| Bill Clinton Bashes Man Behind 'Stop Hillary' Push Mon Apr 11, 2005 04:35 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton took aim on Monday at a powerful political opponent of his wife Sen. Hillary Clinton, saying a surge of "Stop Hillary" efforts "can't stop her." Clinton called one of the leaders of the movement, New York powerbroker Arthur Finkelstein "sad," after reports over the weekend that the Republican consultant married his gay lover. "Either this guy believes his party is not serious and is totally Machiavellian in his position or there's some sort of self-loathing there," Clinton said. "I was more sad for him. The New York Times reported on Saturday that Finkelstein, who has worked to elect strongly conservative Republican politicians, married his male partner in a civil ceremony in Massachusetts in December. The Republican Party opposes same-sex marriages. Hillary Clinton, a Democrat from New York, faces re-election next year, and many believe she will make a run for the U.S. presidency in 2008. Clinton added that he wasn't worried about the "Stop Hillary" campaign, which includes direct mail and Internet-based fund-raising efforts. Republicans say Finkelstein, a long-time ally of New York's Republican Gov. George Pataki, is a key force behind the "Stop Her Now" anti-Clinton campaign and moving behind the scenes to help raise money. Finkelstein rarely speaks to the press. The former president said his wife has worked hard as senator, especially in strongly Republican areas in upstate and western New York. "She's been great and he can't stop her," Clinton said. Clinton made his remarks at his New York office where he announced his foundation was donating $10 million toward treating children with AIDS in rural Africa.

Absolutely.
DDT bad
Muslims good
Whoever said this was a setup was right. Release a book now so folks become bored with the charges ("old news"), trot out Billy boy and others to condemn the "mudslinging" and drum up sympathy. In a few months, the charges are forgotten and Hillary looks like a persecuted saint.
Hey Bubba--working hard. Pleease.
I am in upstate NY and she has not done squat for us.
On second thought---stay put Hillary.
Our workers don't even get tips when you decide to eat up here.
Whaaaat?
You're a conservative? My @$$....
The last noble thing I've done? I'm not into nobility, clowny. I'm also not into debbating with trolls.
Get lost....
Your post 8 was out of line and that's what started it.
Strange how democrats are allowed to bash gays, blacks and women that dont agree with them.
BTTT
I think freebilly's got your number, ndt.
It is sad... and sorta makes me sick.
Call me what you will... It is "sad".
hey willie...if you OR she can't stand the heat...get OUT DA KITCHEN cause I think this is ONLEEEEEE the tip of the iceberg! If hilereee wants to play with the big boys she'll have to deal with all the criticism just like everyone else did. See? I told you she is not Presidential fodder didn't I? She hasn't even declared her candidacy and ole willie is having to go to bat for her already. Dont' think she can handle everything that will come her way. Oh well, maybe she can call the President or the Vice President or Condi Rice or Rummy or any number of professionals to ask for advice on how to deal with what she and her party have been dishing out for years. Now the worm turns....
This is gonna be funnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Pope John Paul II had an "M" on his coffinn for his beloved Mary.. When Slick goes to his just rewards, will he have an "M" on his coffin for his beloved....Monica?
This is the 21st century. And your interrogatory should end with one of these....?
"We should keep in mind that just over 51 percent of all eligible voters cast their ballots in this election, an all time low. This would mean that, realistically, around 25 percent of all eligible voters voted for Bill Clinton. Of this 51 percent, VNS established that:
About 53 percent of those who voted had reservations about the candidate that they supported.
About 47 percent of those who voted for Clinton had reservations about him.
About 53 percent of all voters think Clinton is dishonest. About 59 percent of all voters think Clinton has not been honest about his Whitewater dealings.
About 29 percent of those who voted for Clinton think he has lied.

I've read elsewhere that only about 40% of eligible voters voted.
