Sen. Sleaze, Lady Hillary, Sets New Lows

Forget the litany of illegal, unethical and immoral acts she committed as
first lady, as well as beforehand.
And put aside all of the numerous documented accounts of her vulgar mouth,
foul temper, and reprehensible behavior.
Just look at the sleaze oozed by Lady Hillary both during her campaign, and
since her election, as a U.S. senator from New York.
She used and abused official White House government-paid resources in the
conduct of her own political campaign from the beginning.
Recall that White House staffers were employed for purely political purposes
in furtherance of her self-orchestrated campaign from the very start. That
is wrong and against the law.
Remember the use of Air Force aircraft - at taxpayer expense - to travel
from Washington to New York for blatantly political "official" events, to
the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars scammed from the public
treasury.
Then there was the use and abuse of White House facilities and events to
actually raise campaign money for her Senate bid, from "special" invitations
to state dinners to overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom to trips on Air
Force One - all for the express purpose of shaking down political
contributions.
And of course it was obvious to everyone who saw it that hosting the New
York Yankees at the White House some 10 months after they won the 1999 World
Series, complete with Lady Hillary awkwardly donning a "NY" Yankee cap, was
orchestrated solely for the photo-op value.
We also saw a so-called listening tour throughout New York, where never once
did her majesty ever appear before a group of real New Yorkers, but always
and only with a carefully selected, pre-screened bunch of shills, so as to
avoid any "unplanned" and potentially embarrassing occurrences.
She refused to appear on any of the national Sunday political news talk
shows and generally avoided real contact with the media throughout the
campaign, always fearful of subjecting herself to tough questioning.
She ran television ads purportedly showing average New Yorkers, who were
then exposed as Democrat partisans posing as unbiased voters, casting
aspersions against her opponent, then-Rep. Rick Lazio.
Lady Hillary pushed, lobbied and secured the pardon and release of a dozen
convicted murderers and conspirators, who had committed numerous atrocities
in the name of Puerto Rican nationalism that resulted in the death and
disfigurement of police officers and innocent victims, all in a sick attempt
to appeal to New York's sizable community of Puerto Rican heritage, which in
itself is an insult to the very voters she clumsily hoped to woo.
Now it has been revealed that Lady Hillary personally also secured pardons
for a host of convicted felons, all found guilty of either horrendous crimes
and/or tremendous rip-offs of the government.
Among these was Susan Rosenberg, who participated in the murders associated
with the infamous Brinks armored car robbery decades ago.
But also receiving last-day pardons were four members of the Hassidic
community in New Square, New York, who had convictions for bilking the
government of some $40 million in student loan funds. She personally
escorted group leaders to the White House for a meeting with the president
during her campaign to plead their case. She received 1,400 votes from this
community, while Lazio garnered only 12; neighboring Hassidic areas
overwhelmingly supported Lazio.
Her selling of pardons did not end there, however, as she also secured a
pardon for Marc Rich, who fled the country, renounced his U.S. citizenship
and absconded with some $100 million, nearly half of which was owed in
taxes. This traitor also profited by illegally trading oil with Middle
Eastern terrorist states in violation of U.S. Law.
But what did Lady Hillary care? She received more than a million dollars in
campaign contributions from Rich's ex-wife.
Then there was her highly suspect and unethical book-deal scam, which netted
her some $10 million in cash advances, after her election but before taking
office, to avoid Senate ethics rules.
She also had supporters strong-arm other donors to cough up some $200,000 in
last-minute "gifts" to furnish her various mansions, again to avoid Senate
gift-ban rules.
All of this involves just her activities associated with her campaign for
the U.S. Senate. Such sleaze should not have a seat in the United States
Congress.
But with the complicity of the left-wing media and the gullibility of New
York voters, Senator Sleaze has slithered into the Senate.
It is important to document her slippery path to power in order to prevent
it from ever slinking down Capitol Hill and along Pennsylvania Avenue to the
White House.
This, of course, is her actual goal. Don't believe for even a minute her
declarations that she will serve her full term in the Senate. After all,
another Clinton said the same thing with regard to completing his full term
as Arkansas governor.
He broke his pledge then, just as sure as she'll break hers.
Let us resolve to prevent now that which we as a nation can never allow, and
it certainly is not too early to do so, and that is the election of:
President Hillary Rodham Clinton
Sen. Sleaze will undoubtedly toss her New York Yankees cap into the ring in
2004.
That's a frightening thought.
But it would be a worse reality. |
