in her campaign. Please don't let her get the nomination. I am in Oregon. My vote in the primary means nothing. We are depending on the early states to select anyone but Hillary.

I would like to be fully informed as to the nature and extent of Obama's youthful experimentation with drugs. Where is the transparency? Confession is good for the soul.

THE TORRES-VIGNALI CONNECTION is explored in detail in a congressional report that resulted from Pardongate, when revelations surfaced that President Clinton granted clemency for Carlos Vignali Jr. — convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in 1995 — along with other convicted criminals and one-time international fugitive Marc Rich. The granting of clemency occurred after payments were made to Clinton’s brother-in-law, Hugh Rodham, the brother of former first lady, New York state senator and 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.


Released in March 2002 by the congressional Committee on Government Reform, “Justice Undone: Clemency Decisions in the Clinton White House” details Hugh Rodham’s involvement in the Vignali affair, as well as the long business history Vignali once shared with George Torres.

The report takes to task top L.A. elected officials, including county Supervisor Gloria Molina, then–state Senator Richard Polanco, then–state Assemblyman Antonio Villaraigosa and U.S. Representative Xavier Becerra, among others, for lobbying on behalf of Vignali Jr., in light of his drug conviction and the fact that DEA agents long suspected Vignali Sr. to be involved in drug trafficking — along with Torres. While a member of the California state Assembly, Villaraigosa wrote the first letter on Vignali’s behalf on May 24, 1996.


Saying Hillary Rodham Clinton was a leader who offered a new path, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa today formally endorsed the New York senator and former first lady in her race to become president of the United States.

Villaraigosa will also serve as one of the four national chairs of Clinton’s campaign for the Democratic nomination for president, it was announced.

At a televised news conference from the UCLA campus in Westwood, Villaraigosa praised Clinton’s approach to domestic issues, particularly education, and her pledge to help end the war in Iraq. The pair earlier toured the preschool at UCLA’s Krieger Center. — La Times

She was wrong about the Iraq war and wrong about Iran:

http://www.thought-criminal.org/article/node/909

In addition to taking a gander at this site, consider her campaign contributions from Rupert Murdoch, the Australian fascist and FOX News owner.

Consider her voting record of unbridled and unapologetic support for the Bush campaign and Iraq war.

Then see her video of endorsement of the Iran war:
The real big election winner may well not be Hillary so much as the Republican neo-cons and Christian Zionists who win if she wins.

Don't believe it? Just google 'Hillary Clinton AIPAC' and then try 'Rev. Hagee AIPAC', the self described Christian Zionist, and you will see that Hillary's agenda is not only a reflected by her abysmal voting record for the Bush agenda, but a committment to AIPAC for a nuclear invasion of Iran. She has tacitly endorsed of the rapture cult. She is the darling of the Israel lobby that has tirelessly pushed for invasion of Iran.

Hillary = perpetual war and war profiteering and corporatism.

That is why Hillary Clinton is a pox on America. Hillary will be the designated nominee, not by rank and file Democrats, but by Rupert Mudoch, Disney, GE, Westinghouse, CITI Bank and the war industry. See: www.thought-criminal.org/article/node/909

Hillary has paid her dues to the corporatists and is biding her time. Does it really make a difference if she is President rather than a Republican? We can hope that the other Democratic candidates can begin to torpedo Hillary instead of coddling her. Hillary's war record needs to be flaunted and no mercy shown. Gravel and Kucinich need to step up to Edwards' qualities in his excellent dissing of Corporations as agents of corruption.

Hillary is predictably the wrong choice for President or any public service.
