Hillary Slaps Iowa Voter

NEW HAMPTON, Iowa -- Hillary Clinton is working hard to counter her image as an arrogant Ice Queen. At campaign stops, she laughs at her own jokes and regales the audience with tales of herself as a little girl who stared into the sky with binoculars hoping to catch a glimpse of Sputnik as it passed by.

"Give me a fair reading as to who I am, not who somebody says I am," Clinton pleaded with a room full of Iowa voters as she wrapped up her remarks at a campaign stop here on Sunday.

But just moments later, in a rare stumble for her highly-choreographed campaign, Clinton demonstrated that people's long-standing impressions of her are right on target.

During the question and answer period, Randall Rolph, a retired Democratic voter from Nashua, Iowa, confronted Clinton on her recent vote in favor of a U.S. Senate resolution calling on the Bush administration to declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. The measure has been greeted with suspicion by war critics who view it as a document that President Bush could use as a pretext to launch an attack on Iran.

"Why should I support your candidacy if you haven't learned from the past?" Rolph asked, referring to her 2002 vote to authorize the use of military force in Iraq.

Clinton first thanked him and then countered that, "the premise of the question is wrong." So far, so good. But after offering a description of what was in the resolution, Clinton smugly and dismissively accused him of having been fed the information, saying "obviously somebody sent [it] to you."

Rolph didn't let it pass. "I take exception, this is my own research..."

"Well, then let me finish telling you..." Clinton screamed.(continued)

Nothing has changed.

The same facism that controlled crowds during Bill Clintoon’s campaign stops is in full op during the Hill’s stops.

All of these screeching Hillary adds should be put into campaign adds.

You were not really seeing Sputnik. The Russian engineers, interviewed on the anniversary, said you saw the second stage of the rocket. It was what was visible. I thought that pretty interesting.

Well thre’s our answer. Just send in people to ask questions and watch her go into her rant and screech act and some of the stupid people in the U.S. will see what she really is all about.

[RinaseaofDs]

She’s actually running for the wrong office. I seriously think she could beat Putin if she ran for President in Russia.

She’s made to order for your average Russian voter. Tough as nails, not at all squeamish about assassinating anyone who gets in the way, and has nothing but contempt for the average citizen, businesses, etc.

In fact, I think Putin wouldn’t make it to election day if she could really take the gloves off like she could over there.

Better put the video on You-Tube or somewhere, or it will never be seen.

Sputnik could, too, be seen by the naked eye. Satellites shine with either the moon or sun on them. You’d only see the rocket flare while it was putting the satellite into orbit. Then it separates from the satellite and, as it loses its orbit, eventually disintegrates in the atmosphere.

Thanks for your response.

I don’t know how to explain this to you any better, as you seem to have some misconceptions about the facts.

Notice that other posters have indicated that even the Russians stated that the satellite itself was not visible from Earth’s surface.

It was the Second Stage Booster, which was seen. And the moon reflects the sun’s light, which does not provide enough illumination to make objects visible from Earth.

There are other threads on this same subject (Sputnik) and they confirm what I stated.

Sputnik was only in orbit for a few weeks, even though some think it is still ‘up there’.

I hope you take enough time to research this subject so you will know the truth for yourself.
