

"Hillary Clinton's public life reads like an instruction manual for breaking the rules. New Yorkers deserve better."

[yoe]

What I don't understand is how can her Finance Director be nailed and not Hillary..."

The Clintons have managed to keep from being indicted but not being accused. Both lied and continue to do so...the MSM is becoming their latest victim - Harold Ickes is reported to be down and McAulfee is not too far behind as his use to them is now over except for knowing where the bodies are, Terry would have been long gone....Maybe nothing sticks to the Clintons because they are a figment of the MSM & MSP, an illusion, murky at best. The wholesale of our National Security to China will eventually be their undoing…it would help if reporters would get some cojonies and tell the truth about this despotic pair.

[expatpat]

Yeah, but this will give the story more legs -- the MSM haven't exactly been wallowing in it.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Exactly, Grannymay. Someone who donates used underwear to Goodwill for a tax write-off is someone who knows where EVERY penny is going. She cannot claim ignorance and brilliance at the same time. Not that she won't try, but..

How dare Mrs. Clinton lecture us about voter fraud!

Like this story! Bump!

NC has a followup on the former aide to $inator Hilldebea$t.

The Dummies seemed to like the color orange.

I think it is the only color she would look good in--behind prison walls. :-)

[cynicom]

Whole lot of people in NY voted for her.

This only scratches the surface....I hope FReepers read Aaron Tonken's book 'King of Cons" for the lowdown.....it's still in bookstores but libraries have it, or can get it for you on loan.

It isn't necessary, and sometimes counterproductive to pounce on the enemy when they are beating themselve up.

The Clintons have continuously defied expectations. So many times they lost their cases in court. Bill has had right to practice law revoked. Hillary would never had been elected as a senator for New York if what you are suggesting was true. 

This is a beast of a different color. We need newer and much more effective strategies to take her out of office then by just letting her record speak for itself, and relying on peoples' good sense.

With Hillary's thighs more legs could be a dangerous thing. Honestly when the NYGOP attacks/comments on this story it doesn't give it more legs. It gives moderates an excuse to ignore the story as partisan bickering and rats a chance to paint the GOP as unfair to liberal voters. It won't matter what the charges are, the NY media will twist words and minimize for Hillary if they can use Republicans as attack dog.

The NYGOP should have said "We will let the matter be investigated by the proper authorities," and let the papers detail the facts. Now the papers can run the story as "Republicans attacked Hillary with charges of...insert charges. The story then becomes the evil Republicans out to get Hillary. The NYGOP statement is counter productive. It doesn't add any credibility to the charges with moderate or liberal voters, and we need some of those voters if we want to elect Republicans in NY.

President Clinton's reelection after 4 years of scandals should have taught people something. When Republicans are maneuvered into a position of being the messenger...we get shot.

According to several, including Morris, she is absolutely hands-on everything.

[beaelysium]

I think it's about time that the GOP speaks up, and do it loud and often. This is about crime, corruption, socialism, and clintons, not nearly the same league as someone who wants to criticize your kid.

Please! please! tell me why this administration kept this ruling under wraps for a year, until now, and why it is giving the Clintons any legitimization at all via sending Billy out Bush's Dad to take a look at the tsunami effects.

"Republicans attacked Hillary with charges of...insert charges."

That's better to me than no headline at all. I guess we agree to disagree.

[Once-Ler]

I think the headline would be there with or without the statement by the NYGOP. We can disagree on strategery as long as we agree Hillary is the enemy and NY, America, and the World will be a better placed when she is sent packing from office.

The key to understanding Hillary's public pronouncements (and Barabra Boxer and most other democrat vermin) is to understand what a sick, evil paranoid sociopath she is. The privitive mental mechanism of projection is basic.

Voter fraud and corruption allegations against Republicans? Totally untrue. It is these DEMOCRATS who are the criminal perpetrators of fraud.

I sense a change in the spiritual continuum..
Did Ol' Vinnie Foster just SMILE.?.

[cicero's_son]

Hmmm......wonder what Molly Ivins will have to say about this?

Her last column was on how the GOP's "biggest priority" is to lower ethics standards for elected officials. LOL.

Bumping for a later read. Thanks.
