This one we picked up from Drudge just made us laugh.
Once again, Hillary Rodham Clinton leads in a poll. This time, she was top choice when people were asked which major 2008 presidential candidate would make the scariest Halloween costume.
Asked about costume choices, 37 percent in an Associated Press-Ipsos survey this month chose New York Sen. Clinton, the front-runner among Democratic presidential contenders.

Does it strike you as strange that Hillary Clinton is receiving political contributions in the thousands of dollars from waiters and busboys in Chinatown? Well to the LA Times, it’s perfectly understandable.
Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton’s campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown.
At this point in the presidential campaign cycle, Clinton has raised more money than any candidate in history. Those dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers are part of the reason. And Clinton’s success in gathering money from Chinatown’s least-affluent residents stems from a two-pronged strategy: mutually beneficial alliances with powerful groups, and appeals to the hopes and dreams of people now consigned to the margins.

The writers seem to blithely accept that all these people are telling them the truth. If this story was about a Republican, you can bet that nobody at the LA Times would accept the following as truth:
Many of Clinton’s Chinatown donors said they had contributed because leaders in neighborhood associations told them to. In some cases, donors said they felt pressure to give.
Are they idiots at the LA Times? Seriously, are they idiots? Why else would you write a story like this and accept the donations as real. Have they forgotten the Hsu scandal already?
One does not need to be Edward R Murrow to figure out this is more of Hillary’s illegal campaign fundraising activity. They hint around about all the money might not be real. The writers mention that they can’t track down 2/3 of the donars. Yet in the end, their conclusion is….nothing. They say nothing. Obviously the LA Time only cares about Republican corruption.
What’s more disturbing about this story to us though, is the obvious Chinese connection to the Clinton campaign. It harkens back to Bubba and his Chinese fundraising scandal involving John Huang. If the Chinese are trying to buy influence with Hillary, and we believe they are, the question is WHY? Obviously it will not be the LA Times that gets to the bottom of this story.
We grabbed this from the folks over at thehill.com. It’s a fascinating piece about Hillary’s past predilection for spying on people that might upset her personal apple cart, and her present day hypocrisy regarding the US Intelligence services need to do the same.
Republicans are focusing on an allegation in a recent book by two Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters, which suggests Clinton listened to a secretly recorded conversation between political opponents.
In their book about Clinton’s rise to power, Her Way, Don Van Natta Jr., an investigative reporter at The New York Times, and Jeff Gerth, who spent 30 years as an investigative reporter at the paper, wrote: “Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. She received memos about the status of various press inquiries; she vetted senior campaign aides; and she listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack.
“The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill,” Gerth and Van Natta wrote in reference to Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. “Bill’s supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions.”

Boy that bright idea didn’t last long did it Hillary? Now what pie in the sky promise will you make to get poor people to vote for you? How about $1000 per person to open up a 401k? Yeah, that’s that’s the $100 billion dollar ticket!
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed tax cuts of up to $1,000 a year on Tuesday to encourage millions of working-age families to open personal 401 (K) retirement accounts.
The New York senator said the program would be paid for through higher estate taxes.At the same time, Clinton said she has given up another idea for a savings incentive—giving every baby born in the United States a $5,000 account to pay for college or a first home.
Instead, she said, her plan for what she called “American Retirement Accounts” will provide “universal access to a generous 401(K) for all Americans.”
She outlined a program in which the government would provide a “matching refundable tax credit—dollar for dollar—for the first $1,000 of savings done by every married couple making up to $60,000 a year.”

We could go on for days about how the liberal media and the Far Left swept Sandy Berger’s lying, stealing, and some would say, outright treason, under the rug. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so commonplace. The facts remain: He stole classified documents and destroyed them to protect somebody! And now he’s one of Hillary’s advisors? Are you kidding us?
Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s presidential campaign when the scandal broke in 2004, has assumed a similar role in Clinton’s campaign, even though his security clearance has been suspended until September 2008. This is raising eyebrows even among Clinton’s admirers.

And yet, millions of blind sheep want this woman to be President. It boggles the mind!
