HILLARY'S '08 KICKOFF?
NY Post ^ | November 26, 2005 | NY Post Editorial

Posted on 11/26/2005 9:06:32 AM PST by ConservativeStatement

November 26, 2005 -- Did Hillary Clinton just announce her candidacy for president? Sure, she'd deny it. And it certainly there's been no formal campaign kickoff.

But what do you call it when a leading Democrat — from New York — calls for tax relief in . . . Puerto Rico?

True, pandering is par for the course among pols — particularly Democrats.

But this one seems to have an unmistakable purpose: to shore up political support among Puerto Ricans in New York for her Senate bid next year and maybe also nationally for a possible run for the White House in '08.

Didn't her husband, while still the Scumbag in Chief, pardon Puerto Rican terrorists just to pander to the New York P.R. community during the witch's senate campaign?

Never, Never, Never trust Democrats with the National Security.

But according to her own words, she was already president for 8 years; therefore, she can't run for president again. (Sorry, I don't have a date.)

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."

--Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents.

These people don't like the average American; so why should they be in any office?

Yup, as it says in the story:

"And Hillary, recall, has engaged in Puerto Rican pandering before. During her last campaign, her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, awarded clemency to 15 members of the Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN."

Thanks. This needs to be thrown in the witch's face every time she is discussing the W.O.T. and national security. These scumbags CANNOT be trusted.

Is Hillary talking about relief from federal taxes in Puerto Rico?

What federal taxes do the residents of Puerto Rico pay?

Not federal income tax.

Social security and Medicare taxes, maybe? So now what, they should receive those programs free, too?

LOL!
