From the Toronto star thestar.com U.S. vote not a shift to left, Bill Clinton says Nov. 8, 2006. 08:59 PM CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Former U-S president Bill Clinton says it would be a mistake to view the results of Tuesday's mid-term elections as a move to the left. Clinton says Americans are demanding a government that is fact-based and doesn't ignore the interests of the middle class and working poor. He says voters rejected hard-headed ideological politics, where people make up in their mind what the answer is and make the facts fit the answer. Clinton told an Ottawa fundraiser that the triumph for the Democratic party is clearly a call for a new direction in Iraq. The Democrats took back control of the House of Representatives and hold at least half the seats in the Senate. Clinton spoke Wednesday night at a fundraising dinner for the Jewish National Fund of Ottawa. He was paid a reported $150,000 for the speaking engagement at the dinner, which was slated to raise more than $1 million for reforestation and water preservation projects in Israel.
