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.

This from the woman who accepted money from "The American Muslim Council", but it was put in her public campaign ledger as "The American Museum Council".
Hopefully, Frist and Co. will be able to orchestrate a telling series of votes over the next three years which are carefully designed to separate the wheat from the chaff and box her in but good.

"I voted for more border security, before I voted against it."

They voted for it -- before they voted against it.
Hitlery on display demonstrating her transparency to the world. All that's required is to listen up and pay attention.
Bingo! Sure hate to be as dumb as the RATs think we are! :) We have long memories and this will come back to bite her -- in fact, I would love to see the people on here saying "at least she is for border security and against illegal immigration" see this article.
Problem is, the detention beds at 5000 are on the order of a magnitude short.
Boy, this is going to be all over the news.
