Senator Clinton Votes
American Chronicle ^ | July 16, 2005 | By Jim Kouri, CPP

Presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Clinton once again displayed how she can talk out of both sides of her mouth depending on whom she's addressing. Recently in New York, Senator Clinton, as part of her attempt to re-invent herself, told a cheering crowd that the United States had to protect our borders and deal with illegal immigration.

But, according to the Washington Times, Clinton and her fellow New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer turned thumbs down on two amendments to a Department of Homeland Security spending bill, which would have funded 2,000 new Border Patrol agents and more than 5,000 new detention beds to house illegal aliens.

According to NewsMax, just last week the former first lady blasted President Bush on border security in a statement posted to her official Senate Web site. NewMax quotes Madam Hillary as saying, "This administration has failed to provide the resources to protect our borders, or a better system to keep track of entrants to this country," she complained, adding, "I welcome the addition of more border security." In the past she has claimed to be "adamantly against illegal immigrants."

Yet Senator Clinton and her comrades voted against border security enhancements, once again displaying her propensity for double-speak. Meanwhile, Senator Schumer's explanation -- once you cut through all the bull -- is that there's just not enough pork in such a bill for New York, since states such as California, Texas and Arizona stand to gain increased funding to control the borders. Senator Clinton, on the other hand, does what she does best: refuses to comment on her actions. She's probably once again studying the situation to see how she feels about it, a familiar Democrat Party trick to avoid telling the American people what she really believes.

Hillary Clinton...not the great protector of US sovereignty after all. Why am I not surprised?
----
Her entire existence is about POWER AND CONTROL. She, like the rest of the socialists trying to take over this country, care nothing about the country, its needs or its people -- to say nothing of her total lack of qualifications to be any where near our White House.

Thus, she cares about ONE THING ONLY and that is votes. Votes from anywhere, at any price to our nation -- thus she will pander to every illegal Mexican that has even a remote chance of voting for her.....

Welcome to Hillary Clinton -- EVA PERON ON STEROIDS !!!!
