Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton embarked on her first major day of campaigning in her re-election bid yesterday, but wound up facing a flurry of questions about Senator Joseph I. Lieberman’s defeat by an antiwar candidate in the Connecticut Democratic primary.

In turn, Mrs. Clinton, a potential 2008 presidential candidate who has come under attack herself because of her refusal to apologize for voting to authorize the use of military force in Iraq, sought to distance herself from Mr. Lieberman.

“I think there is a great deal of difference,’’ Mrs. Clinton told reporters during a stop at a center for the elderly in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, after being asked to distinguish her position on the Iraq war from Mr. Lieberman’s.

“I have been a consistent critic from the beginning,’’ she continued, apparently drawing a distinction between her repeated criticism of President Bush’s management of the war and Mr. Lieberman’s reluctance to criticize it. “And the record reflects that.’’

On Tuesday, Ned Lamont defeated Mr. Lieberman, a three-term senator, in the primary after mounting a fierce campaign attacking the senator’s support for the war and cooperation with President Bush. Mr. Lieberman is staying in the race, filing yesterday to run as an independent this fall.

Mrs. Clinton, speaking to reporters as she campaigned throughout New York City yesterday, insisted that she would support Mr. Lamont and noted that she had, in a phone call to him, offered to provide any assistance he needed as he campaigned in the general election. She made a $5,000 donation to the Lamont campaign.

“I am going to work for the Democratic nominee,’’ Mrs. Clinton said.

Instead, Mrs. Clinton urged Mr. Lieberman to “search his conscience and decide what is best for Connecticut and for the Democratic Party’’ before pushing ahead with an independent candidacy.

I think that is a telling comment. "Connecticut and for the Democratic Party," is not Connecticut and our country.

“I have been a consistent critic from the beginning,’

"I criticized W's conduct of the war even before there was a war."

Clinton's *record* reflects that she voted to enter and remain in the war.

In other words I voted for the war yes, to cover my worthless Fat butt ,then I did everything after that to undermine the effort to again cover my worthless fat butt. You know I voted for it before I talked against it

..... after being asked to distinguish her position on the Iraq war from Mr. Lieberman’s, Hillary said, "I have been a consistent critic from the beginning." Mrs. Clinton said. She urged Mr. Lieberman to “search his conscience and decide what is best for Connecticut and for the Democratic Party’’ before pushing ahead with an independent candidacy.“I am going to work for the Democratic nominee,’’ she said.

Translation: "What the.....? The loser filed to run as an Independent? Is he nutsy-cuckoo? We gotta get that creep out of the Senate race now. Everytime his whining face is on TV, he hurts my presidential chances. Harry better strip him of his committees.......or else. Quick, call Bill, tell him to get those FBI files on Lieberman out of the lockbox pronto."

Dear Frau Hitlery, he has. And he sees the Demoncrat Party heading over a cliff.

In re: The War in Iraq: What is so hard to understand? We gentlefolk of the formerly Christian West, alongside our new allies in Israel, are engaged in another chapter of the millenial struggle agains Islam. Hezbollah ain't about rocket science.

OK, it is just plain embarassing to be anti- any religion for us sophisticates. However, I can deal with it, when many hundreds of millions of the members of this sect think it their Islamic duty to kill, enslave, or convert me, and Ned Lamont. (I wouldn't wish Hillary upon even them.)

Islamic "moderates" merely want me to have no rights, live under Sharia Law, and pay my dhimmi tax, and serve them in Paradise.

Dear Ned, I am not describing a new phenomenon. Battle of Tours? Siege of Granada? Siege of Vienna? Battle of Lepanto? Crusades? Sudan? Kosovo? Ring a bell, Democrats? To be "Anti-War" when the foe wants you dead is just plain stupid.

Onward Christian (sort of) Soldiers! !Santiago y a ellos!
